The estimate, design, demo, and build processes all went smoothly because of Agustin and his crew, who started every day bright and early - even when utterly frigid. Like any big project, there were some unforseen challenges, but Agustin communicated with us regularly and made the design changes and/or repairs that were necessary to push forward. Agustin and the crew did a great job with the deck and patio modifications to accommodate. I highly recommend Creative Exteriors Plus!

Our builder (Churchill Classics) charged an arm and a leg, and we didn't want to go back to them for another quote, so I scheduled over 15 contractors to come out in 2 days. Of the contractors that came out, Agustin was the first. He was on time, knowledgeable, and gave me plenty of ammunition to go up against the remaining contractors. Although Creative Exteriors Plus was one of the most expensive options we looked at, it was also the only truly professional experience that left a great taste in my mouth going forward. Augustin of Creative Exteriors Plus is fantastic! I always look for contractors with strong integrity, who are honest, and who have no issues answering even the dumbest of questions. Agustin not only gave me peace of mind when meeting us, but he was also very open and honest about everything, from the work, scheduling, payment, and timeframe, to the actual products he used. Before screening in our deck, I wanted to stain/seal the deck and power wash it but didn't want to spend the extra capital getting it professionally done. Agustin also helped walk me through products to look at, steps to properly power wash, and troubleshooting via text the whole way through. At one point, I mentioned that my Google caller ID had picked up another business name, Prime Construction Corp, and I wanted to verify if this was related to him or what the connection was. Agustin called me right away and explained that it was an old business they contracted with bigger vendors, but during COVID, they pivoted and no longer have any affiliation with that business. He was quite surprised it popped up with his number. We had a great laugh about it, and I really appreciated how straightforward he was with this information. I love his transparency and honesty throughout the whole process, and we even contacted him again about possibly screening in/putting a roof over our walkup basement door. He was very candid, advising that having the window on the side and a lack of trees nearby would attribute to more cost and effort than a solid result. After brainstorming, we came up with the idea of buying screens and velcroing them around the rails (haven't put this plan into action yet), but I very much appreciate his candor and encouragement that this is a project I can do myself. The entire project was done in roughly 3 days: two days of work back to back, and then 1 Saturday due to rain. The screen is so beautifully and meticulously done that it doesn't even look like a screen is there. His team also managed to perfectly match our current post layout when constructing a new post and adding a door. The door also comes with a cool feature: it has a window that slides down. They also included 2 new keys for the door, and Agustin did a full walkthrough with us to ensure we were fully happy with the results. Before completing the deck, his team also power washed the bug gunk off the deck and removed some of the remaining tape I had forgotten to remove when I stained the deck. He also offered to come back and install our ceiling fan once we actually pick one out. He's local and always just a short text away if I need anything. I cannot recommend Creative Exteriors Plus enough and absolutely rave about Agustin to everyone I know! Thank you so much for all of your hard work, and we will definitely be using you again in the near future for fencing/patio options.

We had the worst customer service experience we've ever had at this store. It's almost too long to…read morerecount here but I will give it a try. We ordered an Anderson patio door here in October and specified that we wanted an outswing door. From this point on, every single encounter with 84 Lumber was full of frustrations. Our name/contact info was never entered into the system so any time I called, it was like pulling teeth to even get started. The delivery of the door was scheduled but then the day of delivery, no one showed up so after multiple phone calls, we found out that the person who ordered our door and scheduled the delivery had been fired. We finally had it delivered and the contractor came a few days later to install the door. Turns out the fired employee ordered the wrong door. Not only did it not open out, it was also a lower-quality door. Which the contractors did not realize until they had already taken out the old door. Given that this was now November, they had to install the wrong door so that we weren't living with a hole in the wall. When we called 84 Lumber to make sure we wouldn't be charged for this, we were told the manager didn't even bother to show up that day but the visiting manager assured us that we should go ahead with the installing of the wrong door until the correct door could be ordered/installed. So we went into the store 2 days later to order the correct door. The salesperson printed out the invoice so that we could double-check it. At this point we found out that we had been overcharged for the lower-quality wrong door by $1400!! The manager did not seem at all concerned about this, which only makes me wonder how many times this kind of fraud is happening. We were told the door would arrive on 12/20. I called the store on 12/20 and was told the door was in. They never called to tell us. Based on the label on the box, we think it had arrived to the store at least a week prior. Why were we not called? Because of this delay, it could not be installed before January. Luckily, this was the correct door. But of course, the contractors had to come out again to take out the wrong door and put in the right door. So we paid the contractors $500 more than we would have if it had been the right door to begin with. As long as this summary is, it cannot adequately capture the hassle and stress that we had to go through thanks to this store's complete incompetence. The only good thing is that had we not gotten the wrong door, we would have never known we had been overcharged by $1400. But you cannot overcharge a customer by that amount of money and act like it's no big deal. You cannot screw something up so entirely that the customer has to pay $500 more for the contractor to fix the issue. I have never experienced such incompetence in my life. If I was this bad at my job, I would have been fired years ago.
