Barefoot Decks Inc

I left Barefoot Decks a message and did not get a return call. Called again and got a hold of I believe the man's name was John. We talked and he had me send a picture of my deck. He said he would talk to someone about the work I wanted done and would call me back....haven't heard back from him. I don't understand this type of behavior....if one is too busy to take on another job or isn't interested in the job that one wants done then just say so and both parties can move on. I've read some other reviews and it sounds like they do good work but this type of apathetic customer service isn't cool. Sorry to have to give them an "F" but that's the good thing about Angie's List....you get to hear from real people and their experiences with the companies listed on the site.

Barefoot decks created a gorgeous backyard deck for our house. They replaced a small wooden deck and replaced it with a composite deck almost three times the size. John worked with us to establish the design, discuss the best option for materials, provide samples and models, and create a quick estimate. We had quotes from three companies and Barefoot’s price was highly competitive. John took care of everything from getting permit from the town, delivering the materials, getting the work started, and arranging the final inspection. Shawn, his builder, was timely, reliable, friendly and produced a super high-quality deck. They estimated two weeks from start to finish and they were right on target. Thank you, John and Shawn!

This went very well. I am a structural engineer, so I was paying special attention to the stability that this 700 sq foot deck would have. We had previous experiences with other deck companies that could not deliver the designs that they promised (or their references would not check out). John, Randy, and Joey with Barefoot Decks changed all of this. The availability of using helical piers put my mind at ease with regards to soil conditions. Barefoot Decks involved us along the way with all decision making that needed clarification. Their work was spot on. Weather permitting, they arrived every day ready to work and with fantastic attitudes of making this a success. We had other work being done too: Gas line, hot tub install, window well cover, and electrical. They coordinated with these other contractors as needed. Success it is. Our deck is gorgeous. Our project was so much a winner, that we instantly booked them for a follow-on project: Putting on a solid-roof deck cover over some of the area that bakes in the Southern exposure. This project was extensive as we needed the roof to tie in to our existing roof. We wanted skylights, properly flashed, to be added. Our gutters needed some re-routing. As my previous experience with them told me, all of this was no problem for them. It all went smoothly. We had several bids that would have cost less, but with that, our costs would have skyrocketed as we would have to pay someone else to fix issues that would have come up. We are sure the quality would have suffered if we had gone with the others. We highly recommend Barefoot Decks.

Jeremy did an amazing job and John was very nice and helpful. Snow delayed them a few times, but the finished product looks great. Couldn't be happier. If you're getting a deck, it may be awhile for them to get to you but it's worth it.

They installed our back deck and pergola. They built the deck around our window well and used the grate that we had on the window well as part of the deck so that we would still get light into our basement. I can't say enough good about this company. Their work was professional, quick and beautiful. We love it!!! We would definitely hire this company again.

Outstanding workmanship. Very happy.

They were a little high but they didn't do the full scope of work for me so I ended up hiring a different contractor. My overall experience was very, very positive. We wanted some patio covers done too and he didn't do that kind of work, but he was really upfront about it.

John and his crew were excellent to work with. They removed the existing second story scary deck and installed a very well constructed deck with stairs and beautiful railings. The new deck looks fabulous and it is a pleasure to enjoy outdoor life on it. Part of the construction included a new back yard fence which also looks fabulous and is a great addition to our outdoor living as well. Barefoot Decks is a great company with the best people to work with and if I have future deck or fencing projects I will hire them. If you are having a deck built in the Denver Metro area I highly recommend Barefoot Decks!

We are very please with our Deck. It is a fantastic addition to our home. John & his team were really great. They were on time every day. Same time, like clockwork! Randy was the lead, & he is a great guy; gets to work immediately. He even showed up on a holiday just to clear snow off the deck for the next business day continuation of the build. We were comfortable with everyone that came to our house, from the beginning to the end, from Demolition of the old deck to the final product. They always did a really great job cleaning up after themselves. Total respect for our property. I looked over the work every day they were at our home, & not once did I ever find anything strange in terms of how they put the deck together. For example, they never left a soda bottle or any other thing that didn’t belong on the job site. Unlike my basement contractor, I didn’t have to ask them to re-cut, or square off anything. It's real quality work. Unfortunately, they only do Decks, because at the end of the project I wanted them to do the Kitchen next. They did leave a trailer out in front of the house, but the trailer is new, & is wrapped in a few pictures of great looking, brand new Decks. It was cool to have out front, & I never had to answer any questions from neighbors because they could see from pictures on the trailer what was going out back. The price was slightly above other estimates, but at the end of the project I had not one issue with writing John his check. From start to finish we could see every day the value we were getting. You get what you pay for. Lastly, John came out to the house 4 different times before we ever gave him a deposit, to help us finalize the look we wanted. FYI, materials arrive first, & then you give him a deposit. He brought sample materials & produced a great computer mock up of what the final would look like. Could be happier.

