After deciding to rebuild our older deck, we had to do some research on companies and speak with prospective vendors. We met with four businesses and carefully evaluated their offerings, services, quality of previous work, and costs. We ultimately chose the Deck Buddy primarily because of their professionalism, approach, and openness during the selection process. Doru was the primary point of contact throughout the entire process, and we chose to work with them because of his dedication, approach, and responsiveness. Every day, his team was punctual, courteous, and clean. They began on schedule and completed the entire project ahead of schedule. We are pleased with our deck and highly recommend his business and staff. Excellent work. read more

Doru came and presented our options, broke down the old deck, and removed stuff that was on it. He then commenced to build the most beautiful deck within 1 week in the winter after all county paperwork was filed. He travelled up from Virginia to work regardless of the weather. He even gave us lights on the stairs! His work is admired by family, friends, and even other licensed contractors we have working to complete other tasks. It was one of the best contractor experiences I've ever had! read more

We replaced our old paver landing and stairs structure with one made of Trex, so the project required removing the old structure, creating a foundation for the new frame, and finishing it with Trex. Truly impressed with above the standard we are used to working with contractors on such projects. Most importantly Doru does not delegate responsibility for the whole process to others - he is personally involved from start to end. There were no shortcuts ensuring the deck and stairs were solidly constructed, with the best materials, and excellent aesthetics that blend well into the existing backyard landscaping. Communication is easy, pleasant, and very reasonable to any of our special concerns - a pleasure to work with and highly recommended. read more

I would highly recommend Deck Buddy for your new deck, fence and staining services. Doru is a pleasure to work with. He's extremely professional and highly knowledgeable about his craft.

Deck Buddy built our deck in only three days. The deck is sturdy and looks great. Communication was great end to end, value for the work was great too. We are very pleased with the work, highly recommended! read more

My 2nd job with Doru and his team, and I am just as impressed as the first job from a few years back. I contacted Deck Buddy for an estimate to replace my deck railings and posts. Doru responded quickly, met me at my house for an appointment within a few days, and provided an estimate within 24-hours. In spite of the rising costs of pressure treated lumber, Deck Buddy's quote was fair and I accepted quickly. The work was done within 2 weeks and I couldn't be happier with the result. I am pleased to recommend Deck Buddy (again)! read more

Our wooden deck was in need of new stain, new paint and new boards. Every year I stained the floorboards and washed the white railings. It was a pain and I found myself wanting a composite deck for the low maintenance and the looks. Doru came out to give us an estimate. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to save on cost since the support frame was in great condition. He was flexible with us. For example, we asked if we could buy our own light fixtures for the steps and for them to install. It was no problem. Sam, the team leader, and his crew were awesome. They were courteous, knowledgeable and open to any comments/requests we had. Because we had a preexisting deck, it was more challenging for the crew to work with. They did an outstanding job! We are very pleased with the finished results. No hesitation in recommending Deck Buddy. We are thrilled with the finished results. read more

I really hate to do this as I have never written a negative review. But I am very unhappy with our finished product. We hired Deck Buddy to do some repairs on our front porch, and the work was done shotty. It was supposed to be a 1 day project and they ended up coming out 3 different days to fix different items. They were very communicative and friendly, but the work was just not done well. First off, we were recommended column wraps that were too big and hung out from the front of the porch outside of the roof. Luckily I was home and caught it, but unfortunately after they already cut 2 pieces. So we paid for the 3 pieces that were the wrong size, and then also the correct ones. Then the railings we previously had wouldn't fit, so we ended up having to purchase all new railings. This doubled the price of the project. After several calls with the foreman and owner (who did try to fix it) it was just never done correctly. We were left with a product that we are completely not satisfied with and were told that we essentially got what we paid for. Like I said, very nice and communicative up front. But when the work was done poorly, refused to fix it. read more

