Description of Work: Just got an estimate to replace our deck. It is elevated and wraps around two sides of our house so was expecting it would be an investment, but the quote they gave was about $20,000 more than a quote from a competitor. The guy from Outback was speechless when I told him about my other quote. He said there was no way I could get that price. He also spent about half the time we were talking, telling me what a difficult site we had and how his crew would complain about walking up the hill. I went with my other quote and got the better price and excellent work.

Response from Outback Creations
Gave home owner a fair price. Customer lived on steep hill with bad assess to deck. Existing deck was built poorly and customer had gotten 20k price from same contractor. We were using larger posts to support deck. It was apples and oranges. I gave customer a free and honest bid. Customers have the wright to pick and choose who they like at no cost. I feel it's not fair to gave bad reviews when we don't do the work. Yours truly Terry Winters owner

Description of Work: I had my rear porch screened in. The price was a bit high, but the quality of work they perform is amazing. My only complaint is that they're so busy it takes a while until they could begin work on my project. The wait was worth it.

Description of Work: Things started out fine, but it took a very long time to get the estimate. Once in hand further questioning led to finding other "partners" to help w/the job...which led to a whole re-estimate and upping of the price by $7k w/option increases for another $15k. This was after I had already paid $6k to start the job. Bottom line is we didn't agree on new pricing, he promptly refunded my money, and I lost 2.5 mos of schedule. Nice guy...no detail plans but high level estimates. I made it very clear w/o details if we entered into a dispute I'd have no leg of detail to stand on.

Gave customer fair pricing and Outback Creations hasn't raised its pricing in 4 years. We are not the cheapest but in the middle on our pricing. Let's face it you get what u pay for. Terry Winters/owner

Terry came to the house the same day that I called him and worked with me on my drawing of what I expected. He worked up an estimate on the spot and suggested an upgrade to cedar instead of treated yellow pine and I agreed. We worked out a timeframe to complete the job since I was going to be travelling and my wife and I are very pleased with the finished product. We have been able to move our gas grill from the muddy yard up on top of the new deck. I would highly recommend Outback Creations to all my neighbors.
Description of Work: Demolished an old set of outside stairs and replaced them with a 48 sq ft cedar deck and 48" wide staircase.

We have no complaints. Terry took some plans we had drawn up by a landscape architect and improved on them. He suggested changes that we had not even considered.
Description of Work: This company has built two patios for us and we have been very happy with the work. If we were not happy with the work we would not have hired them for the second job. Terry is great to work with. The other patio/deck was added to a house in Coppell. The cost is an estimate because we had several jobs bundled together. Terry delivered everything he said he would do. This was also finished before the estimated time.

Terry, the owner, was very responsive and returned calls immediately and answered all our questions to our satisfaction. He helped us design the area and met with us several times to ensure we were getting what we wanted. He was very fair and accommodating as well when we decided on a few changes after the project began. The team that did the work were very friendly and efficient. They were very professional, experienced, and kept a clean area during the project. We were very comfortable with them being in our backyard during the project. They, too, were accommodating to our wants and met all our expectations. Even after the project was complete, Outback Creations was responsive to questions we had and small issues that needed to be dealt with. We will use Outback Creations again when the need arises!
Description of Work: Outback Creations helped us make an previously unusable space into a beautiful outdoor living area in our backyard. They created a flagstone deck with an outdoor kitchen and built-in fire pit for us this past summer and we are very much enjoying the outdoors in our own backyard.

The arbor was to be adjacent to the covered patio area. After discussing options with Terry, we also decided to replace two existing posts with 8" x 8" cedar posts so that they matched the posts on the arbor. Terry was very professional and I agreed to the proposal and provided a down payment. The following week the arbor was constructed and looks great. On July first, the flagstone work began and was completed in just over three days. The arbor and flagstone looks great. All of the workers were polite and professional and cleaned up reasonably well at the end of the job.
Description of Work: Owner Terry Winters provided a bid to construct a 16' x 22' Western Red Cedar Arbor, overlay a 5065 sq. ft. patio with flagstone and build a new 72 sq. ft. flagstone walkway between the patio and the pool.

I gave Terry a call from Outback creations and we set a time for him to come and take a look at the space. Terry showed up promptly. He took a look at the space made suggestions and provided me with a quote. He is easy to speak with and very professional. Having gotten other quotes his was very fair for the work that was going to be done, it was not the highest but not the lowest. My husband and I decided to go with him because his quote was fair, he was very professional and understood what we were looking to achieve. There were a couple of delays, due to rain, while the work was being done but I was called everyday by Terry who let me know the crew would not be coming out to work. The crew did an awesome job and everything came out better than we could have ever expected. We have been using the deck and pergola for a few weeks now and could not be happier with the job that was done. We would recommend them to anyone who it looking for outdoor work and hope one day to use them again.

It went very well. I liked the way they kept me informed. He would call me far in advance if he was not able to show up. They were very punctual and cleaned up after themselves.
Description of Work: They put in a retaining wall, a new arbor, and they also extended our pool deck by adding flagstone.

The owner contacted me promptly and set up an appointment within the week. He showed me pictures of his work in the past years. I felt that he gave me a good deal, considering several upgrades that I wanted to make. I actually saved about $600 compared to Home Depot quote and got my arbor sealed by a wood sealer (referred by the owner) instead of stained. He was very responsive to my calls. He was knowledgeable and personable. His team were pleasant, flexible and hardworking. When I was having my arbor sealed, he came by for a short visit. The arbor looks great; it is giving me the shade I wanted and a place to hang my hammock.
Description of Work: I used their service to build a 12x12 cedar arbor. I updgraded to 8x8 posts. It looked great and I am enjoying the extra shade. The owner was very personable and he took the time to walk me through the process. The two guys that built the arbor were pleasant, flexible and hardworking.

It was good overall. The workmanship was excellent. We had two different sub contractors. Everything was handcarved and beautiful. They did a great job. The stone masons also did a wonderful job. We had a specific request that no illegal aliens were working on our house and they complied with my request.

They were very thorough and professional. Their prices were competitive, their workers showed up on time and did what they said they were going to do. They even went out of their way to change the design of the wood to make it look somewhat oriental. We're very happy with them and their work. I would highly recommend them.
