DW Elite Decks

We worked with Dan Milford and his team at DW Elite Decks to design and install a stamped concrete patio and screened in porch in our backyard. My wife and I have been wanting have this built in our backyard for years, but haven't been able to find a company we were comfortable with. We found DW Elite Decks and decided to go with them based off of their work portfolio and we were beyond happy with the results! We are first time home owners and don't have a lot of experience in adding things on to a home, so we were worried we would make the wrong decision with choosing a builder for a big project like this. But I know that we made the right decision in working with Dan and his company. The design they put together for us was better than what I was imagining in my head for our backyard. Their team was extremely professional and we never once felt uncomfortable having them work in our backyard for the few weeks the project took to complete. Most of the other builders we met with quoted us a pretty lengthy time to complete everything, but DW Decks quoted us a time and actually had it completed faster! We were so surprised at how easily everything came together. They aren't the kind of company that will compromise on the quality of material- they only want to use the best. And I can see that it does make a huge difference when building a porch. We knew they were a little bit more expensive than other companies but now that we are finished, I feel more secure in knowing we used the best materials. It was worth the money to spend a little bit more, and I'm glad Dan pushed us to do that. Dan was really good about communicating with us on questions that we had (and we had a lot!). He never made us feel like we were throwing too much at him and always got back to us very quickly. Even weeks after the work had been completed, Dan still quickly gets back to us on things we have questions about. They also installed a stamped concrete patio and everyone who has seen it is blown away by how great it turned out! My father just recently finished building his new home and once he saw our stamped concrete patio, he just kept telling me how much he wished he would've talked to a company like DW before having his patio installed. The patio turned out beautiful and I couldn't have asked for more! I would recommend DW over any other company for this kind of work hands down... My wife and I could not be happier with our results!

DW Decking was the most professional service provider that we have ever encountered. Once the materials were delivered they focus on that job until completion. It was the same crew daily, with the same foreman, who communicated everything with us, while at the house. Dan and Denise were very concerned about our satisfaction and quickly met with us to re-assess any concerns. They were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them. Thanks for the great job !!

They were very professional. The owner kept us in the loop via email before, during, and after the project. They tore down our old deck and built the new one the way we wanted it. The owner explained the project thoroughly when he came to the house to work up an estimate. They completed the project in one week. Our old deck was built by the builders of our house and they cut corners. We were never happy with the old deck. Our old deck had several problems that the owner of DW Elite Decks made us aware of. The finished new deck looks very nice. We are very happy with our experience with them.

Because we were adding both a screened in porch and deck, it was very important to us that we selected a contractor who had both the credentials and resume of performing quality work. Dan and his crew did not disappoint. The end result is fantastic and Dan was very good about sending his crew back to fix any of the little issues we felt needed to be addressed.

Excellent. We were very pleased with the handy-work.It is just beautiful!!!The process was very easy and professional from start to end. And it only took a week to build.I would highly recommend them.What a treat.

Dan and his team did an excellent job. Prior to starting work, Dan met with me and my wife and we discussed the process, materials we would like to use, and pricing. Dan was easy to work with, and very responsive to phone calls or email. Dan's does not subcontract the work, and has a group of employees that work directly for him that performed the entire job. We used higher end materials, added lighting, and expanded size of our deck and the team was able to handle all of this. Dan's team arrived on time each day, and Dan and the team communicated with out throughout the process. You will not be disappointed if you use DW Elite Decks for your next project.

DW Elite Decks did an awesome job on the deck and patio. We are so happy with the outcome. Dan not only walked us through the whole design and build process, he also was very helpful in providing information and recommendations for maintaining our deck more many years to come. Dan's construction crew that came in were friendly, respectful and professional. Their clean up after the job was complete was immaculate.

