Philadelphia Deck Builders

"Had lived in my house for around 4 years, and finally decided that it was time to do something about the old cracked up concrete patio in the back. Called a number of contractors, and was the only one who actually called me back and came as scheduled to discuss the job. We talked about scope, price, and his vision for the work. ...more While his initial estimate was outside of my budget, he was more than willing to work with me to come to a scope and price that worked both both of us. The job took longer than estimated, but it was more than worth it. The finished product was a beautiful new concrete patio with brick trim, and 7' block wall across the back with elaborate brick trim and plaster. I have plans to add a driveway later in the year, and I fully intend to have

back to do that work. I would strongly recommend

to anyone looking for precision masonry work. Feel free to contact me for pictures of the work. -

"My experience with was disappointing and unprofessional. My wife and I needed to replace our back door frame, door and door window glass. We also wanted to talk about our options for a complete back porch remodel. I was pleasantly surprised when I called and at Creative said he could be out the next day ...more at noon to take a look. But the next day at 12:30pm when

had not yet arrived I called to see what the problem might be. His answer: "Oh, yeah, sorry about that I kinda forgot. Anyway the job is going to be too small for us to make it worth the trip." That was it. I was struck by the general lack of professionalism shown by Mr.

that even a quick phone call to let us know he wasn't coming was not in order. But I was more surprised by his conclusion that the job was "too small" when he had neither seen the house nor discussed details of the job with us. I will not be calling or recommending

again."

"Called to request estimate. Never got a call back...called again, was told it would be two week before they could send someone to come out. I guess they didn't want or need the work. Went with another more responsive and professional outfit."

"We didn't end up using them because the job became less of a priority for us. He explained everything that he was going to do. He pointed out some issues with the construction. He was very detailed and informative. The job would only have taken a day. He explained the price and everything."

"Exceptional. Truly exceptional service. Extremely responsive, constant and detailed e-mails, cared deeply about craftsmanship, beautiful work, unfailingly polite, made deadlines, kept promises, cleaned up after themselves, charmed the neighbors and the dog. Very good with old houses, too. Referred them to two friends, one an architect who was impressed ...more by their knowledge of structural issues. Will miss them when they're not here."

" Builder transformed an old shell property to a beautiful house. ?They are responsible, punctual, trust worthy, full of creative ideas, and do excellent job on schedule. ?They always responded quickly and professionally to all of our requests and questions. and are great to deal ...more with. ?They are honest and straight forward. ?Since this was such a big job, by the end of the project, we felt like

at the very least like friends! ?

saved us a lot of money too. ?He is willing to upgrade with the materials that he bought at discount and pass the savings on to his clients. We were able to upgrade some doors, a window and also our shower stall floor with river rock stone that looked gorgeous!? The house looked so attractive that we were able to sell the place in less than 3 months in this

, and that says it all!! "

" was responsive, responsible and easy to deal with. The project was small and he fit it in among his other work in a way that worked well for both of us. He also stayed with it over a very long wet summer session that kept getting in the way of sealing the roofdeck. "

"We asked our neighbor to recommend his contractor after his porch construction last summer. came to our home the day after our call. He listened carefully to us as we explained the projects we had in mind, examined our property, took measurements and came back the next day with an estimate. We were fortunate that he had some ...more time in his schedule and after we agreed to the contract he and his builders were on site. Within ten days we had a new back fence and new front porch!"
