Steve Folsom and his crew, led by Thomas, turned our 'rough' idea for a screened-in porch into reality in an amazingly short amount of time and with wonderful results! From the beginning, Steve was wonderful in walking us through our seemingly endless number of questions we about the porch and various options. Once we settled on things and got the project going, we were introduced to Thomas and his crew--a great group of guys who were all very respectful, courteous and very good at cleaning up each day after they finished working. As with all large projects, we had a few hiccups along the way and Steve handled them in stride and helped us make decisions that we were comfortable with and made sense in the context of what we were trying to accomplish. It quickly became obvious that Steve and his crew really cared about the project and wanted it done right. They weren't just trying to get in and get out. We are completely satisfied (way beyond satisfied) and recommend Archadeck and Steve without hesitation. You might find cheaper contractors (we found Steve's prices to be reasonable--not the lowest, but not the highest), but I think you will be unlikely to find someone with as much experience as Steve and his crew, not to mention a group of people that really care about your project like it is their own. Give Steve a call, you won't be disappointed.
Description of Work: Design and construct a screened in porch, including addition of 8 foot sliding glass door from the house into the porch. Porch includes tongue/groove ceiling, ceiling fan, fireplace and indirect lighting.

Steve Folsom is professional, courteous, always punctual and sticks to his word. His crew, lead by Thomas, were awesome! I've never had a crew who made sure when they left for the day each day of construction that EVERYTHING was picked up and neatly secured. The roof line for the porch was tricky and the crew did an awesome job of making it work. Any potential obstacle to our vision for our project they managed to work out a solution. Archadeck is not entirely a turn-key solution but the contractors they recommended were high quality as well. Be prepared to oversee the work of contractors that do landscaping and painting. We were also responsible for obtaining our screen door and our ceiling fan for the porch. I would (and already have) recommend Archadeck to anyone considering a deck and or screened porch for their home. The level of professionalism from everyone we interacted with was outstanding and the quality of the work superb. As contractors, they were mid-range in the prices gathered from other contractors. What thrills me the most is they could make our vision for the deck and porch (minimal railings) happen and the view of our back yard will give us enjoyment for years. Thanks, Archadeck!

I set up the appt. Steve came out and looked at the project. He answered my questions and took measurements. Said he would send me a bid by the next week. That came and went without any word from him. I called the following week and did get a bid (I guess) in email form. Basically, it was just an email that said he could do the work on the deck for around $17,000.00. There was no breakdown whatsoever on the materials that would be used or the size it would be. I was wanting some concrete work done and a pergola built as well (all of this info was given to him at initial phone call), but when he came out I think he said that he didn't do any of that. Maybe the job was too big for him? I just wish he would have told me that when he initially came out. If he was interested in the work, I might have considered it if I had a real estimate with a little more detail than one sentence. So I hired another company and I have a wonderful new outdoor space exactly like I wanted.

Steve Folsom is quite simply the best contractor with whom we have ever worked. During the bid process, he was always on time, responsive to follow-up questions, and thorough in his explanations. His prices were not the lowest, but they were in the ballpark of other quotes we got and we were so much more comfortable dealing with him than the other contractors we met that it was really a no-brainer to pay a little more for quality. We are so glad we made that decision. Steve and his team actually started and completed the job earlier than scheduled - that's right, I said earlier. His team was highly professional, and they all were just very nice people we were happy to have at our house. If you are looking into building a deck, covered patio, or screened-in porch, we have two pieces of advice after going through the process. First, it's a lot more expensive than you're probably thinking it will be. It took us a while to understand this and reconcile it by getting several bids. That ended up being wasted time - we wish we would have just gone with Archadeck from the start and had another month to enjoy our new outdoor space. Second, go with Archadeck and you will never regret it. Steve is friendly and honest with an unparalleled attention to detail that was very much appreciated. We wish we could use him for every project at our house!
Description of Work: Construction of a 20'x14' screened-in porch, attached to house via a new door that replaced an existing window. This included electrical (lights, fan, outlets). This also involved replacing an existing exterior staircase.
Our experience with Steve and his crew, led by Thomas, was top notch professional from beginning to end. Our porch is not only beautiful, but we will have it for many years. It's solid and feels like just another room to the house. The sub-contractors Steve uses for electrical and plumbing were as top notch as he is. We would definitely recommend Archadeck to anyone looking to build an outdoor living space, deck or porch.
Description of Work: Large screened in porch with gas fireplace, two entrances/exits, two fans, and Ipe flooring.