John, Randy and his team were extremely professional and did wonderful work. Their estimated construction time was spot on and they even came early to shore up the old and and quot;unstableand quot; deck before we were scheduled. We highly recommend them to anyone needing a new deck.

John, Randy and the team built our roughly 600 sq ft multilevel deck. The top deck (10X12) was 21 feet from the ground, the lower deck (10X47) approximately 10 feet from the ground. All of this stands over our walk out basement. In the design, when planning the piers, John took care to clear the lower windows to maximize basement views. John helped me with the City permit approval, plenty of my time saved on this. We used white cedar and redwood for the structure, Timbertech Tiger-wood for the surfaces, and Fortress balusters. They also used a newly invented post strengthening straps for the railing, which prevents post lean out over time. The team estimated 4 weeks for construction, and were done in 4 weeks. Once we settled on a plan and scope of work, the quote did not change, there were no surprises. I would highly recommend BareFoot decks to anyone looking to do a deck project.

Barefoot was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. John was great explaining what needed to be done to the deck and what our options were, and gave us a detailed quote. He was very communicative with scheduling and keeping me posted.The crew was fantastic, very professional and really thorough, they were precise and efficient. They completed tear-down and rebuilding in 5 days, even in the heat and rain.The finished project is gorgeous, it was even better than we expected. My brother was a contractor and he gave it the thumbs up that it was well-built and he noticed several ways they went above and beyond. The permit inspector was also impressed, he said they did a great job.A fantastic company - our new deck will last a long time so I don't expect to need them again anytime soon - but I highly recommend them to anyone who needs work done on their deck.

John (owner) came out went overr with us our and quot;must havesand quot; and gave us a very competitive bid. With in a couple of days he had emailed us the proposal and drawings (including a CAD 3-d one). We had some questions to which he came right back out and laid our concerns to rest. He informed us about a week and a half before the crew was to start and let us know when the locate service would be out. The crew started on the day they said they would. They brought out two trailers one for waste and one that contained thier tools. The crew was very polite and answered any questions I had. They brought the right amount of workers for what they were doing that day. They have the correct tools and they always protected the areas around what they were working on. They worked in sub freezing temps and just kept working. The entire job was estimated to take a week and a half (to allow for weather) but they finished in 5 days, just awesome.John was GREAT to work with. I saw him everyday and we went over what they did that day and what they were going to do the next day. We had 2 hiccups that were totally not the fault of the crew. John called me immediantly each time and asked how I wanted them to proceed (one was a comcast cable line that was miss marked) he promplty had the locate company back out and had Comcast out the next day. The Foreman, Randy, even went way above and beyond as he helped me splice the line so we could have internet and cable that night. John emailed me every step of the way as well as phone calls and our daily meetings and I felt totally informed throughout the procedure.Having a new deck done and the old one removed was a little nerve racking but looking back I would do it again in a split second. This was a totally painless experiance.

We couldn't be more happy with the entire process of working with Barefoot Decks. John Oltrogge started the process in a most professional and positive manner. Prior to meeting with John we had 6 other companies out for estimates and never felt good about the intended design that we envisioned and they proposed, the materials they suggested, or their ability to translate what we discussed into a viable plan for rebuilding our two level deck. Our project was complex because of the challenging landscape, elevation, mature trees and outdated construction materials (concrete and railroad ties). John is a calm and professional individual who proved extremely easy to work with to the very end of our project. Our project involve the removal of a 25 year old redwood deck, concrete pad, railroad ties, some landscaping to improve drainage under the decking area. All of that was handled in a timely and efficient manner allowing for the construction of a new Timbertech deck. The deck they built for us was nearly 700 square feet spread out over two distinct levels. Randy served as John's foreman and main construction carpenter and ran his crew in a superb fashion. Randy showed up promptly every day at 8 AM and would often work into the dark of the evening. We couldn't believe they were outside working with headlamps to finish a particular segment of the project before starting something new the next day. We were impressed with the attention to detail (accurately measuring, leveling, cutting, etc) that was exhibited at every step of the project. Every member of the crew was attentive to their responsibilities during the entire project. If we needed something added or revised, they didn't blink and eye, but started to work on a solution immediately. They cleaned up their workspace at the end of each day through the entire two and a half week project. Our lawn and impacted construction areas were raked, cleaned and new deck power washed before they departed our property for the last time. The results were simply wonderful and we couldn't be more happy with our finished project.