We just finished our first project with Dan Milford of DW Elite Decks and couldn't have been more impressed by Dan and his crew. We contracted with Dan to build a sleeping porch addition to our house which extended the deck, provided a screened-in living space, plus extended the roofline. Dan was extremely professional and his crew (led by his field supervisor, Noah) were polite, highly skilled, cleaned up every day after themselves, and were fun to be around. Dan was very communicative with us, letting us know when they would show up and they arrived every day as promised. We were pretty impressed with how fast they worked, too, since our project was rather large but they completed in a little over a week. As with every project, small issues came up where we wanted corrections or changes, but with every request Dan responded positively, saying that he wanted customer satisfaction. We even made a few requests which were above and beyond what Dan contracted for, but he did them for us. I don't think we have ever had a more pleasant experience working with a contractor. I highly recommend DW Elite Decks for any deck, pergola, or screened-in porch project!

DW Elite was great to work with, Dan was very good with keeping me informed about scheduling and details. The work was done fast and the quality was really high - the deck is beautiful. I highly recommend them.

The construction is first class using the highest quality materials. They provide complete specs and a detailed drawing prior to beginning the work. You know exactly what you are getting and all about the construction methods and precisely what it will cost. If you decide to make spec changes, they update your spec detail , drawing, and pricing. They show up when they tell you and finish promptly. They pick up the trash every day. The owner communicates by email or phone so you know what to expect. Finally, the crew is professional and courteous. I would highly recommend DW Elite Decks. It's hard to find a company that is this detailed and precise. I talked to several, and after I did it was a no-brainer to go with them.

We love our new outdoor space! Dan was so patient and helpful as we went through our design process. We went through probably 4 designs/changes and he never got frustrated like some of the other companies that bid on our project. The crew was punctual and make significant progress every day. The quality of our project is top notch. Everyone who has seen it goes on and on about how nice it is. I would not hesitate to recommend DW Elite Decks to anyone!

I had a couple of other estimates on replacing the deck but the two companies did not impress me. I used Angie's List and found DW Elite Decks. Dan came out, looked at my sinking ship, gave me a quote and his ideas and we set a date. He suggested the materials that should be used and why and the black spindles for a longer lasting yet attractive product. He worked with me on a start date because of my prior commitments. The job was completed in October. He phoned me when the materials would arrive and phoned me again tell me the crew would possibly start on a Thursday afternoon if they finished up another job. Six people showed up Thursday afternoon and within an hour the old deck was gone. Came back Friday at 6:45 a.m and started laying out the deck, digging post foundations, mixed and poured the concrete for the post foundations and a pad for the bottom step and set up a basic form of the deck. They left in mid afternoon because there was nothing else to do because of the concrete. Monday Morning again at exactly 6:45 a.m. they came back and had the deck finished that morning. Every member of the crew had their own assigned tasks. They conversed with each other staying completely on task but always doing the job. Never saw anyone not at work which is amazing for 6 people each day. When they got done all i could say was WOW. It looked just like Dan said it would and i think it was way above what i could of got from anyone else. His bid was slightly less than the other two bids I received but I have no doubt I got much more than I expected. The job came with a 2 year warranty on workmanship and a 5 year warranty on wood rot. And I still look at the deck and say WOW.

A very positive experience from bid to completion. Dan Milford and his entire crew were very professional, polite, and neat. Work was timely completed, even though we had a few rain delays. Dan was in constant communication up to, and throughout the job. Extremely responsive to questions or concerns. Additional rot issues encountered during the tear-out were taken care of as well. Dan and his crew's attention to detail was outstanding. I would recommend DW Elite Decks to anyone considering a new or replacement deck.

We highly recommend DW Elite Decks to anyone looking for a premier partner in helping them create their ideal deck! They exceeded our expectations through every phase of the project. Research/Bidding Phase: Initially we obtained five bids during this process, and started to get a sense of frustration. We then performed a google search for local builders we came across DW Elite Decks, and submitted a request for proposal. Dan the owner, called us back that same day and scheduled an onsite review for later in the week. When Dan came onsite, we had a strong feeling from the start this would be different. He listened to what we were wanting to do with the project, asked some questions, and then it felt like he partnered with us to solve for the right solution. This solution not being the ?most expensive,? but rather how to build what we were after in the most efficient manner to minimize any wasting of resources. Dan was different for he was the only one who did not try to up-sale on the project, but rather laid out options, gave us his insight, and let us make the decision. Contract/Scheduling: The contract used to set-up the project was very simple to understand and we felt very comfortable contracting with his organization. We worked on scheduling the start of the project and set the date. Very simple process and extremely customer friendly! Building the Decks: From the time his team arrived onsite to when the project was complete we could not have been more impressed. The team was very professional, worked very efficiently, and their work was second to none. The team did the small things like keeping materials out of the way, cleaning up the jobsite throughout the day, and overall demonstrating ownership in their work. Overall: Dan is one of the most professional individuals I have met. He is diligent in communication, strives for exceeding expectations, and overall really takes pride in the work he delivers. We could not be happier with the end product. The two decks they built you can see they know what they are doing, and are specialist in this space. They did things most don?t think of when building decks. They ensured both decks were not going to cause any water damage inside the house (previous deck builder did not do this caused us issues), that the decks matched perfectly, and that the foundation was sturdy and appealing to the eye. We highly recommend DW Elite Decks for your decking project!

