I know they prefer reviews on Consumer Checkbook but since I'm not a member it's going to have to be Yelp. After interviewing many contractors, we went with Gerry's plan and pricing which I felt was on par for the project. They demoed my old deck and put in a new screen room porch and extended the deck. The team nailed their goal of completing the work in 3 weeks to the day. Tony's crew of 2 were some of the most hard working and gifted craftsman I have seen work. After the completion of the project, we felt blown away by what they designed and built for us, honestly going beyond our expectations. There was one change to be made with some alignment to the base of the deck which they took care of with no hassle or worry. From start to finish, we felt things rolled along smoothly, and were really impressed with the product at the end. All you can ask for in a contractor. So I definitely recommend talking with them if you have a large reno you are looking into with your home. Kirk F.

I received 3 quotes to replace my rotting wooden deck, one level up, with a composite one. Pro Deck…read moreInstallers had the best combination of price, materials, and start time. They did not try to enlarge the project beyond my requested size and needs, and they handled all the permits, inspections, and such. They brought down my grill and fire pit from the old deck, removed and disposed of my old picnic table and umbrella at no extra charge, and brought the grill and fire pit back up when the deck was done. The new deck is beautiful: Trex Transcends composite decking in Tiki Torch with a black railing and Tiki Torch cocktail rail, matching 52" wide steps with lights as required by code, and sturdy wood frame below the deck. They started sooner than required in the contract, and while the build took on the longer side due to the July heat, they finished before the contract start date. Many neighbors have admired the deck and even expressed jealousy. I would recommend Pro Deck Installers to anyone.

We talked to people who had used the businesses and we checked the better business bureau for complains. We chose Sun Decks because they only had one customer complaint and because they were a small local business meaning that our little project might be more important to them. They had a guy sit down with us and go over the specifications: what did we want, where did we want the stairs, color, type of wood, etc... He drew up the design and took care of getting the approval from the county and the home owners' association. Later they had some young men install the deck. Those guys worked hard all day into the evening and even on Saturday. We were very impressed with their work ethic. Now it's been about three or four years, and we've never noticed any defect or problem with that work. It's top quality work and very attractive. After seeing our deck, our next door neighbor had an exact replica installed.

He was so combative, he stated I was irritating and walked away. Disrespectful, rude and no business I would ever use or recommend.

We are really happy we chose EcoDecks to do our deck. From start to finish they have been transparent with all the details, changes and inspections. The crew that came out and did the work have been easy to work with and very meticulous when it mattered in the deck details. The guys showed up every morning and worked steadily throughout the day and completed our project in the timeframe given. We now have a beautiful new deck with TimberTech decking which we are thrilled with. I highly recommend this company as they did exactly what they promised and in the timeframe they promised it. Russ was a pleasure to work with and answered all my many questions with a smile.

Luckily our neighbor recommended ecodecks for our deck staining project and we are glad they did. Petru and his crew showed up first thing in the morning on the day scheduled. They carefully covered our neighbors fences and our property before staining. Communication was good and the final result was great! They came back the next day for touch ups and to make sure everything was meeting our expectations. Very pleased to have worked with them and will recommend to anyone needing this type of work done.

I watched them work every day, their dedication to their work, the precision of placing each piece of wood and each spindle for the rails was amazing. To top it all, they sanded the rail tops so that it would be smooth to the touch, something I have not seen from other companies. They also took care of obtaining the permit, the complete post-production cleanup and the final inspection.; even the county inspector was full of praise for their work. All in all I am more than impressed and satisfied with Prodeck construction and I would highly recommend this company to everyone.

