Shaun is a skilled craftsman who takes great pride in his work.. After removing the old wood decking it was apparent there was significant dry rot. Shaun had to sister in six support stringer extensions where dry rot was removed. He needed to add more stringers required for composite decking. We were expanding the surface area of the deck, three additional support beams were required. Because the property has a steep grade insuring the deck was totally level was a challenge. Shaun has an amazing ability to visualize the needed changes and design structural support to correct any deficiencies in the previous design. He custom cut additional supports to prevent any bounce in the deck floor. Shaun is an excellent communicator. He explained what was needed and kept us informed throughout the entire project. He is a true professional. He showed up on time every day and work diligently throughout the day. At the end of the day he cleaned the area, stacked his tools and covered them to protect against the weather. I would highly recommend Shaun. Two of my neighbors dropped by periodically to observe the project as it progressed. Both are going to hire Shaun to repair their decks. In short, Shaun is a dedicated and skilled craftsman who takes great pride in his work. He is a great communicator and if he showed up in a business suit you would think he was a stock broker, attorney or CEO of a large company. A true professional!!!

We love the results. It took longer than expected, but the end result is beautiful.

"Thank you so much for your business! We appreciate your review! While we are not always the cheapest bid, we put out some of the best product. I think Bob said it best when he commented that he could tell by our attention to detail why we were a little more than the other guy. We had many challenges to overcome such as an exisiting cedar porch to transition into, a unique existing custom handrail we had to replicate, existing paver patio elevation, to exterior detail deck lighting that was designed for a brick and masonary install versus deck step lighting. I apologize for the additional time required. But in the end we always take the necessary time to put out the best possible product we can, Thank you so much! We look forward in working with you again in the future."

It went very well. They arrived at the time scheduled and quickly removed the old door, taking it away for us. They installed the new door, paying attention to detail to get it all right.

I've had Shaun work on a few of my projects from 2011 to 2014. He shows up when he says he will; he describes the process of his work and gives options; his estimates are fairly close; he does good work; no markup on materials. His prices are likely more than rock bottom contractors but it's one of those "you get what you pay for" situations. I'm not sure what more you'd want from a contractor. I've moved from town and can't use him anymore.

First, he was very patient when I had to do a backup-regroup after his initial bid. I redesigned the project. He came back out a 2nd time and gave me 2 options - one as a flat rate and one as an hourly quote. I chose the hourly quote and the work came in $1200 lower than the quote.
At the time of the bid he was not able to tell me when he could start the job. He ended up starting the project only 2 weeks after I accepted his bid. And he completed the project in less than 4 days. He does high quality work and he does it efficiently.

We contacted 4 contractors to bid the job, Dietz was quick to come out to bid (within a day or two of initial phone call). After receiving all bids, we felt confident choosing Dietz because the price was reasonable and he seemed knowledgeable and professional. They were able to start work Tuesday of the following week and finished within 2 days. We are very happy with the quality of the work provided. Not only was the work good, it came in under bid! We would definitely use Dietz Home Improvements again.

Perfect, they did exactly what they said they would do and when they said they would do it.

Dietz Home Improvements worked quickly, neatly, and professionally during this 2-week project. Even though the project included demolition and breaking up concrete, they made extra effort to limit the construction noise as much as possible. They were conscientious about putting up protective barriers to keep debris from hitting the windows, and they cleaned up the area at the end of each construction day. They took extra effort with the demo to avoid damage to the main house and replaced trim and siding in the few spots where it was needed. They built a new composite deck with a picture frame edge and seamless fascia boards using hidden fasteners. There is a slight slope on the deck to allow water to run off into our patio drains and, after several inches of rain, we have had no puddles, pooling, or any other standing water on the deck. We are extremely happy with the final results and will hire Shaun Dietz and his crew for future construction projects.

Dietz Home Improvements was responsive and professional from the very beginning. They promptly responded to my initial inquiry for an estimate, and their communication while the work was being performed was excellent. Once the walls of the house were opened up, we found a few other unforeseen and quot;surprisesand quot; which turned a 1-day job into a 4-day job, and they worked extra hours to finish before the next rain storm. Their rates were very reasonable for labor and materials, and we will not hesitate to hire them for future jobs of this type.

When, last Spring, we developed a leak around the window in our atrium, we called Dietz Home Improvements. Shaun was at our door early the next day and was able to seal the window area (temporarily). We decided to wait for dry weather to complete the repairs. Flashing forward to August - We met, discussed and ordered materials, and set a time frame for the work. Well . . . Shaun and company arrived - My wife, and I (and our dogs) departed (for the beach) - and work commenced.
Upon our return we found all the work beautifully done - on time - within budget and without drama ... just like always. This is why I use Dietz Home Improvements.
The bottom line is this: Shaun Dietz is conscientious, highly skilled, honest and reliable. He and his people work hard and smart and do an incredible job - This is why they are my main and quot;go toand quot; guys for any home project or repair.

"Thank you so much for the review. A side note is that the silicone I used in your shower has failed because I more than likely trapped water behind it. I will be there first thing this morning to correct the issue. Thanks again!"

Dietz Home Improvements is our go-to company for anything that we want done around the house. This is the 3rd time that Shaun has done work for us, and we're already talking about having him back. He is amazing in that he takes our ideas and brings them to life. He is prompt, always arriving by 7am, when other contractors don't start until 9 or later. He also ALWAYS cleans up after himself daily, which is refreshing. He is so trustworthy that we have NEVER hesitated to give him a key so that we don't have to hang around all day. We give him an A+!

