8/12/24 We…read morecontracted with Adam Griest, owner of Dynamic Decksteriors, in 2022 for deck work. At the time of construction, a sprinkler line 6" underground was cut while digging a hole for one of the eight piers required for the project. The city building inspector satisfactorily passed all eight piers stating that they were all 36" deep. After two years, I noticed that water was coming out from under one of the piers because of the cut sprinkler line. The water eroded a small cavern under that pier and revealed that the pier was only 6" deep (a short pier). I brought this problem to Adam's attention on 3/16/24. In the past 5 months, he has yet to inspect the problem after having been sent multiple emails, photos, and videos explaining and illustrating the problem. All I have ever wanted was for him to honor his 10-year warranty on his work by fixing the short pier problem, repair the cut sprinkler line, and prove that the 7 other piers in the project are the correct depth. Phone calls to the office go to voicemail that states that all questions and concerns are to be emailed to Dynamic Decksteriors' sales department. The voicemail box is full and is unable to accept messages. His 10-year warranty is useless when he doesn't respond to emails, nobody answers the office phone, and the voicemail is full. Based on his inability/unwillingness to inspect the problem since being notified of the problem on 3/16/24, I can only draw the conclusion that he has no intention of honoring his 10-year warranty. This is the impetus for this review. I have contacted the Johnson County Licensing Review Board (CLRB) to initiate a complaint against Dynamic Decksteriors for failing to fix this building code violation issue. This process is pending. We also filed a complaint with the BBB on 4/8/24. The complaint was closed on 5/31/24 by the BBB after Adam never responded to the complaint. While we are happy with the rest of the deck that encountered the typical problems, and fixed, during construction, we can not recommend Dynamic Decksteriors for your decking needs. It is because we are happy with the rest of the deck is the only thing preventing a 1-star rating. Pictures and a video of the problem are attached to my Yelp review for Dynamic Decksteriors - Lenexa. (https://www.yelp.com/biz/dynamic-decksteriors-lenexa) Dynamic Decksteriors appears to be affiliated with Deck N' Outdoor as they are located at the same address.

The project ended up costing more than anticipated because of the extensive damage but every step of the way they told us exactly what they found and a couple of options to fix. I will only use Natural Breeze from now on.

We will be using them for any of our future projects!

