I wasn't going to provide reviews but I kept receiving requests from them. I would have given a Zero rating if I could. A number of issues immediately after the repair and restoration, including paint bubbles, etc. Jim insisted on they were not problems despite of the fact he had to come back and fix the issues. But the worst part is that the deck posts (over 20 years old) were all rotten at the time of this repair, to such an extent the deck was at risk of collapsing - I have the pictures to prove. Deck Armor did not mention a thing and just painted over them. Other contractors discovered it when working around the deck. When I talked Jim, he just brushed it off and said no concerns, it was going to last 10-15 more years. I finally got another contractor to replace them and found the conditions of the post just horrifying - the deck was at risk to collapse any time! In fact, one side of the deck was sinking and deck was leaning to the extent we could see it. Again, we raised the issue to Jim and was told no issue what so ever. We have replaced all the posts since then and we now feel safe. But this was an extraordinary experience. I would not recommend Deck Armor for any major repairs and restoration.

Beautiful work!

Unequivocally impressive work, unmatched commitment to quality. Consistently met and exceeded expectations and commitments. The Deck Armor crew worked tirelessly to complete my deck ahead of schedule and did an amazingly beautiful job on my very large deck. I was amazed at the quality and thoroughness of the preparation and perfect execution of the work. The extensive carpentry work they did to repair my deck was top notch quality as well. If you are looking for someone to refinish a deck, no matter how large or small the job, look no further than Deck Armor!

Gorgeous work

The Deck Armor team blew us away! Even during the current crisis, Jim and his team were able to communicate easily and quickly. We did a huge job over e-mail and the end result is nothing short of stunning. Really stunning. Our old, weathered, deck looked hideous. It's a very large, two level deck, and the Deck Armor team nailed it. The cost was totally within what others were charging, but thankfully we chose the best team. They have a lot of colors and packages to chose from that's best for your deck and wallet. Cannot say enough praise.

Could not be happier with the result. This was a very old patio painted grey. It's like a new home.

We needed to have our old deck rebuilt in 2026, and we found Agustin via personal recommendation. From the very beginning he was more responsive than other contractors we were exploring, and he even made some suggestions that improved the design while keeping costs low. His crew worked quickly and did a great job (even in hot, muddy conditions). Agustin even checked back with us after the completion of the job to make sure that we had not encountered any issues. I would definitely work with him again.

The project was completed as planned, exceeded my expectations and was done to my satisfaction. The entire team was professional and easy to work with. They answered all my questions and concerns during the process. The team was very neat and respectful of my home. The crew provided meticulous attention to detail and communication during the process was clear. They cleaned up the work area everyday after they completed their task. There were small cost overruns, but they were reasonable. I would contact them without hesitation for another job. The professionalism helped ease the stress of such a large endeavor. I am excited about enjoying my new outdoor space. I was pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Creative Exteriors Plus.

What a BEAUTIFUL job well done! I have a deck that is probably 30+ years old, and it was ROUGH (see…read morethe last two photos for before pictures). Some of the floor boards were rotting away so much that I was afraid to step on it for fear of falling through. Other boards were so frayed that it was a splinter nightmare. I worried about the safety of the deck, which made me not want to spend time out on it, or at least, not invite anyone else to spend time on it! There was also no way to access the deck from the outside, so any guests had to come through the house to access it. With a small group this wasn't a big deal, but for large neighborhood events this was a lot more difficult. I contacted 4 different companies to come out for an estimate, and Deck Impact was only one of the two companies who even answered/responded. Their estimator, Antonio, listened to what I was looking for and wasn't constantly trying to up sell me (like the other company was). He was able to give me a quote on site. My quote included replacing the floor boards, adding in another support beam underneath, painting the deck with a solid stain, and installing a spiral staircase. The work looks GREAT! I have been out on my deck ever day that hasn't been disgusting. When outside doing yard work, I've had multiple people share their adoration for the spiral staircase (which honestly has been a dream of mine since buying the house). The work ethic of their teams was incredible and they were very kind (I would leave out water and snacks, bring the dog around, etc.) and they were happy to share the different steps they were doing. They went above and beyond when small issues came up, working to fix them, which sometimes resulted in multiple trips. I know this was probably frustrating on their end, but they didn't show it to me. My only complaints, which are small and do not warrant a star deduction, but also I want to give a thorough review: sometimes, communication was lackluster. At times in the process, I had to reach out to get updates on dates when teams were coming out (after a week of not hearing anything). This very well may just be the nature of the trade, but it wasn't communicated to me that I wouldn't hear from them. But, every time I reached out I would receive a response within a day. Also after a couple of the work days (there were probably 5-6 total days teams were on site), there was a bit of trash left behind. Most of it was from demoing the floorboards, which were falling apart so I understand, but it was 3" nails and fragments of wood. The biggest concern was my dog running around. Also sometimes food wrappers and wrappers from construction materials were left in the yard. It's very possible it would have been cleaned the next time the crew was there, but with a dog, I had to spend time doing the cleanup so he wouldn't pick up something that would hurt him. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with the work Deck Impact did from start to finish and would easily work with them again and refer them to family and friends. While yes, there is room for improvement, the work they have done has made me enjoy my deck again without breaking the bank. Thank you guys so much!

My questions and concerns were always addressed promptly and attentively. Their work is thorough and the results are of high-quality. While I can't speak for their other projects, the price for my staining project was fair and reasonable. They even cleaned the mildew off the concrete retaining wall abutting the deck while the rest of the deck was cleaned! Well done Deck Impact!

I filled out the online form and within a few hours, Lisa contacted me. Cliff came out to look at the space within a few days. I was so impressed with his knowledge (permits, codes, expectations, etc.) and what we would need to do in order to make everything work. We loved the deck design he came up with and were excited they could fit us in before the end of the season. They only have one crew, so we did have to wait a few months until they started. Cliff kept us up-to-date on the start time and what to expect on weekly (or more than weekly) basis. We were so happy with the quality of craftsmanship and the friendliness of the crew, I can understand why they only have one crew. Cliff is on-site for (and assisting with) the build. He was honest, friendly and very accommodating. I cannot say enough about Whitmer Decks. You should use them!

From our very first meeting with Cliff (the company owner!) to the final walk-through with Sam, the project manager, the experience was exceptional every step of the way. The communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. Not once did we feel anything less than a top priority. Texts were answered within an hour, and emails were always returned within hours. That level of responsiveness gave us complete confidence and peace of mind. Mike, Pavlo, and Wade were the primary builders, and they were phenomenal. They treated us like rock stars during the entire three-and-a-half-week build. Mike, the lead carpenter, took the time to explain every phase of the project in detail, which my wife and I truly appreciated. Whitmer Decks removed our old deck and built a beautiful new 14x12 screened porch, along with a 10x10 deck and staircase. I'm no professional photographer, but the results speak for themselves--we are absolutely thrilled. We can't wait for warmer weather so we can fully enjoy our stunning new space. The craftsmanship is simply incredible. These guys are true artists. Every time we look at the work Whitmer Decks completed, we're blown away all over again. Thank you to Cliff, Sam, Mike, Pavlo, Wade, Keen--and Spark Roofing as well. You are all amazing, and we will not hesitate to give our highest recommendation to anyone who asks. I want to mention that their estimate/upgrade process was incredibly easy and actually fun to work with! Each upgrade came with about 5-10 photos that were VERY helpful in envisioning what the final product would actually look like! With gratitude, Shawn Purcell
