Deck Builder reviews across the US

McGrath Carpentry built a 10x12 platform as the base of a shed on a steep backyard incline. Great craftsmanship. The job was completed as planned, the crew was professional, efficient and considerate of my specific needs. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a deck or carpentry related project.

I would like to start off by saying everything that Kieran said he would do, he made sure it was done. His crew was very professional and answered any questions that we had. Their work was excellent and we are very happy with the final product. I would recommend McGrath Carpentry to any of my friends and family.

Wow ..... what professionals ! They showed up on time,cleaned up at the end and were perfectionists in their work. They took down an ugly front porch and replaced it with a real work of art. Mr. McGrath was a pleasure to deal with and his price was fair. His crew members were very professional and took a lot of care in their work. I have had dealings with a number of carpenters and contractors over the years and this was the BEST. In addition, they involved us in all aspects of the design and selection of materials and we are very pleased.

I had McGrath Carpentry do a project for me in my basement that included adding a wall, french door, new flooring, new trim and ceiling and their work was excellent. Kieran and his staff were professional throughout the entire project and very easy to work with. I will be calling them again for future projects!

Kieran and his crew are amazing! Kieran is fair and honest! Kieran showed up when he said with his crew and crafted a beautiful deck, bench and privacy wall! I am already looking to hire him for several other projects he was that good!! Honestly hire his company because to him reputation is EVERYTHING! As a consumer who has limited knowledge about carpentry he was extremely professional. He was a pleasure to work with and his crew was respectful and courteous too! 5 stars all the way! I can’t wait to hire him for another job!

Everything was perfect! They did an amazing job building us a new deck! They were even able to add a built in gate for our kids! Everyone was very polite and responsive to any request and went above and beyond cleaning up and removing old deck! Highly recommend McGrath Carpentry for any of your needs! Will definitely use them again in the future!!!!

We had several quotes to replace our front porch. It is fairly large, about 12x23. We picked Kieran and his crew because of the pics we saw of his work and personally because of his honesty and demeanor. He suggested things that made a big difference in the outcome of the finish work that no one else did. His crew were the best. If you need any carpentry work done you won’t find anyone better. We will use him again and have already recommended him to our friends.

I just had my old wooden deck removed down to the joists and replaced with composite decking with vinyl rails by Kieran and his company. They were quick and had it done within a couple weeks of my first call to them. Their price was reasonable and the work was excellent. They clearly took every effort to do the job with the highest skill possible and the outcome is very high quality. They didn’t try to convince me I needed more (like replacing the foundation and joists) done than I knew was necessary. They also offered me options like not charging me for demolition and removal of the old wood if I chose to do that part myself as I had already started to do so before I contacted them. I chose to let them complete that portion but I was offered the choice to finish and have that cost removed from their estimate. They gave me price quotes for both traditional wood or composite/vinyl and I believe both were reasonably priced . The amount extra I paid for composite combined with their quality work left me with an attractive deck that I already trust will last.

Kieran and his team did an excellent job building a composite decking step with rails over our old, crumbling concrete front step. I've had multiple neighbors stop by and fawn over their work. The quality is top notch and Kieran was clear and direct in his communication, we knew our options right off the bat and the work was delivered exactly as we discussed. Would use again and recommend to anyone.

From start to finish, working with McGrath Carpentry was a positive experience. I would not hesitate to recommend them. I'm so happy with my new deck. Kieran and his crew are friendly, professional and skilled.

We had a great experience with McGrath Carpentry. From the beginning, the owner was prompt and reliable with getting back to us for an estimate for a deck. This continued throughout the whole building process. His pricing was realistic and reasonable. Mr.McGrath kept within all the timeframes and costs he quoted for us. His crew was very friendly and professional. Our deck is exactly what we wanted and beautiful! We would definitely use McGrath Carpentry again and would recommend their services to others.

McGrath carpentry recently rebuilt our deck. We could not be happier with the results. The complete process from quote to construction was without any difficulty. The precision of the carpentry and care given to the construction resulted in a deck which exceeded our expectations. The design recommendations improved what we wanted. They left a clean and beautiful deck and work area. McGrath gets our highest rating. His crew is exceptional. Polite, kind and precise.

