We are currently pursuing legal action to recoup our money that was given to James Baldwin at Select Decks. We have been unsuccessful in communicating with James to resolve our issue. I have called, texted, emailed and even visited his place of business to talk to him. Our decks were to be completed by the end of May, and there has been NO work started, at all. Of course, communication before he received our down payment was easy and timely. Do not use this company! I would give him negative stars if I could. read more

Update: Mr. Baldwin still has not provided us with the $12,676.10 that he stole from us. Further, our lawyer is having an impossible time locating or contacting him. Not only is this company practicing theft, they are impossible to communicate with, even professionally, Please let me know if you are even remotely thinking of using this company and I can personally share our horrible story with you. read more

Working with SelectDecks was a nightmare. In early March of 2025, we contracted Select Decks to redo 2 levels of decking. We made it clear via email with James that we needed everything completed by 5/8, and he agreed it was doable as long as they got started quickly. Demo of 1 level took place mid-April, and on 4/22 we were prompted to make color selections for the new decking. On both 5/1, and 5/6 we reached out to SelectDecks because the project was running behind. In May we had numerous phone calls with James' remote phone assistant who provided various excuses for the delay. On 5/21 the assistant told us 'materials were ready for pickup' (2 weeks after the project was supposed to be entirely completed, and with less than half of the demolition done). On 6/1 we called requesting an update and asking why we had not heard from James regarding the ongoing delay. On 6/3 we received an email from James stating "we anticipate having all the decking down this week", and requesting the 1st progress payment via wire transfer rather than using their online portal, with the claim that the online portal was 'changing vendors'. This concerned us, and we requested a revised invoice properly scoped for the amount of work that had been performed, as well as evidence of the payment vendor change. We received no response to our request, and no decking was laid down. Subsequent attempts to reach out to SelectDecks by phone went unanswered. We subsequently retained a lawyer to pursue SelectDecks breach of contract. She sent a letter to SelectDecks demanding they finish the one level of deck they had demoed by 7/3. The letter finally got a response from James, who agreed to the terms we proposed - completion of decking on what was demoed by 7/3 in exchange for the progress payment and termination of any further obligations on either side. The partial work was eventually completed on 7/8, and Select Decks was ultimately paid half of the total contract amount for less than half of the total contract work. I cannot recommend strongly enough against using this company read more

i work out of town so it was very important to me to find someone I could trust to build our deck. From the initial meeting with James I felt as though these guys were the right fit and I'm glad we made the decision to go with them. Kept me informed, handled changes made by me, and ultimately delivered a near flawless outdoor space. Would recommend to anybody! read more

James said "I will not leave until you are 100% happy", he left and I am not happy. The process took over 6 months with many 3 or 4 hour work days. Phone calls, emails, and texts have gone unanswered for months. We have been left with boards popping and warping, improper spacing, and leaks in installed rain system. My opinion, stay away from Select Decks. Scott Galster read more

I just moved into a new house in the Pittsburgh area with husband and two kids. The deck and gazebo were ancient and we needed major renovations to make our property the place we always dreamed of. SelectDecks delivered an incredibly beautiful product and were fair, open, and communicative through the entire process. I highly recommend them and their fantastic business. read more

We love our new porch! The whole process from the first meeting to final walk through was very professionally handled and pleasant. We had an idea of what we wanted but couldn't even begin to hit on the details until James came up with some ideas to really pull it all together. We really couldn't as for more, the workmanship was fantastic, the guys were nice/clean/mannerly, and our new porch is just perfect. I would highly recommend SelectDecks without one bit of hesitation. Fantastic job! read more

We had selectdecks put a Trex deck on our new home. I can't say enough good things about the crew and our new deck. Super nice and hardworking, our family is loving our outdoor space!! So glad that we chose them to work with on this project. read more

The guys at SelectDecks created more than just a deck for us. They talk about outdoor living and now I know why. From walking us through the options, pros and cons of different materials, and even adding a retaining wall we hadn't thought about this was an all around great experience. Can't say enough good things about what they did for me and my family, thank you! read more

There is a reason he has a "C" rating at the BBB. Do your research dont hire these guys. They can build a nice deck but anything beyond that (in our case a roof that leaked until we hired someone else to fix it) they are over their heads and wont admit it until its too late. He stopped returning my calls, disappointed. read more

We were very excited to use James for our project based on his initial visit to our house. He promised a design and proposal one week later and we have not heard from him (that was three months ago). The worst part was that his assistant Alex lied to us over and over again saying we would have the drawing any day, and James was almost finished. So, my initial impression of total professionalism sank to a total lack of integrity. read more

Bummer. After six months we had nothing completed, a yard full of trash, and an email inbox full of BS. Question? In all of the glowing reviews on SD the "reviewer" lists an address other than Morgantown. Why is that? Mike F. read more

Their worker James did a fantastic job! Their team got my backyard and roof deck fixed. I really love working with them.