Of those three, ProDeck came in with the low bid. While I'm usually cautious about accepting low bids, the references provided to me by ProDeck raved about the contractor's performance on their individual deck projects. I went with ProDeck and was positively impressed in EVERY respect. Omesh was easy to work with, the company was eager to get started, and its tradesmen diligently labored on our deck during one of the coldest weather spells that Virginia has had in recent memory. They ensured that they understood our wishes regarding every detail of the deck before actually performing the work. The quality of their craftmanship, as far as I can tell, is flawless. They showed up early every morning and left in the late afternoon, completing our deck in seven (7) business days. This is a GREAT company and I cannot say enough good things about it. If anybody ever asks me about a deck contractor, my response will be: "You absolutely, positively have to hire ProDeck." They get SIX stars from us. Dan and Lisa S.

HD Exteriors has been the best experience I have had with any patio/porch/deck company ever! Over the course of 3 homes, this is the fifth time doing a major exterior project. Each time I tried a different route of getting the project completed. Working with HD Exteriors has been the most rewarding and satisfying. They get an A++ for service, quality, cost, and just plain being human! I trust them whole-heartedly to do any future work on my house. In fact, I have already made plans for additional projects in my back yard and will be using them for all of them. My father is a tough critic and hard to impress. He is an excellent gauge that I use when making decisions. In this case, even he was extremely happy FROM THE BEGINNING with the work and experience! I just can't say enough great things about the company, the workers, and especially the main team I worked with for this effort: Graham Sr., Graham Jr., Tom, Edwin, Diane, Beth, and Kim. If you want a WIN-WIN situation, then I suggest you go with HD Exteriors! It began with me having ideas of what I wanted added to the back of my house. I had contacted many companies to get ideas, suggestions, and estimates. Out of all the companies that came out, HD Exteriors had the best of all worlds! Graham Jr., the owner's son, came over to look at the space, make suggestions, and give an estimate. Working with him was the most pleasant experience in customer service I have ever had. That was the beginning of me realizing HD Exteriors is what I wanted out of partnering with a business to complete a project. For this work, I went with a patio, deck and covered and screened porch. Graham Sr., the owner, was the next step in making the design a reality and crunching the final numbers. In fact, if it wasn't for him, my project would have been average in terms of detail and looks. But he made a stellar design, incorporated my wants, and still was able to bring the price point down to something that worked for me and him. In fact, he was the lowest quote I had received! His work also included a warranty that was longer than the others and he was going to make sure we are happy at the end of the project. When the work began, the crews that came out for the work also were very pleasant and easy to work with. Tom, the project manager, and Edwin, the supervisor, were great to talk to and helped in making things happen. They were on site as needed. The crews were professional and knew what they were doing. When the work was completed, I couldn't believe what I had on the back of my house! The completed patio, deck and porch turned out to be the best design in my neighborhood! My family could wait to start using the new space. Everyone was so happy. Neighbors were stopping through just tell me how wonderful the completed project looks and that they want something like that. I'm still in awe on how it turned out. It was natural and classy at the same time. It was PERFECT! I worked with Diane, Beth, and Kim throughout the whole process. They are in the HD Exteriors office and assist with the logistics, scheduling, payment, and closing out the project. It was an awesome operation as a whole. As said before, it's a WIN-WIN! My family couldn't be happier, and we look forward to future rewarding experiences and projects with HD Exteriors!

