Description of Work: "We contracted Jim to build our Fiberon Deck after interviewing 3 prospects. He came out to our house a couple of days after the initial contact. He was able to give us an estimate that same day, he gave us advice and did not try to offer anything that would exceed our budget. He was very honest, laid back and patient. Throughout the entire construction he was always in contact and kept us informed about what was going on and did inspect the construction periodically to ensure things were proceeding as planned. There was some delay in delivery of the materials so it took a little longer than expected but it was no fault of Jim's company it was due to issues with the Fiberon manufacturer. Overall we are very pleased and would certainly use this company again"

I want to thank this customer for taking the time to post this review. This customer was exceedingly patient with shipping issues that came up. They have a beautiful deck. Ther entire Deck was special order. When we needed to get another piece it was about a one-week delay. Not all the lights we got initially worked and we had to order more. Some of the material we ordered was not the correct color and had to go back. Through it all they were upbeat and kind. At the end they had the beautiful deck. The colors customer chose as well as the lighting are perfect. 👍

Description of Work: On Friday, June 12th, I contacted Maryland Deck & Shed (MD&S) to get an estimate. James Sarazin personally came by my house the next morning, a Saturday, and gave me a very fair estimate that was within the budget I was trying to stay within. I wanted to replace my very worn 12 x 12 deck and a 19 x 12 deck, as well as possibly replace a privacy fence that was approximately 5' x 5'. Since I had already received my county permit the week before, Mr. Sarazin indicated that MD&S could begin work on my new deck that Monday. I wrote my check for the deposit and signed the contract on Monday, June 15th. In addition, because I located this company through Angie's List and picked MD&S due to the multitude of positive reviews and A-rating, Mr. Sarazin gave me an even better discount than the discount available through Angie's List. | |The guys showed up bright and early Tuesday morning and completed the entire project by Friday evening. I have company coming into town on Friday evening, and was ecstatic that I would be able to entertain on my new deck that weekend. | |Every day of the project I received a call from Mr. Sarazin, checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly and to see if any issues had arisen. I'm sure I have never had a home improvement project go as smoothly and as painlessly as this one. | |Angie Listers, there's a reason why this company has such an exceptional rating and soooooo many positive reviews. They earn it. I would recommend this company in a heartbeat.

Description of Work: We used Maryland Deck and Shed to remove our old wood deck and replace it with a new stone patio. We were very pleased with the end result and with the construction process itself. Jim, the owner, worked closely with us to develop a plan that matched what we were looking for and that fit within our budget. Jim also gave us great design advice during his preliminary visit and several follow-up calls, helping us work in a tree that sits in the middle of the patio's footprint and addressing some other unique features of the project. The team that installed the patio was very pleasant and professional and worked diligently to make sure that the work was completed as quickly as possible. We wouldn't hesitate to use Maryland Deck and Shed again for other projects or to recommend them to others.

Description of Work: Received a call from the owner, Jim today and he was sincerely apologetic about the breakdown in communication. Sometimes these things happen, I guess. Would I take a chance on their services... absolutely. He offered some great advice on the project I'm expecting to do and was very honest and knowledgeable. I plan to use their services to get this done correctly.

As it turns out we did you see several calls from this customer but none were answered. We do not answer blocked calls as they are almost always solicitors wasting our time. When I realize she was calling from a secure area through work I picked up the phone call and we were able to communicate finally. I appreciate this customer giving us a second chance as she was inconvenienced initially. We will make it a point to earn her business and make her happy.

Description of Work: Replaced a thirty tear old deck with a new, slightly modified design which mirrored footprint |and general layout of the old deck while incorporating new features required by new building codes. Unlike the old deck, which was made of cedar, the new deck is designed with composite |materials which should enhance its maintenance. | |The contractor was quickly responsive in fixing details that I brought to their attention. |I am totally delighted with the resulting deck.

Description of Work: F&I: porch 5X10ft maintenance free, dog ramp sturdy, perfect total 18ft with rail & landing, maintenance free also, privacy screen on front porch, were to loosen 3 front stair treads but didn't. |Absolute PERFECTION in construction & in caring about the customer's needs, arriving on time and staying late to complete on time. Only because I am such a neat freek, I just would have liked if they had used tarps to put the dirt & debris on while building the porch..otherwise they kept some order as they worked and before they left each day. There was a slight issue with the material vendor delivering what was ordered but MD Deck & Shed got right on it and brought to site all that was not delivered ASAP. They got the City permit and kept in touch with that office as the job progressed. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to have a porch or deck or anything else built. My darling greyhound with ruptured discs in his back thanks MD Deck and Shed for his fine sturdy safe ramp, landing and small ramp. He shows when going up and down the steep incline that he now feels safe with the rails on the side and all that they did to improve on the incline to make it easier and safer for him to use. All is just beautiful and I could not be happier. Thank You Maryland Deck and Shed especially, Steve, Paul, Rob and Jimmy!! The BEST!!

If there's ever a quote that is received that appears to be unreasonably high or low, I suggest that the customer contact the company and ask for an explanation. Communication is always king, and the best way to unravel misunderstandings. In the case of our company prices can move based on several factors some of them are as follows. Accessibility to the worksite, height of the deck, other permits that may be required to complete the job primarily electric. Every deck is required to have a GFI electrical outlet on the deck area. These are only a few of the things that can impact the price of a deck. Our prices are not the highest and not the lowest. On a scale of 1 to 10 ten being an outrageously high amount and one being a price without a profit . Our prices generally fall in the seven range. We invite our customers to ask questions about pricing. I would also be wary of lower prices. Every year we go back and tear down and rebuild decks that were built by other companies at "discount" prices because the decks are unsafe and have failed or are in the process of failing. We've done that three times so far this year and we only midway in our season. I'm sorry this customer did not pick up the phone or send us an email and ask us about their quote. If nothing else it would have given him something to look at on the other quotes. Always ask questions and be an informed consumer. Unfortunately I could not go back and look at the quote that we gave this person as this was a quote from April of 2014.

