About us

As a result of over 4 decades of deck construction the jobs flow smoothly. My mission is to provide friendly, trustworthy service that people deserve. I get an additional reward at the end of the job when we're shaking hands and I know my customers are really happy with my workmanship, I can see it in their faces. I've also made friends. That good feeling we're left with is about more than just the project, it is what makes the job so worthwhile. I have recently moved to Port Charlotte FL. and will continue to apply my craft here and in surrounding areas.

It worked out excellent. They are very professional, knew what they were doing and their bid was lower than most. I will highly recommend them.

Jeff was prompt and courteous. He listened to our ideas and offered feedback. When he left, he promised to get back to us within a few days. He did contact us shortly thereafter, but declined to pursue the job.

Description of Work: Tore down and disposed of old wooden deck and replaced with new composite decking, rails, and stairs. Jeff was very skilled and attentive to details in his work. He was flexible, honest, and reliable and always willing to discuss any aspect of the job. I have since recommended Jeff to a friend who is contemplating some deck renovations, and would certainly recommend him to anyone with a deck project.

Went well, good price, all completed as asked in a timely manner. Called him back to replace a broken trim piece that we broke over the winter with a shovel, and he took care of it with no problem.

He responded promptly to inquiry. He came out and looked at our old deck. Was knowledgable and gave us good idea of the scope of work and how the job would be done. The only reason we did not use him is that we also needed a lot of other work done and ended up hiring a general contractor that could do the entire scope if work( plumbing doors, siding). We would use him in the future for any deck needs.

I wanted to build a new deck, but decided I needed help getting it framed correctly. I called Jeff for help. He came over, listened to what I wanted to create, offered some suggestions that I hadn't thought of, took measurements, gave me a list of materials that I would need to order and showed me where to install the new footings. Once the footings were in the ground and the material was delivered, Jeff came back and went to work. He started in the morning and by mid-afternoon, my new deck was framed out. I was blown away. If you want someone to build your deck who knows what he's doing, Jeff is the only person to call. Thanks Jeff!

I never hired him for the job since he was unresponsive.
Description of Work: Nothing. He came and gave an estimate to add a set of steps from an existing deck down to the driveway, about 10 steps, 2 landings, which was fine, if a bit high. After I emailed him about building permits it seemed to scare him off and I never heard from him again. He never responded anyways and I wasn't going to chase him.

Response from The Deck Man
Hello...I was waiting for his response...I had emailed Him. I called Him and told him and sent a copy of the email I sent to him. And He said He would try to re-tract the review. I guess either He couldn't do it or just got too busy. I can relate to that...I am sad that it worked out this way....I guess it got lost in cyberspace....

Fantastic! After reading so many positive reviews about "the Deck Man" we were looking forward to meeting him. Jeff visited the site when we were off cape. He provided a written estimate and proposed drawing and sent it to us via email. He agreed to meet in person to review the estimate and answer any questions. When we met in person, we agreed to some modifications to the plan and asked Jeff if he could complete the work before the end of June, 2013. Jeff promptly got back to us and confirmed he could complete the work by our desired deadline. Once started, it took about one-week to build and everything went according to plan -- including completion by our deadline. Jeff has a very friendly, easy going style. Where we live off cape, he sent us emails with pictures each day showing us the progress of the deck. He was a pleasure to work with. We are entirely pleased with the project and have no reservations recommending "the Deck Man" for future work.
Description of Work: Built a 14 x 16 deck using a combination of pressured treated wood and an Azek Composite Decking material. Built an attached outdoor shower which sits on one corner of the deck. The deck was attached to an existing Covered Screened Porch.

He was very responsive and very helpful. He had some great designs. It was great. I ended up not building the deck this year; I just decided that I couldn’t afford it. The quote was about $8900. I would have gone with him had I decided to build the deck. I just decided that I didn’t have the money to do it this year. He gave examples of all his work. He sent me a bunch of photos of similar decks that he had built in the past, which was very helpful.

Responsive, punctual, reasonable. Jeff came and gave an estimate that was far more reasonable than other quotes I received. He did not try to sell me on unnecessary structural support improvements. He did an outstanding job, cleaning up as he went. He goes above and beyond, replacing an step down to the beach that he saw needing replacement. This was a big job as the deck is about 600 sq ft over the water. He used stainless steel cabling and railing and post wraps providing suggestions to minimize cost and maintenance. We also added to his scope when he suggested improvements for an adjacent patio railing. The overall look and workmanship was great. He sent pictures everyday so I could see the progress since I was not on site. He's also just a pleasure to work with. I am using Jeff for another deck this fall.
Description of Work: Jeff removed the old decking, rebuilt structural supports as needed, and replaced decking and railings with Azek decking material.

