Working with Distinctive Deck Designs was a tremendous experience. They took care of everything from design to permits, to required HOA approval material. Their crew was excellent and professional and I definitely recommend them for your outdoor deck design and build.

The whole project went much better then I thought it would. For the three face to face meetings I had with Mark he arrived before the scheduled time and was fully prepared for each meeting. The project took about 3 days and I was actually shocked at how nice it turned out. I would not hesitate to use Marks company in the future.

Mark did me a huge favor by taking on a small repair job of my Trex deck. The company that originally built the deck has gone out of business. I had already called about a dozen decking companies who either wouldn’t give me the time of day or who didn’t understand how the deck was assembled and passed. Mark immediately knew what to do and his team probably could have done the repair with their eyes closed, it was practically second nature to them. These guys clearly know Trex and even though I was probably the smallest job for the year they were friendly, professional, easy to work with, and treated me like a valued customer.

Mark and Distinctive Deck designs came recommended by a friend and for us this was a significant investment. Our deck was small and falling apart and after meeting with Mark he drew up plans for a beautiful new deck that is significantly larger. In addition, we tied the deck to a new stone paver patio running along the back of our home with a covered seating area. Given our home runs along the gas line, we have gotten lots of attention from neighbors praising the new additions. We cannot wait for it to warm up and put our new deck and patio to use. Throughout the process we found Mark's team to be professional, responsive and meticulous. Mark has put together a quality operation soup to nuts and I'd recommend them to others.

We received estimates from four companies that were highly rated on Angie's List and settled on Mark Shriner. We selected him because he was a local business, he had great references, and he had an incredible reputation, both on Angie's List and on "Best of the Best Television." We recommend visiting Mark's website at [*** Link removed ***] Mark arrived one Saturday morning and listened to our desires to replace our old deck and replace it with a Trex deck that would support a hot tub. Within days, Mark provided us with a DETAILED, line by line estimate. (Mark was the only one that provided this.) We received additional estimates and decided on Mark's company. We were originally scheduled for the March 2018 time frame, as his crews had previously scheduled work. In Jan 2018, Mark called, stating that he could start early because jobs ahead of us were delayed because or homeowner association issues. He stated that he could start "next week" if we had all our property owner's association clearances completed. We did! Mark's crew, led by David, took one day for demolition of the old deck, one day for framing and county inspections, and three days for laying the deck, installing the posts/rails/lights. David and his crew cleaned up the area each day, had their materials organized with minimal impact to the yard, and were very considerate to the other workmen that were on site, but outside of their contract; i.e., the crew that delivered a new hot tub and to our electrician who wired the hot tub. All county inspections went through without any issues. After the deck was completed, we had a few questions for Mark, and he answered all of them promptly--within hours. We look forward to spending many evenings on our new deck, knowing it was built right and passes all county inspections. We will hire Distinctive Deck Designs by Mark Shriner, to do other work with a fire pit and outdoor kitchen.

Work went very quickly. Each evening the work area was cleaned up and secured. We were extremely pleased with the results and two neighbors have now used Distinctive Decks after seeing their craftsmanship.

Fantastic. We love the new porch. We have lived in it all summer. The crew got it done quickly even though it rained almost every day.

The job was completed but was not exactly what we thought, but they worked with ut to give us what we wanted at no additional costs.  Quality throughout was excellent.  We needed to have been more detailed and specific on our requirements.
