We hired Decks Designed Inc to redo our old deck. The price was very reasonable. We went with the Trex deck to replace an old wooden deck. Lou and his crew did a fantastic job. He said they started at 7:30 am and I could set my watch by that every day.In addition, he was on site everyday, all day. Throughout the process, I was impressed by their professionalism. The deck he was installing followed the same footprint that we had had in place. Lou made a few adjustments here and there and it wound up being a little larger in some spots, much to our delight. When it was time to add stairs to the upper part of the deck, Lou hand made the risers instead of using off the shelf ones. He is truly a master craftsman, and his work shows it. We are very happy with the job that he did and I’m sure you will be too. I highly recommend them.

Lou and his crew were beyond Amazing. He was extremely patient and kind with me on each and every sit down and I had not even signed a contract at this point. Lou was in no way a pushy salesman. He took everyone of my calls and spent as much time with me as needed. I was overwhelmed and confused as to what I wanted, colors, size etc etc and he again was extremely patient and helped me with his professional advice. On the eleventh hour I called to make a color change and Lou was again completely accommodating and was not even upset that I was doing this two days before the job was to begin. I had several deck builders to my home giving me estimates but I chose Lou because of his calm nature, his kindness, the gentleman he is and the reputation he has. Do not hesitate to call him you will be very happy you did. I am ecstatic with his workmanship and my beautiful new deck. Thank you Lou you are a very special man and I am beyond grateful

Lou Marciano and his crew at Decks Designed are wonderful. 16 years ago Lou built us a beautiful, large (740 sq ft) wood deck, replacing an existing one. This past November he replaced that deck with a composite one. At that time they also built a composite front deck for us. (200 sq ft) Decks Designed's work is very professional, with the utmost attention to detail. They are clean, respectful, take their time to get everything perfect--and have built us 2 decks we will enjoy forever!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful my project turned out. Lou and his team were on time, professional, and meticulous. They explained everything to me and the project went smoothly. Afterwards they cleaned up after themselves and I couldn’t love my deck more. I would definitely hire them again and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a deck built or fixed.

Lou and his team did an excellent job of replacing our old deck with a new Trex deck. I can’t say enough good things about the experience and the results. They arrived on time everyday. They were professional, worked hard and paid attention to every detail. The results were a beautiful new deck with every detail taken care of. The ultimate test is would I hire them again. Unquestionably YES! Would I recommend them to friends? Again, unquestionably YES! If you want a deck that looks beautiful, is built on time and has every detail taken care of, then hire Decks Designed.

Lou and the team did a great job and were a pleasure to work with. The quality of the work was high - helping us with design, sturdy construction, and a lot of precise miter cuts. As promised, Lou was on site the entire time. The price was fair and we didn't get nickel and dimed with extra costs for small unexpected items.

Deck Designs Inc. designed a privacy wall and replaced the deck railing on my existing deck. I cannot express what Lou and his team did. My deck looks brand new. He was even kind enough to come back and fix the mistakes done by the previous company. They showed up on time, worked hard and cleaned up after the job was complete. Lou will sit down with you and go over the job. There were no tricks or surprises. He worked side by side with his team. Everyone was very professional and when the job was complete, the results were a beautiful deck that I am going to enjoy for a very long time.

I can't say enough about Lou and his crew. He helped us design a two level deck for our pool and he exceeded my expectations by a mile. They showed up exactly at 7:30 everyday. Cleaned up each day. Lou took care of every concern and need I had for my deck. The quality of work and Lou's attention to the smallest details went way beyond what I expected for a deck. My wife and I thank you Lou!

Lou Marciano and his crew of Anthony, Mauro, Mike and Gus are phenomenal. The demo and footings were accomplished on the first day. Every day they arrived by 7:30 and the power tools started up at 8. They obviously get along well and the professionalism was displayed daily, as attested to by the sheer quality of their work. They installed Trex on both the deck and patio and the results are like something out of a magazine. Each day Lou, who was there with the crew every day, would discuss, if necessary, options and preferences with us regarding placement of the stairs, pool steps, etc. We obviously would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Lou Marciano and his crew were great. They built the deck with Timbertek decking. They were here for six days, on time, cleaned up everything every day. It turned absolutely beautiful. It never has to be replaced. I had just company over and they all loved it. My friend loved mine so much that she hired them to do hers.

.Our experience with Lou was outstanding from beginning to end. He is the consummate professional who is most knowedgeable about his craft. Before we even contracted with him, he was most helpful offering suggestions , showing us photos of work done and giving us leads to contact.. We visited 3 such contacts and they each raved about Lou. Add our names to the list and just from us, there are 4 wonderful recommendations. Once we chose Lou from a group of other qualified deck builders, he carefully explained what he would do. He gave us a fair and reasonable estimate of the work he would complete and we set up a date when he would begin the work. He arrived exactly on time together with his team on the selected date. . From beginning to end, Lou was always on site and was actively involved in designing and re-building our deck. He went above and beyond the call of duty adding details that made the finished product truly outstanding. He was also very approachable and tended to details that we wanted added. He worked diligently with his team and completed the job in 3 days, just as promised. The deck is BEAUTIFUL and is bringing us much joy. We can't thank Lou enough for the absolutely outstanding job he did. We would recommend him highly to others seeking deck construction. .

I called on April 2, 2015, at 9:20 am to ask whether they could check and repair my old deck or whether it needed to be rebuilt. The man answering the phone was monotone, said they don't do repairs, and hung up immediately before I could even say I might need a new one and to ask for estimates. He didn't even say goodbye. VERY, VERY RUDE. I always think the manner of a company's personnel is a good indication of what you'll be dealing with. I wouldn't let these people within a mile of my house.
