Deon's Installations Deon Miller

Deon was extremely helpful to us in making a decision about which kind of flooring would work best for us. (Before we spoke to him, we were really confused.) We were pleasantly surprised that we could stay at home while the work was done. What we observed was a crew that worked quietly, quickly and efficiently. They had obviously installed floors several times before. Each person did his job and the only time we saw them talking with each other was on their lunch break. His crew members were polite and tried hard to stay out of our way while they worked. They made sure to clean up every night before they went home. Deon, the owner, was always on site. He insisted that the job be done perfectly---and it was. He was a stickler for details, which, as a homeowner, I really appreciated. (He repainted baseboards because some were a glossy white and some were matte. I couldn't tell the difference, but it was really important to him that everything match perfectly.) He even did a few extra things (i.e. putting door guides under our closet doors) which we never even requested. He is personable and trustworthy--We would never hesitate to leave him alone in our house. His price is fair, and his final cost was right in line with his estimate. He also correctly guessed exactly how much time he would need to finish the project. After seeing what a wonderful job he and his crew did, I want to hire him to do every project in our house. (He will be doing some tile work and some woodworking for us.) I'm convinced that he is as good at floorng installaton as it gets, and would strongly suggest that if you need your floors done, you put him at the top of your list.

We contracted Deon through recommendations from our real estate agent who had previously used Deon's services for his own home and some of his clients. Believe it or not we never met Deon until the final inspection of his company's work this past Saturday. We only communicated via emails and two phone calls. Deon recommended a local flooring company in Chandler (see Travis at Floor Depot) to purchase our laminate and to make sure all materials were manufactured in the USA. Deon's job included removing 1,000 sq. ft. of carpeting, prepping the underlayment and then installing the new laminate. The circular stairs going to the second level came out AWESOME. Deon used his years of experience to insure that the staircase would come out perfect and it did! In fact, the entire project came out beyond our expectations. I cannot recommend more highly Deon's Installations than my comments above state. We are so pleased with his workmanship and professional opinions to make sure that our retirement home flooring came out perfect. I plan on using his company on my two rental properties as well in the near future.

They were very professional and went beyond the job with attention to detail. They moved all appliances to install flooring to the wall. They aligned the closet and cabinet doors, They put a temporary patch of an outside water leak. They fixed an electrical short in a hall light. I can not praise their work enough.

The planning and execution was very professional and I am a perfectionist. Deon handled all the details including a great clean up and even special pads on the feet of all the furniture. He moved all the furniture out and then back in including a very heavy wall entertainment center. Great job. Independently, I selected a premier natural Hickory with center cuts and 7 inch wide pieces which were 4 to 8 feet in length. Deon only performed the installation although he can recommend vendors for the wood. It you want a very great job for your home, I would highly recommend Deon's flooring. The address below is my business address. The flooring was actually installed in my home in North Scottsdale. The nature of my business (forensic consulting) does not permit giving out my home address. Dr. Patrick Hannon

Did not want to provide service or recommend who would. Provider sent the following message: Hi , Mr. Bird. I am going to strongly suggest that you rethink, redo, and even remove your review from Angie,s list as it extremely unfair and unprofessional. I responded to you in a very professional and even apologetic manner that I do not do repairs other than with previous customers as this is an very common practice with professionals in almost all trades, and this practice is especially common with highly skilled craftsman such as myyself. It is obvious that you are frustrated with your initial decision to hire an inexpensive and in experienced installer, and probably not even on Angie,s list, as the problems with your floor indicates. Secondly you DID NOT ASK for any referral in your inquiry with me as you would see if you review it. Even if you had asked for a referral I do not give any as I simply refer people back to Angie,s list. I would greatly appreciate your cooperation with this matter as the service provider is allowed to publicly respond to your review and Has the last word and I would not leave you in good standing with Angie,s list. I can also petition to Angie,s list to have your review removed and they are very accommodating with highly rated companies like mine. Signed M. Deon Miller.

Deon?s installation is excellent. I shopped around and interviewed multiple sources, and for the work that was completed price was exceptionally fair. Deon and his staff were prompt, on time, and very professional. They did an excellent job prepping the concrete, putting down underlayment, and installing an engineered wood floor and new baseboards. I plan on using Deon to finish the floors for the rest of my house.

He was very courteous, professional and on time. I wouldn't hesitate to have him do another flooring project.

Great! Deon is the best and his team that works alongside him is as well. Professional, dependable, and will do what it takes to make you happy, but no pushover. We're anxious to use them again!

