Brunners Quality Decks

After receiving bids from several different companies, and coming in near the middle in terms of pricing, we decided to go with Brunners Quality Decks.. Immediately after receiving the bid, we started second guessing everything we wanted. Our original deck was 15 years old and the posts were rotted as well as the handrails. We had already decided we wanted to go as maintenance free as possible due to the height of the screen porch and deck ( elevated about 15 feet ), our ages, and our laziness, but then decided we needed to replace the existing concrete with a new shape and design. Since we were not totally replacing the screen porch, ( leaving the roof and ceiling intact ), this caused quite a challenge in order to provide appropriate structural bracing support, but allow the concrete company to have the access they needed. Lawrence was willing to work with them and come up with a plan, but that resulted in Brunners having to work in stages to perform the tear down and then having to come back the next month to start construction. After we had the concrete stain applied, and they looked at the composite color we had selected, they made a strong recommendation that we wouldn?t be happy and to select a different color. They were absolutely correct with that recommendation, and we are very happy with the result. They also came up with a different approach for the screening for the porch and the end result is just what we were looking for. I know they probably cringed anytime I walked outside wondering what crazy thing I wanted to change next! They were extremely punctual, kept the work area clean, and were very accommodating with all of our questions, changes, and requests. We know that they built us a quality deck that we can be proud of and will bring enjoyment for years to come.

Lawrence at Brunner's kept in constant contact with me both before and during the service. He made sure all of the right papers were filed with the city, which was great because I have never had to do that before. The crew did a great job. They showed up at the same time each day which was nice because we knew how to plan our day. They also cleaned up the worksite, not just at the end of the job but at the end of each day. I was truly impressed with the quality of the work. The craftsmanship was excellent, and Brunner's made sure that someone stopped by on a regular basis to check on the progress of the job and the quality of the work. All in all, I was impressed and would definitely recommend this company to anyone in the Kansas City metro area who is interested in having the same service.

Outstanding ! Completed in one day, great crews,great job. Should you need any type of deck work, from new to repairs call Brunners Quality Decks.

Bruinner Quality Decks is exactly what their name represent, Lawerence came to my home, the exact time he schedule for a estimate. I felt comfortable to ask questions, and was given an estimate within a day or two. The building crew was very nice and did an excellent job building and cleaning up behind the old boards. My deck was built fast & the quality was wood was used. Brunner Quality Decks are very professional and provide excellent service. I would recommend this company to anyone who want a deck built

Brunner's returned our first inquiry within hours, and Lawrence was at the house within days to prepare a bid for the services we wanted. We had a bid within a couple of days, and we accepted their bid. Work started within a month of accepting the bid. We had a couple of weather issues, but the entire job took one week. The finished projects were so much more than I imagined they would be. We had Brunner's enlarge the deck considerably, and the finished deck is stunning! Nice, wide staircase with a wide landing, handrails as well as the stair railing, decorative post tops, black railing spindles, so sturdy! I am amazed at the attention to detail! The crew ran into some old termite damage, but repaired the damage before continuing on with the project. they moved the dirt from digging the posts out into spots in the yard that could use it, as well as building up the dirt along the foundation under the deck. The jobsite was cleared of all old lumber, concrete bags, and left in great condition. The front porch looks so great with the cedar posts, railings and the black spindles, it's like a different house! I can't wait to replace the front door and the shutters on the house to tie it all together! They did a GREAT job! Lawrence was on the job site every day, and Frank led the crew like a well oiled machine. We are so happy with the outcome and we will (and already have) recommend Brunner's to our friends and family!

I worked on getting a proposal to replace our deck with Brunner's. I called to set a time for someone to take a look at the deck. They were immediately on top of it and came out the next day. Mr. Banks came on time as scheduled. He took a look at our existing conditions and discussed what we would like for the new deck. We also had a conversation about how to best design the deck with good input from Mr. Banks. He left us a packet of information for us to review and we received a quote within the next day. The quote they provided was right in line with all the rest. The only reason that we didn't go with Brunner's was a timing issue on our part. I would definitely get a quote from them and would definitely look to them for future work.

