JM Decks & Fences

Christopher was great from the beginning. He was very professional and attentive, with lots of ideas for my project. His crew was great, very professional, punctual, and again los of ideas and options. I will hire them again.

I highly recommend JM Decks & Fences. They recently replaced wooden railings on my deck with aluminum rails with solar lights on the posts, designed a privacy screen on my deck and patio, and installed a vinyl roof under the deck to create a large dry entertainment area in inclement weather. Every representative I dealt with, from the initial contact with Antonio, to the crew and administrative staff, were knowledgeable and extremely professional. The crew lead by Oscar were amazing, arrived punctually and cleaned up when work was completed. To give them an A+ is an understatement. The Company’s founding statement that outdoor living is an art, not an afterthought – clearly describes their approach to creating innovative solutions for clients.

We interviewed several firms and picked JM because of their experience and professionalism. They completed the project in a timely fashion. They kept us well informed along the way. The work was high quality. Our deck is large and was in poor shape. The resurfaced deck is TimberTech PVC with a wire railing topped with a rail matching the deck floor [cocktail rail.] It's very beautiful. We strongly recoommend the company.

JM Decks and Fences went above and beyond our expectations and I could not recommend them enough for your job. Our need was to remove old decking and railing and replace with PVC/composite decking boards and aluminum railing. Antonio, Wilber and Christopher were all great to work with. Pricing very competitive and fair. These guys are masters at deck building and left the area cleaner than when they arrived. Good communication and would definitely use them again should the need arise.

Excellent workmanship and customer service in resurfacing our deck. I would use them again.

Our project was a large screened porch with a deck. We were so pleased with the porch that we had JM build a six foot fence for our back yard. While these were large projects, JM Decks & Fences were five-star throughout. We had contacted several contractors before JM: some never responded, others thought the job was too large or too complicated. From the outset, Antonio from JM made it clear that he and JM knew what they were doing, from the materials they would use, to the slope and configuration of the roof, to the size of the porch and deck, to details like layout of the floor boards. From the consultation to the completion of the project, Antonio was with us throughout. The proposal and contract that spelled out the details of the project and pricing was comprehensive and very professional. Christopher in the front office kept us posted on timelines, inspections, and any follow-up items. Their electrician made some suggestions on lights and outlets that have greatly enhanced our enjoyment of this new space. The carpenters that built the porch/deck are true craftsmen: the details in the build are truly impressive and special. We cannot say enough about how good these guys are. We have gotten compliments from neighbors, inspectors, and other contractors on the quality of job. We absolutely love our new outdoor living space! Once the porch and deck were completed, we asked JM for pricing to replace our old backyard fence. Like the porch, we got the same professional estimate, detailing materials and style. Within a month we had a brand new 6-foot fence with gates. The fence shows the same high quality craftsmanship and materials as the porch. Overall, JM Decks and Fences are the real deal: awesome service, outstanding craftsmen, reasonable pricing. Five stars all the way!

Given the COVID/supply chain/labor availability during Spring 2022, Jm arrived in a timely fashion and worked non-stop until completion, with a four-person crew. They did a very solid job - much better than original deck. Kept us informed as they progressed, and we worked through one unexpected issue with a stairway with excellent results. Did a very good job of clean-up. Price was about 2/3rds of a competing bid.

I worked with Antonio and the JM Team on our deck and they did a great job. What convinced me to choose JM was their knowledge of the details and I am very glad I chose them. Their craftsmanship and follow-through on every detail of their work was excellent.

JM Decks and Fences did an amazing job on replacing my entire deck and finishing my privacy fence in the back yard! I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! I worked with Christopher on all of the details from the initial consultation to the design, meeting with inspectors and execution of the job! The guys who did the work were so meticulous and professional. They went the extra mile and put a nice little mounding around each post and that added detail really made it shine. Thanks so much for the best contracted experience I’ve had since moving to NC!

We found JM Decks to be great to work with as we went through the design phase for a new deck off the back of our house and they did an amazing job working with the local permitting office to help us navigate some of the unexpected roadblocks that can pop up from time to time on projects when you live near rivers/streams. We would certainly use them again!

This team was amazing. Professional, paid attention to details. Did not skip on steps. Job was done perfectly. They worked till the job was done,cleaned up after themselves. I would strongly recommend them. Would use them again,but there will be no need because this deck is here to stay. It was done the right way.. But definitely will hire them again. Would happily show my deck.

