Deck Builder reviews across the US

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.

McGrath Carpentry built a new fence, in a professional, prompt and interactive manner for us. We were happy with the look, and we were pleased to see how our garden looks so much better with new wood providing the back drop.
The cost was reasonable and the crew was a very cohesive group and were able to answer the few questions that we did have, and do so with courtesy and interest.
We generally are not huge on suggesting contractors to other potential customers, but McGrath Carpentry gets a thumbs up from us , and YES … we would recommend
them for your carpentry needs.

Kieran and his crew (props to Ken and Mike!) did an excellent job creating our new landing! McGrath Carpentry delivered in every category- reasonable price, timely, courteous, friendly, and most importantly, great craftsmanship. After we had removed our old deck made of pressure-treated lumber, which was 35 yrs old, we extended our concrete driveway and wanted to replace just a small section of deck-a landing with stairs and railings at our side door. We decided on composite decking (Fiberon Expresso and Latte) for its longevity and minimal maintenance. It looks just as I had envisioned. It adds so much to the esthetics of our home. My wife and I couldn’t be happier. They were conscientious with their clean up as well. Thank you again for a great job! Highly recommend!

McGrath Carpentry built our new composite deck. Kieran and his crew did an outstanding job. Their attention to detail is second to none. The entire group were a pleasure to work with. Always on point, hard working, courteous, and never took shortcuts with construction. We are 100+% pleased and highly recommend McGrath Carpentry for all carpentry projects.

McGrath Carpentry and the team did an amazing job. They showed up and worked hard to get the porch built in a day. They cleaned up and left my property in great condition. If it weren’t for the new porch, I never would have known they did any work. I would definitely recommend them for any job.

Kieran and his crew are the best! They built a deck on the front of my house and it looks fabulous!!! The workmanship is second to none and I can't say enough about the professionalism that was exemplified during the entire process. This company is definitely rated A++ in my opinion.

McGrath Carpentry was professional,
communicated well, prices are proper , did what they said they would do, and they are skilled at what they do. Kieran and the crew were nice and easy people to deal with as well. We are very happy with our deck.

We hired McGrath Carpentry to demolish an old deck and build a brand new one and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the initial conversation with Kieran (the owner), there was always great communication from the whole entire crew. Kieran came out within a few days of calling for a quote… and just a few days later we signed the contract. They began the work in 10 days after waiting for the permits. He told us they’ll be able to start once they have that and he stuck to his word, they were at our house the next day. They made sure things were built/placed where we wanted them to be before installing. It was a pretty big project that they were able to have completed in under a week (weather played some factor or I’m sure it would have been done sooner). The guys worked from the time they arrived, until it was time to go with barely any stoppage in between. They were sure to pick up their mess when the project was done, you would never know they were even there. Very professional. I highly recommend them and will recommend them to everyone we know.

I hired McGrath Carpentry to build a custom design (that a chose) portico railing above our front entrance of our 1920 Georgian Colonial home. Kieran and his team (Ken and Eric), built it out of a quality cedar wood ( I’m a historical purist - No plastic allowed ! Lol). They constructed it perfectly to my design, showing their skill and experience in woodworking.Their work ethic was smooth and steady from start to finish and often had me “come see” during the process, to ensure I was happy.
Thank you so much Kieran and your team Ken and Eric on your excellent craftsmanship. You made it possible to restore our home to its former glory!
Kindest regards,
Mick and Carolyn Foley

Kieran promptly arrived to give me an estimate on re-doing my deck. He and his crew showed up daily, on time and knocked out the job. The crew was very polite and kind and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. My wife and I are extremely happy with the deck and how beautiful it turned out. Highly recommend Mcgrath Carpentry for you construction needs.

Late on my review but Kieran and his crew did a phenomenal job and quickly built us a new deck that always get compliments by guests. They were extremely professional, punctual and communicative. From start to finish the job took less than a week and Kieran was open to consulting on design changes and options throughout the process. We will be using (and recommending) McGrath Carpentry for future projects.

Cannot say enough good things about Kieren and team! This is our third construction project since last summer and I was going to go with the company we previously used, but decided to get a few estimates, just because. We stumbled upon McGrath Carpentry with a google search. Kieren came to the house later that day, we had our estimate within a week, and work started a few days later. It all seemed too good to be true! Our project was tearing out our old porch and rebuilding it with vinyl. I beyond happy with the finished project and have already recommended them to others. The team was on time everyday, worked a full day, was neat and respectful, and did not damage or trample any of my gardens. They used quality materials at a very fair price. Two and a half days later I have a beautiful brand new porch that I could not be happier with! Thank you Kieren and your whole team and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

Had a great experience with Kieran and his crew. The new deck and stairs are great! Nice workmanship and he provided everything for the permit and our HOA to get approvals. They did a nice job along each step and the deck to miter the edges and cover the composite board unfinished ends. The black powder coated rails are sturdy and nicely installed as well.

Kieran McGrath and his crew of very experienced carpenters did an outstanding job of tearing down and rebuilding our old deck and screened in patio area. They showed up every day, worked hard and were very courteous and professional. We worked together and changed some details as the project progressed which ended up in an even better overall look. Kieran stuck to his original estimate, finished in a timely manner and I would strongly recommend McGrath Carpentry for any home project!

I called this place to get an estimate on a new fence and someone was supposed to call back but, never did!

Great job on the deck just not careful when moving furniture and items from the deck. Had crashed flower pots and putting shook spilled out in yard.

DRS Installed our split rail fence a few years ago and did an amazing job. The fence is still holding up and looks great!

Deck looks great. Work area cleaned everyday. Great communication and receptive to changes. Would highly recommend them!

I have a house under contract to purchase. During the inspection an issue came up where possible lack of deck flashing was causing a water issue in the basement. Greg Peters came out to give an estimate under extremely tight timelines.

I really appreciate the fact that DRS made the time to meet my inspection period, but Greg gave me an honest opinion and estimate. I will look to DRS for any future deck/fencing needs.

Our new deck looks great. It was done really fast once the permits were approve. Customer service was wonderful and the price beat the other companies I looked at.

There was an accident where my car got some sealant blown onto it from next door to my work. When I noticed the sealant on my car I gave the company a call (it was after work hours so I didn't expect anyone to pick up) and left them a voicemail. First thing the next day(on a Sunday) I received a call from the owner. He met with me later that day and cleaned up my windows and offered to pay for a full detail of my car. Accidents happen, but this companies response was beyond professional. I'll definitely be in touch if I ever need deck/fence services.