Steve came out on 6/13 and looked over the area & made recommendations. He then gave us a bid a few days later. When we agreed to give our business to Archadeck, Steve was courteous enough to drive out to my office with the contract so I could sign and get us on the schedule. Since our project was a little smaller than some of the others they were working on they were able to squeeze us in on 7/7. Steve showed up promptly on Monday to look over the area and tell us what the workers would be doing. The workers came daily and were always punctual and courteous. They listened to what our specific requests were as far as detail/design and kept us updated. They completed the project on Thursday 7/10. 4 days and now we have a beautiful gray Azek deck with 2 wood pergolas, one over the deck and the other over our patio area. Steve had recommended that we wait 1-2 months before painting the pergolas white, so the paint would last 5-6 years. We will wait, paint and then should have a virtually maintenance free area for many years. I would recommend Archadeck to anyone wanting quality outdoor living areas. Steve and his group are knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. Pricing is a little higher than other places, but you get what you pay for.

The Archadeck representative told me to go hire a carpenter; that they only provided under deck ceilings on deck that they build. The fact that I already had a deck was of no interest. This is something that I would do myself if I was 30 to 40 years younger. I was unimpressed with the abrupt approach of the Archadeck representative.

Everything went great from start to finish. We met with five contractors to solicit bids, and Steve far and away spent the most time with us to explain options, suggest design plans and to address any and all questions we had. He really left us with a good impression from day one, and was never pushy before we hired him. Steve worked us with to stay within our budget. The job came in right on price and a little ahead of schedule. No surprise change orders or charges. Very smooth sailing. Communication from Steve was superb. He explained every detail of the process before construction started, and went through a detailed list of items with us two days before his crew arrived to make sure everyone was ready and the project would go smoothly. He kept us updated throughout the process on the status of things. He visited the job daily and his crews were top notch - very skilled, professional and courteous. Steve was very accessible via his cell phone or e-mail, and always responded to voice-mails or e-mails promptly. He always encouraged questions from us and made our peace of mind, and even minor requests, a priority. Steve is very organized and professional, and clearly takes a lot of pride in the quality and workmanship of his jobs. Just about every detail worked out exactly according to the plans Steve planned out. With the exception of some minor finishing touches, the whole job was completed in the span of two weeks, just as Steve said it would be, even after the better part of two days were lost due to rain. We passed city inspection without any problems. We would highly recommend touching base with Archadeck if you are interested in a new deck, remodel, etc. It was a pleasure to work with Steve.
Description of Work: Removed old, non-screened-in cedar deck and replaced with new deck with screened-in porch using Azek floorboards and rails. Three electrical outlets and a ceiling fan were installed in the porch. Re-configured and re-positioned stair case by adding a landing part way down to better accommodate steep slope of our backyard.

Steve was prompt in getting back to us when we called and great to work with. His passion for the design and willingness to do it the way we wanted it was refreshing. We got a much lower bid for what we feel ended up being better quality than the others who bid on the job. The crazy winter/spring weather was the only thing that held us up. We practically LIVE out there now. The Epi wood that he likes to use is so rich in color and makes a stunning frame for the room. He also recommended someone to help us with our patio and that turned out great as well. Everyone we were in touch with regard to this project was professional, respectful and hard working. We asked for a doggy door to be incorporated and that was added with no problem. So great to still be able to just open the door from the kitchen to let the dogs in and out. Can't say enough about how well this project went and how happy we are that we chose Steve Folsom to work with.

I sent a mesage inquiring about their experience and interest in doing structural repair work on my external deck. Steve responded promptly and explained that they focus on larger complete build projects. The prompt and courtious response was appreciated but the A rating was based on Steve taking the time to give me some direction and reference to the Angies List category that would provide better results for the work I need to have done.

Steve was very organized and his response times are excellent. He had a 3 man crew working on the job and they were all very professional and courteous and prompt. The quality of their work seems far superior to any projects we have had done in the past. Steve originally provided computerized sketches of our project and when we followed up with his references we were convinced Archadeck was the company for our job. We were not disappointed in any way. We would highly recommend Archadeck for your additions or remodels.

They performed in a professional manner in all of the categories connected to the construction project. We would highly recommend this firm to anyone that desires a very high end construction project.

The project went well. His price was in line with other estimates I received. Steve is very professional and detail-oriented. He was the only company that took the time to walk through everything and understand what we were trying to do. In hindsight, we didn't really know exactly what we wanted to do when we started the process, but Steve really helped us figure things out. His sub-contractors are all professional and very friendly. They needed to get into the house to install a new window and run electrical and we had now worries about them being there without us being present. His team worked diligently for the 3 weeks or so it took to complete and finished everything off nicely. I had a couple of quesitons/concerns about aspects of the project and both Steve and his team took the time to explain things to me and change things, as necessary, to alleviate my concerns. I should note that my concerns were specific to things I wanted (e.g. I wanted a couple of footings done a particular way), but didn't talk to Steve about it in advance. They altered the footings to the way I wanted with no hassle or pushback. To be honest, everything they did was top-notch. I'll use them again.

