Background: Our original rear patio redwood deck was initially installed in 1980, when our House was first built. Existing dark brown deck boards were lifting with plank screw fasteners exposed. After an unsuccessful attempt to use of Behr penetrating stain, boards were partially restored to a dark brown. After one year, the Behr stain began to visibly peel off of all components of the deck. Douglas fir staircase railings did not soak in or retain the Behr stain. Last year, due to heavy rain, our adjacent underground basement flooded requiring pumping to remove water transferred through the cement foundation of the home. Project Phases: Phase 1: remove all existing wood components of the existing deck. Phase 2: Excavate deck side of the House foundation, a) paint foundation with active water resistant barrier paint to cover all House foundation areas next to the back deck. Bury white 4 inch piped highly absorbent water accumulators and interconnect piping with an existing roof gutter drain system. Phase 3: Install new TREX Transcend "Tiki Torch" wood grain planks using concealed TREX fastener system complimented by new black metal rust resistant stair case fencing and railing system. We were so fortunate to find KEN RECTOR CONSTRUCTION-AUBURN to engineer, furnish and design our project. Ken Rector Construction competitively bid our Project, developed a comprehensive Project Statement of Work (SOW) and Easy-to-Understand Job Contract, ordered all materials, ordered a wonderful Construction Team and was available on-site though out the Project.

The best! I hired Ken Rector Construction to replace the front stairs on my Dad's house and couldn't be happier. Ken was easy to reach and always returned calls and texts the same day. He and his partner completed the job in one day, tearing down the old stairs, building beautiful new redwood ones, and cleaning up thoroughly. The craftsmanship is excellent. My Dad was very happy with both the crew and the quality of their work. A neighbor even stopped by to admire the stairs and may contact Ken for a deck project. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent work, attention to detail, on time and on budget. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks Ken!

Ken and his crew were responsive, professional, and timely. We're very pleased with the quality of their work.

Ken built a beautiful deck for our home! We chose to work with Ken because he gave us the impression of someone who is very proud of his work and will not cut corners. While building our deck, Ken was meticulous and detailed oriented and communicated effectively. He gave helpful suggestions along the way. The final product is beautiful and definitely a huge upgrade to our old deck. We 100% recommend Ken to anyone who wants a quality and beautiful deck that will last years to come! read more

Just had our decks repaired by Ken and Javier, who were most professional and courteous. Everything - fixing a large leaning rail on one, replacing deteriorated deck boards and rails on another, and adding handrails to all the staircase guardrails - was done perfectly as requested, all in 2 days! Communication was very easy too, as Ken always replied to my text within minutes. We are extremely satisfied with their job, and so happy that the project was within our budget. Highly recommended! read more

We hired Ken Rector Contruction recently to remove and replace a deck on two sides of our shed, which turned out great! He also replaced on the fascia on our front deck. He finished his work within the two day time frame that he had proposed to us and left the site clean. We are very happy with the out come of both projects. read more

Ken was one of three contractors I got bids for to repair some problems with my 16 year old deck. It's a 'Trex' type deck and is 7' wide and about 40' long. Then there are 5 steps going down to the next level which is 5' wide and 35' long. This deck is on the 2nd floor. Several boards at the end were curving up (close to the gate/stairs) - some by more than an inch. In addition what I thought was minor problem (several fascia boards loosing and coming off) turned out to be very poor construction by another contractor. Fortunately the 'bones' were in good shape. Ken found fixed the loose boards and did an excellent job. He also noticed something neither other contractor noticed... on the lower portion the one of the supports was pulling away and the deck was separating. He also fixed the original contractor's money saving (for HIM) solution to the supports to add the fascia boards. Ken and his assistant did a FANTASTIC job, and his bid was very competitive with the other two... but theirs did not include fixing the main problem they hadn't even noticed. His communications to me were both by phone and text and very impressive. Best of all, he not only told me things that caused the problems, he explained what needed to be done to fix the problems. I'd HIGHLY recommend him for any deck work. read more

We needed to replace our wood deck, and wanted to go with Trex. We were so lucky to connect with Ken. From my first contact with Ken, he was clearly very professional, but down to earth. He was transparent about the entire process, and provided a fair rate for the job. He and his crew were wonderful to work with - hardworking, meticulous, conscientious, and respectful. The finished product speaks for itself. They did a great job, and we could not be happier with our new deck. read more

Good price good communication good and good work. I couldn't ask for anything more! (This was a very difficult job with heavy timbers 12 to 20 ft off the ground. Most other contractors did not even want to bid it.) read more

I contacted Ken, he responded quickly, I explained the project that I needed to be completed he came out the same day and in less than 24 hours I had his estimate, it was competitive and I decided to use his services.

