Because of the extensive rain we had in May/June, the project got start a couple of weeks later then originally planned. They sent out a two man team who worked the entire project from start to finish. They started immediately layout everything with stakes, string and paint. They had us come out and inspect the intended layout and confirm the scope of the project. We actually tweaked the angles and layout slightly at this point based on their suggestions for look and traffic flow. They had some great ideas. We signed off on the changes and they started digging the footers. The deck was big so lots of footers had to be dug. They then framed up the overall shape and got the posts ready to go as soon as the 1st of three inspections had to be done. Inspection was done and work continued. Footers were poured and cured, Framing filled in and stairs located, positioned and installed. Every morning I'd check in before work and asked about the plan of they day. They would review the days plan and let me know how the timeline was going. Every night when I got home I'd inspect the work and everything was done as per plan with quality materials, appropriate fasteners and as per code. The project took a few weeks. This was actually really good time considering the multi levels, complexed angles and many rain days. Before heading home at night and for weekends, they always had the work site orderly, clean and secured for safety. It was extremely hot during the project and over the few weeks some of the boards warped, and others split. Not many, but enough to notice. Without ever saying anything, the guys would replace very thing that went wonky and continue on completing the project. The night before completion and after the final county inspection, I noticed a few areas where nails or screws where not quite right and the wood had checked. I wrote up a punch list to review the next day during the final walk thru. When they were ready for the walk thru, every single item on my punch list was already noticed and corrected before I could say anything. They also went above and beyond by replacing the old wood "drink rail" that was all warped on the fence surrounding the pool and enclosing the deck with a trex drink raid to match the work they did on the new deck itself. It made everything tie in and that the entire back yard look like it was always intended that way. I can not say enough good things about this team and they did the job as close to schedule as weather allowed, on budget and beyond my initial expectations. After seeing the end result, I'm not sure it would have look nearly as good even if I did it myself. I was really impressed with the quality of the work.