I got the quote from Kerry Brunner in July and hired his company to do the work in mid-July. The only problem with Brunner's Quality Decks is they are so good that they are very, very busy. We had to wait until 11/10 for them to finally start our project. I called them periodically to check where we were in the schedule. I probably should have called more. They told me they would come at 7:30 AM on 11/10 and at 7:27 AM they were at my door. They worked all day and then they were back the next morning by 8 AM. We have just had extensive remodeling done inside our home so we've had people in and out for months and none of them worked as hard or steadily as Brunner's crew did. I was also impressed with how early Brunner's start. With our remodeling work, we felt lucky if someone was at our house by 10 AM and if they put in a 4 hour day. Brunner's crew was just great and we have a beautiful deck. I was impressed, too, with Kerry Brunner's knowledge. He's kind of rough around the edges but he knows what he's talking about and his crew of guys know their stuff. They cleaned up after themselves, too, and left no messes for us to deal with. I would hire Brunner's again in a heart beat and highly recommend them.

It went great the best experience we have ever had with contractors. Great people on time and great work.

Crew came out several days and had to work around a rainy week. They got the job done as quickly as possible. The yard was kept clean, which was appreciated as we have dogs. The deck looks fantastic. It is high quality with excellent craftsmanship.

Estimate was for a fair price--in line with other providers. However, "contracted" with a relative to do the ob for cost of material.

Kerry and his crew did an excellent job. They were always here on time and worked from the minute they arrived. The attention to detail sets them apart and it shows in the quality of their work. Another detail I appreciated is that once they start on your deck they only work on your deck and your deck alone until its finished. Happy staining!

Kerry was always responsive and helpful. He is a nice guy that cares about his work and his customers. He knew and followed all the city codes for the new deck. He even incorporated in some upgraded features that i requested. The crew was on time everyday and they are hard working. They kept the worksite clean and were professional. We are very happy with our deck and would highly recommend Brunners Quality Decks to anyone! Advice: Call in January to get your deck done in the spring or summer. Kerry has one crew and his job list fills up fast. I appreciate him using one crew and maintaining high quality control on his decks. Call early, be patient, then enjoy your new quality deck!

Arrived on time to give an estimate. Described exactly what needed to be done to bring deck into code compliance. We had just purchased the house and the home inspection found problems with deck. He kept us in the loop and always returned calls. We had at one time a scheduling problem and he worked with us to keep is in the rotation of his jobs. Workers were professional and worked at a steady pace all day long. Work area was cleaned up every night. They were doing such a good job on the deck we asked for a bid for railings on front steps. I thought I would just get an estimate and be put on the work schedule for sometime later but he said they were already here and they could do the job in a few hours. Mr. Brunner is very professional and his crew was professional as well. Excellent price that matched estimate exactly. Excellent work. I would hire him again and can feel comfortable recommending them to anyone.

Great experience. The design and the deck are awesome and better than we had imagined. You can tell that they've been at this for years. Showed up on time every day, kept us informed about the process along the way, and cleaned up nicely. We asked for a couple of additional items along the way and Kerry was very flexible and accommodating. I must add that the guys were great and stayed professional and cool in spite of being yelled at daily by arguably the least reasonable neighbor on the planet who thinks nobody should be legally parked anywhere near his house. Great job, guys!

Our old deck needed to be replaced and we wanted to add a large gazebo. After first contact with Kerry I was treated with the professional treatment you would want from any contractor. Mr. Brunner came to my home and listen to what I wanted done, and within a day or two contacted me with the estimate and the plans for deck and gazebo and approximate start date. When the day came to start, he and his crew were there as I was told, they tore out my old deck and hauled away with in a day and then they started their construction. Everyday like clock work they were there and with a fine meshed crew they did the job from start to finish in the time that was stated at the very beginning. I also may add they Kerry was there everyday to answer any questions I might have had. The completion of the whole project deck and gazebo was exactly what I wanted / invisioned. On a side note; over the week's course of the work, I came to know Kerry and his crew well and that even made the experience even more pleasant. Without hesitation I would recomment Mr. Brunner to anyone who was looking for a professional company to design, build your deck .

another project pushed their time until January. Kerry called to keep us in the loop about the projected start time. The crew arrived early in the morning on the projected day, materials were delivered and placed where we requested them to be left. The crew cleaned up after each day's work, and the job was completed as promised. The quality of their work was exceptional, we would hire them again in a heartbeat to complete another project!

Kerry and his crew did a wonderful job. The decks they tore out had been here 20 years and there were constant challenges to be met because of the unexpected issues they uncovered. They showed us each of them and explained various options each time for us to choose among. They were methodical and deliberate, obviously very experienced. They cleaned up every day of the two weeks the large project required. I was impressed from the beginning when Kerry took such detailed information and measurements before giving us his initial quote. We choose a PVC material for long maintenance-free life which the crew handled expertly.

