    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

    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!

    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.

Bidding, construction, and gate commissioning were a breeze. All team members were extremely professional, knowledgable, and responsive. Detail: We reviewed four companies in the Austin area for a fence extension and automated gate for security purposes. Absolute Fence & Gate were outstanding to work with: they came in cheaper than all other alternatives, were the most responsive with clear communication, and were very knowledgable about the options within our space. Amanda was extremely responsive and helped us scope out our initial ask to coordinate an onsite bid walk quickly and helped sort out billing. Travis helped develop our initial concept for a gate into an efficient, turn-key solution that would abide by local codes and fit within our budget. After clarifying our scope, the project was completed at a lightning pace. They staggered the required demo of our old fence until the day they'd be able to erect the fencing to minimize the amount of time our house was exposed to the street. The work crews were very professional and Travis and his team clearly explained the scope each day and progress updates. In addition, Cade and the gate operator crew were outstanding. They set up the motor and made sure all items were functional tested. They did a terrific job commissioning the equipment and explaining how to use it. The commissioning team also noted that our gate operator had a minor issue and contacted the manufacturer for a same-day under warranty solution. The level of service was outstanding, and I was very pleased to have a total turnkey solution. During the construction, Travis would check in with the teams and ensure quality work which resulted in zero punch items at final walk. Travis even performed a final QA check on the operator to make sure operation was up to their quality standard. Every team member was very knowledgeable and professional. They provided excellent advice and suggestions and helped us craft our gate idea into a solution with a terrific product!

Craig Jolicoeur was so responsive, thoughtful and meticulous that you'd think it was his own fence that was going up. He didn't waste my time like others did with endless and irrelevant questions. He was straight to the point, efficient, and always friendly. The fence and gate look terrific and my friends are delighted. Good value, too. While Absolute Fence didn't submit the cheapest quote, I knew I was getting quality materials and finish for a great price.

A few didn't even bother sending a quote, but out of those that did Discount Fence was competitive pricing wise. Quote process After doing measurements, Melissa & I walked through what they offered, & quickly came up with a plan for our yard. Once we were done she had a quote to me before she left my driveway, then later followed up to check if I had any questions. Installation Absolutely lightning quick. Melissa & her crew showed up early to get started, I went to drop off my kids at school & they already had my old fence down before I got back (8am). It took them until about 11-11:30 & they were done installing our fence. I was shocked at how quick they worked & the fence looks great. Afterwards Melissa was back to do the inspection & make sure everything was looking good. Long story shorter is that Discount Fence knocked it out of the park at every stage, & what really pushed them over the edge was that they offered a warranty above & beyond anyone else. Last thing I'll say is that Melissa was super nice & great to talk to, if you're looking for a new fence I would recommend putting Discount Fence at the top of your list.

Here's the gist of what I learned: about half of the contractors are honest.. they make the process fun and are a real pleasure to deal with; the other half are dishonest... they string you along, make the process a hassle, and are a real pain. Chris (the owner) and his team are a shining example of what great contractors SHOULD be. For starters, Chris is an extremely kind and responsive person. From my first phone call with him (he showed up the same-day, on a SUNDAY) to my projects completion day.. he always responded quickly, was extremely polite, and very thorough. (He never gives you those weak 2-word text responses like lesser contractors). Chris helped me design my deck and pick out the best materials for my needs. He used a 3D rendering software that shows you exactly how your deck is going to look in your backyard. It was actually really cool, and helped me make some tweaks to the design before starting construction. After signing my contract, his crew showed up the very next morning. These guys were absolute studs. They worked their butts off from 8am - 6pm every day until the job was complete... wow! Many days I work from home, so I was able to watch them. They didn't rush their work, they were very calculated and meticulous about doing the job the right way (a marathon not a sprint mentality). This doesn't mean they're slow, it means they care about the details and doing things right. His crew also isn't a bunch of 20 year old rookies playing on their phones either. These guys all look to be in their mid 30's and early 40's. Men with lots of experience.. they have families to feed, work extremely hard, and know what they're doing. The craftsmanship was phenomenal. The engineering very structurally sound. The design is beautiful and actually has my neighbors giving compliments. Anytime there was an issue during the project (and there weren't many), Chris and his crew fixed it immediately like it was no problem at all. Easy peasy. Chris did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, and charged me what he said he was going to charge. Actually.. he went above and beyond what he said he was going to do, he made improvements to the project beyond what was promised, and even gave me a discount at the very end because of a few minor details.. which he didn't have to do. I didn't complain and I didn't request a discount...that's just the kind of guy he is. Incredible. I'm going to mention one last thing I was going to leave out but I think it's important. Every morning before work began, Chris gathers his crew and they do a group prayer together. They ask each other what's going on in their personal lives, and what they can pray for each other about. Then they read a short scripture out loud together, and they start their day. Unbelievably cool. Why do they call themselves Sasquatch? Because these guys are freaking beasts. This is one of those rare experiences where I had a feeling it was going to go well, and it turned out even better than I had imagined. There's a reason why they have so many 5 star reviews. If you're looking to have a deck built in Austin I'm going to help you... skip the weak fluff and go with Sasquatch.
