Original deck
James H.

I hired Samuel to replace an old deck after my wife stepped through one of the boards. After getting several bids from different companies, I chose them because it was clear from talking to Samuel that he knew from a lot of first-hand experience how best to tackle this project. His thorough descriptions of what needed to be done and the methods they'd use that others didn't go into (like applying Trex tape on all joists for frame longevity) as well as his ideas for doing a two-toned deck design were what sold me. I also liked that he was the one doing the actual building rather than just contracting out all of the work. After Samuel's crew handled the demolition in short order, they discovered that the 6x6 cedar posts that had been supporting our 2nd floor patio were heavily rotted on the concrete base below the old deck. At that point, Samuel pivoted the effort to ensuring the 2nd floor was structurally sound by securing and installing new 14' cedar posts from Kyle, TX before focusing back on the deck. He made sure to use high quality anti-corrosion metal brackets at the base of the posts with the posts raised off of the concrete to future-proof the new posts. I was extremely relieved that he was able to address this given how soft and spongy the base of the old posts had been. With that out of the way, Samuel was able to turn his attention back on the deck which he, along with another member of his crew, worked steadily on until the job was complete. This included replacing the 2nd floor patio boards and rails as well since I was impressed with his craftsmanship and trusted his abilities after the post replacements. I appreciated that Samuel didn't rush to get the job done and took pride in his work. In the end, the deck came out beautifully and better than I had imagined it would, particularly the stairs which I know was a lot of detailed work.

Gaps left instead of professionally crafted.

1. I told Sam to replace the back deck only, not to replace the back ramp as it did not need it. Sam hired someone else to do the back deck and was not present when the new hire took out the back deck AND the ramp. He asked me to pay $150 for something to do with his error, which I did. I believe the new hire replaced the back deck and ramp. 2. I asked Samuel to replace the front deck including the ramp. He did not do a good job. The last board at the bottom of the ramp should have been even with the driveway since I am in a wheelchair and need that transition to be safe. The last board was not even. See the 1/4" height difference in photo below. Next, Sam put down boards in front of the front door and forgot to nail down sections to boards underneath, which made the screen door hang up opening or closing. It also caught on my wheels. See no nails in front section in photos below. 3. Then I saw the end of a board was sticking up on front deck. On closer inspection, Samuel had not nailed down the end to the board beneath because the board had not been cut and placed correctly to place a nail. Then, toward the end of the job, he asked me to take a look at the front deck and ramp. He had not cut a board to fit around the front door properly, so he just left a gap between the house and the first board. I asked him to fill that gap. He should have constructed it properly in the first place, or at least fill the gap before asking me if it was satisfactory as was. He does not take pride in his work. See the gaps between the first board and house below. Then, I saw something sticking out of a deck board. It looks like a wooden peg popping out. Not sure what's happening there. See below. The painter was sloppy and spilled white paint on the new deck and wiped it up, but left a stain. See 1 of many spills below: Sam really did a jigsaw job of my deck. Because he did not carefully measure and cut boards to fit existing structure, he has to fill gaps with little pieces. See below: Finally, he did not know how to handle the last board and he placed it vertically, which is not how the original was placed.

New trex stairs
Noreen N.

Our old stairs needed to be replaced & Samuel responded quickly & was able to start work right away. I appreciate that he was very detailed & exact and that he didn't cut any corners or rush the project despite some delays due to weather & complications once the old stairs were removed. The trex stairs look great & I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out.

Samuel and his crew did a fantastic job on my fence. Demo'd the old fence was able to get my 170 foot cedar fence done in about 6-7 hours. His price was more competitive than the other 2 bids (also obtained from Yelp). His company is a smaller operation, so you talk to him directly. Overall, very satisfied.

He did a phenomenal job on our fence and deck. He is a hard worker and very talented. Super friendly. Nothing but good things to say about him

Had a unique request to install Little Libraries for our neighborhood. Samuel Decks & Fence made quoting easy via text. Setting up a time for installation was a breeze. Work was high quality and considered wear and tear, weather, and who would be accessing the libraries. We are thrilled and will definitely call on Samuel Decks & Fence again!

Door installed

Samuel helped us out by sending some of his guys to work on a few quick turn around projects (tile job and framing interior wall). We will definitely keep him on our short list of reliable contractors. It is refreshing to have someone do what they say they will do. He was responsive and fair and stands behind his work.

Samuel did a high quality job redoing our back fence at a fair price. He was super open and communicated with us through the entire process. I am in love with the beautiful craftsmanship and look of the fence. We will enjoy this for many years. We will definitely contact him again in the future for projects.

In a word: Responsive! Chris and team were outstanding to work with. Very effective…read morecommunications. Clear and concise. Listened to what I wanted to accomplish and offered effective suggestions for how best to make it happen! Started the project with a group prayer not only for the project and his team but also for the health and welfare of my family! Not your typical start to a project. Chris and team worked effectively to demo an 800 sq ft deck and rebuild it along a similar footprint in a short 3 weeks. They took great care to treat the place like it was their own and left it cleaner than they found it! Highly recommend this group for great work at an honest price! Chris' dog Rambler was a gentle giant and onsite frequently during the project. He was sweet and friendly while constantly curious!

I requested a quote for deck and pergola repairs (basically replacing maybe ten deck planks and…read moremaybe fifteen 2x2's on the pergola) and potentially re-stain it afterwards. Chris sent another man to my house and he briefly videotaped the deck but didn't do anything to assess the condition of the deck framing or anything other than what I pointed out to him. Within an hour I received an odd message from Chris saying that they didn't want to work on my deck because it was not in good enough condition. Honestly, why do you think I called you to come out and repair the deck? How good of condition does my deck have to be in for you to work on it?? I didn't place a cap on the quote or limit them in any way. My guess is that Chris believed that this work wouldn't be as profitable as some new deck builds. It was a complete waste of both our our time and I wouldn't recommend this company based on this.
