Review: Deck Building Service
2 years ago

Installed a entire Polygal roof on my rooftop patio at my restaurant.

Matt Channel and his crew were very reliable and professional understanding my tight schedule to get this project done on time and within my budget. This wasn't easy project being downtown Austin dealing with parking, building inspectors, and the logistics of the project. I am already looking for Matt to do another future project at another one of my restaurants locations in Austin.

Review: Deck Building Service
2 years ago

Designed and built a 730 square foot deck composed of Azek (synthetic material) decking. Their service included interactive design, preparation and submittal of all building permits and inspection documents, foundation and structural work, decking, construction of benches and accommodation of existing large trees, and decorative lighting. The choice of Azek material was significantly more expensive than wood, but the pros (durability and virtually no maintenance) and cons (more expensive than wood) of this choice were explained and we have been completely satisfied with the decision.

We have been completely delighted with the work performed by Southern Outdoor Appeal. Matt Channel - the owner and designer - patiently worked with us as we considered various options - and arranged for us to visit completed projects to help scope the type of material that we ultimately selected. Matt and his team were so helpful, and allowed us to explore various options without any pressure to select one material over another. They gave their opinions when asked - which we appreciated. As the design proceeded, it became apparent that there would need to be some additional work done to deal with some drainage problems. Matt recommended a landscaping firm that we hired separately to solve the drainage problem. We appreciated the fact that Matt steered us to a good firm to solve a problem that could have been quite serious if not dealt with properly.
The bid for the work was clearly explained up front, as was the payment approach. Matt was very careful (and conservative) when presenting the schedule for the work - not over-promising. Once the plans were approved and the city building permit obtained, Matt scheduled the construction and had his crew on the job as promised. We appreciated the crew's professionalism - very clean on the jobsite with attention to cleaning up daily and making sure that any hazards were dealt with. This was important as we have two curious preschool grandsons who could have easily gotten into the work materials. Matt and his project manager Joey were easily accessible for questions, and made regular visits to the jobsite to ensure the work was progressing as envisioned.
Near the completion of the work we had a change of mind and added some lights to the deck. Matt incorporated the changes and arranged for an electrician crew to perform the installation. All of the workers - from the framers to the man who came to haul away the leftover construction debris - were courteous and professional. Matt and Joey performed the final inspection - and Joey personally took care of some remaining details that needed to be done.
In summary, we are 100% satisfied with the design, quality workmanship, and personal service provided by Matt Channel and his team at Southern Outdoor Appeal. We recommend them without hesitation or reservation! All of the "A" ratings that we gave are completely warranted!