The experience dealing with Steve Folsom and his team was absolutely the best experience I have ever had with a construction project. He thoroughly went through our ideas and planned a design focussing on our needs for the porch. He followed all legal and appropriate city codes and permits. Steve always kept us informed of everything from start date to installation of roof, to completion. UNBELIEVABLE ! Any issues arising were discussed with us prior to taking action. Steve's crew were respectful, hard working and dependable. The entire work site was cleaned up daily. All ancillary workers such as electricians, plumbers, roofers, and inspectors arrived exactly when we were told. Steve runs his business like a well oiled machine. At the end of the project, everything was completed per our contract and to our satisfaction. There isn't anything I would change about this whole building experience!
Description of Work: The old deck was removed and replaced with a screened porch requiring a new roof line. We also had our roof replaced at the same time, chronology all handled by Steve.

I could not have ask for a better experience working with Archadeck. The crew that did the work over 3 weeks was always on time and frankly never took breaks through out the day. All outside contracting for plumbing, roofing, and gutters were handled by Archadeck as well and they always showed up on time when they were needed. I do not have a single complaint. Their price was a little higher than others that I contacted but felt the work they do was worth the extra money I paid. I have had had work done in the past with other contractors and ended up arguing over a lot of issues. With Archadeck, everything was clear and the owner would stop by every morning to explain what they had done and what would be done that day. You were always informed where you were in the project. I chose Archadeck based on the finish work that they do and feel I got every bit of what I paid for and have no complaints. I would use them again in a heart beat.

They responded promptly to all of our requests and questions. Steve provided much helpful information and guidance from beginning to end. They started when they said they would, and stayed with it until the project was finished. The workers were pleasant, dignified and professional. The materials used and the construction work were excellent quality. They cleaned up completely when finished. They went beyond the requirements of the job, at no extra charge. They went to significant extra effort, and some expense, to repair some exposed areas in adjacent siding, which had been damaged by incorrect construction of the previous deck. They also found an exposed electrical wire, which they enclosed in a safety box which they provided. In addition, Steve showed me some areas of potential future problems in the siding due to the previous deck. Because of their excellent performance in all respects, I recommend them for any award that Angies's List currently has available.
Description of Work: They tore down our old deck and disposed of all of it. Then they built a new deck with higher quality materials, in accordance with our agreement.

Archadeck and Steve Folsom deserve an A++++. Top notch professional, extremely trustworthy and very knowledgeable ... that's how I would review Steve and this company. We were anticipating that our deck would need major repair or replacement. We called Steve out to take a look at our deck. Steve was extremely responsive and punctual in coming out to evaluate our deck. Steve carefully assessed the deck and provided an honest evaluation. No repairs and no new deck were needed!!! Steve took the time to explain the condition of our deck and answer all of our questions completely. Steve is a man of integrity!!! Archadeck is the BEST!!!

They must not need anymore work as the owner came out 6 weeks ago and has not followed up wih us at all. Completely unprofessional and a waste of our time. I am not sure how they have received such high ratings when they can not even supply a simple estimate or at leat a follow up call. I would say they do not have time to take on any other jobs.

We apologize for the apparent misunderstanding may have been caused for this member. At the time of the visit we gave a rough price range for the proposed project and it was our understanding that the homeowner would get back to us if they wished to follow up further on the project. We will certainly contact the homeowner with some further information.

Steve was incredibly professional and was very responsive when answering our questions. Overall Steve was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the pros and cons of all material options giving us confidence in the choices we made. Steve was also very flexible going so far as to work with a product he was not as familiar with when we expressed how we really wanted all LED lighting. While discussing various possibilities of the project it truly felt like he was trying to guide us in a way to maximize our value rather than simply increase project cost. When it came time to get going, Thomas and the crew were always on time, very polite, and very efficient in getting the work done right. The finished product is a fantastic looking deck that should stay that way for a long time. Steve also recommended a landscaping company to do the patio underneath the deck. We ended up going with them and have been very happy with their work as well. So additionally we appreciate his referral for other professional services.
Description of Work: Steve and crew tore down our existing 10'x12' cedar deck and built a new 14'x22' capped composite with led post and stair lighting, obtaining all required permits, and disposing of the demolished deck.
