    Tony A.

    Our house has a basic two-level wooden deck that had gotten to be in pretty bad shape, and with COVID keeping us locked down we decided it was time to get it fixed up so that we could enjoy some fresh air and get more use out of our hot tub. We also wanted to figure out how to make a creative play space for our 4-year-old son, since our yard isn't large enough for most playground equipment. We contacted Expert Home Construction and Max was very prompt about communication, coming over to discuss what we had in mind for the space, and getting us a quote. His quote was the best value for our money, he could do everything we wanted (another company could only do the deck work but not the fence, for example) and he was able to start work within just a few days. Max took our rundown old simple deck and a small patch of unusable backyard space and did all of the following: * Cut down a large tree and removed a couple large bushes to increase the space in the backyard * Added a 6-foot fence around a portion of the backyard (creating a safe play area, since there's a large drop due to a retaining wall) * Laid down pavers under the upper part of the deck to convert a dirt area into usable space where we could put outdoor toys * Hung a swing under the upper part of the deck * Weatherproofed the play space by installing corrugating polycarbonate panels on the underside of the deck that drain into a gutter and downspout * Installed a tube slide from the upper deck to the lower deck * Redid the deck stairs * Replaced the majority of the deck boards * Built a canopy around the hot tub with translucent corrugated polycarb roofing, roll-down shades and curtains, and a bar along one side * Added a fence around the lower part of the deck, blended into the canopy * Installed two gates * Various other safety and code improvements He completely transformed our deck and backyard into something that feels like a vacation retreat right here at home. We're thrilled with the results, and if we need any other work like this done in the future, we'll be going with Expert Home Construction again.

    Expert Home Construction did a great job for us. They replaced our cedar deck and made it more stable, safe and attractive than the original deck when it was first built. Max and team are meticulous and take true pride in their work. They provided good value for the price paid, completed the work ahead of schedule and communicated every step of the way. In fact the deck came out so well that we had Max fix a variety of other items on our house that were in need of repair and/or replacement. We would hire Expert Home Construction again for any construction needs in or around our house. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

    All aspects of working with All Decks was excellent, from beginning to end. The workmanship of the…read morefinished deck exceeded our expectations, and every person we encountered was pleasant to work with. Our project was the installation of an 8' x 11' elevated attached deck. I had whittled my initial list of contractors down to six before choosing All Decks. Cost was competitive but was not the lowest bid. This was the third deck in this location. The previous two were wood. This time we chose to have a composite deck installed, to not have a stairway, and to have the area underneath the deck protected from rain. As this was an elevated deck, it was covered by municipal code requirements more stringent than when the previous two decks were built. We worked with Adam during our initial contact, and in designing the deck. We chose Dekorator planking, Trex handrails, and the Trex RainEscape system. We wanted to minimize supporting posts, as a competing bid would have used 6 posts, and we had seen decks on houses like ours that had 5 to 6 posts. All Decks was able to use only 2 posts by having larger-size (6"x6") posts and by attaching one side of the deck to our cantilevered 2nd floor. The All Decks showroom was extremely helpful in choosing materials and colors, and in evaluating the RainEscape system relative to alternative underdeck rain coverings. Kendall did thorough work when he visited to do the detailed yard survey required by code. The level of detail in the resulting documents was unexpected and illuminating. The three-man team led by Chris who put up the deck was professional and unobtrusive. A special challenge was attaching one side of the deck to our cantilevered 2nd floor as the current municipal code requires an exceptionally robust connection. Installing this connection required removing several plank-and-tongue grooves from under the overhang of the cantilevered 2nd floor, which is very difficult without causing damage. I was skeptical that it could be done and was pleasantly surprised to see the excellent appearance of the re-installed planking. (As expected, I repainted the reinstalled planks myself.) As for the steel-bar-reinforced concrete footings, Chris meticulously set their height so as to enable the potential future installation of a ground-level deck made from pavers. The gentleman who delivered and picked up materials and the portable toilet was discreet and careful. Crystle ensured smooth communications for scheduling, billing, etc. We are very satisfied with the All Decks team and their work.

They were affordable, knowledgeable, and very willing to work with my needs and my budget. They were able to obtain the permits that were needed which is an important and valuable service. They also took care of the structural engineering that was needed to make sure that we had sufficient support for the deck. Their showroom is very helpful. There are samples and some mockups of decks, railings, lighting, etc. There are lots of options and the staff was great about explaining the options but not pressure-upselling. I felt comfortable choosing the materials and extras with their help. After the project was finished, there was one support post that didn't look finished to me when I looked at it from our dining room window. All Decks was great about coming out. After seeing and understanding what I wanted to upgrade, they were able to install a matching trim piece that made the post look complete. The deck has been installed now since Oct 2024. It still looks great and I couldn't be happier.

