Decks-Etc..Contracting

The project went very smoothly.  There was a slight delay in delivering of deck materials but project stayed on time.

They are very competent, very good, and very professional.  They were very friendly.

I sent Daniel, the owner, an architect's drawing. He came to the house and talked through the drawing with me and made some suggestions that I believe resulted in a better deck such as using 6x6 posts instead of the 4x4 posts shown in the drawing and running a beam between the posts to better match the design of the original deck.

It took about a week to get it scheduled. They showed up each day just before 8am and worked until about 6:30 (dark) until it was completed. They are hard workers! We had a lot of rain and they worked through the lighter rain but had to stop work during the downpours. When they didn't get it completed by Friday due to the rain, they worked through the weekend and into the next week.

The job went smoothly except at one point where we could see that the cross-running steps in the architect's drawing were not going to work given the narrowness of the lot. They willing tore apart what components they had installed including digging up the posts they had placed and ran the steps a different direction.

I wondered how it would look matching an old deck to a new one, but they did a great job matching them together. In no place did I see them cut corners. And they were also very professional about cleaning everything up. Overall a great job!

One more comment. Although Daniel is from Texas he told me spent a few years during the housing boom building houses in New York where, in my opinion. the demands for quality are probably greater than here. You can see that reflected in his work.