Very happy with the service we got from Deck Buddy. We opted not to stain our deck at this time and went for a power wash and had some planks replaced for a good price. My neighbors were impressed with how thorough they were with the powerwashing (it took several hours).The planks were replaced on a different visit and they did a great job there as well. Because of COVID-19 they were careful not to walk through the house and accessed the deck by using a ladder (we don't have stairs). We were absolutely stunned at how our grey, weathered deck turned out! It seriously looks like a brand new deck! read more

I really hate to do a bad review: but you left me with no choice. I gave you (the company) ever chance to fix the problem and you refuse to do so. At first I was glad to hire you, but at the end I was totally disappointed. Initially they did a good job and responded on any area that needed attention. So, when it came time for the final payment; even though the work was not completed, I went on and made the final payment. Once the payment was done and the check cleared the bank, that relation ended. There were issues with the workmanship on the patio. He did return once to fix the issue; but it was not fixed. I called him a third time to inform him that original problem still exists and need to be fix. He (Doru Pricope) refuse to fix the problem; even though my contract had a "workmanship" clause in it. He said he came out once and will not come out again. He said that he is not making any money by sending the worker back out. He went on to say; if I did not like the work, then hire another contractor. At this time, I asked for my money back that I paid for the patio. Again, he refused. My lesson learned here is not to hire this company again and never make the final payment until you are completely satisfied. I did call the DA's office, the Warrenton Police and a lawyer; it was recommended to take him to court. All of the costs for court outweighed the monies I lost on the patio. I do not recommend you hiring Deck Buddy LLC for any deck related work. And after several texts and phone calls he refuse to call back or text. read more

They responded within 24 hours to my request to have very old metal railing replaced on my mothers front porch. Showed up several days later and had a very reasonable estimate the same day. The staff worked nonstop, did an excellent job and were very nice. I would highly recommend to anyone. read more

Last season after winter we realized several of our deck railings were rotting and causing a falling hazard. The deck was also in need of refinishing. Doru and team did a great job getting deck safe and sturdy again and refinishing our entire 2 stories of deck with stairs. Doru was very responsive getting small issues resolved after the fact, even if it cost him a little extra and showed that he stands behind his work. I would recommend him for others in need of deck work. read more

Truly a great experience. I've done a lot of home projects over the last year and this one stood out. Doru was an absolute pleasure to work with, his prices are fair, he is respectful, honest, and responsive. His team, led by Sam, was extremely professional, reliable, and invested in delivering a great product. Like most projects, things occurred outside of what we expected, but Doru was 100% committed to delivering a great deck at a great price and went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. If you or a friend or family member are building a deck, I highly recommend you reach out to Doru and team. A++ service and a beautiful end result. read more

This is the threat from the owner of this company that I mentioned in my preious review. I hope Yelp is watching because this is intimidation to the fullest: ========== Mr Le, Thank you for mailing in the final payment. I hope you enjoy your deck, after all. This is the first and only friendly request, to remove your false, exaggerated review on Yelp. As all of the statements you made on Yelp are false and defaming, and the amount of calls I received after your review decreased significantly, I will collect data for the entire month of April and if I have loses, compare to the the rest of the year, I am going to request in the Small Claim District Court of Virginia, a law suite, seeking damages for "defamation" and "false statements". Keep in mind, Yelp is the only way I advertise. The results I am going to get will be very clear, "black on white". If I am going to register loses, you will get served shortly and I will not contact you or respond to messages or calls coming from you, thereafter. Once again, this is a friendly notice. It is not a threat or a joke. Warm Regards Doru Pricope ========== read more

Thank you! read more

I have a deck made of a mix of older wood and newer composite, where the old deck posts were in various states of rot. The first estimate I received, from a different company, was convinced I would have to replace the entire deck and could not re-use the newer composite decking. Deck Buddy came out, did there inspection and found no issues with simply replacing the rotting posts and deck beam. They even commented that when the newer composite decking, joists, and flashing were all good and up to code. Deck Buddy gave me a great quote to make the necessary repairs and I accepted on the spot and paid 50% up front. Due to their schedule and recent weather, they informed me it would take about 3 weeks before they could start. Three weeks later we ran into some weather issues again, to include a tornado watch, and Deck Buddy contacted me to let me know they would have to push back a couple of days. Deck Buddy showed up, did the work as scheduled, and I am very pleased with the entire process. I highly recommend you call these guys. Call them AFTER your first quote and see for yourself. read more