We got two estimates and The Deck Man's price was a little higher, but we are going with him because of his timeliness. He is going to start in April or May and the other company was going to start in June or July. They were fine. They came as scheduled and was always punctual. They explained what they can do and the different types of wood, pressure treated and that new type. We were very happy with them. They were very professional. They responded within a week, with their estimate. We had a list of questions and he answered them all.
Description of Work: They gave us a bid for building a porch on our house.

He was fabulous. He was extremely responsive, very detailed, and told us exactly what to expect. He told us ahead of time that there might be some areas that would need some repairs and what to expect around that. He finished the deck at the time he said he would and it came out really nice. His pricing was great as well. He was at least $3000 less.
Description of Work: I have used The Deck Man. He completely rebuilt a deck and stairs that was failing. It was a wood deck and he replaced it with composite.

He did everything on my list-they alllooked great when he was done and even with one thing that was not how I liked it he returned and redid. I ahve referred him to several of my friends. They love his work ethic as much as I did.
Description of Work: He did my "Bucket " List-I had a list of 12 things-all done. Things that I wanted done for 3 years he did them all in a week. He treated me with respect and his references were excellent!

After receiving three bids we selected Jeff to do the job. He arrived with the material pre-cut and ready to assemble. It took ~2.5 days to complete the job and it was done exactly as we wanted it. Eight years later it still looks good. I would recommend him.

Terrific from start to finish. He was delayed to our first appointment but persisted in contacting me to notify of his delay. His work was beautiful all done in our absence. His prices were very fair, his workmanship superb. I would recommend Jeff highly. I intend on using his services over the winter on some other projects
Description of Work: Jeff removed and rebuilt a beautiful deck much larger than what was replaced. We were not there for the entire removal and construction. Jeff sent emails every day with progress reports and pictures keeping us informed of the entire process and allowing for input through out. He was a pleasure to deal with. We had one issue, we didn't like the railings on the final set of stairs to the yard. Jeff and I met and talked in July about our concerns and we agreed he would be back in the fall to change the layout. He has all my money and he has been in touch over the last months checking in to let me know what his schedule is and when this will be completed. I have never once had to call him or track him down. He is a pleasure to deal with, incredibly professional, did a beautiful job, and above all is honest and credible. I would recommend him highly, great guy, great work.

It took a few days to get an estimate from the Deck Man. He provided picture examples of his work and a list of references. I called two of the names and they could not be happier. One person had used him eight times and was using him at that time. I accepted the estimate and paid 10% down. He delayed starting the project by about 5 days due to rain holding up his then current project. He answered e-mails and telephone calls about the starting date delays promptly. I met him at this second house when he started the project and gave him 40% of the estimate. I went home to wait for for him to finish. He sent photographs of his progress via e-mail. I asked about replacing a window while he was there. He looked at it, got price and we agreed to the additional work. I met him at the house on his last day and paid for the rest of the job. The Deck Man, Jeff Hennemuth, was very pleassant to talk with about the project and about what was happening locally while I was away from the house. He did everything that I expected for the project. He cleaned up the area well afterwards. There was a lot of small wood pieces from the deteriorated sections of the old deck. The quality of the work is way above average. I would hire him again without reservation.
Description of Work: The Deck Man took down the old second floor deck and replaced it with a new deck of the same size and configuration. While he was here I had him replace a double hung window for an additional fee.

We are extremely pleased with the additions to our deck and garden. Jeff is very good at problem-solving and can give creative design suggestions. In addition, he is easy to work with and very professional (prompt, completes work in a timely fashion.) His prices are fair and his work is excellent..
Description of Work: Jeff's company is called "The Deck Man" but he does a lot more than decks: he is a fine carpenter who recently designed and built us two garden gates and a structure to hide our exterior AC units. In addition, he moved the steps on our existing deck. In fact, he had remodeled this deck or us two years ago, at which time he also built four benches and a potting shed area. Because we were so pleased with that project, we hired him again this summer.
