Description of Work: They resurfaced a portion of an existing deck with Trex Transcend boards, relocated/added 7 support columns, and extended the current deck by 120 sq ft. The crew was extremely fast and did an excellent job.

Description of Work: Decks Unlimited built our deck several years ago and we were very happy with their work so when we wanted to replace the railing with a maintence free product we contacted them. The owner had great suggestions and was good to work with. We added a lockable gate at the top of the stairs and love the new look of our deck. | | | | |

Description of Work: They built a custom deck exactly to my specifications and design. They came on time and got right to work and actually finished the project sooner than we expected. We are extremely happy with the result. | |While they weren't the least expensive builder we considered, the cost was definitely worth it.

Randy from Decks Unlimited was great! They completed the work quickly. He is now my "DECK GUY" so if we need any repairs or when we eventually replace our deck Randy will be our first call!
Description of Work: We needed our deck (that was put in by a previous owner) repaired because the post came off the base due to a cement slab heaving in our backyard and we needed new decorative wood caps for the post. I called Randy and he came out in less than a week and gave us an assessment of the situation. Then within a few days one of his employees came by and fixed our deck -- awesome project is done!!!

Decks Unlimited was very busy when we contacted them in August, but Randy was good about staying in touch and expressing interest in our project. We met in September and had a very productive brainstorming session. Randy listened carefully to our ideas, and he made some excellent suggestions. We scheduled the building for November, and Randy started on time and finished in a few days. He used high quality materials and did an expert job. The deck is even better than we had initially envisioned. We would definitely call on Decks Unlimited again for future projects.
Description of Work: Randy at Decks Unlimited built a small (6x8) deck and stairs off the back door of our house. He also put in a sliding door below the deck. Instead of picket railing around the deck, we got glass so we can enjoy an unimpeded view of the backyard. The whole thing is terrific.

The deck started a couple of days later than we thought, but that could be due to a miscommunication. This was a 3 week project, and the work that was done was high quality. Everything we asked to be done was completed, and the quality of the work was high. I would recommend Decks Unlimited, and would strongly suggest if you have a project, that you make sure they are one of the companies that you have bid on the project. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Built a porch and new deck, put in new footings and replaced a cracked beam. We were looking for a low maintenance deck so the flooring and top of the railings were plastic and porch was cedar. We had bid this project out to 3 companies, and Decks Unlimited had the best price and very good advice. I met with Randy in person on 2 occasions and spoke with him on the phone a couple of times before we made a decision. We were very comfortable with Randy and his company.

We obtained quotes from multiple highly rated Angie's list providers and are very happy that we went with Randy at Decks Unlimited. Not only was Randy the most responsive, but he was also the only one with a clear and creative solution to repair a portion of our large deck. When we decide to replace the rest of the deck, we will definitely be giving Randy a call.
Description of Work: Randy replaced a portion of our large deck. He removed the rotting wood and built a sturdy and attractive removable section that enables us to gain access underneath our low lying deck.

I called for a free estimate and Randy came out to the house, right on time. We got several estimates but his presentation was the best. He really showed us what we could expect and answered our questions. During the whole process, Randy was always there to answer our questions. Despite some bad weather, the crew showed up and tore our old deck down and hauled it away. They built a new, larger deck in its place. The crew was very nice, and their craftsmanship was great. The new deck is beautiful! They really went the extra mile to make it a nice experience. And all for a very fair price. I would highly recommend Decks Unlimited to anyone who wants a high quality deck for a competitive price.

Randy kept his promises; that it would happen within three weeks of my contracting with his company and it took @ six hours to complete the work. He and his workmen were professional, did all the things promised and left everything clean when finished. Because this was a small job (replacing a condo deck) I wasn't expecting much. Randy was able to promise just the same as two other contractors, but also brought unexpected design creativity, he made suggestions for details that would make a small, plain deck easily the nicest one in my neighborhood at really not great additional cost. The deck is made of composite materials and I will never have to do a thing to maintain it. There were a few minor things that needed attention after completion and he personally saw to it these were taken care of quickly. The experience was to say the least, a blessing.
Description of Work: Provider met with me and gave me a free estimate. Within three weeks (a specified timeframe) he and his company removed an existing 10 X 10 foot cedar deck and relocated my air conditioning unit, and replaced a cedar deck with a composite deck within a days work.

Considering the difficulty of what they had to do, they did a good job. Everyone was very helpful and they talked me through the process. It was positive.
Description of Work: I used Decks Unlimited to remove an old finish that was a solid surface so it was more than just having to renew the stain. They had to remove the old and put on the new.