We used contractors on several remodeling projects since moving to Overland Park a few years ago, including finishing our basement and remodeling 3 bathrooms. DW Elite Decks is by far the best experience we've ever had in a home project. Over the past two years, we received 6-7 bids for our new deck. After meeting with Dan, he became the easy choice for our project and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our project includes a stamped concrete patio, a PVC deck (Azek brand) that is uncovered in one area and then covered in another area that includes dining and living room areas. We had a stone TV wall added (no fireplace) and a nice custom mantle that Dan and team added for us. We bead board on the ceiling, a ceiling fan, lighting, and in deck stair lights. When dealing with contractors, there are a few things that are important to us: 1) Be responsive, especially over email and text 2) Be proactive in telling us changes to schedules 3) Be thorough in documenting the project and every selection in writing so there is no confusion. 4) Be punctual and professional - this includes your crew. 5) Be honest and treat the project as if it were your own home. Dan and the entire DW team meet all criteria. In our visits with Dan, he was patient and heard our ideas (some of them bad) and was great about explaining alternative approaches to the deck design and selections we made. He was also very good about explaining cost impacts of decisions we were making. If we had questions or concerns, he was quick to respond to emails, calls and text messages. He told us his team would show up and get started at 6:45am each morning and I've never seen a group this punctual. I wish my company had people that could show up to meetings on time like these guys show up to work. For a month, the DW crew was our morning wake-up and I don't recall them every being a minute late. The project was flawless and we love our new addition to our house. I'm sitting on my covered deck as I write this review - it's become the room for dinner, royals games, morning coffee, games with the kids. It really is a dream room for us and I can't thank DW Elite Decks enough for making such a big investment a truly wonderful experience. He told me when giving me our bid that he's usually not the cheapest. He may not have been, but he was competitive and worth paying a premium for the peace of mind in doing business with a true group of professionals. I will refer them to anyone - just gave his information to my parents.

As a customer and homeowner I could not be more pleased with the final product that Dan Milford and Elite Decks built at my house. It turned out exactly how my wife and I envisioned when we signed the contract. Elite Deck. employees are craftsman and every aspect of my deck was built with professional skill and craftsmanship. The foreman and crew were a friendly group and got along very well at the job site. It was clearly evident to me, on a daily basis, that Dan and his employees take pride in the work they do. The project started on 5/21 and finished on 6/1 and even with rain delays, it was finished within the time frame Dan provided us. When they finished the project, they cleaned up the work site and hauled off all debris. My deck is solid evidence that Elite Decks does not just build decks, they build "Elite" decks. Great job!

I enthusiastically recommend DW Elite Decks to anyone looking for a trusted partner with a deck project. My experience was highlighted by top notch customer service, professionalism and a beautiful finished product that I am extremely satisfied with. During the research phase, the owner, Dan Milford, responded the same day to my online inquiry. As a follow up, he visited with my wife and I at our house to discuss the prospective project and help cast a vision/answer questions. Within the time frame he verbally committed to, he sent us an estimate and provided a schematic. In addition, he invited us to the DW Showroom so we could see the materials. He worked with our budget and was competitive with his bid. My wife and I decided to move forward with DW Elite Decks. During the duration my project, the team worked diligently to deliver the product we were expecting. They were always on time and ready to go. In addition, they were courteous, made themselves available to answer questions and extremely efficient. The final product was awesome! We love it! Even our friends and neighbors have even been complimenting the deck?s craftsmanship and details. It was exactly as Dan had outlined from the start - and we have enjoyed it ever since. Let me also note that I am a sticker for communication and that Dan is one of the best professionals I have worked with. He was very prompt in all his communication and I always felt like I could get a hold of him or get a response from him in no time. I feel this is very important attribute when working with a contractor. I felt taken care of and knew that Dan would available if I ever needed him. Based on my overall experience, I recommend that if you are thinking about doing a deck project in the KC area, please consider working with Dan and DW Elite Decks team.

