Pro Deck

We called ProDeck along with a couple other deck companies early in the summer to replace our aging elevated deck. ProDeck was the only to provide references and photos as well BBB and Angie's List reports prior to even meeting with us. Once they came out, their bid was not only the lowest, but the most complete. Because of scheduling, the work didn't begin until September. We knew this in advance and Frank called to give us a heads up that they were coming. They very carefully cleared off our deck and did an excellent job of blocking off our back door with CAUTION tape for safety. From there the job continued smoothly with delays only for inspections and weather. Frank, the owner who originally met with us in June, came out several times to talk with the crew, meet with us and oversee the work. The deck is beautiful and complete now and we are looking forward to using it for many years to come.

I had my new deck built in the middle of the summer! Understandably, this is a deck builders' busy season! Frank told me straightup it might take eight weeks before he could start, and it was. I was patient ,and now I have beautiful deck that make neighbors envious! Thanks Prodeck!

Initially, I sat down with Frank and walked him thru what I was envisioning. Frank's very passionate about this stuff and had a lot of good ideas. He drew up the designs and dealt with permitting. The main crew was led by Rodney. Great guy -- enjoyed getting to know him. He was very dedicated and did an amazing job getting the whole project to come to life. I'm really excited about the end product. The porch looks fantastic and we're excited to be able to use it for many years to come! I definitely recommend Pro Deck!

Their designer workmanship was superb and we were happy with them. Their price was very competitive compared to all the other bids we got. They were very easy to work with and highly recommend them. I may use them in future.

I would highly recommend this company. They are highly professional and friendly. The finished product was perfect.

I obtained three qotations for the job, and Pro Deck was the lowest. More importantly, Frank Iafolla, the owner, provided the contact and gave several options for the job, He took me (and later, my wife) to see other installations using the Trex materials to demonstrate its superiority in appearance and functionality. He scheduled the job at our convenience. He suggested a slight design improvement, which we accepted. His two-man crew worked efficiently and perormed a few extra services at no additional cost. Frank appeared on the job every day to see how it was going and if we had any concerns or additional requests.

WOW!! If you want a high quality screened porch, built by a great bunch of folks at a reasonable price, then look no further!! I worked directly with the owner (Frank Iafolla) to come up with a custom design, based on my needs and Frank's great input. After signing the contract, Frank did a great job keeping me informed of the status of when they could start. One thing that HIGHLY impressed me was that, unlike everyone else I talked to, he did not ask for any money down -- I didn't pay a nickel until the job was done and approved by the inspectors. This alone says a lot about how Frank does business. Start to finish took about 6 weeks, but normally would be less. They did some preliminary work on mine when they had down time on their primary job while waiting for inspections. Frank has 4 crews working for him and the quality of mine was absolutely top notch. Hard for me to believe, but Frank says they are ALL that good. The lead man agonized over every detail -- you would have thought he was building the porch for himself. You would not believe how hard these guys worked in 90+ degree heat with the blazing sun beating down on them. The underpinnings of the porch are massive -- this thing is built to last (and Frank guarantees it for his lifetime). It was expertly tied into the existing house making it look like they were built at the same time. The craftsmanship on the porch is suburb -- it is absolutely gorgeous and truly is a work of art. This was truly a great experience -- I have nothing but great things to say about Pro Deck. If you want a porch or deck, these are the guys to use.

It went very well. Took a little longer than hoped for due to weather (extreme heat and rain in August) but there was progress every day once the work started. Used actual employees to do the work and not sub contractors or day laborers from home depot. Made sure the permit was acquired too. And even made a couple of good suggestions which improved the final product (rounding off a corner with another post and deck board to hold the grill). Trustworthy, good quality, and a very good price.