Wonderful experience with Deck Buddy from start to finish! They were incredibly professional and provided an honest assessment of our deck and helped us make the best decision give our situation. Doru and the team were responsive (within a hour or less) to all our emails and helped us pick the best stain color - which we LOVE. The deck looks incredible - great attention to detail, great end product. They were quiet, respectful, neat and cleaned everything up. We hardly evevn noticed they were here. Thank you Doru and team!! read more

We recently used Deck Buddy for deck and fence work-we had gates rebuilt, deck handrails replaced and everything cleaned and stained. Another company advised our deck rails and support posts would likely be rotten underneath the handrails we wanted replaced. They estimated an entire deck rebuild at $30-40k. We had a second estimate from Deck Buddy and were able to get the repairs we needed within our budget and found we did not have the level of rot that the first company implied we had. Deck Buddy was communicative throughout. We had some damaged wood pieces uncovered during the process. The damaged pieces were shown to us and the additional prices were reasonable. We appreciated them doing the extra work and having the job done right. We did have some items that we asked to be fine-tuned at the end. Those were remedied without question. The end result is a refurbished 16-yr old wood deck and fence that look great for summer. read more

Deck buddy was quick to respond and very professional. Great work on our deck, we would definitely recommend them. The prep work was done on Monday (pressure wash) and the staining was done by Thursday. read more

We contracted Mr. Pricope, from Deck Buddy, LLC, at the suggestion of a neighbor to have a deck buit . Mr. Pricope, basically, did most of the paperwork, and obtained the necessary permits from Prince William County for approval. His team workers arrived early in the morning and did a very nice job. Upon completion of the deck, we were having an inspection done on our home the following day, and the inspector, of his own accord, indicated that it was a nice deck. In closing, and for those individuals that might be considering having a deck done, Deck Buddy LLC from my perspective is excellent! Lillian C. read more

They did an excellent job. Great communication and fair pricing. I priced our back deck 4 times before deciding to go with Deck Buddy. They are great with all communications and most importantly..... owner presence and involvement. If you are thinking of building or fixing a deck or fencing I highly recommend Deck Buddy. read more

Deck Buddy was very responsive to my initial request. Among many quotes, they were the only ones to suggest lowering my payment by salvaging some of the floor boards on my deck, which was the right decision. Some boards ended up needing to be replaced anyway and they installed them at no extra charge. I was very happy with the service and glad to have a repaired deck! read more

We contacted Deck Buddies for a quote to repair our deck. Yenifer responded promptly arranging a convenient day and time. The estimator was prompt, considerate and listened to our problems. The estimate was very reasonable. Dealing with Yenifer was a real pleasure. Any questions or concerns I had she addressed promptly. The job was actually started 1 week early. The crew was wonderful and considerate about making sure the gate to our back yard was closed every night. When they were finished the cleaned up well. The deck looks great!! Its nice to deal with a company that provides great professional service. Thank you Deck Buddies for all you do. read more

Didn't end up using them because I went with a family friend, but their estimate was totally fair and their staff were completely timely and professional. I would suggest their services because their estimate was honest, fair, and very transparent. They spelled out the supply costs, labor costs, etc very clearly. read more

