  Russett Deck Professionals Inc

  His work was OK but slow. He gave me a time frame of one month and it took more than two to complete the task. Mr. Barna never put in an 8 hour day. A few hours here and there. Sometimes he just showed up and dropped off some materials and left. Usually he appeared around Noon and was gone by three P.M. He also did some things of questionable nature like framing the deck on top of my shrubbery. When I asked him why he would do such a thing he replied "Usually the customer will us not to" His words "You know how it is some times when you get on a roll you don't want to stop ? " His son stood there nodding his head in agreement. This seemed to be a no brainer to me that if your going to build something you would be sure there was nothing in the way to interfere with that construction. If I had not caught him in the act and insisted he cut down the shrubs he would have surely continued. By now I would have bushes growing up under the deck and between the boards of my deck. Another move was the removal of some of the siding where the old deck was connected to the house. It was raining that week and I happened to go downstairs to get a tool. Water was running down the cider blocks above the windows because the rain flashing was not properly reinstalled. Now I have trouble with the gazebo door not shutting and out of alignment and the gate posts are loose and need reinforcing to make them solid. I have tried to get him to come over and look at his work sent him E-mails requesting assistance but to no avail. He E-mailed me back and gave me attitude about how busy he was and yadda yadda. Mr. Barna had no problem taking my money though. Every time he knocked on the door it was I need another 10,000 dollars. Ten thousand here ten thousand there to the tune of 46,000.00 dollars i paid. I kept my end of the contractual agreement and paid him in full and on time. Now that the project is finished and payment requirements have been met it so long. I call for service and what do I get ? Attitude and I will get to it when I get to It. The **** with my plans right ? The irony of all this is that the deck hasn't even been used yet and its already falling apart. loose gates and doors that wont close lumpy siding that was not replaced but just shifted around is not the mark of a good craftsman and the refusal to come over in a timely manner speaks for itself. It seemed that the closer we got to the end of the project the sloppier he got. Smearing window caulking and screens that don,t fit the window openings all spell sloppiness and just get it done. If I had to rethink this project again, I would rethink this project again... and not with Russett Decks.

  Tom Barna is a true craftsman and does excellent work. He tore the old deck and hauled it away then started the frame work for a whole new project. Step by step I monitored the progress checking the way he did things against you tube videos. Every cut was spot on and every decision he made was a good one. Joining and connecting railings digging post holes and pouring footers all done up to code. Never once did he tell me no. On top of all this he was just a nice person to deal with. No dark agendas lurking in the background. If all my contractors were like Tom I would be a happy camper for sure. If need future work done I will hire him for sure. Tom god bless your honest heart and spirit.

  It was perfect. My wife and I had been discussing a deck or a patio for the back of the house for 3 or 4 months. We contacted Tom and he came out in just a few days. We sat down and shared our general thoughts, and he made recommendations based on that. No long meetings, no sales tactics. He just took our ideas, and then a few days later sent us a plan. We offered some changes, which he perfectly incorporated, and within a week of signing paperwork he was starting our project. He worked through the snow, and finished the deck in less than a week! The cost was higher than we wanted it to be, but it was definitely very competitive. Good craftsmanship is not cheap. We are thrilled with our new deck, and strongly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a deck.

  Jaye was a good communicator before, during, and after the job. I appreciated his professionalism and quality of work. He also did an amazing job cleaning afterwards. He has a great attention to detail and I would definitely hire him again.

  Design Construction, Inc.

  Great job, we are extremely happy with the finished product. Keith and Jeff and all of their guys are awesome. They did a top quality job at a reasonable price. They paid very close attention to details and ensured that the project was completed to our satisfaction. They even did a few extras such as mounting some of our old cabinets in the garage, at no extra charge. We would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them for any construction / remodeling projects..

  Atlas Remodeling

  Sean the owner was much more than just someone there to rip up the old decking and lay down new planks.  He thoroughly explored the deck framing and recommended improvements so the deck would remain structurally sound for another 20 years.  Once he gave us a price, that was pretty much it; he found he needed to do some work he hadn't anticipated he just charged minimal amounts for additional materials. The labor was just absorbed into the original price.  His team's workmanship was very good.  Long story short, I've already recommended Atlas to my neighbor.