Wow. I've heard people say that Frank and Pro Deck build the best decks in Columbus, and they're not wrong. This was probably the best experience I've ever had with a company on Angie's List, and that's saying something! Frank (the owner) came out and gave us an estimate himself after looking at our old deck. He gave us recommendations for an updated (and much larger) design, which we were very happy with. Frank normally builds with Trex and other composite materials, but we were looking to save some cash, and so chose a cedar deck instead. Once a spot in their construction schedule opened up (about 8 weeks later), Frank's team was on site every day, tearing out the old deck -- and hauling it away) and building the new one. The entire process took about two and a half weeks, which included a couple delays for inspectors and the replacement of some unsatisfactory wood. Once the deck was complete, Frank came back out and did a final walk through. We pointed out a few minor things we wanted to get updated (some hand rails that needed to be sanded, etc.), and Frank found a few others himself. Chris, who had run the crew building the deck, also came by and started on the small fixes that same night. At this point, he has only to replace one small piece of skirting that cracked during construction, and we'll be 100% done. Can't tell you how happy we are with this deck. It's MUCH bigger than our old one, and so much more solidly built. It really does feel like an addition to our house, and we're looking forward to many outdoor celebrations in the months to come. Fantastic work by a fantastic company.

Frank came out last fall to discuss options with us, and drew up the plans for our deck. We finally gave him the go ahead in the spring. He filed all he paperwork, requested the permits and ordered all the building material. Rodney, Corby and Ricky arrived to build our new deck beginning on May 31. It took five weeks (weather not cooperative). I can't say enough positive comments about them. They were professional, punctual and a pleasure to talk to and work with. They were open to every comment, critique or change we requested. This was a huge undertaking. Our original deck had no concrete footers, so the entire second story deck was gutted and we started all over from square one. The deck size is 45ft in length by 16ft wide with a turning staircase. The deck is cantilevered in one area, we also had a wheelchair ramp put in place. Additionally, we made some changes 3 days before completion and they were willing to accommodate us and make the changes (pressure-treated facing board covered in Trex the length of the deck, remodeling part of the rails where the the deck is cantilevered, etc.). Even though the deck was expensive, it was well worth it to us as we are on the deck every day. Included in the cost was the paperwork, permits, removal of the old deck, clean-up and hauling away, the delivery of the Trex composite deck, bronzed aluminum rails, the pressure treated base boards, all other materials, labor and clean-up. Also, they cleaned up everything and removed even the sawdust (Corby). All I can say is if you want a deck built right, Frank and his crew are the way to go. We were extremely pleased with the entire process from start to completion and would highly recommend Pro Deck.

It went wonderfully! Frank really listened to what I liked/didn't like about various decks in the pictures he showed me and ensured the team incorporated the elements I liked. The team worked through a ton of rain and got it done very quickly. Frank pointed out many problems with what other deck contractors tried to sell me and backed up his points with literature. I am very happy with my deck!

Frank at Pro Deck did a really great job of helping us coordinate all the permitting and inspections involved in building a new deck in Delaware County. We had additional difficulties due to a 100-year storm easement that we had to get vacated in order for us to build the deck exactly how we wanted it (fortunately we work at an engineering firm and knew the "right" people to help us with that). Once we got all the paperwork in order, Rodney and 2 assistants came out and built the deck in less than 3 weeks including down time for inclement weather. Rodney is every inch the craftsman, and has a personable and professional demeanor. Frank and Rodney also dealt very well with coordinating the integrated hot tub delivery and installation. Although the price was high, we got the best quality decking materials there are, a large deck, superb craftsmanship, and great warranties from both Trex and Pro Deck. We would absolutely recommend Pro Deck for your new deck!

When we moved to our new home we knew that when it came time to replace the deck that we would be calling Mr. Iafolla at Pro Deck. Having experienced the quality of their work at our old home we wanted to repeat that experience at our new home. Mr. Iafolla designed a new deck to fit our home, his crew were always on time, neat, polite, and did the quality work that we have come to expect with this company. We are very pleased, recommend them highly, and wish that all work we contract to have done could meet the standard set by Mr. Iafolla and Pro Deck.

Frank the owner arrived (on time....which is always important to us) to give us an estimate. He was confident and straight about what they could do and how much it would cost. We signed the contract. We were later contacted with an install date. The installers ( Jeff & Todd) arrived as promised. They were here about a week. They were totally professional and easy to talk to. Even our neighbors later commented on how nice they were . They took their time doing a very nice job on the install. They cleaned up every day after working . They made a couple of suggestions that we felt were nice extra touches to the deck. They really cared about the quality of their work. When they finished they washed off the new deck and cleaned up everything. We are very pleased with our new deck.