0 Stars My horrid…read morehorrible experience with the a-team who, in my opinion (IMO), does not live up to their name unless a= amateurs. In summary, I had a porch redone and they: 1. put in tongue and groove porch decking with screws like a patio deck, 2. left up to ¼ inch gaps between the tongue and groove on nearly half the porch, 3. left an inch visible gap next to a column on the porch deck, 4. took three times coming back to put the railing on straight, 5. and, overbilled needed "additional work" and tried to gaslight me into agreeing I got a good deal. Do you want details? Keep reading. After talking me up on their quality of work I decided to pay for a porch replacement for my house. I felt good; the price was on the high side but I really wanted a quality job. After doing the tear out, the project lead told me they needed to do additional structural work under the porch. He gave a tear out and rebuild or repair option. In my opinion (IMO), he was clearly disappointed when I didn't agree to just have them replace the entire structure underneath the porch (for a hefty bid increase). The additional work needed was setting 3 new joists next to existing joists, adding 8 joist hangers to existing joists, and adding cripples to the center joist. Nothing had to be torn out or separately supported beyond what was already needed to replace the porch rim. The project manager bid that this work was going to take 2 carpenters a half a day's work was completely outrageous. When I complained that the additional work he was proposing was "Price Gouging" and did not represent the work being proposed, he agreed it might be overbid and said he would have his workers specifically track time on the additional work. I agreed this was an equitable way to track the needed additional work. When the job was done and final inspection was offered, several problems stood out. 1. the bottom stair was half missing, 2. the railings were several inches out of level and square, 3. the railings were cut off square to the round columns rather than wrapping around as they had been before and 4. the worst... the tongue and groove decking was put down with screws and spaces like patio decking (¼ inch spaces on one end) I complained and they came back... and complained and they came back... and complained and they came back. After three times back to the house to improve the quality of work, the decking was still fubar'd but the railing was straight. (1/4 inch gaps in the tongue and groove, 1 inch gap between the flooring and a column, tongue and groove not cut off on the ends, and, of course, all the screw heads in the flooring. IMO, very sloppy). They then quit responding to me. Definitely Not the Quality I Hoped For. When such obvious errors and shortcuts can be seen on a job as simple as a porch column repair and flooring replacement, one wonders what shortcuts and problems are hidden inside bigger jobs...the pics they take don't point out these flaws and IMO, gave me a false sense of knowing what was happening with the repair work since I could not be on site. On the billing, it was the full amount for the extra work with no explanation. After dodging my calls for a few days, the project lead responded and tried to BS me by saying his team really spent a half day on that part of the job despite not having tracked it as promised. He then highly embellished the work that needed to be done by calling out tasks that were part of the original work and claiming they had to be done for the additional work request. When I knew enough about construction repair to challenge his claims, he backed off. He then changed tactics and went on to say the overcharge was really due to underestimating how much time it took his team to repair the porch columns from the original bid. He said that everything really balanced out because of that extra work and "I was really getting a good deal". l told him I thought it was bill charging shenanigans and price gouging. When the owner was confronted, he claimed it was unreasonable to expect a crew to accurately document time on a task despite his foreman saying they would. Buyer be warned... If you want a team who will follow through on what they promise and will do the job right, keep looking. IMO steer clear of the a-team when looking to make home repairs and upgrades; I will be for my next home repair and restoration project.

The quote was accurate, they used excellent materials (selected from a set of recommendations in the quote), and they did a great job. I have never seen a group of people work harder than A-Team. They worked through Covid with only a few days missed when someone was out and they were not able to fill in with someone from another project. There were daily updates on progress and they cleaned up the site every evening before they left. I found everyone from the office staff to the construction professionals to be knowledgeable and very well-informed. Their prices were very reasonable too. I am very happy with their work and would choose A-Team again for any project in the future.

We thought Melvin was the BEST!!!! Above and beyond. My mom's foundation was cracked and we needed…read morea new retaining wall outside as well as 2 concrete walls inside that were caving in. They fixed it in a timely manner and everything seemed to be as expected until we found that him and his crew had built the wall crushing one of her electricity lines causing her to lose power to 75% of the house. My mom is 86, and every time she had him help her, he would give her a price and by the time he was done, he had charged her triple than what he quoted her. We had used Melvin for a couple other jobs, fixing my mom's car and working on the water line in the basement. When he worked on the water line, he quoted her $1200. She told him she is on a fixed income and she could not spend more than $900. Melvin said ok and continued the work. When he was finished he came up and handed my mom a bill for $1700. My mom told him she didn't have that and he told her to take out a heloc loan On her home. He then texted her every week moving forward with an arrow and the total amount of $1700 circled. He was harassing her. When we found out about the electricity, We called Melvin because he promised us, he guarantees all of his work for life. We had told him that we had 3 other companies come out to test for the electricity and we had been shown 3 times it was crushed under the wall and the only lights that worked in my moms house were in the bedroom. It cost $5000 to fix it and Melvin told us he did not want to do the work, hire one of the companies and he would split it with my mom. My mom is 86 years old. This was in February. After calling Melvin every week for 3 months, he finally called my mom in May and paid her $1115. Still to this day, he has not paid her the other $1115 that he owes her. My mom is the sweetest lady and she has really struggled financially trying to stay in her home until she dies, and this man took such advantage of her, after he sat and prayed with her telling her she was family. This is a scam particularly on older people who don't have any idea what truly needs to be fixed. I would not trust him or recommend this company to anyone.
