Description of Work: This was a major renovation of the backyard with extensive carpentry and stone work. The project was performed per design and at estimated cost over a four month period. | |During the project, Deck Builders recommended valuable changes and we negotiated price adjustments to accommodate the improvements we approved. | |We are very pleased with top quality work and materials throughout. Hidden details give high assurance there will be no surprises. We chose a double beam foundation for the deck and their mason laid a very deep and highly compacted foundation for the paver patio. They also gave a great deal of thought to the design of drainage and water management. | |Scope of project: | - Deck: 350 sf (Trex PVC) with 42" high wrought iron rail and two flower boxes. | - Patio pavers: 420 sf patio/walkway (Techo block), 15' long paver bench, and 60' long paver wall enclosure around a 10x20 vegetable garden. | - Shed: 10'x12' on concrete slab with double, steel-cased doors and south facing windows. | - Electrical: 3 new elec circuits (1 in shed and 2 inside house) and lo-voltage deck and patio lighting. | - Fence: 100 linear ft 48" tall fence with 2 gates (1 double & 1 single). | - Drainage: 3 french drains to protect paver foundation, stones & drainage along house foundation. | |Deck Builders pulled all permits, coordinated inspections, and performed compliance changes as needed. | |This project was performed between July and December, 2011. Now, after 5 winters and 4 summers we see no issues with quality or durability of the work. | |It may have been possible to complete at a lower price, but having seen the disasters experienced by work done at the lowest price possible in our neighborhood, we are satisfied that we got a realistic and fair price for good quality work. | |NOTE: In completing this review, the drop-down selection did not permit a year prior to 2013. This project was completed in 2011.

The team consisted of 2-3 workers. I had some issues when they originally installed the deckmaster brackets. The brackets were not installed as it is recommended in Deckmaster installation guide. The foreman assured me that additional screws would be added to the brackets. The rest of the installation went fairly smoothly. Tommy Harper who was the sales person was very responsive to questions or concerns, as was the foreman, Ricardo. The additional support beam was installed free of charge, labor/parts. The trim around the edge of the deck was also added to match neighbors design, again, free of charge.
Description of Work: Replaced deck and stair planks with Treks Accents. Used Deckmasters system to secure boards to joist. Added support beams for unsupported section of deck consisting of two posts and support beams. Replaced step planks and middle support for steps.

It was outstanding! I am very pleased! They were very professional. They finished on time. They gave me a date, and it was finished on the day that they said. We are very happy with the work. We have gotten compliments from friends about the job. They came more than once to adjust different designs for me. They were very friendly.

This was a very positive experience. Tommy showed up promptly for our estimate appointment. He was friendly and professional. Got down to business quickly, took a few measurements and asked some questions on what we wanted. Not a lot of sales pitch and nonsense, which was much appreciated after sitting through a long sales pitch earlier from a competitor. We got our estimate within a day or two. It came in at about $7,000 lower than competitors. Based on price and positive reviews from Angie's List, we quickly signed a contract. Ricardo and his crew showed up as scheduled and did a great job. They worked a full 8 hours over about 7 business days. Never any drama and they are nice folks; these workers were a pleasure to have at our home. Clean up was very thorough. When we needed to ask Tommy something he was always available via his cell phone. The only small issue we see is that some of the deck floor boards are a slightly different shade than the others. Tommy and Ricardo have assured me that they will blend in within a few months of exposure to the elements, but it would have been nice to have everything looking perfect from the beginning.
Description of Work: Demolition and removal of existing wood deck. Build 24 x 15 foot composite deck with vinyl-covered wood railings. Deck is about 3 feet off the ground. 4 or 5 foot wide exit with steps down to backyard consisting of 4 steps of composite material.

This team delivered--figuring out a new configuration (even patient with our changes right as the project started); working around terrible weather conditions; dealing with the county inspector changes; working over weekend days; showing pride in their work. We were very happy with the ultimate result--a fabulous looking deck that we've enjoyed every day since!

We worked with Jeff to design the deck of our choice. He was very patient as we chose our materials and changed our minds a few times about what we wanted. The deck is just what we had hoped for, if not more. We would highly recommend this company to others. Their work was thorough yet very timely. They had the deck done in three days and it involved digging to put in deep posts to support the deck.
Description of Work: Our old deck was dismantled and a new deck was erected.

