Doug Vickstrom did end up completing the project and stayed on budget. And I like my new shed/goat barn. But unfortunately his rudeness and lack of communication skills overshadowed the good. It was a stressful time. We agreed on a completion date before signing the contract. He even told me the project would only take 2 weeks to complete. But he drug his feet, only working a handful of days, and finally finished 2 months late! So the “On Time” part of his slogan is a lie.

It was fine. The porch was not closed in. Two guys came out and it took them about a month to do the job off and on. In general, we were happy with them. I wasn't completely happy with some of the finishing touches. Caulking holes or touching up paint didn't really get done. We felt like they could have given more attention to detail on that. But it was alright. I asked them to return and finish them but they never did.I would use them again but I would micromanage them.

Doug and Sharon from Outdoor Building Concepts were very friendly and extremely professional. We talked with several different contractors but settled on OBC because they took the time to thoroughly discuss and plan out the deck we wanted. They were willing to design and price out several different plans, and worked with us to reach the final design that we loved. Pricing was very reasonable for what we wanted to have built. There were several delays during the construction, but these were mostly due to the weather and lumber supplier and were beyond OBC's control. Overall the quality of their work was great, communication was top notch, interactions were very professional, and the job was completed in a reasonable time frame. I would definitely recommend them.

The quality of the work is excellent. They cleaned up well, and left no trace of their presence. It took awhile to get on their schedule, but once there I was very pleased with the experience. I would use them again.

You couldn't possibly ask for friendlier, more courteous professionals. Always prompt and VERY active at listening to what clients are saying they want and need for their home improvement projects.

Doug and Sharon have always been extremely quick to respond to our needs and work within our time frames. They are very flexible and are able to work within our budget while helping us keep the end "goal" in mind. We have 3 small boys and Doug has been great about making suggestions that prioritize safety for our family. The work has always been performed as promised and on time. We have been especially impressed with the woodwork that he has done. We have used this company several times and we plan to keep doing so as we continue to make improvements.

It was always a very happy experience with everything I have asked them to do. They started promptly and finished in great time and I get great joy going out to the barn every morning.

Great. Doug and Sharon are great to work with. They are very responsive, detail oriented and helpful. We started with some kitchen renovation and kept returning to them for additional projects. I recommend them to others without any hesitation.