Awesome! We had used Shaun in the past to work on the decks in our home as well as repair some sliding pocket doors which had fallen off their tracks, and hang some other interior doors. Shaun is professional, punctual and friendly. His prices are fair and presented in writing before any work is done, so there are no and quot;surprisesand quot;. I will definitely use his services again and would recommend him without hesitation.

Shaun and his crew met our every expectation. They were flexible in collaborating between the work my husband wanted to do on the deck and that which they completed; they paid attention to detail and their craftsmanship was representative of their pride in their work. Shaun and crew completed our deck in a timely manner and were thorough in their clean-up after the job was done. They were pleasant and professional in every aspect. We would recommend their service to anyone.

I had Shaun and two other companies come out to bid on the covered deck. Shaun's estimate was right in the middle. One of the others came from a much larger company, who had the highest bid, but the aggressive sales pitch turned me off. I trust my gut a lot and Shaun gave off a good vibe and of course had solid reviews here.
The funny thing is, when I started calling around I was under some naive impression that what I wanted would probably run me about 4K tops. My jaw dropped when the estimates came in from 6500 to close to 9K, but after seeing the materials and the work that Shaun and one of the guys who works for him, John, were doing, I feel like it was money well spent.
We talked about ideaw and options and decided to go with a SunTuf patio cover. From what I've read online, and what Shaun later confirmed, is that they can be a bit tricky at times. Too much pressure when screwing down and they crack..not enough and they leak and that's unfortunately what happened the first time around. When I told Shaun he was as concerned as I was, he came back out and tightened the screws. The thing still leaked, so Shaun came out again and re-did the whole roof this time overlapping the SunTuf sheets a bit more. This seems to have done the trick, as we just had a downpour and I noticed no leaks.
The thing is, Shaun is a craftsman and not only wants his customers happy, but takes personal pride in his work. He wasn't going to be satisfied himself until it was done right. He told me...you will have a roof that doesn't leak, even if I have to take the whole thing off and and rebuild you a shingled roof. Which would have cost more, but he said he would have ate the expense. Thankfully, it seems to be a moot point now.
I love the look of the deck and cover. He took the time to wrap all the posts in cedar and it really came out sharp looking.
Another thing, I work from home so I was here during the construction, which took about 7 days. These guys bust thier hump ...in both pouring rain and 90 degree weather, which we had both of while construction was going on. They were super easy to deal with, cleaned up the work-site at days end, answered all my questions and concerns and over all just really did a good job.
I'll post some pics after we get it stained, but again...I'm super happy with the job. Shaun will be my first call guy when I need stuff done that's too big for me to handle myself. Thumbs up all the way. Thanks, Shaun!

Nice guy but low quality work. When I pointed out a nail sticking out of a board, he told me how I could set it myself.. Thought that is what I paid him to do. I also had to remove a couple boards and redo them.
Response from DIETZ HOME IMPROVEMENTS
"Wow.... not sure how to respond other than truthfully. This customer complained that the dust from my saw was too messy and to move away from her house. Mind you it was raining and I was using her carport. So I set my saw up away from her house IN THE RAIN so as not to get dust near her home. She pointed out a nail head which i countersunk and then reminded her that the bid was for installation of trim only. Not filling nail holes and or prepping for paint. She said her husband was doing that. Furthermore as you can see by my 30 plus "A" ratings on here, quality is my main goal. If at anytime you felt my work was substandard you should have told me. I would have made sure everything was up to your standard before I left. Out of the hundred or so customers I work for every year it is inevitable that you can't please everyone. This is unfortunate but a simple fact of life. Thank you for your business and your review. I will use it as a learning experience to better deal with my more difficult to please customers."

Absolutely great people to work with. Very good at any task that I asked them to do from replacing sliding doors to refinishing a bathroom.
The house was a disaster when I bought it but is now working its way to quite nice and liveable thanks to Shaun and John.
Worth every penny and more.

He was just good all around. He was serious, respectful, cleaned up after himself and if something needed to be changed, he changed it. The price was fair and we got what we paid for. He did good work and good work sometimes costs.

We had Shaun rebuild a small deck. He replaced the joists and installed a new deck surface in two days as planned. He installed the Veranda composite deck boards we purchased at Home Depot. It is a hidden fastener type product and Shaun did a great job. We used him for a second small project to replace a dozen fence posts, fence gate, and fence trim. Again, Shaun and his crew did exactly as asked/promised. The thing we liked best - he does what he says he will do! Shows up as scheduled for site visit and provided a bid in a day or two. Then they showed up as scheduled for the work and they get it done. He is honest and does solid work that exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend him for your next project. Thanks Shaun!

After having our heating vents cleaned and having a dryer vent diagnosed as having a leak, Shaun Dietz--who has done several other jobs for us--came and we decided that in addition to fixing the dryer vent, he would also replace some sheet rock that had some water damage. The next day he came with his helper and within a short period of time they had moved the washer and dryer, removed the old sheet rock, rerouted the dryer vent and put up new sheet rock. By the time they were done, it was like new, nicely cleaned and ready to go. A big thanks to the professional way they always work.
