Jon Anderson Builds

Description of Work: Demo-ed and replaced an exterior deck (approx 400 sq ft). Jon and his crew were simply outstanding in estimating, executing, cleaning-up aspects of this job. One is hard-put to assemble adequate adjectives to describe the quality of his work and the pleasure the whole family has experienced from his exceptional work and attitude. Bravo!

Description of Work: John Anderson Builds built a small patio deck (+-12x16) off the living room of my town home . I love the finished product and have had many positive comments from friends and family. | |The job went reasonably well, and the two young men who actually did the work were professional and courtesy. For such a small area, It was much more involved than I had realized as there had to be a tight framework built before the deck boards could actually go down due to the fact that I was using composite decking material rather than redwood. The framing took the better part of the first day, day two most of the deck went down, and day three was the finish work. When I went out to really inspect the deck, I discovered that one of the deck boards had been cut lengthwise, which was not ok because that left the core material exposed to the elements, and I feared problems down the line because of it. Unfortunately, this board was two or three boards out from the house, and when I asked the guys the reason for the half board, they said it was to allow sufficient space at the fence. I had requested that some space around the perimeter of the deck be left in order to accommodate future fence staining and house painting, but I did not specify a specific number of inches rather just left it in general terms. As a result, 99% of the deck had to be pulled up and redone. I know John was not happy about this, and I really can't blame him; however I just wasn't comfortable with a half board subject to potential failure that close to the house. A simple conversation/question asked would have eliminated that issue completely. Much to Johns credit, he was very gracious about it. John is not the best communicator and there was a goodly time delay between communications. My B rating is really for that reason and is really a B+ rating. Had the guys just asked if I was comfortable with a half board and John been more responsive, my rating would have been an A. Good communication between contractor (and the actual people doing the work) customer is critical and makes for a much more efficient, smooth end result. Everyday I smile when I look at the deck. A good decision and no regrets in hiring John Anderson Builds to do the job.