These guys worked through the wet sloppy mud to get my deck done in time for my daughter's 5th birthday party. Although it was delayed because of the rain they were working as soon as it stopped. The deck is beautiful with accent lights on the post and lights in the stairs. It was a little pricey but you get what you pay for! These guys do excellent work!

We couldn't be happier with the work that was done by DW. Being able to go into their large showroom and actually see the materials and quality of work was a big plus for us while shopping for someone to make our outdoor space really special. The crew was wonderful and professional and extremely skilled at what they do. Our new screened in cedar deck is wonderful, we use it constantly. The concrete porch is wonderful for grilling, entertaining and just wonderful to look at.

The deck built by DW Decks exceeded my expectations. It started with their large showroom, where I was able to view and touch the installed products. I had chosen one product from samples but changed my mind when I say installed products at the showroom. The company does great work, no surprises on price, and completed the job just as bid, on time If you want a quality deck, I highly recommend this company.

From initial contact through follow ups to be certain our expectations were exceeded Dan and the crew at DW Elite Decks were great. What most impressed us and separated them from others was their professionalism during the quotation process. They took the time to explain things in detail, invited us to their showroom and walked through each step of the project. They didn't ask for design fees, try to upsell us to products we weren't interested in, etc. They just wanted to earn our business and they did. While their price was slightly higher than another quote we had (Less than another) it was in the ballpark. Their professionalism during the quote process, attention to details when we spoke with them at their showroom and their reviews won us over. Our retired neighbors that enjoyed watching the project unfold paid DW Elite Decks the best compliment "Your deck guys worked very hard and the decks are beautiful" We couldn't be happier with the finished product.

DW Elite decks screened in our covered deck. this was an existing deck with 6x6 cedar posts, covered and approx. 12 feet off the ground. They did an excellent job making the new deck blend with the old and with great attention to detail and craftsmanship. They extended the 6x6 cedar railings to the ceiling 12 feet up, screened with a high quality screen. We also had the underside of the deck screened to eliminate all possible insect entry. they placed screen between the studs and held in place with 2x2 trim work. Overall they did a very good job and in a timely manner, 2 days start to finish. While their cost will be slightly more that other companies that I researched, the value and quality is much greater. You get what you pay for, and we received a lot for our investment. Dan Milford, came to our house to give us an estimate, this was a quick process, and he had us the estimate/quote the next day. We paid exactly as he said and he had no extra charges. You will realize with their builds they don't staple the screens to the structure, but use a bracket for the screen with rubber spline , and cover all brackets/hardware with trim work. their decks have great visual depth, look complete, and look and have a great feel of quality I would use them again, and highly recommend DW Elite decks if looking for an outdoor project where quality is your driving factor

DW Decks was great to work with. Dan was very knowledgeable and helped design the perfect deck to meet our needs. He was very quick to respond and set everything up quickly. The deck is great and would highly recommend them in the future. All of his employees were very professional and great to work with.

They did an excellent job. They were meticulous with the entire project as this was custom and required some special adjustments . They started early and worked late. The jobsite was spotless when they were done. We are 100% satisfied!

We had a great experience with DW Elite Decks! Dan, the owner, was a great communicator. This crew arrived on time when Dan indicated. He responded to emails promptly. The crew was open to questions and were professional throughout the project. They cleaned up the area when they left, leaving a well built screened in porch! I had seen the work of DW Elite Decks from a major project they completed at a friends house, and I knew this was the company I wanted to use for our project. Their craftsmanship is excellent. This is a great company who takes care of their employees. I highly recommend DW Elite Decks.
