DECKorative Additions

We are now in the middle of winter. We have had several parties since the addition of our porch. Many of our friends will spend the entire evening sitting on the porch enjoying the fire. My daughter (8 years old) loves to entertain her play dates on the porch. I have fallen asleep out there many times watching a late game. We invested in top quality wicker couches to add to our enjoyment and it was worth it to place beautiful furniture in a beautiful room (as it seems). The recessed lighting brightens up the room at night. The two skylights add a very nice feel to the porch. The windows fold up to reveal screens that give a great view to the outdoors. This is also a great place to watch the games. With 5 sets of outlets on two different breakers, we have plenty of options for electronic devices. We now have a porch that goes beyond what we were looking for and is the talk of all our friends and family. Stu and Len

It took us almost a year from the time we first met Ken at a home until we selected him as our contractor. Both my wife and felt his honesty from speaking to him and the several clients of his that we met all were very satisfied and happy with his work and we were very happy with the work we saw. A rainy spring and some mistakes in material deliveries slowed the project, but we wanted it right and not by any particular date. His employees were courteous and the couple of subs that were used all did a very fine job. I grew up in and worked in the construction business and I know what weather and delivery problems can do to a schedule and i never felt he was delaying us to do other work. So as we previously said we are very pleased to the addition to our home and very happy we did it and had Ken did it.Gary and Livia

Without getting into a long story, the screens kept coming out. When we called to have them come fix them, they accused us of knocking them out. We explained that we had strong winds in our back yard. Then they said that it was unusual circumstances because they had never had anything like that happen before. When eventually we got the BBB involved, they said we had no contract with them since they were hired through our contractor, so they didn't need to warrant the work. Eventually, they said they'd do the work for a charge and they gave us a verbal idea of how much it would be. They sent an invoice for much higher than they stated. He was also very rude and after they fixed it (and we paid for it), two of the screens came out again. Not desiring to work with them again, we fixed them ourselves and no screen has come undone at all since that time a couple of years ago, so they obviously had not done a very high quality job.

We thought they were very professional in their approach, their drawings were very good, they listened to what we had to say, and the workers were good about showing up on time.

We are in the process of getting the permission from the home owner's association. They are very personable. I wanted to put a different kind of screen for the porch so he did some research and came up with different designs for me.
