MOUNTAINS WEST CONSTRUCTION

We needed our deck's boards and stairs replaced. The job got delayed for a while due to COVID but Randy stayed in touch via email the whole time, and it was completely worth the wait. The new deck surface (we got composite to withstand the weather) looks amazing, the stairs + stringers are sturdier than ever, and the gate matches the deck railing perfectly and works so smoothly. The project was done with no issues in the timeframe he gave us and at the estimated cost, and he left the whole area underneath the deck itself cleaner and neater than it had been before he came! We'll probably not be needing work on it for years, but I will definitely be calling again if/when we do!!

The project went extremely well. My rotting back deck was failing down to the support beams. When Randy did the demo we learned the wall of the house had not been properly protected. He installed a protective layer to the house along with new headers and flashing. He poured new footings for the support beams, as well as created retaining walls where necessary to contain the slope. He installed new joists and composite deck boards complete with hidden screw heads. His professional expertise of decking, footings, joists and beams not to mention his +20 years' experience with decks on slopes was invaluable. Laying the base foundation is critical to the success of the integrity of this deck, I was especially impressed with his knowledge and expertise of foundation work on slopes. I would highly recommend Randy and Mountains West Construction. As a side note, I love my custom BBQ cabinet he built specifically for the space I had available for the grill. I appreciated his collaborative approach to creating the grilling space, making sure I got the result I was looking for. Overall a great deck space to hang out and grill.

All phases of the deck(s) are now complete and I couldn't be happier with the results. The first thing I'd like to mention is that two other bids I received were 'no-bid', and another one was $10K higher than the MWC bid. MWC / Randy stepped up and got it done. This third phase of the project was a complicated one. A 22' long , second story support beam replacement, with additional 4" x 10" support posts for the cantilevered corners of a second story concrete and slate deck. Randy managed to raise it without cracking it, remove the rotting beam and replace it with a new one, now resting on the new support posts. The new deck is safer, better looking and will last another 50+ years. Leveling the 2nd story deck of a +50 yr old home is a challenge in itself and after taking the time to discuss options and compromises with me, Randy took the time to get it as level as possible still planning for rain-runoff. Overall, the smallest details are what made all the difference; the added safety of additional structural support, the overall style of the railings matching the style of the house even better than the original railing, the perfectly mitered corners, the side fasteners for the deck boards (to prevent water pooling in the future around top-set floor board screws), to filling the railing nail holes prior to painting contribute to a beautiful finished product. The decks look even better than originally anticipated. Yes, I would highly recommend Randy Parker of Mountains West Construction, and yes, I will be hiring him again.

Randy Parker of Mountains West Construction earned every ounce of the 5 star / A+ rating. My project was a complicated design/build deck replacement including unexpected dry-rot. He presented a bid for the scope of the project, and prepared me for contingencies based on what his 15+ years experience told him to expect. He made a point to communicate with me during every step of the project, made appropriate changes as unknown complications (the dry rot was invasive) presented themselves and went out of his way to construct it right rather than the way it was done by the original builder. I can't recommend him highly enough. As of today, we have completed 2 phases of a 3 phase deck project. I am pleased with his quality workmanship and the added curb appeal of his suggestions. He showed up on time, kept me apprised of his schedule, and consistently did what he said he would do. I've already got my 2019 project list on his radar!

Randy provide a quick quote and showed up on time and does work I am proud to my friends.
