We met with four businesses and carefully evaluated their offerings, services, quality of previous work, and costs. We ultimately chose the Deck Buddy primarily because of their professionalism, approach, and openness during the selection process. Doru was the primary point of contact throughout the entire process, and we chose to work with them because of his dedication, approach, and responsiveness. Every day, his team was punctual, courteous, and clean. They began on schedule and completed the entire project ahead of schedule. We are pleased with our deck and highly recommend his business and staff. Excellent work.

He even gave us lights on the stairs! His work is admired by family, friends, and even other licensed contractors we have working to complete other tasks. It was one of the best contractor experiences I've ever had!

AMAZING! If I could give Whitmer Decks six (or more) stars, I wouldn't hesitate…read more Cliff Whitmer and his entire crew--Sam, Mike, Pavlo, Wade, and Keen--truly knocked it out of the park from start to finish. From our very first meeting with Cliff (the company owner!) to the final walk-through with Sam, the project manager, the experience was exceptional every step of the way. The communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. Not once did we feel anything less than a top priority. Texts were answered within an hour, and emails were always returned within hours. That level of responsiveness gave us complete confidence and peace of mind. Mike, Pavlo, and Wade were the primary builders, and they were phenomenal. They treated us like rock stars during the entire three-and-a-half-week build. Mike, the lead carpenter, took the time to explain every phase of the project in detail, which my wife and I truly appreciated. Whitmer Decks removed our old deck and built a beautiful new 14x12 screened porch, along with a 10x10 deck and staircase. I'm no professional photographer, but the results speak for themselves--we are absolutely thrilled. We can't wait for warmer weather so we can fully enjoy our stunning new space. The craftsmanship is simply incredible. These guys are true artists. Every time we look at the work Whitmer Decks completed, we're blown away all over again. Thank you to Cliff, Sam, Mike, Pavlo, Wade, Keen--and Spark Roofing as well. You are all amazing, and we will not hesitate to give our highest recommendation to anyone who asks. I want to mention that their estimate/upgrade process was incredibly easy and actually fun to work with! Each upgrade came with about 5-10 photos that were VERY helpful in envisioning what the final product would actually look like! With gratitude, Shawn Purcell

Complete waste of my time. To set up the appointment for a quote, I shared I wanted to replace my…read morewood decks with composite and screen in the lower deck. It was very clear. Spent an hour at my house discussing and taking measurements. Waited nearly two weeks for the quote and get a call they don't "replace" and confirmed they said they only do new construction per the "manager". Missed HOA deadline for May due to waiting on this final quote to make my decision to submit the application. Frustrating. They clearly didn't want the job or update your website to remove "deck replacement".

Had to actually get back in touch with one of the contractors because he had forgotten to send me the estimate for the project. Got in touch with W & A construction, William P. showed up on time to have a look at the repairs that needed to be done, sent me an estimate in a timely manner. William and his crew showed up on time to start with the project, got to work right away and I was very happy with the results and the price, repairs looked better than brand new. I do recommend W & A construction, very professional business, will call them again in the future.

To me that's not worthy of bad star ratings I can tell you from my perspective this family and the people that work for them are great to work with. We went and talked to them got a quote for a pool last year put a nonrefundable thousand dollar deposit down because we knew we wanted a pool and was not supposed to have started the dig until August 2024 ( this year ), because we put a deposit down a few people in line dropped off to wait, which bumped us up and our pool was started in November 2023 and completed a month later. From the time they started digging until the end of this season, they have been nothing but helpful. Anytime I have water issues. I take a water sample in and both Jane or Amber will look at it and guide me on what needs to be added. Anybody that is looking to have a pool put in needs to give them a chance keep in mind they're a small company so they have a set of guys that work on a pool so there is a waiting period but they are very much worth the wait.

We wanted a large chain linked fence area for a chicken run…read more And as I mentioned to Joe of the problems we needed to solve, he said he could build us a little wood retaining wall, would weld a chain link fence over the top too, and build tunnel from the run into the gated area. Struck me as an eager problem solver. He really did a good job of it over all. The wooden retaining wall wasn't perfect though, like they didn't put a gravel bed down first which AFAIK is usually done. And oddly the sides were built with the angle of the hill slope vs building the side level with the back as it probably should have been (level with the back, then level up to front tapper of a downward slope). Although it added some wacky charm to it which fits our custom chicken coup anyhow. The whole chain linked fence with welded top (of crossmembers and chain link) is great, the tunnel was way better than expected (very study and solid). But I'll take one point off for: A) I wish Joe was a more communicative over the build period, and B) He charged almost double the VA legal max for the deposit. Overall he did good by us and happy we chose Joe to do this work.

JOE is a fraud. He is a complete sham, dishonest, and unprincipled - DO NOT USE KIDWELL Fencing AT…read moreALL After paying him over $14,000 and he happily cashed it immediately, he pulled a bait and switch on us. We paid $4800 for an elegant arch fence but he installed an extremely cheap fence and hope we didn't notice. The worse part about him was he didn't even think about asking for our approval. He just installed another gate because "How would a woman notice?" We have text messages and photos of him showing us the gate we approved, but then he installed another. Who cheats families like this? Furthermore, when we sent an email with all the photo and text message evidence, he called us crazy and said it was a "pretty" fence and he made a "mistake" by installing another fence. For a man that has been in business for 33 years, that's not a mistake. When he finally cowardly admitted he made a mistake and he re-ordered it on August 1- he kept telling us it will be here in 2 weeks... 2 weeks go by and he avoids our calls and communications. With over 8 attempts to collect proof that he ordered the correct fence we paid for (which turned out to be $990.00) to which we charged us $4800, the supplier- Iron Mountain- confirmed that he JUST made the order on August 18th. When I confronted him on this, he called me a child and said he would come to my office to "discuss". Why would he think it is okay to persuade me that I am wrong when I paid him in full $14,000 worth to install a cheap gate and he's avoiding correcting his mistake. JOE is a fraud. not one word in his mouth is true. He is a shady contractor and I urge all families out there to take caution of Kidwell Fencing. In addition to my gate, I had them complete my fence mind you it's only 293 ft of 4 board padlock with wire mesh and that took his team nearly 4 weeks to complete. The issues arose when his team only worked 4 hours a day, left a colossal mess with their personal garbage including watermelon everywhere, and the worse was when they kept driving over my septic tank when my husband told them not to. The pure disrespect and unprofessionalism. Note, I am a contractor and I own a federal construction company and it's companies like Kidwell Fencing that gives us a bad name. Joe is a duplicitous con man.
