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.

Response from DECKMASTERS
I regret that this member feels that we didn't respond to her request, but I am not sure she has the right company. I don't get so many calls that I can't keep track of them. I have no record of either a phone message or e-mail from this member. I will admit, I have trouble with e-mails getting filtered out by my "spam" folder, but I try to even look through those from time to time. I would very much be interested in speaking with this member if they would consider my company again.

Description of Work: We needed to replace a 25-year-old deck. Mr. Ralph Ford came to our home, listened to how we wanted the deck to look and created three designs for us. We chose a design and asked for some modifications. Our deck looks exactly like the design with Mr. Ford's improvements. He answered all of our questions completely and stayed within the budget we asked for. What pleased me most was his original idea for a way to place our grill on the deck so it didn't really show when we looked out our back window. With our previous plan, we looked out a window at the back of a grill - yuck. Also, I really wanted a diagonal design with the floor and he designed it so the boards went across the deck with out needing to be cut or joined. It looks very artisitc. The two men who built the deck also removed and hauled away the old deck. They were prompt, careful and helpful. What a great experience for us.

Description of Work: RALPH CAME TO OUR HOME TO DISCUSS OUR DESIRE TO ADD A SCREEN PORCH. TALKED FOR ALMOST 3 HOURS. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD SEND US A PROPOSAL WITHIN A WEEK OR SO. TEN DAYS LATER HE LEFT A MESSAGE SAYING THAT HE COULD NOT TAKE ON ANY MORE JOBS. I RESPECT THAT. I ONLY WISH HE HAD TOLD US THAT IN THE BEGINNING. NOW WE HAVE TO TRY TO FIND ANOTHER POTENTIAL CONTRACTOR AND WE WILL BE LUCKY TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN DO IT THIS SUMMER. I WAS BOTHERED BY THE LACK OF CONSIDERATION ON HIS PART.
