Extremely satisfied customer! Had a 19-year old, 2-story, 500+sq ft deck, homemade by previous homeowner, poorly done and rotting (stairs, stringers, and 6x6 posts rotting/cracked through). Completed the same 3 estimates with 4 separate companies (1 each: pure pressure-treated lumber, 50/50 PT lumber and composite, pure composite). Andy Merz, leader of Frontier Deck, did the estimates personally, professionally, and promptly, and suggested intelligent & efficient ideas throughout the estimate process. His communication was easily understand, promptly answering all of our questions, and accurate, including detailed sketches of the proposals and itemized breakdowns to help us further adjust cost to keep within our budget. Ultimately of the 12 estimates we did, Frontier's 50/50 PT lumber and composite deck was by far the most reasonable "bang for our buck". Frontier did an excellent job tearing down and disposing of our unsafe old deck, identifying structural damage to my home in the process (caused by the previous homeowner's improper fastening to the rim joist of my house). Mr. Merz immediately notified us of the structural damage, gave us a reasonable cost estimate to repair it, and promptly repaired at at the estimated price once we gave permission. All work was done neatly with minimal impact to our property, and the finished deck came out beautiful & strong, and should give us another 25+ years. As an unexpected side benefit, Mr Merz's simple design of the understructure and staircase vastly improved our scenic back yard view from the convoluted & bulky structure of the old deck. With Mr. Merz's help, we chose to use a composite decking and handrail, with PT lumber structure and railing balusters, which saved us several thousand dollars over a vinyl handrail system while still minimizing future maintenance. Frontier's 2-man work crew was on-time, efficient, knowledgeable, very polite and unobtrusive, allowing us to go about our regular family routine with very little disruption during the entire project. Have recommended Frontier to close friends and family, would definitely hire Frontier again! read more
