Jon Dimich Deck Creations, LLC

The experience working with Jon was a series of one problem after another. Jon had zero attention to detail and no control over his subcontractor performing the work. Even the subcontractor (not employee) would complain about working with Jon and how he would not let him use the right materials to do the job correctly. Of the many issues, here are but a few: the project started out over a month late, my perfectly good cedar fascia that we discussed keeping was removed and destroyed. The removal of my old decking around the perimeter of my screened porch became a problem and was not removed as discussed (because it was the easiest way, not the right way ) leaving only a poor option to complete it. Only some of the older trusses were replaced even though the number one reason we replaced the old decking in the first place was the trusses had become warped. After upgrading to new Trex fascia I was left an installation that looked awful, two different materials for fasica were used that are different thicknesses and different dimensions and are not mitered together. (see photos) According to the subcontractor installing it Jon wanted to use the extra deck boards for part of the fascia to save money. In the photos this is thicker material used in the horizontal sections. Jon also spliced some of the stair fascia to save money. All during this process Im stuck in a triangle between the subcontractor trying to manage the project and Jon who is not on site. Based on the price I paid I would have expected a contractor who cared about the end product and would follow through with what was promised. I paid for a high quality contractor to put in top of the line Trex decking and Im left with a horrible installation of the fascia which I will end up removing and replacing it myself as Jon will not take any responsibility to his shoddy installation. Take a look at new construction and decking and you wont find a single one that is put together as poorly and looks as bad as mine.

The deck was installed a year ago. It costs too much. The estimate was $35,000. It was an expensive job I had a deck, but they had to almost install a new one because not quite, but they had to. They extended the deck, and they put under the deck towers, so that water can develop. So, I can put fans and light. They installed new footings. So, it was quite expensive. There was a deck before. They did it bigger. The deck flooring, more railings. So, it was about $35,000. I didn't like them very much because once I signed the contract the setup did not go according to plan it took ages. So, basically they did a good job, that's the main thing. They did a fairly good job; it's a nice deck they have built. It took weeks and weeks to finish and he would not come and finish the last small job and things like that. I would say yes, he made a nice deck, but I will not call him back. On the price, he was pricey. Never again.

It was good. They were responsive, timely and affordable. I was working with the owner.