Kerry Brunner arrived at my home to look at my old deck and provide an estimate for a new deck. He gave suggestions and answered a lot of questions that I had. It was obvious he really knows decks. He called the next day with a quote that I thought was very good. I didn't get any other quotes just because 1) I was impressed with his reviews on Angieslist, 2) he's a down-to-earth guy that gives you the information you need to make a decision and even throws out alternatives (one of which I used, a storage area under our deck), 3) his quote was good, especially after searching the reviews from other companies on angieslist. Kerry set up the preparation of permits, utility line crews, etc. prior to his arrival. Kerry and his crew arrived on Monday morning and began work promptly. They were finished by Wednesday afternoon. Kerry was there the entire time and his crew was great. They work hard and get the job done. I had absolutely no worries at all, which is the way it should be. I usually feel like I have to monitor contractors when they are working, but his crew is top notch and very professional. I can't compliment them enough on how well the deck turned out. It looks fantastic, the enclosed storage area underneath is impressive and I'm so glad that Kerry recommended it. My wife is extremely pleased with the deck as well and very happy with Kerry and crew. Definitely get a quote from Brunner's Quality Decks. I highly recommend them.

Kerry contacted me very quickly and was at my home the next day to look at the project. He was very professional providing me with a packet of work he has done as well as an insurance certificate. Kerry did all the measurements and advised me he would get back with an estimate. I must say Kerry and his crew work together like a fine tuned machine! I was VERY impressed will how professional everyone was as well as considerate to their surroundings. I LOVE the finished product and look forward to having them out to do more in the future. My brother saw the porch and is going to contact Kerry to do his. I must say something that I appreciated very much was at the end...the cost was exactly what I was given as an estimate. Kerry stated to me, if it's not good enough for his home he isn't going to use it or do it on someone else's home and trust me, his work shows that! Thank you Kerry and everyone at Brunner's for our beautiful new 2 story porch...we LOVE it!

Communication with Kerry was difficult at best. It would typically take a few days for him to return calls, and ultimately he never returned my last call to work out a final bid for our project, which was a major reason why we went with another contractor. When I did actually get to speak with him, he was great. Very detailed, passionate about what he does, etc. Just reaching him, and getting him to respond was the issue. One of his workers, David I believe his name was, did a thorough job during the bid visit, asking questions of us, making suggestions, etc. I have no doubt they do quality work; it's evident by the number of other positive reviews by others here on Angie's List. But I want quality work done along with top notch communication, and I didn't feel that would be the case If I had hired them to do the project, based upon my experience with Kerry during the bidding process.

Kerry spent a lot of time explaining things when he first came to give me the estimate. His crew were hard workers, completed the job in 12 hours, and cleaned up well. They even replaced an old wooden door off my screened- in porch with a storm door. I am very pleased with their work,and I love my new deck that is maintenance free except for an occasional cleaning.

Kerry was great. First, the process of getting a quote from him went very well. He took the time to explain how he would build the deck, even with a couple of unique design features due to the shape of our house. The other folks who gave us quotes did not do this, so I appreciate the time that he took in making sure that I understood how the process would go down. We scheduled the build date and it was even moved forward by a couple of weeks (which was great for us). I watched these guys work for two days in stifling heat without a break. They really put a great effort into it and the end product is just what we wanted. After talking to three builders recommended by Angie's List, Kerry was certainly the best.

I called Kerry using Angie's List recommendations. He went to the site, called me with the bid, since I was out of town. We discussed it. Several weeks later, he called to tell me he had a few days in between jobs waiting on other job permits, were we still interested? I arranged it so that the old deck was removed on a Friday so that we could prep the site over the weekend. He returned on Monday and we discussed the plans again. He took his time calculating every piece of the deck before he started, where the electric lines would run below the deck, where the steps would finish. My daughter and I would "highly" recommend the entire crew. They were careful, detail oriented, kept the area clean during and after the project, and did their best to earn our money and respect. We would recommend them to anyone in the KC Area if you are needing a good quality deck at a reasonable price. It looks GREAT! Thanks Kerry.

Kerry was prompt, friendly and attentive. He offered solutions which met our needs and budget.

We found Brunner's Quality Deck on angie's list and called him because we were impressed with his prior reviews. We were impressed with Kerry's knowledge and professionalism from start to finish. He and his crew were always on time, were organized and worked hard. The finished product was exactly what we had hoped it would be.