After receiving 3 estimates I chose Deck Builders because they were providing the most product for the cost and this was after an upgrade of the lumber [much lower than other companies that were going to use some of the existing materials]. It was a pleasure to work with Tommy and Deck Builders. They began the project a few days earlier than expected and everything moved very quickly [started on a Thursday; finished product by following Monday (no weekend work)]. The craftsmanship is incredible and the detail for a "basic" deck design is outstanding - my only requests were for a larger deck with stairs, nothing fancy [I can only imagine how a "specialty" design would be executed]. Boy, was I a happy homeowner when I got home from work and saw the finished product - I have, by far, the best looking deck in my quadrant [if not the neighborhood]. And, they added lights on the stairs at no extra cost. I would recommend Deck Builders to any homeowner looking to expand their outdoor living space with a deck or similar structure. Deck Builders ROCKS ! ! !
Description of Work: Removed old existing deck and replaced with larger deck and added stairs.

Contacted Deck Builders through Angie's List. Lived up to billing. Removal of old deck, construction of 20 x 12 deck with 21 x 12 screened in porch, plus the removal of front stairs and installation of new Trex maintenance free stairs was well within budget and far less than other commercially advertised businesses. Final product added great value to our property in Arlington, Virginia. Estimate was prompt, build began prior to expectations, work was was well above expectations. Quality workmanship, prompt and professional. Started earlier than expected, but took longer than expected due to weather. Near the end of the project project slowed, probably due to weather and other commitments. Final details needed to be emphasized. Withheld final payment until they were addressed, and they were. These were very minor issues, such as clean up. Overall they did a very professional job that I would recommend them to anyone. Electrical work for ceiling fan and outlets done by subcontractor. He is excellent, affordable and would recommend him for jobs. Work crew is knowledgeable, professional and hard working. Sometimes, difficult to always contact PM when you needed to get an answer to a question, but when you did contact him, he was always approachable, professional and consumer oriented. Believe they have a lot of business because of the quality of their work.
Description of Work: Remove old deck, replace with new deck and screened porch. Replace front entry stairs with trex no maintenance stairs.

We are very pleased with our deck. Tommy and Jeff came out for an estimate and were very helpful with ideas. There was no pressure involved and their price was significantly lower than another company. They started when they said they would and they finished ahead of what they projected. The deck was well done and we're very happy with the craftsmanship. They cleaned up the site and it all went very smoothly. We highly recommend the company.
Description of Work: They built a deck approx 300 sq. feet with pressure treated wood. It was one level - about 3-4 ft. off the ground with a set of steps going to ground level.

This was one of the most positive contractor experiences we ever had. The sales person (Tommy) was extremely helpful, coming to our home on a Saturday morning. He explained all options but was not at all high pressure. The work actually started and ended well before we thought. The workers were polite, considerate, and worked FULL days-from about 8 a.m. till almost 8 p.m. each night-the job took only five days (there were three days they could not work because they were waiting for the county inspector to approve the structure before they could completely finish. That was not their fault).
Description of Work: We live in a three-story townhouse. Deck builders took down the outside second floor deck/balcony and completely replaced it. They also pulled up the downstairs deck (which was done 7 years ago by another contractor-shoddy work) and re-topped it. Both decks are done in trex, not regular wood.

I can only speak to the two man crew we had, with Luis as foreman, but they were absolutely outstanding! They started work a week after we got HOA approval, showing up on Mon morning (30 Apr.) as promised. They estimated 4-5 days for the work, and actually finished on Sun morning (6 May). They had to wait most of one day on an inspector and lost a half day due to wx (rain). I cannot say enough good things about Luis and his work, his professionalism, work ethic, willingness to explain everything being done, perform minor changes I requested, attention to detail, etc. Crew picked up each night and at completion, set aside old deck materials I wanted and put the rest in their dumpster, etc. They even moved lawn chairs in, too, when we were out and the rain started. We provided them with cold drinks when we were home and they were always very appreciative, polite, etc. A very positive experience and I would highly recommend them; great people and great workers!
Description of Work: We already had a deck on the house, but it was small and had three levels, each separated by about 8" in height. We wanted to make it all just two levels, and add on a section of about 120 sq ft. Also had one set of stairs on the new section and an old set on current section redone. Started by getting quotes from Custom Built LLC ($4460) and Nova Exteriors ($7781) in addition to Deck Builders Inc. Custom Built LLC sales representative was late to appt, made several mistakes on estimate form, was slow to follow-up, etc. Nova sales rep was very responsive, professional, knowledgeable, had a good package and was very up front about their costs typically being higher than some others. Even offered to answer questions I might have even if I used another builder. Deck Builder rep was very responsive, willing to work with us on what we wanted, took $ off the job based on Angie's List coupon for another builder, etc.

Tim showed up on time and gave us a fair assessment of what had to be done and what didn't need replacement. The original support posts were built above code and were left as is. He didn't try to sell us unneeded upgrades but made good suggestions, such as the lighting and bench design. The work was started and done within the projected time.
Description of Work: We replaced our old (22 years) deck with new composite (Evergrain) materials and added low voltage lighting both to the deck and screened porch.
