Deck Replacement and Arbor

JR and his guys are just awesome. They built the wood arbor, cemented in ground some posts and anchored on stone patio other posts. It was built and stained/painted all in two days. JR had special steel brackets made for it as it is freestanding and he wanted to make sure it would be secure. It came out just gorgeous. Looks like it was always there as it just fit in perfect with the design of the house. Now I won’t have to close my blinds in the afternoon to block out the sun. I can enjoy the beautiful back yard all day. And we can enjoy the shaded part of the patio even on hot summer days. About 5 years ago, JR redid both of my upper story decks and the support that extends down to the first floor porch. He did such a great job on them and they are holding up so well, I just had to have him do this project also. And both my husband and I are glad we did. We will always us JR for any decking or arbor projects and we will highly recommend him to friends.

Replacement Deck

We met with JR and discussed the layout of the deck and he took measurements and made note of the variance in the grade of the ground in the area and provided sketches of the design. We had underground water pipes for our irrigation system and pool plumbing underlying part of the proposed deck and he successfully built the founding piers around them . Within two weeks he was removing the old rotted deck and placing new base posts in cement footing. It was a somewhat difficult configuration with two levels, properly meeting between the house and the concrete pool deck which were not at 90 degree angles. We had to make adjustments while the building was in progress and we managed those changes successfully. It was all completed within a week, cleaned up and we could not be happier with the finished product and have received numerous compliments from friends and family.

Replacement Composite Deck with Railings

We are very pleased with the work that he and crew did on the deck. He was very prompt in completing this rather large project. He arrived when he said he would and his crew was very respectful. The quality of the construction was outstanding. We have received a lot of compliments on our deck from our neighbors. The color slection he recommended along with the railings matched our trim and brick color very well. I would highly recommend his services for others seeking a well built deck.

Description of work:
JR constructed a composite deck with railings around my elevated patio. He removed existing railings and a section of deck along one side. He came promptly after I contacted him to develop a plan. I provided him with a rough sketch of what I wanted and he gave me other ideas I liked. He was flexible with changes I recommended just before he began construction.

Cedar Deck with Arbor

After contacting and receiving estimates from several vendors on Angie’s list we chose J. R. Custom decks because his deck design was the best and the estimated cost was several hundred dollars less than his competitors. He gave an estimate of $6,400 for a 12.6 by 13.6 foot cedar deck with an arbor. The deck has a chevron pattern with a built in cedar bench on one side. The deck railings are black metal poles which makes the deck look really nice. The timeline for completion was 4-5 days. He was able to construct the deck in 3 work days. The final cost was the same as the original estimate. The site was cleaned up well; his two man crew was professional and very efficient. I would strongly recommend his service to family and friends and would not hesitate to use his services again.

Custom Composite Deck

The building of our deck went extremely well. Excellent work was done. Work was started early each morning and the workers did not leave to go to other jobs. That was a big plus for us.

Description of work:
After one year of searching for someone to build our deck, I finally found J.R. on Angie’s list. If there would have been an A+ rating, I would have given it to him and his crew. After deciding on a plan and the type of material to use (we used composite, well worth the extra cost), J. R. gave me a start date. They were at our house for five days, always on time and very polite. When the job was finished, everything was cleaned up and hauled off. I would highly recommend J.R. He really went out of his way to make sure we were happy with the finished product.

Cedar Decks with Lattice, Railings, Skirting, and Bench

We picked JR because of his reviews on Angie’s List after getting reviews from other companies that left us feeling uneasy. JR came out to our home, listened to what we wanted, took measurements and e-mailed us a plan and a price within 2 days. There was absolutely no pressure to sign and commit on the spot like we had experienced with other deck builders that had come to our home. The price JR gave us was excellent, and after a couple of revisions, and a plan drawn up by JR for the HOA approval, work started around the 23rd of October. There was some delays due to injury and rain, but both decks were finished in 7 days, as well as the additional patio trim. We are delighted with our new decks and they look even better than we had imagined. We highly recommend JR and would hire him again.

Description of work:
JR built 2 cedar decks for us. One was an extension of our concrete patio and the other was a 12 x 14 deck with a cedar arbor for our hot tub. The decks included lattice, railings, skirting and a bench. JR also added a lattice trim around our covered patio for additional privacy.

Patio Cover

Outstanding! J.R. provided what I needed to get approval from my HOA, got the permit, and got my patio cover built. I couldn’t ask for more or better service.

Description of work:
I had a cover built for my patio. The experience with this company was outstanding. I got exactly what I wanted. J.R. and his workers were punctual, courteous, and did an awesome job. J.R. said it would take 2 days and it did. I would absolutely recommend this company and hire them again.

Replacement Cedar Deck

JR came for a site visit and promptly sent an estimate for the work. He understood exactly what I described and provided an excellent picture with the estimate. JR started work on the day promised. He was on site each day with his crew and they were all very courteous and worked steadily each day. JR ensured all the work was properly permitted and inspected. The work area was left clean each day and at the end of the project. JR’s initial estimate was a firm bid and was exactly what I paid for the work. I love the new deck and would recommend JR to anyone thinking about this type work.

Description of work:
JR demolished and removed my old 12 by 36 foot deck. He replaced it with a beautiful 12 by 36 cedar deck. He added a partial cover which was about 12 by 24 feet. The underside of the cover was Hardy board and he arranged for an electrician to install two ceiling fans. He built steps on three sides.