They did a wonderful job. Their follow through was great. The two guys who worked on it did a really great job. They were here everyday and finished in the time they said they would. The owner was very hands on and followed up with me if I ever had questions. They did a really nice job and the deck looks great.

They did a great job. They are very professional. The deck looks beautiful and the pricing was very fair.

overall went excellent. Rodney is excellent carpenter, assistant Corey is very good worker. both Rodney and Frank(owner) were responsive to oue concerns and wishes. we are very satisfied with the final product.

The project went very well. Frank was responsive to my questions from the first estimate. His price was fair, and he used superior products. Rodney our crew chief was a true artist and professional. Both were patient working through the permit and inspection process. They worked while we were on vacation and took very good care of our home, and we were pleased with the work they completed while we were away. The room and deck look beautiful.

They were punctual and professional. They were very knowledgable and the deck is absolutley beautiful. We would absolutely use them again

We couldn't have asked for this project to go any better. Frank kept in touch and let us know what and when things would be happening. Frank's crew kept to schedule and trash was promptly removed afterward. Frank came by a few days after initial completion of the deck to see if we were satisfied. We had some minor questions and he had a crew back out to the house to address, again very minor, concerns within a couple of days. We were very pleased with the service and our new deck.

The owner, Frank was great to work with. Out of the 6 contractors we solicited for bids, he was the best. He suggested ideas that the others didn't and showed convincingly the difference in the composite product he uses versus the others. He explained in more detail the process and the products. The crew, Rodney and Corby were always prompt and professional. The quality of their work is outstanding. These guys are absolutely perfectionists at their work. Frank definitley delivered what he promised and more. He worked with the Homeowners association to resolve a conflict with what they required for the screened room versus the County building code requirements without any need for us to participate in the discussions. He made this project quite simple for us. He was organized and the various specialists (plumber, electrician, roofers) were there on time as scheduled. His projections for the timeframe to complete the project was about two weeks depending on weather and it was done in two weeks.

Excellent quality. Very detail oriented. Friendly staff Willing to do last-minute changes for a reasonable fee

His style was not what we were looking.

We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the deck. It looks fabulous. Mr. Iafolla was very professional, thorough and informative in his recommendation of specific products (Trex) and deck design. His years of experience is clearly evident in his knowledge of decking products, deck construction and his company management. His workers (Don and Kelly) were meticulous in the construction of the deck (measuring and re-measuring often during the process). They often worked late to complete various sections of the deck and were consistently neat in the daily clean up. At the completion of the project, Mr. Iafolla made a point of reviewing the work that was done. He also answered many questions we had about the care of Trex products, the Trex warranty and Mr. Iafolla's own personal "lifetime" guarantee on the deck workmanship.

We had a small concrete patio that was sinking near the house and causing a drainage problem. We decided to investigate replacing the patio with a raised deck. Frank the owner of Pro Deck visited our home and gave an excellent proposal to handle the job. He made several suggestions for features and configurations of the deck that didn't add significantly to cost but improved the final result. The materials to be used and construction methods were clearly superior to other proposals we received (i.e. use of 6x6 support posts versus the more typical 4x4 support posts). We decided in the fall of 2008 to accept his proposal. Due to winter weather it was tough to be precise with a date to begin the work, but Frank put us in his queue and promised to stay in touch. It was a couple of months before they could begin, but he kept his word and stayed in touch. When he called with a date to start the work they arrived as promised. Pro Deck took care of all the details including building permits, inspections, getting the utility locations marked in the yard, etc. The crew was very courteous, professional, stayed on task, and kept us informed on progress throughout the process. After they had completely finished the job (including cleaning up and leaving) we wanted to add hand rails to the steps. Frank agreed to come back out and add the rails at no additional charge. As promised they added the rails. The whole job was completed on budget, in a timely fashion, as was extremely well done. The final result is excellent and we're very happy.
