      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team did an excellent job from designing my deck cover, selection of materials, starting on time, showing up everyday, cleaning up each day, communicating daily plans, and even help resolve a pet problem for my dogs. This team has carpenters with 25 plus years of experience, there is nothing they can't handle. They are professional in every aspect of the job from start to finish. This is the 2nd time they have done work for me. Just amazing!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently hired Design a Deck for a large deck project, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. They went above and beyond anything other companies promised, and the quality of their workmanship is truly exceptional.

From the first meeting with Brandon and Alec, their professionalism and communication stood out. They followed up quickly, presented a great design, and stayed engaged throughout the entire project. Everything they said they would do, they did—and more. The work was performed perfectly.

The crew who handled the heavy lifting—Gary, Johnny, and Logan—deserve special recognition. They were personable, friendly, and communicated with us every step of the way. On any large deck project, changes always come up, but they never hesitated to ask our opinion and make sure we were happy with the direction. Their combined craftsmanship was excellent, and they made the entire process surprisingly enjoyable despite the hard work involved.

Gary orchestrated the project flawlessly, keeping things moving smoothly while maintaining great attention to detail. Johnny and Logan both brought impressive skill and pride to their work, and the three of them worked together like a well-oiled machine. They also offered professional suggestions based on their experience, and every recommendation they made contributed to a better final result.

The finished deck is beautiful, structurally solid, and far beyond what we expected. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

I highly recommend Design a Deck, and especially Brandon, Alec, Gary, Johnny, and Logan, to anyone looking for top-quality craftsmanship, excellent communication, and a team that genuinely cares about doing the job right.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't be happier with our new deck and patio from Design-A-Deck! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and truly dedicated to making our vision a reality. Brandon and Alec were always on top of things, providing clear updates and ensuring everything ran smoothly. The contractors—Gary, John, and Logan—did an outstanding job building it all, with impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. They were meticulous throughout the process and cleaned up everything nicely at the end, leaving our yard spotless. Their communication was top-notch (not to mention fun to talk with), addressing any questions promptly and keeping us in the loop every step of the way. The final result is a solid, beautiful addition to our home that we'll enjoy for years. Highly recommend Design-A-Deck—five stars all around!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a nightmare of a deck built by another contractor.  After seeing a friend post about Design-A-Deck we gave them a call to see if they could help.  Our deck was built so poorly we were not sure if anything could be done. We are beyond happy with the end result.  To have another contractor come in to fix this mess ~ WE are Blessed and Grateful!!! Wish we would have used them from the start!!!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the start of our project until the completion of our deck - customer service was exemplary. Our village personnel that issues the building permit said they have never received such a comprehensive package that they were able to approve so easily. Nothing was left out - everything was in perfect order.

When the team arrived to demo our previous deck, they explained everything in detail to us and kept our property so neat and well maintained during this process. Once work began on the replacement deck, they paid excellent attention to every single detail. We had areas with our prior deck that were not secured according to code, the guys reinforced our previous structure until it was perfect.

We could not be happier with our final product and Design A Deck was the easiest contractor we have ever worked with for building. Our deck is now one of the best in our subdivision and people walk by and give us compliments on how nice it looks.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Many thanks to all the guys at Design A Deck for installing my window pergolas! Many others wouldn’t even attempt to install these for me but Alec and Brandon made my wish come true! Gary, Johnny and Logan did an excellent job putting together and installing 3 fiberglass window pergolas for much needed sun protection and dressed up the back view of my house. Great communication and excellent customer service from start to finish! I highly recommend Design A Deck!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The crew that came out to install our deck and cedar pergola was professional and very knowledgeable. They were great about cleaning up after each day and getting the job done in a very timely manner! Would recommend them to anyone looking to install a quality deck! With summer heat there was some slight movement in the boards and after notifying them they were out the next day to address it. Great crew and workmanship!!!!
