New backyard fence

My brother had recommended The Deck Guys after he used them to build a car port and fence. I needed to replace my back yard fence and am very happy with the results. Adam came out to meet me and to take measurements. As we walked, he explained the process in detail and answered all questions I had. The project was seamless. He gave me timelines, followed up with phone calls and kept me in the loop during the installation. I have received many compliments and will be sure to recommend The Deck Guys.

Deck

What a team!!! These craftsmen take a lot of pride in their work and it definitely shows. We never expected our deck to look as great as it does. We were learning as we went along but Scott knew the stairs needed to be wider than we designed and took it upon himself to fix the situation and we couldn't be happier. Thank-you Scott and team!

Most Amazing Deck

As with Covid, everyone and their neighbour was doing some type of backyard landscaping. And also with Covid, came the shortage of materials. I worked with Sean on our deck project who is as honest as they get.

Our project took a long time, but not to The Deck Guy's fault. As mentioned, Covid impact, Mother Nature, City Permit Approval and the challenges of dealing with contract workers and other landscaping jobs at our house made it a longer than normal project.

The guys that work for and contractors that work with The Deck Guys are all great hard working individuals. They are true craftsmen and they listen, should you have any questions or concerns. Sean is a very busy guy running most of the jobs so getting a hold of him can be difficult but I found that he still listened, whether I left him a voicemail or text. I can imagine it difficult to answer when both hands are working.

What we ended up with, after it was all said and done, was an amazing deck that will last us a lifetime. The quality of materials, the quality of workmanship, the attention to detail, it's all top notch and second to none. They do it right the first time. From City Permit, to Helical Piles, to selecting the best foundation wood, to installing the composite decking. Just beautiful and perfect. We had lights put in too and Sean was kind enough to put some in locations where others would not be able to do or want to.

We absolutely love our deck and can't say thank you enough to Sean and team. So if you have the time and patience, can understand that you truly get what you pay for and that they are humans and not machines, Sean and The Deck Guys are the best choice.

gobsmacked as we say in Britain

Having being in the trades for 30 years,it was Wonderfull to meet someone passionate and conscientious about their business like myself and have Scott ,design and install our deck . To have a "professional who not only surpassed my expectations and went beyond , at his own expense to create the most beautiful deck for myself and family i can only say you do not need to search anymore. Scotts expertise and experience will give you results you want without stress .Having seen friends who had decks built by contractors looked like handymans work in comparison, the photo does not show the beautiful glass along the stairs that followed

Pergola Installation

I cannot speak for the quality of their work as we did not start the project. They did return my deposit after a mutual agreement to cancel the project. Their communication could be better.

Kawartha team

Scott, Paul and Logan did an amazing job of replacing our deck, fixing the gazebo and building a cover over the BBQ. Our backyard is beautiful again! They listened to what I wanted and made suggestions that made everything better. My only advice - book early!

New Backyard Fence

We hired The Deck Guys to remove our existing chain link fence and replace with a new one. There were some issues along the way, but ultimately they made sure we were completely satisfied. Some people from the team really went above and beyond.

Pre-sale: The salesperson, Arthur was patient with our many revisions and provided us with multiple quotes until we finalized our design. Some of the wording in the proposal was a bit vague, this resulted in some issues around the number of posts. This issue was resolved with a few phone calls and no extra costs.

Demolition: After booking, demolition occurred months later. In fairness, COVID caused serious staff and material shortages, this was out of their control and they were pretty good about communicating updates and delays. Demolition was quick and the old material was removed quickly.

Post hole digging and post installation: As mentioned, this is where the first issue occurred, but was resolved and the posts went in and the workers were great.

Main-Fence Installation: The guys came to install the main part of the fence without the lattice (to be done later). They arrived and were great about working with us to figure out the spacing of the boards we wanted. This was all in the proposal and there was no issues here.

Lattice Installation: This installation occurred quite a while after the main fence, this was entirely due to COVID-19 material shortages and we wanted a special lattice pattern. They had an employee go WAY above and beyond and was able to track down this material in Muskoka. We were impressed with this as most contractors would not do this.
When the lattice was installed, a different employee arrived, there were a few quality issues, but Steve King, the lead carpenter took ownership of the defects and ensured the work was redone until we were satisfied.

Hi there
First off we did respond to you prior to posting this review. You were told that due to Covid-19 we were delayed with some materials and was leading to a slower response time.
Pressure treated wood is often installed wet. If we did not install wet wood we would never get a deck built. There is nothing wrong with installing wood when it is wet. As a matter of fact sometimes it is preferred dry wood that has been sitting is usually twisted and hard to find a nice straight piece. When wood is fastened when it dries it is held in place.
Having said all that. You elected to do a wood deck. Wood is a natural product that cracks, twists and warps. You would have been informed of the different options for decking and warranty available. No company warranties wood. You can do everything right and because wood is natural it will twist and crack this is unavoidable.
However our crew has been out to your site and has talked to you and addressed some issues.
We have done what we can to help out.
Hopefully now you are happier now and have a better understanding of the materials then when you wrote this review.

Thanks

Awesome crew, great work

The Deck Guys were recommended to us when we purchased a hot tub, because we needed to redo our deck. Right from the start with an estimate, they were awesome. Very communicative and answered any questions we had. They drew up a draft of what we wanted and we ended up with an amazing deck. The crew was fantastic - super professional and hard-working, they were great. Within a week, we had a huge beautiful new deck.

Sean took care of us through the whole process, and was so knowledgeable and helpful with the permit process and any other paperwork that was required. I can't say enough good things about these guys; I will be recommending them to everyone. Thank you!