They did a good job. It was very good. They came back and fixed something that wasn't even their fault. I was real impressed the first time. They did a fine job the first time. It took a while for them to come back the second time because the guy had a bad back. It took him all day to do a little job. He was being paid by the complex and the insurance. The second time I would have rather had him wait and get someone that would get in and out. Overall he did well. I think it was a bad decision on his part the second time because of his bad back because he could hardly move. He did the work in September and came back in February or March to repair. It wasn't his fault but he came back to do the repair and he was paid. The work done was very good.

This is the second project I had Deon help me with, he is a true expert craftsman that really cares about the quality of work that he delivers.

Excellent excellent work from start to finish. Very personable and trustworthy in my opinion. I have a construction project management background and feel that this company s above the benchmark for quality workmanship. I highly reccomend them.

It could not have gone any better. Deon and his crew are skilled professionals. Each one knew exactly what to do and they worked together like a well-oiled machine. From the time I got Deon's bid until they completed the job, the outstanding communication from Deon was very welcome. They arrived on time, and got right to work. When they left, except for the beautiful new floor, they cleaned up so well you would have never known they were here. Deon is a fantastic carpenter and although I had some pretty odd angles for him to deal with, all his miter cuts are perfect. I'd hire this contractor again in a heartbeat. They do great work and they are great people.

Deon does absolutely fabulous work! He is professional, creative, reasonably priced, and great to work with. He can anything!

Deon's work is beautifully done with attention to detail. He has an assistant with the same work ethic which was refreshing. The work took a few days as it was a huge job, but was not an inconvenience to us whatsoever. At the end of each day, the work space and tools were put aside and the area kept clean. The price of the job was not outrageous as I did shop around. I felt his bid was competitive and more than fair. Whatever I paid was well worth it as everything is done beautifully!! I would recommend him without hesitation.

He did it super fast, and very professional job. Reasonable price. Would highly recommend them. They really did a good job.

I was very pleased with Leon's service. His crew arrived on time, and did an excellent job. They installed the wood laminate flooring (410 square feet) in my small condo's living and dining room. Delivery and carpet removal was also included in the above cost of service.

He wanted $1200.00 up front which was more than half of his bid. We asked for 3 references. I called them. They were all good, but for very expensive flooring jobs. I wish we had gone to meet the people and look at the jobs as well as ask how he treated them- like did they leave while he was working in their homes. Ah but hindsight is always better..... The first day Deon felt it necessary to tell us all about his medical conditions and hurting body parts. We did not understand why he felt this was necessary! Afther that first day, Deon quickly showed us that he did not feel comfortable with us being in our home while he worked in our home. We were not going to leave a stranger in our home!!!!! Besides we had no where to go. I am disabled and my husband is retired. We wanted to keep an eye on what was happening as is our right. We had a bad experience with another flooring company and didn't want it to happen again. However, we did not hover over Deon nor his worker. Through out a period of a couple of days, he refused to meet with us after the job to tell us what was happening the next day. Instead he left as quickly as possible. I would email him and he began taking anything I wrote in a negative way. For example, we have windows across the front of our living room and on the east side as well. He left the curtains open and blocked us from closing them with furniture, flooring and tools that were piled up in the way the first night. When I emailed Deon and mentioned that it made us feel exposed like goldfish in a bowl he took offense and said I was accusing him of being a bad contractor. Also he said we should be able to do something ourselves instead of whining about it to him. The relationship became worse as he became more abusive in tone and verbage online. He walked off the job 5-30-13 without any warning and without finishing the job. Then he threatened us with a mechanic's lein and told us he had a cease and desist order against us saying we were not to hire anyone else to finish the job until we paid him what he felt he was owed. We finally paid him $1.000 more and said good-bye. Besides the names he called us and complaining that we whined all the time he complained that our house was dusty and there was kitty hair on the floor behind a table and a dresser. (We have a cat-had three cats recently but lost 2). That's the only reason we know that he left because though we reached out to him asking him to come sit with us and explain what the problems where he refused. He does not know how to communicate with clients whether in a positive way or in a way that he is telling them what is happening the next day. There is a lot more that happened but I won't go into it all here. He left us in a bind with our flooring job not completed, the floors dirty, the carport where he last worked dirty, parts of flooring left out on the carport, laminate and trim stacked in the house in inconvenient places (he just put them there he didn't ask where was the best place to put them), and some problem areas that weren't done right that will have to be redone. The worker he had helping him, TJ, did most of the work and was quiet and respectful towards us. I would NOT recommend Deon Miller to do anything in your home. He comes off as nice then changes without reason.