Very knowable, always cleaned up the work site. Excellent work. Always on time. A pleasure to talk to and everything was explained in homeowners terms. Will definitely use him again for jobs. Very pleased. read more

The steps to our deck were uneven and the supports underneath were damaged. Ken poured concrete, reused our decking material and installed new hand rails that he cut out of wood. All this during this heat wave at a very reasonable rate. Very professional and would ask him again for future jobs. See below for before and after pictures. read more

We were looking for a new deck to replace the one we had built 19 years ago. It was rotting underneath and getting dangerous. Ken dip a great job, putting in a strong underpinning of pressure treated wood, placed on cement footings that all matched (the old ones didn't) and using a 35 year Trex decking on top. We are very happy with the professional and thorough job they did at a reasonable and competitive price. read more

After a long search for a deck contractor, we discovered Ken Rector Construction, and we are very glad we found him! Even though his quote was a bit higher than some of his competitors, it was worth every penny because he knew exactly what we wanted and worked with us to accommodate all of our requests. His work with both the HOA and the county made the whole process seamless. Ken and his associate Rich transformed our aging redwood deck to a stunningly beautiful Trex deck. He exceeded all our expectations as he truly is a hardworking, courteous, perfectionist and we highly recommend him for any decking project you may be contemplating. read more

Ken was professional, efficient and punctual. He's a great craftsman and priced our project fairly.

We are somewhat remote for many contractors but Ken accepted our job. Ken came as scheduled, worked quickly and did a great job for a reasonable price adding additional support to our deck staircase and to our deck for a spa. He & his associate were friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommended! read more

I can't say enough good things about Ken Rector's work. After a frustrating search for contractors, we hired his company to replace our disaster of a front deck. Ken quickly drew up a plan that matched the original layout of the deck and had a building permit issued the next day. I've never seen anyone work as hard as he did or take as much pride in his work. We were also happy to learn that Ken is a certified Trex Platinum Contractor. The finished deck is beautiful--and it's built to last. Unlike the original deck, the new deck and porch roof framing are now fully supported and secured with concrete piers and Simpson hardware. Ken consistently looked after the small details--pre-drilling and countersinking all of the screws and installing the deck treads with hidden fasteners. He didn't cut corners or use inferior materials. Ken also replaced the rotted siding and trim around the deck, putting in new flashing and even painting the new materials. In short, Ken Rector showed the same care and regard for our home that he would for his own. Thank you, Ken--we couldn't be happier! read more

Our deck refurbishment was performed excellently, efficiently and in a highly professional manner!

Ken did an excellent job in replacing our deck railing. Our old wood railing had several issues and was unsightly. Ken replaced it with a beautiful new metal railing. He also added two gates and a full staircase. All of his work looks great! He is very careful about every detail. Ken is also easy to work with. He took time to answer all of our questions. His price was also reasonable! We will keep Ken in mind for future projects. I highly recommend him. read more

Kenny has been nothing short of a perfectionist when it came to building our patio cover and trex deck. We have had many contractors perform various projects around our homes, however never have we had someone so punctual, thorough, and prideful of his work. We are looking forward to having him return for additional projects in and around our home. I cannot recommend him enough! read more

Just had our back deck re-done & added another level to it. Our decks were 15yrs old and were built with an unknown brand of composite that was not installed/build correctly. It was warping & rotting. Ken re-built the frame, using the Trex Transcend line. He completed it in 2 weeks (ahead of schedule). Started early, finished late (in 100 degree temps). We are very pleased! Thank you so much Ken! read more

Ken just finished our AMAZING two story deck on sloped yard! He was diligent in working on our deck until it was completed and only took a few months. We saw him everyday and he became like family. He's such a hard worker! barely breaking for lunch each day and staying late to get ready for inspections. We are so happy and highly recommend his work. read more

If you're doing a deck or stairs, you will be thrilled with Ken's work and attitude. Make sure to get multiple quotes so that you realize how good of a deal he is offering you (he was over 30% less than another quote we got!). Not only did he work fast and for long hours, he was in tune with all of the detail elements of the job (and dealt well with my perfectionism). The finished product is magnificent! He also went above and beyond with accommodating us (working around our toddler's nap time, bringing his own green waste bin to help us with a tree we had to trim for the job, going through piles of lumber to get us the best materials that will last for decades to come). Ken Rector Construction is the best kept secret in Auburn for decks - schedule with him soon before word gets out! read more

Ken and his crew did a great job on our difficult repair on our deck. He was professional, on-time and completed job as promised. Thanks Ken. read more

Outstanding work!! Very professional, and reasonably priced. Ken is very talented! Everything completed on time and as promised!

Ken did a fantastic and very meticulous job of finishing our deck project after we had to let go of our original contractor for many reasons. He was extremely professional throughout the project first correcting all the mistakes the previous contractor created. He quoted a price at the beginning and even though there was probably more work than he anticipated stuck with the original quote. His work ethic and follow through was something I hadn't experienced in many years. Every day before he left he cleaned up the work sight very thoroughly. Frankly if I could give him 10 stars out of 5 I would. There's only one person I would call for my construction needs and that would be Ken Rector. read more

Ken worked hard to have our decks replaced with Trex and we love the results. There was some damaged wood involved on this 40+ year-old house which he repaired well. During Ken's time with us it rained and was cold, but he kept at it showing up even in a downpour and bringing the work to conclusion in a timely manner. Thanks to Ken we have a lovely new set of decks and we would recommend his work to anyone. read more
