Stands behind their work!

Busy Beaver built our composite deck with clear glass aluminum railing back in August of 2006. The deck has been wonderful and low maintenance. However, this August we noticed our glass pane had slipped. We contacted Busy Beaver to inquire about a repair. Within two weeks Francois was at the house and repaired our railing immediately. 13 years later and under no warranty Busy Beaver stood behind their work!

Fence & Deck Build

Francois and his team were very professional and are very good at what they do. We had two fences, a large deck, and a pergola built and it all turned out beautifully. The only drawback is that once the build was underway we spoke mostly with the on-site team, as Francois was busy at other project sites. It would have been nice to see him on site more, but I understand it's a busy season and hard to be at all projects all of the time. His team was very easy to work with, however, and communicated well. I would recommend Busy Beaver to others.

Hello and thank you for your great review, we appreciate your kind words. We are sorry that you feel Francois was not around on the site more often, but unfortunately during the season he has to spread his time throughout all of the jobsites, as well as delivery material when our crews need something, and do quotes for new potential customers....he is a very Busy Beaver. He does however try his best to visit every jobsite daily, so there is a chance you might have missed him on his quick pass through. The crews that work for us are highly skilled and very knowledgeable in outdoor carpentry, and are also there to answer any questions or discuss any changes throughout the construction process. Francois has full confidence in them dealing with our customers, and everything discussed is always brought to Francois attention via phone conversation or when Francois in onsite.

We appreciate your feedback

New deck and fence

Project couldn't have gone any better! Great, positive experience throughout from initial quote to pre-job consultation and communication to execution and clean up. Very pleased with final product. Quote was laid out simple and walked through and costs came in as quoted. Will recommend BB in high regard going forward to anyone asking about fence and decking.

Great Work

We picked Busy Beaver to complete our new deck because from the very start Francois was concerned about doing it right vs cutting corners. We appreciated his feedback and ideas for completing our deck. Noel, who worked on our deck, was friendly, professional and did an excellent job. Started and finished when they said they would. Thank you again, would definitely recommend your company to others.

Deck with Privacy Wall

We could not be happier with our decision to have had Busy Beaver build our new Deck.
Francois and his team are very accommodating and are experienced professionals. There is no corner cutting here. They insist on quality from their suppliers and deliver a product that is well above average.
We do not hesitate to recommend Busy Beaver to anyone looking to do outdoor improvements.

Deck and Storage

Busy Beaver rebuilt our second story deck, which included a built in storage shed on the ground level.
We were impressed by the exceptional level of service and high degree of workmanship provided by Francois and his team. The look and quality of the finished project is excellent!
Francois himself is trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable, patient and fun; which made the entire project stress free and enjoyable.
We are very happy with our new deck, and highly recommend Busy Beaver to anyone with a similar project.

Deck ReBuild

Busy Beaver did a wonderful job removing our old, water-damaged, second-story deck and building us a wonderful, new deck with the same basic footprint. It was no problem to get custom-height railings and choose the colours we wanted for everything. They took our special requests into consideration and didn't consider the project finished until all our requirements were met. Highly recommended.

Deck construction

We are very happy with Busy Beaver's work on our deck. They began and completed the work on schedule. François, the owner, provided, but didn't impose, design ideas during his initial visit to provide an estimate. He was very willing to execute our plan. He came by the site every day to oversee the project and answer any questions we had. Christina in the office was also readily available and very helpful in answering questions and coordinating work with our privately-contracted subcontractors, who did the railings, the lighting and the gas lines. The two crews who did the deck construction work (Wilson and his dad on post-holes, and Noel and Kevin on construction and clean-up) were highly experienced, conscientious and efficient. We really can't speak highly enough of Noel. Their teams were specifically assigned to our job, made us their number one priority, and worked uninterruptedly on our deck until completion four days later. This was a pleasant change from contractors who like to come and dabble for a few hours at a time between other jobs. We're really enjoying our beautiful new deck.

Multi level deck

We added to an existing deck and they incorporated the 2 areas seamlessly and beautifully. We interviewed a few contractors and chose Busy Beaver for a few reasons - Francois had great design ideas, gave us a detailed breakdown of the work and cost and responded quickly.
We had an aggressive timeline due to our son's upcoming wedding and he came through as promised and even earlier than we expected. We are so grateful for that.
His crew is extremely professional, hard working, clean and quick.
We also appreciated Christina keeping us informed and following up with us throughout the project.
We know this is quality work and we will enjoy our new deck for years to come. We would highly recommend them.

It was a pleasure working for you both as well. We did the extension using a different product line of composite(Timbertech) and it went well with the existing deck. The Faux rock skirting also added a nice touch to the existing deck. We hope the wedding went well and everyone enjoyed your new outdoor space. Thank you for the kind words. Have a great summer!!
