My wife and I decided in late May that we wanted to replace our existing deck, but we were torn between a handyman and a specialty company. We decided to focus on companies that specialize in decks and get a few quotes. The two other companies we contacted provided us "ballpark" quotes based on approximate size and different materials, but neither company actually so much as provided a brochure of their products. Additionally, either company wouldn't have been able to get us on their schedules until late summer/early fall. We then met with Steve from Creative Decks and expected the same ballpark quote approach, but we had a completely different experience.
Instead of quotes over the phone or through email Steve wanted to sit and meet together. He was very transparent from the beginning and explained in detail our choices in materials, timing, permitting, costs and design options. After the initial consultation we were so informed and felt very in control of the project. The estimate we received was not a ballpark quote, but a detailed write up of the exact products we chose as well as options that would lower the price if we wanted to choose different materials.
It was clear from the start that Steve was very confident in the quality of his products and the workmanship of his team. His main focus during the meeting was informing us on all the options available and helping us design a deck that we would love for many years to come. Steve completely worked through the town approval process. It was wonderful not to have to go back and forth to Town Hall. And best of all, Steve was able to get us on his schedule for late June - only a month after our initial meeting.
After all the planning, Steve and his team built an amazing deck with top quality products. The crew was extremely professional, hard working, kept the work area very clean and were very pleasant to work with day to day. We are thrilled with the final product. The deck is amazing and the attention to detail is easy to see in the final product.
Steve and his crew kept us informed throughout the process with detailed emails on exactly what to expect from day to day.
I would highly recommend CREATIVE DECKS to everyone looking to put on a new deck or replace an existing deck. Steve and his team were amazing to deal with. We were extremely impressed with all of them! read more
