"We appreciate the opportunity to work with you. The deck and patio space fit perfectly in your backyard and pocket well into the home. The material choices you made were top notch, especially the new Tuscan blend color of the Bristol Stone line from the EP Henry Collection. It coupled with the variegated tan colored PVC decking and custom rail with matching top rail cap, playing off the brown border cobblestone on the patio all just completely 'clicked' together. I am happy as you are how the entire project played off each other. It's going to be an awesome outdoor space for you and your growing family. Thanks again for entrusting American Deck and Patio to build this outdoor space for you. Sean Conway, Owner"
"Thanks folks for your kind words. This deck turned out great. Your overall thoughts on the design for the space were on point and the material choices were extremely attractive. The small amount of pavers we added to create a custom landing off of the expansive custom wraparound steps that transitioned one to the yard. just really brought this project home. It was 'that' finishing touch that was needed. I appreciate your trust in our services and we hope to work with you again shortly! Sean Conway, Owner"
"We appreciate you choosing to work with us and trust us with your project. The project looks awesome and is a beautiful addition to the home. The expanded outdoor living space is very functional and provides enough space for multiple seating and dining arrangements. Following up on small nuisance repairs and fixes is always a big hurdle for any smaller company to take on- just not having dedicated personnel to address these when they crop up. We do take pride in seeing them through, finding a way to get them addressed between our ongoing projects. It's a commitment we try to ensure gets done one way or the other. Thanks again for choosing American Deck and Patio to build and create your outdoor space. Sean Conway, Owner"
"Wow! Thank you for your kind words regarding our services! We attempt to please all of our clients and it's sheer pleasure to hear and see this praise. The work can be especially challenging at times and we take pride at American Deck and Patio to try and see the project thru to the very end to ensure our customers are truly happy with the work. Many thanks for posting this regarding the project. Everyone on the team here at American Deck and Patio worked hard to bring this project in, and I am sure Steve is very appreciative of the recognition. Sean Conway, Owner"
"Thank you kindly for your kind words. We appreciate them and I know Steve worked diligently and tirelessly to see that this entire project came together. At American Deck and Patio we are extremely proud to now have earned our SEVENTH STRAIGHT SUPER SERVICE AWARD with Angie's List with the recognition we recently received for 2017, in part to Steve and his efforts. Steve is an integral member of our team and anyone who meets with him is lucky to have him as their project manager. His design work, efforts, and ongoing communication clearly set him apart from many others out there, and we're happy to work along side of him. Sean Conway, Owner"

"Thank you very much for your kind words. Juan Carlos loves to please, as does Steve. These are just two people, out of many special people, who work tirelessly to see that American Deck and Patio continues to be a premier regional deck, porch, and patio builder for the metro area. We have now won Angie's List coveted 'Super Service Award' for seven straight years!!! I'm extremely proud to work side-by-side with Steve and Juan Carlos, as well as our other team members.

