DECKMASTERS

Decks and Porches, Finished Carpentry and Woodworking, Deck Maintenance,

About us

We are in our 32nd year of building decks and pergolas. We are specialists, that's all we do! We understand the importance of a nice design along with quality construction. We give both. We are experienced in many species of wood, along with many of the newer composites. We strive to be the most competitively priced deck building contractor in central Indiana. We carry all appropriate licences and insurances that a responsible contractor should. We are licensed in both Johnson and Marion counties. We are not aware of any other areas that we do work in that require licensing. For the protection of all involved, we carry both Liability and Workmen's Comp insurances. In 31 years of business, I have never had a negative complaint with the BBB or any legal actions taken against me. I, Ralph Ford, am the owner/operator of Deckmasters. I take care of all sales, design, and the day-to-day construction supervision. I employ hourly deckbuilders, I do not use sub-contractors. In my experience, hourly employees, well supervised, offer the finest craftsmanship and attention to detail in providing the very best decks available.

TERRIBLE!!!!!
Description of Work: We were looking to have a deck added to our home. Ralph came on time and when he said he would be here. We talked for a while about what we wanted to do. He brought samples for us to look at, he took measurements. Said he would send us a quote within 3 days. After 2 weeks of not getting any quote from Ralph, I call him today to ask if he sent us a quote. His response was NO I did not. Then He asked if I have been talking with another contractor, and I said I will now. Then he says I'm getting covered up. Well, why didn't you tell us this in the beginning? I would NEVER call this company again!!! Thank for wasting our time!!!

Response from DECKMASTERS
While we all appreciate reviews, this particular review was not vert informational. For the record, this homeowner was upset because I did not get his free deck design done in the time frame requested. After over 35 years in the deck business, I have yet to master the seasonal Spring rush. I admit, I have a hard time keeping up with free designs.

Response from DECKMASTERS
I appreciate the review that Mr. [Member Name Removed] has completed for Angie's List. Contrary to the, I believe, typo in his review, we did indeed build a very nice deck project for the [Member Name Removed]'s. It went in without incident, and they seemed very happy with our work.

Description of Work: Deckmasters replaced our deck planking and installed a membrane to divert rain from the walkout patio under our deck. It went very well. Ralph made sure he understood our needs, then talked us through options and gave us a fair estimate. He took pride in his team's work and gave us advice to ensure that we took the right approach to dealing the new deck.

Description of Work: Removed existing deck and replaced with composite deck. Although the process was slowed by weather and took longer than expected, Ralph and his team did a great job. The quality and structure of the deck look great and we look forward to using is this summer. Thanks Ralph.

Description of Work: Removed old decking, reinforced the under structure, relayed the deck, built benches, rebuilt stairs and installed railing. They were great to work with. Patient in our decision process and provided great ideas. The weather was brutally cold and someone was onsite almost every day until the project was completed. It turned out to be everything we had imagined and even better.

Description of Work: My husband and I wanted to add a deck to the back of our house that attached to our sunroom. We talked to Ralph and he was able to come out to our home and help us come up with an elegant design solution. After discussing pricing we decided to have them do all of the foundation work as well as lay out the deck joists. Ralph was able to give a breakdown of materials needed to complete the build since we opted for a partial project. They were very prompt and the work was done as expected. My husband was able to finish the rest of the work with help from some family friends. Ralph and his son were both professional and very knowledgeable. We cant wait for spring to get here so we can enjoy our deck! Thanks Ralph!

HE CAME EARLIER THAN HE EXPECTED AND FINISHED THE JOB IN A TIMELY FASHION. HE AND HIS CREW WERE VERY POLITE AND ANSWERED ANY QUESTION I HAD FOR THEM AND OVERALL WERE VERY PLEASANT TO HAVE WORKING AROUND MY HOME. RALPH WAS VERY CONSCIOUS OF THE WORK HE WAS DOING FOR ME, AND I COULD TELL HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE I GOT WHAT I WANTED WITH MY DECK. ABOVE ALL HE WAS A $1,000 CHEAPER THAN ANOTHER COMPANY I CHECKED OUT.

WE COMPARED THEIR PRICE WITH SEVERAL OTHERS AND THEY BEAT THEM IN PRICE BY MORE THAN 1000 DOLLARS. ONLY THING I DID NOT LIKE IS THAT THEY USED NAILS VERSUS SCREWS TO PUT IT TOGETHER. IT WAS DONE VERY QUICKLY BUT WOULD LOOK BETTER AND LAST LONGER WITH SCREWS. I SHOULD NOTE THAT I DID NOT REQUEST SCREWS, JUST ASSUMED THAT WAS WHAT I WOULD GET. STILL, WE ARE HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL RESULTS.
Description of Work: WE ADDED A FAIRLY LARGE DECK TO THE BACK OF THE HOUSE. IT HAS TWO LEVELS, AN EATING RELAXING AREA AND A GRILLING AREA. INCLUDED SWING AREA, BUILT IN PLANTER BOX, BUILT IN BENCH, BUILT IN GRILL PREP COUNTER. THEY HELPED US DESIGN IT BASED ON WHAT WE WANTED AND WERE VERY GOOD AT ASSISTING US IN MAKING IT WHAT WE WANTED IT TO BE, SUGGESTING IMPROVEMENTS. WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE DECK. GOOD QUALITY AND DECENT PRICE.
