Derek Pallister, of DAT Construction, recently installed a deck extension from our existing deck to incorporate our newly installed on-ground pool. From the very beginning, as he worked with us to lay out a plan and discuss the various alternatives we had for building the deck, Derek was extremely accommodating and helpful with the final design. He offered his own expertise regarding design options and explained clearly the pluses and minuses of certain approaches, including "value for money". With his guidance, we were able to confidently agree on all aspects of the project such as the most appropriate building materials and best design for our needs along with a reasonable timeframe and construction process for the project. Throughout the project work, Derek's approach was always highly professional but also very personally involved with our expectations for a first class result. And a first class result is what we got! We highly recommend Derek and DAT Construction for anyone considering Deck or Interior Renovation projects. Mike & Pauline