"Thank you for your kinds words. Yes, as a turnkey contractor we tackle all CAD work, permitting, permit fees, provide HOA assistance, and manage the project from initial design to completion. Permitting is often necessary and can be a burden to most homeowners. Some inspectors can often be difficult to work with...and some are not. Sometimes information gleamed and received at the permit office is then different from what the field inspector wants and/or expects. After having executed countless hundreds of permits throughout the metro area, with scores of jurisdictions having different rules, selective local codes, unique processes, etc, we have become accustomed to just 'rolling with it'. In Montgomery County alone, we must be "fluent" with the City of Rockville, City of Gaithersburg, and MoCo county rules, codes, and expectations, along with seeing we also meet and/or exceed national building code. In DC, there is DCRA.....as well as DDOT, Historic Districts, Architectural Overviews for some neighborhoods, and so on and so on. There are then countless other "local" jurisdictions one must learn to 'navigate' in order to work in this vibrant, yet compressed and complex metro area. American Deck and Patio aims to provide as seamless of a service as possible to all of our clients, in whatever jurisdiction that they want to build in. Aside from explaining the pros and cons, as well as costs, for the many, many outdoor products and projects that are out there, we aim to also educate our clients on the processes one must expect for taking on these projects. Sean Conway, Owner"
"This turned out to be an awesome custom pergola. I enjoyed the design process with the client as they truly wanted something custom to their specific tastes. It's one of the nicest pergolas we have built in some time. We certainly appreciate their kind words and we are happy they chose our services. Sean Conway, Owner"
"Thank you for your very kind words. We all work tirelessly to see we deliver beautiful projects that not only our clients will be proud of, but that we're proud of as well. Steve is a dedicated designer and project manager and those lucky enough to work with him will not be disappointed! Sean Conway, Owner"
"Great folks. Great people to work for. Turned out to be an awesome project. Extremely appreciative on their patience regarding the call back, which we tackled. We appreciate their kind words and know that they will enjoy the new porch for many, many, many years. Sean Conway, Owner"
"Sometimes folks can be difficult to work with. Sometimes folks can carry on...and carry on...and carry on...and carry on. Sometimes there is another side to the story. And sometimes stuff happens. This was a very, very, very, very, very challenging person to deal with. We did so quite effectively. I'm proud of everyone who had to deal with this client, including myself. Against my better judgement, I chose to move forward in contracting with this client, after telling them I felt it was best we not get engaged, turning away the opportunity to move forward with them. The client is accurate in that the husband re-contacted me after a period of time and requested we re-open talks about moving forward. Ultimately, we did contract. After completing the project, a period of time went by and the client called in to complain about the deck. We requested that the manufacturer rep come out to review the deck. He determined that the PVC decking clearly had a manufacturer defect and he sent in a claim for all new decking. Negotiations between contractor and manufacturer ensued to see that we could replace the decking, getting a fair price for our labor services since the decking was defective. These type of things....rarely occur. In the last decade, this is only the second instance where the PVC/composite decking we represent was defective. And the manufacturer stepped up and did provide replacement decking, as well as covering our labor. They make a great product and did the right thing. But this doesn't occur overnight. It takes time to review the deck, get it addressed properly, negotiate the labor rate, and get the work scheduled. Meanwhile, we're not a large builder with teams just sitting around 'at the ready'. Luckily, our services are in demand and we are often booked out 8-10 weeks when we are in peak season. At no time did the defective decking inhibit the customer from using the deck. It was an aesthetic detail that needed to be addresses, not a structural concern. In the end, we did come back out....after gaining agreement with the manufacturer on the cost of replacement for our labor, and scheduling the project, slotting it behind other work that had been previously contracted. I do recall that we had to stagger our start time back....due to construction delays regarding comprehensive projects in front of their project. This happens in construction. It's unfortunate but occurs sometimes. We did maintain ongoing communication and updates to the client. And again, it didn't inhibit the customer from using the deck. We work hard to please all of our clients. We're exhaustive in seeing our clients understand the many, many, many different products available to folks when it comes to low maintenance decking and railing and trim options. This client was no different. She received great service from me, my dedicated carpentry team, and the manufacturer rep. Truly a team effort to bring this one to closure and then to see that we stepped up and effectively tackled the issue. Despite her unhappiness, she has an awesome deck.....installed twice! Sean Conway, Owner."
"It was truly a pleasure to work with this client. It was an important project for her to take on. She was prudent and took her time throughout the process. We gave her that time and worked on her timeline, seeing that she had the information she needed to feel comfortable. We're happy she chose us and feels so good about the project and our work. Sean Conway, Owner"
"Thank you for your kinds words. We are lucky to have Rene on our team. He is truly a professional and has been building outdoor carpentry projects for well over twenty years, the last seven years with our company. Steve works tirelessly for his clients. It's one of the reasons we have won Angie's List Super Service Award for SIX STRAIGHT YEARS!!! That's awesome, if I say so myself! Sean Conway, Owner"