It is rare that I provide negative reviews but when I do, it's usually for good reason…read more I decided at the beginning of this year that I would finally get a deck installed. It was something we wanted to do for a long time, and we finally felt ready. Since a deck is part of the structure of a home, I wanted to make sure we got a vendor who was licensed, insured and experienced. I got a couple of estimates, and a neighbor had recommended the people they had used and said that they were able to get a permit quickly. Because I wanted to get my deck done before the summer, I decided to request a quote. Dan from Valer Builders met with at my home and did some measuring and talked a good talk. It ia amazing how people behave when they are trying to get your business. The estimate I was provided with was about 6k over what my other vendors had provided but Dan persisted and when I told him what I had been quoted, he asked for proof and tried to match it. I was a little hesitant as to how much he kept trying to get my business and how quickly he dropped his prices but, in the end, I thought that I would be dealing with a professional company, one that would provide great quality work, quality materials and great customer service. I was WRONG! After coming to an agreement, signing the contract and putting down the deposit and getting the permit, a date was set to start the work. On the first day, Dan showed up and then a crew showed up and he introduced me to his "Project Manager". The crew started the work and for the most part they were doing a great job until they started installing the pickets. I noticed that there was a huuuuuuge difference on the wood, it was NOT new material as promised. I reached out to Dan and sent pictures of which he also agreed that the wood was not grade A. I was not happy because his crew previously tried to claim the extra material that I was paying for and then installed old wooden pickets. I first mentioned it to his "Project Manager" who was actually his subcontractor. The subcontractor at first denied to have installed old wood but I have eyes and it was very clear that I was not being provided with new wood and when I texted Dan the pictures, he agreed with me and asked his "Project Manager" to change them out. One of the laborers even mentioned that he told the "PM" that they shouldn't use that wood but that he was told to just do it. I was not happy and finally Dan came to see it himself and said that he had ordered 20 new pickets to be replaced and felt the need to show the invoice of the extra expense he will have to pay. He acted like he was doing me a favor and even told me to call his vendors. Why would a customer need to do that? Your job is to provide good quality materials. When I asked him if he had inspected the materials, he seemed to get offended by the question and started being rude and disrespectful. I had to remind him that I was the customer, and it got to the point that I had to kick him off my property due to his tone of voice. At this point I just wanted to get the work done and not deal with him again. His "Project Manager" listened to the whole conversation and knew I was upset and offered to change all the pickets. I didn't want to take out my disappointment with the subcontractor, so I simply asked him to replace the real bad ones which I have pictures off. The last step of the project was to fix the flooring which I had just installed a few years back. The quality of work was very poor, and my floor does not look good. His masonry subcontractor tried twice and said with time that the material he used would set and it would look good. Two months later, my patio floor is not up to standard. At the beginning of June, the electricity in my house went out and I called the electricians who installed my new electrical box a few months ago. They confirmed that it wasn't the box and called Dominion Power for me and had then come to my property. It was determined by Dominion Power that the vendor that installed the deck placed a post in an area that caused the electrical line to break. Dominion power asked if I knew if the vendor who installed the deck called Miss Utility before they did the work. I hope they have proof that they did. Dominion Power determined that the damage was caused by the deck installation, and they said they will charge the vendor but that Dominion Power doesn't fix the flooring. I had no choice but reach out to Dan and informed him of the situation and that I needed someone to fix the floor that Dominion Power open up around one of the deck's post and to please fix the flooring throughout since the work his team did looks bad. Shared pictures with Dan and he declined to make things right, so he leaves me no choice but to take necessary action. I DO NOT RECOMMEND Valer.

This review is long overdue, but I've been meaning to share our wonderful experience with Al, Mike…read moreand their team on the multiple projects they completed for our old, complex house. We converted two rooms plus a hallway into a master suite as well as split two large upstairs rooms into three. We had structural concerns and lots of logistics to work out and I wouldn't trust anyone other than Mike to draw up the plans to make sure everything is safe and up to code. Al oversaw the projects and was in constant communication with us and regularly was on site to make sure everything was going smoothly. If anything wasn't 100% correct or what we had discussed, he would make sure it was remedied. Big shout out to Franz who even showed up to work the day after his wife had a baby! The M3 team worked late days and on weekends (with our consent) to meet their deadlines, even when the county held them up with permitting issues they still worked hard to finish within our timeframe. We even made major changes to our plans after construction had begun and they were able to pivot and help us get more square footage for the upstairs bedrooms. There were also numerous curveballs that they handled with ease (ya never know what you'll get with an old house). This was our first time doing any sort of large project and the team at M3 gave us plenty of guidance and support to make sure the finished product exceeded our expectations. If you want something done right the first time, then I highly recommend contacting M3!! If we stay in this house then you guys won't be done with us yet! -Cristen, Phil and now +2 (!)
