To anyone that is considering Dex by Terra (or has recently hired them for a project), I have one…read morepiece of advice for you: RUN AWAY AND DONT LOOK BACK
We hired Dex By Terra to perform a backyard transformation (in 2024) following the install of our pool in Framingham, MA. The design phase, led by Joe, was wonderful. EVERY SINGLE THING THAT TOOK PLACE POST-DESIGN WAS TERRIBLE. We opted for a stamped concrete design, which was our first mistake. Every single person from DEX who has been at our house honestly has no idea what they are doing in regards to stamped concrete. When you look at reviews, every positive review is for non-concrete patio's. When it comes to stamped concrete... anything that could go wrong went wrong.
1.) Stamped upper patio area was completed first. Color was wrong. It looked like someone had poured curry powder all over my patio. Luckily, they were able to jackhammer it out and replace
2.) Stamped pool deck - after one winter, there was an erosion that took place all over the patio (think little white specks everywhere). They refused to repour concrete and opted to fix with a stain/sealer. Needless to say, while it did improve the white spots, we are in summer number 3, and it looks even worse now. In addition, the lines of the stamping, drains, and immediate border around pool are all not straight.
3.) Masonry work was shoddy all over entire patio. Big gaps, stones falling out of place, allowing rodents to make new homes.
4.) Supervision is an afterthought. Our project manager Delia wasnt actually managing anything. People would show up whenever, without any prior notification. Questions requesting specific dates and times for workers were not answered. General job site cleanliness was a total DISASTER - with items getting broken (all of our solar lamps), landscaping being damaged (from moving furniture into landscaping while working on patio), sealer hardening at bottom of pool causing white marks, and overall general sloppiness in terms of keeping areas of house clean (like siding, trim, and windows) while they worked.
5.) Zero accountability. I asked numerous times for the owners of the business to come on-site to see the horrendous work that they performed. Joe, Delia, and Tommy (head of ops) came out. Joe agreed the work was sloppy and terrible looking. Tommy didn't have a clue - he could have been a guy they grabbed at dunks to serve as "head of ops" for all we know.
Now we are on year 3, they are still doing some work with the same problems and same lack of attention to detail and lack of respect of our time/money/house. In discussing with my wife, we are going to have to bring in actual professionals at some point down the line to remediate the mess that Dex by Terra have caused.
Again - if you are considering hiring Dex by Terra for any work, I would run as far away as you can from them. Atrocious company, atrocious support, atrocious attention to detail, and absolutely ZERO accountability. I offer anyone the opportunity to come to my house to see the quality of their work first-hand. Know what you are getting yourself into and know there are better companies out there.