Deck Buddy was fantastic!! Doru, the business owner contacted me right away after I submitted an online estimate request to repair and restain my 30 year old deck. Within one day, he came over and did the estimate himself, identifying damaged boards which needed to be replaced and stability/safety issues with the deck railings. He walked me through the entire process, answering all my questions along the way. He assured me that he would be working on the deck himself. His estimate was fair and affordable and although he gave me a tentative schedule of a month out before work could begin, he was able to start the project earlier (two weeks ahead of schedule) and finished within a few days, despite the bad weather. Doru was a trooper, even with a near 100 degree heat index, he worked 12 hour days, determined to finish on time. His communication was fantastic...even if he thought he might be 10 minutes late, he called to let me know. Doru was careful to put up plastic and cover the house so the stain would not get on the siding or hose underneath the deck. The same day he finished the deck we had horrible storms, but the stain held up perfectly! The deck looks like new and I can't wait to use it! I highly recommend Doru and Deck Buddy! read more

Doru, did an AMAZING job on repairing our deck. My husband burn a small hole through it. His estimate is by far the most reasonable than anyone we contacted. He shown up on time.

We already scheduled him to come back to refinished our deck next spring. This is the guy you want to call. read more

Deck Buddy recently finished pressure washing and staining our deck and fence in a townhome community. We are pleased with the work they did.

Doru and the Deck Buddy crew were great to work with. After months of deliberating and meeting many deck companies, we decided to move forward with Deck Buddy. Doru provided an honest and great price, coupled with his quick and thorough communication. The end result is amazing and we are excited to spend years enjoying the deck. The crew was very neat and clean, always cleaning up the job site at the end of each day. They never stored any material or garbage in front of the house, which was wonderful. Doru made sure the project was finished perfectly, even coming back to pressure wash the deck to make sure everything was clean and ready for our toddler to play on. We are definitely hiring him for our next project of installing a fence. read more

Deck Buddy did two jobs for us. First, they repaired a Trex deck which had started to warp. They replaced pieces, recentered boards, replaced at least 100 screws and really made the deck look like new. Then they refinished a wood deck and really went beyond my expectations with the level of effort to clean, sand and prepare the deck before staining and sealing. It looks great. read more

Requested a quote to replace splintery wood with trexdeck, he responded fast and with a good price. Work was completed quickly and professionally, end result is a deck I can walk on barefoot without risking getting stabbed in the foot by old wooden boards. They worked around the furniture we had on the porch too, which was awesome. All on all, really good work, really good guy. read more

Doru Pricope came to my home to do an estimate. First off, he's measuring up the side of my vinyl siding home with a rolling tool and then wondering why he's not getting a correct measurement (obviously you aren't rolling it on a flat surface). I grabbed my tape measure and showed him. Next, he started calculating measurements like number of risers and how long the staircase for the deck would be (this was important because I wanted a portion of the staircase to run along the deck, which meant this would dictate deck width). I asked him how wide each step would be and he told me 11 inches. I calculated the length the staircase would be on my own because I was quickly understanding that this guy just used a generic app to do his calculations and doesn't understand how they get there. So when he told me the length would be smaller than I estimated I tried to understand further. I asked again how wide was each step and he told me 4 feet. I was trying to get the run distance so I rephrased saying how long would each step be. He said he didn't understand. I told him, "look, you have rise and run, what is the run?" He then told me 10 inches. I said that wasn't what he told me earlier and he grabbed his stuff and said "I don't take this kind of stuff from my customers. You get your own contractor license and build your own deck." This guy doesn't know what he's doing. Be aware. read more

Doru and team exceeded our expectations for adding steps to an existing deck and patio. Team was professional and timely. When there were delays in work because of weather, communication was prompt and we were always in the loop. Would high recommend to neighbors, family and friends. read more

Doru from Deck Buddy was awesome to work with! After shopping around and receiving several quotes to bring our deck up to code and replace some top boards I found Deck Buddy to be the best value and most trusting. Despite lots and lots of rain, Doru finished the repairs and I'm very happy with how the deck looks and I feel much better knowing that the deck now passes Fairfax county building codes. Communication with Doru was always fantastic and I appreciated that he was always on site and was involved with every part of the process. I will definitely recommend Doru to my neighbors and friends. read more
