Exterior Works

We recently had Exterior Works remove our old wooden deck and replace it with a slightly larger Trex deck. Arafat Shadid, the company owner, and his team did an excellent job for us. They showed up when they said they would, worked very diligently over the course of a week and finished when they said they would. All required county permits were pulled and they helped with our HOA paperwork by ensuring we had the correct County plat document. They were the best price of the three estimates we received and actually finished the job for slightly less than their estimate. Arafat ensured we discussed exactly how we wanted the deck to look and was always available if I had a question. I would definitely consider hiring them if you need a new deck.

From the start Exterior Works and Arafat were amazing. Great communication, amazing prices, exceptional quality of work. Arafat and his crew met all my expectations and then some. Best experience Iâ ve ever had working with a contractor on any project. I highly recommend Arafat and Exterior Works for any of your projects.

I had the best experience with Arafat Shadid and Exterior Works! I was recommended by my Real Estate agent to this company, and I am so glad I called. I had already completed 5 estimates via facebook recommendations, google searches, etc. and i did not find anyone that I felt was giving me the value and service I would expect for this type of project until I met Arafat. The the day he came to meet me for an estimate we hit it off! He was so knowledgeable, polite, punctual, and safe (covid) that i felt instantly comfortable. His estimate was the most reasonable for what I wanted done and he was upfront about what was NEEDED and what I could choose to add or subtract. Then he spent another 30 minutes or more going over every color option, detail for railing type, roofing options, etc. From the moment I reviewed his detailed written estimate I knew I was going to pick them. Then it came time to actually tear down the old deck and start the new project. Arafat and his team showed every day before 7am and worked their tails off! They are no nonsense hard working people. They got the project done 7 days earlier than expected, even with the all rain we had this past summer. I must note that my project was a tear down, expanded new trex deck and screen in porch build, so it was a big job! To finish 7 days early and totally on budget, I was elated! Arafat even came back out when I had a small leak in the porch roof about a week later. It took him hours to figure out the issue, but never gave up. Then he identified it was a preexisting siding issue, so I was concerned I needed to find a siding company but he fix it for us anyway! Talk about service above and beyond! We love our new space and Exterior Works made it all happen. I cannot stress enough the quality of work you will get with this company if you choose them for your project!

We definitely recommend Exterior Works! Mr. Shadid is a very hands-on owner from working with us on the design of our new deck, to submission of the application to our HOA, to obtaining the county building permit, and actually constructing and supervising the deck with his his own crew. Mr. Shadid is very knowledgeable, honest, friendly, customer-oriented, professional, prompt, and his workmanship is superb. Exterior Works built our new Trex deck in only 1-week (start to finish once the permit was obtained) and for less than what other contractors had quoted. The result is a beautiful deck that we absolutely love! Mr. Shadid is busy from excellent work, his honesty, his professionalism, very reasonable pricing, and word of mouth from lots of satisfied customers (including us); not from advertising. Other contractors had estimated it would have taken them 4 to 5 weeks to complete the work and tries to "nickel and dime" us for everything in their quotes and depend on glossy advertisements. Exterior Works (Mr. Arafat Shadid) is awesome! We are so glad that we found him and chose him build our deck for us.

The estimate was lower than others, but the work is exceptional. He knew what the builder's codes were (unlike one other one) and designed it to our desires. He even helped us out by moving our grill up. The deck looks GREAT.

Mr. Shadid was wonderful to work with. He responded promptly to all questions. He handled the permit application efficiently. He is very proactive and that results in a project that goes smoothly with no surprises or delays. In addition to putting a new deck on my house, Mr. Shadid also replaced my dilapidated fence. Both deck and fence are exactly what I wanted and more (he improved on my fence to let the gate swing outward so that it no longer interferes with the mulch in my backyard). I highly recommend Exterior Works.

Exterior Works is highly professional. The estimate was fair and the work was performed in a timely manner. Mr. Shadid and his team paid attention to my problem areas and fully addressed my concerns. My new deck is strong, sturdy and built to last. Great work!

Mr. Shadid and his crew built us a wonderful deck! We couldn't be more pleased. Mr Shadid was professional, articulate, responsive, and punctual. He gave us exactly what we wanted (plus more), and his work was impeccable. We have hired other companies to do home improvements in the past and none compare. Also, his cost was lower than any of the other contractors we contacted. Our family and friends are as impressed as we are by such a job well done. We would highly recommend Mr. Shadid and his team.