awesome! they were great to work with, and it turned out beautiful!

Out of 5 contractors contacted for an estimate only 3 came back and Barefoot Decks was the best in terms of quality and timing. pricing was competitive. John and his crew exceeded our expectations and literally blew up his competitors. We have only good things to say about Barefoot Decks. John was always very quick to get back to us when we had questions. His crew was professional and polite. They kept the work area very organized during the entire project. The work started and finished as promised and the quality was really good. We are very pleased with our new deck. I would definitely use Barefoot Decks again and recommend them strongly.

Remove old deck dealing with our April snow events. We are very pleased with the quality and the professionalism of the installation crew. They were very good with details, caring of our yard and the cleanup was excellent. The deck was built as specified in John O's estimate and to the design he had drawn. I would recommend John and his team lead by Randy. Randy is the master builder and John provides a great price and design. Don S.

Despite poor weather, John and his crew started working on our deck the day they promised and had it done on schedule at the price quoted. Their expertise and experience were invaluable as they began to tear out the old deck and had to find solutions to address a number of structural and otherwise challenging issues. The result was a far superior and much safer deck than we had previously. The new deck is beautiful, structurally sound and done with excellent workmanship. Overall, Barefoot Decks has been an incredibly positive experience. We were consistently pleased with the regular communications, timeliness, professionalism, responsiveness and hard work of the team. We are thrilled with the new deck and would not hesitate to recommend them for any decking project.

After contacting John of Barefoot Decks, he promptly came and gave us several choices, providing an estimate for each choice. At John's recommendation, we then went to the Deck Superstore in Commerce City to look over the various options. We chose a castle grey Fiberon Horizons deck with a Timbertech express rail system in white. We were very impressed with John and his crew. They were punctual, responsible, careful, and thorough. They ripped off the old rotting deck and installed the new one within a week, cleaning up beautifully. We are extremely pleased with the results. John was responsive to all our concerns and he was a pleasure to work with throughout. He knows his stuff and is genuinely concerned that you are completely satisfied with the final product. We certainly are. I highly recommend him. You won't be disappointed.

Let me start by saying if it were possible to give John and his crew an A++ for their professionalism, workmanship and responsiveness, I would. I am a very detail-oriented person, with high expectations and could not be more pleased with my experience with Barefoot Decking. John was very responsive to our inquiries about his company. We received a 3D, photo rendered proposal within a few days of our initial contact. John worked with us to find composite decking materials that we liked; he helped us to meet our price point; and was available to answer questions every step of the way. John and his crew were punctual, friendly, and professional. Randy, the lead on our project, was meticulous in his workmanship. The crew arrived early and stayed until the sun went down. John stopped by several times per day to check on his crew. They did a good job cleaning up the yard and when we had a concern about the balister spacing, John came back to address our concern himself. I couldn't ask for more. It was an excellent experience and exceeded all of my expectations. I will absolutely use Barefoot Decking again. Thank you so much John, Randy and Toby!

EXCELLANT!!!! See above details.

I was very picky about the material I wanted to use for the deck and John worked very hard to make my dream deck a reality. I have had numerous compliments - even from other contractors. The deck is absolutely beautiful and I am very happy with the results.

From the first bid to completion, they were outstanding

They were great from start to finish. John was great in understanding what we wanted and flexible about a starting date and then when we decided on the date-he stuck to it. Randy and Toby were on time and professional. The deck looks great. Thanks for a job well done!

They were recommended by Angie’s list. I was very happy with them. I was delighted and they did a wonderful job. They did what they said they were going to do. They were efficient, prompt and thorough.
