We needed our 35 yr old wooden deck replaced. Angie came to our house with samples of decking and…read morerailing, took measurements, gave us a ballpark estimate. Very knowledgeable about composite decking and answered all our questions. She left the samples for us and gave us time to decide. No high-pressure sales! We started this process pretty late in the spring, so had to wait till August until they could get to us, but it was so worth the wait! Chris and his crew were professional, knew exactly what they were doing, but always had time to be pleasant and chat/answer questions. Their work is pristine; every joint matches exactly. We are so impressed! Best part was it only took 3 days and they were done. Plenty of time to enjoy our beautiful new deck before winter. We also like that Deck Dogs gave us a good credit for disassembling and hauling away our old one. Win-Win. We definitely recommend this company!

I spoke to several companies for quotes. Some never got back to me after our initial talk. I had quite a few companies come out to give me quotes. I choose Deck Dogs because I felt Angie really understood my needs and gave me suggestions based on that and our family's lifestyle (2 active little kids that live to be outside, puppy who can't get enough of outdoors, and a place for us to relax). We also looked at options for materials and colors and what would stand up best to my family. I appreciated that she left me with everything I needed (bag of many decking samples, information for railing and lighting packages). The quote was also the easiest and most straight forward. They're pretty busy with everyone wanting home improvements due to COVID and more time at home. My deck project was completed a good 2 months before I was expecting it. And the quickness and thoroughness when the job started was amazing. They were very efficient, very professional and went above and beyond my expectations. They removed my old deck from my home builder that was of questionable quality and installing a new, larger one. Everything looks seamless. We love it. They went above and beyond what I expected (moving my kiddos sandbox and then moving to back and refilling it), patching all the spots where our previous footings were, and spreading the mulch we had under our deck to cover the bare spot where the old stairs were. Way beyond what I expected and the deck looks amazing!

I'm no carpenter but from what I could tell he did everything right, the way it should be, because he kept mentioning this code says this and this code says that, etc... They were on time every day, even worked with snow on the ground so he could complete ahead of schedule. Pricing was good, we learned the hard way with some other projects that the cheapest bid should be avoided. Decksperts came in with a fair price and it was well worth it. Highly recommended!