Mr. Arafat Shadid and his professional team built me my dream deck with efficiency, precision and complete attention to detail! I have researched for month trying to find the best contractor to build my deck and I have spoken and gotten quotes from at least 8 professionals & companies no one came even close to beating Mr. Arafat���s price, time, professionalism and above all the peace of mind and comfort of his lifetime warranty on his works. Extremely polite individual that is punctual and stays & work with his crew until project completion so everything flows flawlessly. Simply the best deck builder around!!! Highly recommend. Regards, Tony & Family

Exterior Works has our strongest recommendation as fair & efficient professional deck builders. From the first phone call through the completion of our deck, Mr. Arafat Shadid was extremely responsive to our questions and needs while leading a crew that wasn't just amazingly rapid but also master craftsmen. He and his crew exceeded our highest expectations by building our beautiful second floor townhouse deck not only for $1400 less than another company quoted us but by completing the 5-day build in 1 �� days. It was a pleasure dealing with him and his crew.

Arafat Shadid and his staff are professionals, working together on construction projects for over 10 years. On one hot, humid day of the project building a deck, the team labored constantly for 12 hours, providing quality service with a smile. Arafat is quite knowledgeable, providing expert advise and information on the project as well as future work such as deck staining that must be done in the future. He provides quality work and a reasonable price. I sense he has a positive work ethic and goes out of his way to support his team members.

Mr. Arafat Shadid and his crew built a stunning deck. He was polite, attentive, punctual, communicative, responsive, and professional. He managed the project with superb precision and attention, and worked hand in hand with his crew. He finished the project 2 days earlier than projected. I couldn't have asked for a better home improvement experience! Thank you Mr. Shadid for the wonderful workmanship and the minute details you took care of. You exceeded my expectations!

Excellent work! Thank you!!!

I couldn�t be happier. Mr. Arafat Shadid was working hard along with his crews from start to finish building our deck. He went above and beyond my expectation. He is one of those detail-oriented individuals who are able to accomplish the work as promised. I would recommend Exterior Works with the utmost respect and encouragement.

From the first meeting to project end, our contractor was very attentive and polite. He followed our wishes and work along side his crew to make sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. He built for us a 12'x17' low maintenance deck on the back of our Belmont Country Club home. We can see the golf fairway and green behind our house, but because of the mature trees, the golfers can barely see us. Friends stop by to see our new deck which was completed in just three beautiful Fall days. A couple of neighbors will be looking to install or replace decks with our guy, Arafat Shadid. Highly recommend!

I am extremely satisfied with Exterior Works performance, quality, candor, and professionalism. I had a tough job for them and they delivered it without a hitch. Additionally, for some reasons we had to make 3-4 major changes to our original plan and Mr. Arafat accepted them without any hesitation. He is an exceptional contractor to have. He advised me greatly in helping me decide the type of deck, material, and all the legal aspects to consider. I would recommend this company to anyone without a 2nd thought. Whoever hires them will know what I am talking about. I will definitely have them do some more jobs for me in the future. Thank you

Having Exterior Works design and build a deck, fence, and patio was a an absolute treat. From the beginning to end, Exterior Works was professional, timely, and beat the competition in price. It was such a relief to have Arafat take charge of the project, deal with the homeowner association, and complete the job on time. I would recommend Exterior Works to anyone looking for an stress free home exterior improvement project.

Arafat is the consumate professional! We were impressed with him from the first day when he came to our house for a quote to the day our deck was completed. Hire him!

Exterior Works did an excellent job of replacing our porch and steps using Azec material. THe job was completed in less than two days and looks great! Their price was competitive and the resulting work was well worth the value. Arafat was very friendly and customer oriented, would not even take a penny until the customer was happy and the job was totally finished! Highly recommended for deck, fence or porch work.

I strongly recommend Exterior Works to anyone looking to get decks and fences made. Mr. Arafat is a pleasure to work with and from start to finish the process was seamless. He is very polite and very thorough and detail oriented and able to address any questions you may have. His prices are very competitive and work is top notch. My wife and I are extremely happy with the final product. The deck was done much earlier then expected and the quality is superb. I look forward to doing business with Mr. Arafat in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Mr. Shadid and his crew did an exellent job on my deck. He was efficient, professional and very honest about the whole process. The design and quality of deck were excellent. I highly recommend him for building a deck without any hestitation.

Mr. Hadid is the best contractor that I have worked with. He is honest. He is polite. He is diligent and meticulous. His fees are reasonable. If I was to do 100 more decks, I would hire him to do all. Thanks. Dr. Yohannes Mariam

My wife and I have lived in our existing 45+ year old house for over 8 years. During this time we've worked with over a dozen contractors and interviewed/screened many more. We both agree that we have never had a contractor provide service as good as that which was provided by Exterior Works. Arafat was not only friendly, he and his team were also prompt, efficient, knowledgable and pro-active throughout the process - from estimate to completion. The deck they've built is amazing. After 8 years, we can not wait to finally be able to entertain friends and family with a deck that we're proud of. We highly reccomend Exterior Works.

What can you say about perfection, except that it is PERFECT! We highly recommend this contractor; he did a GREAT job. Our new deck and railing is beautiful. This company is very easy to work with. They show up when they say they will, go above and beyond what is expected, and do beautiful, professional work. 2 thumbs way up!

Professional !!! Excellent Work.
