Indianapolis Deck Builders

"He up 4 plans for ideas and we could choose one of them or come up with additional designs. We chose one of the four he up. His designs were very creative and he understood what we wanted. The estimate appointment was quick and the turn around time for our deck was quick. He got the deck finished in ...more three or four days. He also gave us instructions on maintaining the deck and the coating to put on it a few weeks later. His price was very reasonable. He is really nice and I would definatly hire him again in the future. He has done a few other decks in our neighborhood."

"I had seen their product at Flower and Patio Show and called to have estimate. Took a while to get scheduled but was happy with explanation of service. I was told by the salesperson they would not use pressurized powerwashers to clean the deck (so not to damage the wood), however this was exactly what was used to clean the deck. I didn't mind that ...more they cleaned it this way - I just didn't like that it was not consistent with what the salesperson said. They also didn't protect my plants around the deck exactly as they had described (although they recovered ok). Work was done on time and workers were professional and willing to answer my questions. I was happy with end result except for a fair amount of fraying of the wood from the cleaning process (which has improved with time). I guess only time will tell how well the product works, but looks good so far."

"I have used many times over the past 4 years for a variety of home improvement projects. The owner, , is always friendly, responsive, dependable, and does excellent work. I trust his professional opinions and recommendations, and I trust him in my house!"

" and completely rock! I will be using them again if I need any masonry or other services they provide. ARS's estimate was at least 1/5 less than of the other contractors I got estimates from and his estimate had him doing more work than the other contractors. His solutions also worked and look to be ...more the right advice compared to some of the other work that the other contractors were wanting to do to solve some of my water issues.

matched up my bricks on my home perfectly - actually he chose about 5 different styles and I picked 2 of the 5 to use as replacement bricks. You can't even tell they got replaced. The concrete work that he did looks great.

even did some work that I didn't know he was going to do - he replaced some crappy looking masonry where the previous owner had just smoothed concrete over a hole in the brick foundation with actual bricks. It looks great now where it used to be an eye sore! I was having water in my basement and I was pretty sure it had to do with water pooling near my driveway and a bad slope that was pointing towards the house. I have had at least 5 people out to recommend a solution and

is the only one that offered a good one. He dug a trench and ran a porous pipe to catch any water that might make its way near the home. He also had concrete poured to move the water away from the home towards the street. I thought there is no way that I could afford it and yet he did it for way less than what some other people told me it would cost to have done.

's wife

communicated frequently with me during the process and let me know when they were running late or if there were any issues during the time they worked. They sent a contract to begin work and were responsive over the phone and through email.

deserves your consideration for work that you need done to your home."

"He was pretty good, he didn't really know how to do what we wanted him to do but he tried. I think putting it together was good, but his finesse wasn't good. We kind of asked them something weird and he tried. We are happy with what we have. We didn't have other estimates so I'm not sure how pricing was. He was very good, he came and got the job ...more done he just wasn't real sure how to do what we were asking him. It was pretty close to what we asked for. We asked him to leave the posts tall so we could close it in and make a porch out of it, and that was not something he had done before. The job was not too bad. There is potential for us to use him again. There were just a couple points of the deck that when it was finished out weren't exactly the way they were supposed to be."

" was very easy to work with. He came out right away and gave me a very knowledgable and reasonable estimate. I hired him on the spot. However, due to his work load at the time it took a while before he was able to get to my job. This was fine with me as I was not in any big hurry. His man showed up on time and worked all ...more day without taking a break. The work site was cleaned up each day and I was extremely happy with the work done."

"The person who came out was very personable and very dependable. He was very knowledgeable too. If he didn't know the answer he always got back to me. He was a nice person to work with and was very pleasant. I have dealt with contractors who have not been so nice. He was probably at the top. He had a flexible schedule and we worked with him. ...more It turned out okay. There are somethings I as an owner should have been aware of, and it was my fault. I asked for rough cedar on the ledges which I shouldn't have. I should have had smooth ones like I had originally. I'll probably have him come back later. He was a very kind and nice person. "

"Earthwood-Arts consulted on the project from start to finish. They designed the composite deck, obtained materials, and completed a beautiful space on a deadline in time for a big family party. We get tons of compliments on the deck and all of the landscaping they have done. They also repaired masonry/brick work on another patio at the house. The ...more craftsmanship was top shelf and I know the deck will last for years."