They were very easy to work with and did a wonderful job on our deck. Randy came out and gave us a bid - he had some great ideas on a few quirks we had to work through in the design. When they came to do the job I felt they had one of the most professional crews that I've seen. They worked very hard and paid attention to the details that really makes it look incredible. We were very satisfied with every aspect of this project - so nice to work with a company like this.
Description of Work: They added to our current deck structure and replaced the decking.

The owner Randy came out the very next day. He was on time and very knowledgeable. We have a walkout with a small back yard and did not want the stairs to take up much yard space. Without hesitation, he said 'I know what you can do'. When I posed this same question to the other contractors who came out, all were puzzled and said there was nothing that could be done because we had a walkout basement and there needed to be so many steps to get to the ground. We also were not sure if we were too close to the property line. Randy called the town on the spot, and got an answer in about 5 mins that we could do what he proposed. He then made a drawing and gave us a quote on the spot based on what seemed very objective- it was based on number of footings, sq feet, etc. He also came out prepared with samples and a portfolio to show us. I would very much consider hiring him but we are finishing our basement now and the deck will need to wait til spring. The only issue was I thought the price was a little high. Then after getting other bids, I realized that he was in the ballpark. I believe you get what you pay for and his pictures looked very good that he showed us.
Description of Work: Requested a quote on building a deck with maintenance free materials. No current deck on the home.

They gave us an estimate and were very professional and did the work. The work was done when they said it would be done and for what they said it would cost. I would rate them overall an A and would use them again if needed.
Description of Work: I used Decks Unlimited about a month ago for some work on the deck. The deck originally was glued to the house and crashed, and they had to jack it up and put rivets in and attach properly to the house.

My wife wanted a 3-season porch added to our house. Previous contractors told her that they could not do it due to the fact that our bedroom windows are right where the roof needed to be. Randy came out and showed us a plan that would work perfectly for our house - no hassles, no - you can't do thats. He had the plan and references - we signed on the spot. Work was delayed for a few days due to the city - but once they started, his crew booked through it. Very happy with the finished product.

Randy called me back within a few hours of contacting him. He was willing to come out the same day. Because of our scheduling needs he came out within a few days. He listened to our questions regarding the integrity of our deck. After examing the deck he felt it was still in good shape. He did do a few repairs. The job was completed in a timely manner. He was prompt, knowlegable, price conscious, and honest.
Description of Work: We moved into our current home and had concerns regarding the integrity of the deck and possibly needing a new deck. After looking over the mutiple reviews on a number of Deck Professionals, I contacted about 5 of them for estimates. Decks Unlimited struck me by the glowing review by an individual who did not end up using Randy and his team. He did mention the lengths Randy went to research a particular material he was planning on using.Randy answered my call promptly and was willing to come out the same day for an estimate. After looking at our deck he was honest that we did not need much work done. He repaired the necessary items. Though he did not build us a new deck I did take time to review his portfollio which I found impressive. Randy was prompt, knowledgable, price conscious and honest. In the end this is everything I was looking for. We plan to build a new deck in the next few years and would definitely go to Randy first.

I got estimates from four different companies and liked Randy's company the best. He came in with a good price, listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly that. It was a great experience working with Randy. He built my deck in a day, I went to work in the morning and came home the same night to a completed deck. I absolutely love it and am very happy I went with Deck's Unlimited. I had Randy put lattice down on the bottom of the deck and he did a great job, the lattice looks very nice and the way he trimmed it out is beautiful. I had him build 3 benches, one long that I can put across the back of the deck and two smaller benches for the sides. The benches are very well constructed and free standing so that I can move them around the deck to where I want them or leave them where they are. He also made a little overhang on the sides of the decks which looks really nice. I think that they did a great job and I would highly recommend Deck's Unlimited to anyone if you are thinking of building a deck.
Description of Work: I had a 10' x 14' foot deck added onto the back of my house. I also had 3 benches that I had him make up and put on the deck.

I wanted to build a deck at the back of my house. I asked 4 Vendors to provide me with a quote. Randy come over promptly and educated me about various options. He was able to design the deck and provide on the spot quote. Over the next 2 weeks I asked him many questions over the phone and email. Every single phone call and email was returned promptly. He was veyr enjoyable to work with. During this period I came to know about Brazilian Hardwood called Ironwood/IPE. Randy told me that he had never built a deck with it. However he went ahead, did research and learned how to build a deck with IPE. If I had chosen to build a deck with Cedar or AZEK he would have built my deck. He had built decks for my friends and many people in my neighborhood. I almost felt bad not choosing him. I chose another deck builder due to their experience with building IPE decks. I will consider using them again in future and will not hesitate to recommend them.