We felt very lucky to find Kieran. He and his crews’‘expertise did an amazing job tearing down our upper deck and rebuilding a beautiful composite deck with new stairs. We were so pleased we hired him to deconstruct and reinforce our lower deck for a new hot tub. He even fit the lower deck into his schedule In time for a hot tub delivery. They cleaned up and left the yard like new. He is an excellent carpenter (and his crew is great). Best of all his pricing was fair and reasonable. We plan on hiring him for more work in the future. You won’t regret hiring him.

Kieran and his crew did an amazing job replacing our old fence with a custom built new one around our pool. They arrived on time, were courteous, efficient, and cleaned up all materials after the job was complete. We're thrilled with the new fence, and we'll definitely be using McGrath Carpentry for future projects.

We hired McGrath Carpentry to tear off our old pressure treated lumber deck and replace it with Timber Tech. They did an excellent job. We chose to have our decking laid in a diamond pattern as opposed to just horizontal boards. Even though it's a more difficult option, they did it perfectly. The workers were careful around the landscaping that surrounds the deck and asked before stepping near the plantings. We found all of the men who worked on the project to be cordial and courteous as well as conscientious. One of the things I found most pleasing was how well Kieran stayed in communication. He would text if there was a delay or any issue that needed our attention. We are very pleased with the finished product and they did a good job cleaning up and carrying away the discarded materials. We would give them our highest recommendation.

We were incredibly impressed with McGrath Carpentry. Incredibly quick and professional. They finished our entire front porch replacement in one workday. Kieran is also a very nice guy. He’s not going to nickel and dime you, and he’s definitely not going to slide anything past you. Very upfront, direct, and honest. The crew was super friendly and professional. Would highly recommend to any and all of my friends and family. We will be booking them in the future for future projects.

I had a great experience with McGrath Carpentry. I had a deck torn out and replaced. The craftsmanship is outstanding, much more than I expected. They were on time every day, cleaned up their work mess every afternoon, hauled every scrap of old wood away and cleaned up after themselves when they were done. Kieran is such a down-to-earth guy, I really enjoyed having him do the work. I feel like I was treated honestly and most certainly respectfully. His price was fair, he uses quality materials, and my deck is engineered and architected really well. He definitely knows what he's doing and takes pride in doing it well.

I found McGrath Carpentry online after searching for several deck builders in the area. His many positive reviews prompted me to call and I'm so glad I found Kieran and his crew. The estimate was very competitive and he was able to get us scheduled quickly (much sooner than expected). My wife and I selected composite material for our old board replacement and we couldn't be happier with the result. Kieran and his team are excellent craftsmen with a true professional's concern for the quality of their work. They made several structural improvements along the way giving us a foundation that is now much stronger than what we gave them to work with. Those unforeseen upgrades would typically leave a homeowner nervous about the added cost, but for the labor and material that went into what was done, I was pleasantly surprised how little he charged for it. Any reader of this review should feel confident in hiring McGrath Carpentry and know that you're getting a fair price for quality work done by professional, courteous tradesmen. There's no fancy website to check out first, but ultimately customer satisfaction is what matters most. Reading the reviews of others is ultimately why I decided to set up an estimate and I'm hopeful my review serves the same purpose. We've hired many contractors over the years and this experience was, by far, the most stress-free rewarding experience we've had. Call him, you'll be glad you did!

Kieran and his team did a great job installing a new vinyl deck using framework we already had. They were efficient, professional, and respectful. Highly recommend!!!

Kieran and his team did an amazing job extending and redecking our back deck. Communication was great throughout the process. The team showed up every day and worked through some pretty harsh conditions. I really appreciate their work and highly recommend them.

Recently had my 27-year-old deck demolished and replaced with a new wooden deck. I was dreading the experience but everyone from McGrath Carpentry made it painless. I upgraded to a vinyl railing and am very happy I did so. The carpentry work was amazing to watch. I have a 27-year-old hydrangea vine growing up one post and they worked around that and even built me a little gate to my side deck entrance to replace the plastic childproof gate I've been using for years. Everyone on the crew was very accommodating to me and my dogs so we could get out in the yard when we needed to. I highly recommend contacting them to do any deck construction.
