This review of our 2023 deck rebuild is long overdue. We interviewed 5 contractors, and thankfully selected PM Construction One. They did an excellent job! Pavel & Ruben provided dependable communication and they were great partners throughout the process. They provided design recommendations along the way that enhanced the final deck build, and they were patient and responsive to all our concerns. Pavel, and partner Ruben, were superb craftsmen on this deck rebuild - their attention to detail and craftsmanship were top notch, and we couldn't be happier with the end result. The finished work exceeded our expectations. PM Construction One was a true partner on our project, and they provided great customer service throughout.

Our approximately 700 sq ft deck design plan was a bit unusual, with complex engineering & permit requirements, atypical angled elements, 2 stair runs, 3 door threshold wraps, and included a secondary level. The primary deck design plan required 17 concrete footer pours, on a sloped site. We also replaced a smaller exit deck as well.
For both decks, we chose a decking surface made by the Wolf brand, and we chose a 2 color "picture frame" treatment, using hidden fasteners, and fascia board wraps; our handrail system is comprised of metal posts with stainless steel cables, topped with an Ipe wood, aka Iron Wood, top rail employing tight and complex angle joints. We opted for LED lighting on our steps as well. We're very happy with all our material choices, but more importantly, we're incredibly pleased with the quality of our final deck rebuild, and with our choice in hiring PM Construction One. Our deck, now almost 2 years old has been fantastic, and we're very pleased with how well it's holding up over time.
Lastly, during the course of construction, we discovered some water damage within an exterior wall of the house. As homeowners, discovery of unanticipated problems is never a good thing. But after some discussion, we decided to move forward with further exploration to assess the full scope of damage and the repairs that would be necessary. They did a great job in helping us understand the importance of this necessary repair, and they did a first-rate job and quickly knocked out this framing and siding repair. We were nervous about this unexpected additional cost, but we felt that the contractor was fair in their billing for this unexpected additional work.
From my experience, you could not go wrong in hiring PM Construction One for your deck project! read more
