It was one of the best contractor experiences I've ever had!

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.

UPDATE After posting my disappointment about their lack of…read moreresponse to my solicitation, I was rewarded with a written apology for the oversight in my behalf. Since I had already contracted my business to another contractor I did not immediately respond. But after a second inquiry asking for an opportunity to solve my issue I did respond that the job was already arranged with someone else. I am very pleased to know that the posting of my displeasure of their seeming disinterest precipitated a genuine response and willingness to correct what might have been simply a "dropping of the ball" I will consider Alger Deck and Fence in future for their help with similar transactions. I have increased my rating.

The support beams were warping and seperating in multiple locations. I didn't feel the deck was in a safe state. After seeing their work at other townhouses within our community, I reached out to Deck Envy for a quote and availability. The owner, Johnny, visited my location and went over the options for a complete rebuild. The whole process was very easy and low pressure. His estimate was extremely fair, compared to other options I received. His team worked through the HOA and county permit process, and they kept me up to date with the progress. Once the approvals and permitting were completed, the work began and took a day for demo and two additional days for rebuild. The team was professional and cleaned up appropriately after the work was done. I was extremely happy with the work and professionalism of the team. A++

The folks who did the work were professional and very talented. The customer service before, during and after the job was beyond fantastic!

If you're in the market for a fence or deck, call these folks!

First and foremost everyone with Before and After Home Improvement has a work ethic and it's a good one, no shabby shoddy work here. When Rick came to give me an estimate for the project he brought books that had the different colors and grades/levels of composite decking as well as a book with the different railing and baluster choices. Now I did have other estimates set up, however one did not show, and the other company was very nice but they emailed me the quote a few days later and told me they used Trex decking and that was it, no brochures or explaining the different options, nothing, made me wonder if I was supposed to do my own research. Rick explained the high and low end options and the differences in the type of boards Trex carries, which were also pictured in the brochure. If you are within a budget he will let you know what the pricing differences are, your best option, how long the product will last, warranties, ect. He takes the time to talk to you like you're a person and not just a customer in the assembly line. The gentlemen that came to do the work have a work ethic (getting harder to find in people nowadays), they showed up on time, didn't mind me asking questions here and there and wanted the installation to be and look the best. I highly recommend Rick and his company, he uses the same crews on all projects. Here are some before and after pictures.

AMAZING! If I could give Whitmer Decks six (or more) stars, I wouldn't hesitate…read more Cliff Whitmer and his entire crew--Sam, Mike, Pavlo, Wade, and Keen--truly knocked it out of the park from start to finish. 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

Waited nearly two weeks for the quote and get a call they don't "replace" and confirmed they said they only do new construction per the "manager". Missed HOA deadline for May due to waiting on this final quote to make my decision to submit the application. Frustrating. They clearly didn't want the job or update your website to remove "deck replacement".
