By taking the time and initiative to research deck builders-deck contractors, you have put the odds more in your favor of getting an excellent quality deck that will provide 20+ years of service. I say that the majority of decks to be built in 2022 (every year I say this) will be a detriment to the value and eventual saleability of the homes that they will be attached to. Despite the fact that decks are more difficult and time consuming (building codes) than ever to build, this easy entry business is loaded with under-achievers, know littles, and just plain slobs. Dangerous underbidding and illegal business practices that leave the unwary homeowner vulnerable to property liens and stop work orders from local building departments are more and more common. More than ever, dealing with the "right" contractor is essential to your peace of mind and financial well-being. If you are like most people, you get one crack at the deck project. If the Bozo someone hired to build their deck, really butchers it, they'll not likely have the money to redo the botched job. And when the project is that bad, they're dreaming if they think it won't need to be reconstructed from scratch. I see this plenty of times throughout the year. Not a nice thought!


I have an A+ with the Better Business Bureau. I am the right contractor and I am your alternative to the "usual" contractor.


I take deck building serious. Click here for proof. I will give you the "straight talk" that you desire and together we will come up with a solution that works for you.

 
 
What Makes the "A-Affordable Experience", Different?

In a nutshell, I am the difference. I take more pride in my business than most other contractors. I am very good at what I do. The sales, advertising, scheduling, material material, hiring, management, designing, making deadlines.

• I cover all the details
There are many contractors that tend to be vague about what they propose and insist that you just "trust them". Of course after the vague contract is signed, they are going to buy much of the material in the sale bins at Menards. In other words, inferior quality. I do my best to cover everything. So, you know what you are getting and so that there are not the typical surprise charges at the end of the job. Contracting for a deck should not be like buying a car!  


• Selection. I offer all the options that work. (There's an abundance of junk out there). I'll do my best to direct you to what I believe to be the right product(s). 

• Misunderstandings are rare. You're not dealing with a salesman who, has never picked up a hammer in his life. You deal with me. That means 30 years of *quality" deck and carpentry experience at your disposal. (I entered the business in 1986 by fluke) I am usually able to steer my customers (when needed) in the "right" direction. (Designs, dimensions, materials, budget) I am a consultant. I am here to help you.


• I have an attention to detail that most contractors lack. I'll admit that, it took a while to get this way. Also, I monitor the ongoing studies that test various aspects of traditional deck construction to come up with improved methods of building. So many of the "lunks" out there, feel that they have reached a point where there is no more to learn.

• My deck crew(s) consist of neat, highly skilled, ethical, hardworking, considerate Americans that speak English. No illegals and no ignoramuses...This is important to me!

(I'll be supplying material to a job, applying for permits, estimating, digging holes, writing & sending contracts, performing a deck inspection, reading a story to my kids, singing a Sinatra or Dean Martin tune in a nightclub, and just generally running around like a maniac. Like most people.)
