Atwood Wood Deck Builders

Owner had new decking materials delivered to site. Burke construction removed and carted off existing decking, then installed new decking in a timely manner. The entry door was handled separately and finished in one day.

TME did a great job.  They demolished and removed the entire existing rotted deck and rail at our 100-yr old home.  The new deck required that a new floor frame be built first without nailing it to the deck surface so as not to puncture the underlying waterproof layer of tar.  The frame had to be constantly adjusted to create a reasonable amount of slope for drainage while providing a comfortable level surface to walk on.  Finally, a beautiful hardwood deck was installed with rails to perfectly match the style of the home - all custom work.  We were very happy with the result.  Great guys to work with.  My dog made new friends, too!

Bottom line: Kobi & co will do your job excellently at a reasonable price & on-schedule, with no surprises. In my case, they actually finished the deck early - & only because these guys worked hard every day, & even came in on Saturday for the last day to keep the momentum going. It's difficult to express how incredibly rare this is in the industry. Some more details: I am a very cautious person - it takes me a long time to "start" because I always want to do more research. That being said, Kobi managed to get my trust where many other contractors had not. He was prompt & responsive. He was also flexible in the places where we were unsure on the design, as well as the starting schedule. He's also straightforward - I had a big problem with larger construction outfits that tried to upsell me with confusing powerpoint presentations. Kobi & team also accomplished creating the backyard raised deck my wife & I were looking for just perfectly. Kobi was flexible with us, & we can be difficult clients - we were changing the design right up until the contract was actually signed. I couldn't have asked for a better process & outcome!

After we had an addition completed by Avil, we asked him to replace our old wooden deck with a new manufactured wood deck. They put in new footings and made the deck to our specifications. They adjusted aspects during building at our request. Even though we didn't think about this they also added deck lighting. They constructed a pergola out of beautiful hardwood. The deck is the best room of our house. They even bought us a hose pot to put our deck house in.

Overall, things went well. There were some delays due to more damage to the existing deck requiring a change order as well as a delay on materials delivery but Dick and his crew kept things moving as quickly as possible. They also cleaned up at the end of each work day which was especially appreciated since I have two golden retrievers who tend to bring "new and different" things into the house. Whenever I had questions or problems I could count on hearing from Dick the same day. He was very good to work with. I am very pleased with the end result and friends have complimented the looks.

We have used him for many years, and he does general handyman kind of stuff like construction, etc. He has done quite a bit of work for us. He is very professional. His workers haul all the crap away when they are finished with their work.

Building a deck may not seem like a huge addition but it required an architect, a structural engineer, pulling permits and approval by the city. All of which I found intimidating. We had arranged for our own architect and engineer but in hind sight I recommend you go through Victor and Noa from start to finish. This will stream line the process and require less back and forth from all the separate entities that we found frustrating. MUCH changed during the duration of the project. What our architect had designed on paper needed adjustments during the actual building process. Victor provided us with options and alternatives. He was always patient and incredibly helpful with the coordinating required to keep our project in motion. Through our many changes Victor ensured that what we envisioned was possible and that the end product would be structurally sound lasting for many years to come. They use very good quality products and we think the time and resources were well spent. We love the end product. It adds to the house and to our enjoyment of it. Thank you Noa and Victor. I am truly grateful to you both and do not know how this project would have been completed without you. Your knowledge and guidance are indispensable. You both are a pleasure to work with. We look forward to building with you in the future.

Gary's workers showed every day starting about 7:30. They did an excellent job. They were considerate of me, my children and many pets. At the end of every day they made sure open areas were roped off and gates shut. The work was done in a logical and orderly fashion. When we have guest over, they ALWAYS comment on our new decks.

Ron from Nat'l Deck and Stairs came out to give an estimate to repair existing wood decks. I was told they only use another material to waterproof decks, and do not repair wood decks. I'm confused, because in previous customer reports it states repair to a wood deck was done. It seemed as if the contractor did not want to do job.

First; because this company builds decks only their price was more than competitive. So much lower than all of the other estimates I got, that I was a little bit hesitant. I had nothing to worry about. John was wonderful; from signing the contract all the way through to coming by when it was finished. He kept his eye on the project all along. He also came up with ideas that neither I nor any of the other companies thought of. They checked carefully to see if permits were needed (no, thank goodness) which I always appreciate. Angel was in charge of the work being done, and in fact did most of it. He is highly personable, professional and works his butt off. As the deck was being built he came up with ideas to improve the project and solved any problems that came up. I do have to say that this is one if those companies that work on more than one project at a time. So if you're in a hurry you need to be clear with them about your timeline. When we had an unforeseeable delay John found a way to shorten the delay time. I have to say that this cost me LESS THAN HALF of what my highest estimate was, and I can't imagine a better outcome. The pictures don't do it justice.