After an initial email they were very responsive to setup an appointment for an estimate. Their representative came out, took measurements and provided a price to do the work. A week later I reached out to him, no response. I continued to call the office, text the estimator, and nothing. I finally got someone on the phone to see a color sample, which they never sent. Finally, after 3 more calls I received a proposal to sign for the work. However, this was 1600 more than what I was confidentially quoted. Which I reached back out to the PM who sent the proposal, he said it’s the PM’s call and it’s the new price. I explained I was quoted a much cheaper price. Instead of finding some middle ground, or him accepting his employees quote, even it was wrong, the PM said sorry for being out of my budget. Companies that are unresponsive and do not honor their estimators price are untrustworthy. Accept some responsibility. It’s not like I haggled for the original amount I was quoted. The updated quote, or as Antonio and Chris like to call the official proposal, was 30% different. That is not what I would call a small difference.

Not well. Salesman missed 4 appointments. No calls no explanations. Left behind sample case.

The work that Antonio, Danny and their team performed was outstanding!! The work was completed on schedule and Antonio was very responsive in addressing any concerns. The team completed a Deck Rebuild (Widen steps, Added lattice and gravel underneath) and a Patio (Stone Pavers w/ a bench). The only issue that I had was that the team was supposed to stain my deck after the main job was complete and weather was better, however I didn't get a response back to complete that work after multiple attempts to follow up. I would still highly recommend Antonio's team.

After searching and receiving estimates for a new deck, I decide to go with J&M Decks and fences. First, they are the only one that submitted a contract specifying the details. Second, the communications where great. Third, they gave updates and showed up on the day they said they would come. Fourth, any details that I thought should be taken care of, were dealt with without objections. An example was that the tips of the railings extended slightly below the bottom edge. This was taken care of by using a sander. Inspections by the city where approved the same day. Had one inspector that demanded a new survey because it was 2 feet wider. This would not have any impact on the property setbacks, nevertheless. I complied with it. They were not pressuring me for the final payment until all inspections passed. Slightly higher than the competition, however, the old saying is applicable, “you get what you pay for.”

JM Decks and fences is the best . They put my fence up in one day . I am loving my new fence they were on time , the material was high quality , The price I was quoted beat the competiton . I will reccomend them to my neighbors for all Decks , fences , hardscaping . We are using them to do our Patio and Deck next . The quality is unmatched !!b Thank you JM Decks and Fences you have a customer for life !

Very pleased with Antonio and his crew. Prompt communication and high quality work. Anytime we needed an answer Antonio was responsive and would action immediately. We would absolutely hire again.

Great people to work with, they cleaned up after the job,and it was a great experience

Was never contacted by the contractor.

Antonio and his team were fantastic to work with. From the beginning, Antonio was super responsive and patient as I picked out the materials for the project. He even made several trips to my house to bring different samples. The guys that installed the patio did great work. The amount of attention the guys paid to the little details of the project was much appreciated. I’d highly recommend JM Decks & Fence for any patio work.

Antonio and his crew did a great job on my project. They were professional and friendly. The work and materials were of good quality, workmanship outstanding, and pricing very fair. I highly recommend.

JM Decks & Fences did a wonderful job on my recent backyard renovation. Firstly, they removed our 10+ year old deck and rebuilt it. They also installed a hardscape/patio in our back yard as well as a fire pit. JM Decks & Fences were very professional and communicative. It was a pleasure working with them. We are very happy with their work and the final product. Happy to provide recommendations.

Started looking for contractors in November and settled on JM Fencing and Decks in February. Very reasonably priced and good reviews. The only holdup I had was my HOA granting me architectural approval. Antonio was great to work with -- no pressure but responded promptly to my questions. Once approved (Durham permit) JM had the materials at my house within the week -- and started to build the next day. The county was there while they built to approve the footings. Everything scheduled to accommodate the tight deadline. The lumber was just what you would expect for exterior job -- sturdy. It was only once the work was done that I realized how bad my original deck looked. No more stepping on nails popping up too. Decking screwed to the joists. I am more than pleased with the work and have no problem recommending.

The owner of the company really went out of his way to get this project completed for me ASAP and the fence looks so good!

The crew started and finished on dates stated in agreement. The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and left my property clean when finished.