Description of Work: I sent a picture of what are current deck looks like and 2 pictures of screened-in porches our neighbors have as examples of what we were looking for. The company representative called and did the estimate over the phone (never came to our home). His estimate was $5000 more than the closest competitor. This came to about 30% more than other contractors also listed on Angie's List.

We never did work for this individual no contract was signed, no money changed hands. As far as never coming out and visiting the job I can't confirm that because there are times when our guys will come out and look at a job without anyone being there. It may be on the way to another job and they want to take a look to know the dealing with. Again I can't confirm that at this point without doing more research than I have time to do. I can't tell you and this is evidenced by the hundred plus reviews below this that as far as our pricing is concerned we generally get A's. Another thing to consider is often times jobs are more complex than people realize. And the cheapest price is not necessarily your best deal. I thank this customer for taking the time to submit the review anyway. It is good to hear not just the good but also when customers are dissatisfied. Unfortunately this is the first I heard of it and this person was not a customer yet they were a potential customer.

I want to think this customer for taking the time to post the review. I noticed that when we were going to the grading on this particular job we got a B for punctuality and not an A. We will be working on that day. We have some crews they travel up to 60 miles to get to a job site. I don't know if that was the case with this particular job but that can make cruise tent to come in a little late and leave early. We want all of our cruise to be starting between 7 and 8 AM depending upon the noise ordinances and the day of the week. I would like them to get a full day and now there's approximately 13 hours of daylight in this time of year. It's good to use that as much as possible. I love this feedback and we will work on getting an A on punctuality. Jim Sarazin owner

Description of Work: We had a really good experience with Maryland Deck and Shed. Starting with our estimate, Steve was very consultative and helped us draw up a plan that really got us what we wanted. (We were enlarging an existing very awkward deck). We had a few hiccups with scheduling but even so the work was finished very quickly. The crew was very professional, worked very hard, and went above and beyond for us.

It went great.
Description of Work: I bought a house with an addition without stairs -- in other words, a sliding glass door opened to a seven-foot drop. I had a landscape architect draw up a suitable plan for a small deck/stairs, and after reading the Angie's List reviews, I chose Maryland Deck and Shed to do the construction, and am glad I did. They did a fantastic job. Really, I have nothing but praise for them. Not only did they steer me toward some great "green" composite material, they went above and beyond, including installing an outdoor outlet without charging me for it. I was a relatively small job for them, I'm sure, but never felt as if I was an afterthought to their bigger projects. I was just chatting with my neighbor, who had to live through a terrible, months-long concrete job/debacle of mine, and she mentioned how professional Maryland Deck were, as compared to the concrete guys. No bickering, etc. Just doing their job, and being pleasant about it. Plus they were nice to my dog. Big bonus points for that.

This is Jim Sarazin, owner of Maryland deck and shed. I'm very sorry for the experience had. I did go back and check every record going back to April and saw nothing from this customer name or the address. I checked back 30 days and still saw no indication of a call. Our system is not perfect, but it does have redundancies. When a call comes in it goes to the office if no one is in the office to answer the call it is forwarded to my personal cell phone. If I still can't get the call a recording will come on allowing a message to be left. Voice recognition software will then push that message in an e-mail to my cell phone, whrer I can retrieve it, I will also see a missed call on my cell phone from the number that tried to get in touch with Maryland deck and shed. If you are a new customer trying to arrange an appointment. It's always best to go to our website www.marylanddeckandshed.com and fill out the request a free estimate form Located on the left-hand side of the webpage. Several times a month we get calls From people thinking they're calling a different company. I don't know if this was the case or not, but I have no record of the call. If somehow it got lost. You have my deepest apologies and an invitation to please call back. My personnel cell number is 443-255-4790 But the best way is still through the webpage.

Description of Work: Called the company and I believe I must have spoken to Randy (don't hold me to that). He suggested to come out and appeared to imply that he preferred that no one be home or certainly seemed to prefer that option, which I thought was very odd and contrary to best practices to get the most reliable idea of what a customer wants. He may have not been available during typical hours but I believe he should have still proposed a date and time and I could have worked from home that day or come home for the estimate and discussion. Afterall, I don't think he was thinking of coming at midnight.This was in reference to a new landing and steps for the back of the house. I advised him that I wanted to be there so he said he would get back to me because someone was having a personal matter - so i said fine. A few days later I spoke with Jim, who left me a message. He agreed to meet me at my house on April 19 at 5pm. I left work early to be home in time. Well, you probably know how this novel will end. He was a "no show." I was already suspicious when i called him on my commute home to confirm and no answer - went to voicemail. I felt like a royal schmuck for leaving work early after having so much work to do. Since this is the only thing I have to rate this company by, I have to give them a big thumbs down because they wasted my time. Although they appear to do good work if they show-up based on what I'm reading in the reviews.

We made a mistake, and for that mistake we apologize deeply to this customer. Although not all the information contained in the review is accurate, unfortunately, the part that is accurate is Maryland Deck and Shed missed an appointment with a customer. We don't take wasting someone’s time (which is ultimately wasting their money) and not meeting their expectations lightly. That's why as of today, we will offer an appointments guarantee. Our guarantee is this- if we miss a scheduled appointment that we have confirmed we will pay that customer $100. We will be putting this appointment guarantee on our website shortly. As far as I know no other decking company has an appointment guarantee. We strive to do the very best we can for every customer and potential customer. Building decks and sheds is our life's work, how we make our living and what we have built a reputation on. When we make a mistake we own up to it and fix it. James T.