Throughout the entire fence replacement process, he made me feel like a VIP by responding almost instantly to every question and doing everything he could to accommodate my requests. When I first reached out to him for an estimate, he replied right away, came out the same day to take measurements and provided a quote that afternoon. Later when I needed an additional section assessed, he again came the same day and sent an updated quote that evening. His responsiveness and professionalism stood out from the very beginning. During the fence replacement process, he and his team continued to impress. The workmanship was excellent and Mirbek kept me updated throughout the process. Everything felt smooth and completely stress-free. Even after the job was completed and paid for, Mirbek promptly sent his helper the next day at my request to handle a small additional section and I was grateful for how quickly he took care of it. Mirbek has also proven to be trustworthy. When I asked for his advice about replacing the deck boards, he gave me an honest assessment that sanding and staining them was all that was needed Overall, working with Mirbek was a truly pleasant experience with everything feeling easy, smooth, and worry‑free. He delivers excellent work, responds promptly, communicates clearly, charges reasonably and cares about his clients. What else can you ask for? I highly recommend him.

    After getting a few quotes for our deck project, Heilman Deck & Fence really stood out. Andy came…read moreby and actually walked me through the whole process -- not just what he'd do, but why he'd do it a certain way. He explained where it made sense to invest a little more and where we could cut back without sacrificing quality. No pushy sales pitch, no checkbox quoting -- just someone who clearly knows his craft and cares about doing the job right. I had done some research ahead of time and knew my existing deck had a structural quirk that would matter during the rebuild -- Andy was the only one of the three contractors who caught it. That made the decision easy. His quote wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive, but it was fair and came backed with great reviews and a clean WA contractor's license (which, shockingly, not all of them had). That sealed the deal for us. We ended up completely rebuilding two decks using TimberTech PVC -- a smaller 10'x10' one, and a 26'x12' deck that's 20 feet in the air with two staircases and a landing. The whole project took about 3.5 weeks from demo to final touches. Andy's CAD drawings were spot-on. When surprises came up (like discovering the house's floor joists ran in the opposite direction), Andy just handled it -- added a beam, footings, and posts without delay or extra cost. Same deal with a couple small punch list items at the end (a dinged downspout, some siding, trim details). No fuss, no runaround -- his crew just showed up and made it right. The build crew was great to work with -- friendly, respectful, and meticulous. They kept the site clean and were clearly proud of their work. You could see it in the precision of the cuts and the fact that everything was perfectly straight, square, and level. Even the more delicate custom cuts -- like a half rip-cut board to fit under the house -- were nailed with crazy accuracy making it look like the boards extend under the house. Bottom line -- I'd 100% recommend Andy and his team at Heilman to anyone in the Seattle/Eastside area. If I ever need more deck or fence work (though this deck will probably outlive me), I won't even bother getting other quotes. These guys are the real deal.

We asked a few companies about finishing up our project and Andy, Amanda, and Team were happy to help. They provided valuable insight on things our old contractor missed, they communicated clearly and consistently. Their team was incredibly nice, showed up when they said they would and did everything in half the time originally estimated. I only wish we started our whole project with them. Lesson learned! Big thanks to Amanda, Andy, Tim, Chris and crew!

After getting several bids, I went with Vitaliy (owner) and his team. Here's why: - Vitaliy was exceptionally clear, punctual, and spoke in facts (he was not at all sales-y). - He did what he said he'd do (call me back, or prepare an estimate) when he said he'd do it. From the first interaction, it was clear he has high integrity. - Vitaliy noticed critical details (such as the fact that none of my windows had flashing!) that nobody else documented in quotes or discussed with me. - And, his responses to my questions were patient and thorough. Vitaliy helped me understand all the aspects of the project and design choices, which helped me feel confident and supported. And then the work began! - Slavic and Alex were assigned to my project and wow - they are exceptionally skilled and hard working! - Slavic and Alex have great attention to detail. The siding work is very precise and they made simple and beautiful enhancements along the way (like swapping out old and poorly installed vents). - Rot was discovered under a stairway off my kitchen, and I decided to have the staircase rebuilt. It is beautiful. They even noticed that the original staircase had a weird drop off from the interior floor and corrected that so there's now a seamless landing that is much safer and easier to use. The work Slavic and Alex did on this part of the build is as high quality as their siding work. - The work site was always SUPER tidy. Slavic and Alex took great care to clean up as they worked, paid attention to simple details like ensuring nails were picked up and that hose covers were back on (winter months), and they were very respectful of the driveway which I share with my neighbors. - Throughout the installation, Vitaliy kept me updated via text, phone calls, and site visits. I always knew where things stood and what degree of rot was uncovered (or not) at the end of a demolition day. The level and consistency of communication was outstanding. This is the biggest home project I have ever tackled, and it was by far the easiest. And that is because of Vitaliy, Slavic, and Alex. Their communication and the quality of their work is exceptional. Hire these folks!
