Deck Builder reviews across the US

Caleb & Glenn & Aaron were great! Fantastic design ideas on how to maximize the space, deliver a great looking product, and meeting our budget. Kept me informed along the way so I wasn’t guessing on timing or outcomes. Per Caleb's suggestion, we added a deck over a too small patio slab that extended out to allow room for a grill. Screened in the previous patio area so we could enjoy bug free evenings this summer. Made the space much more attractive and comfortable. Glenn was much more creative than other bidders in what to do about the patio area we also wanted. His suggestions were to create a more aesthetic and usable space including a dry creek bed to deal with our back yard flooding issues, sitting wall that complemented or existing retaining walls, and recessed lights. Everything looks great! Just in time for the first snow in Lee's Summit. I’ll have to do pictures another time when the snow is gone.

Creative Concepts poured a 100 sqft brush finished patio extension for my home in Kansas City. I am very happy with the professionalism, communication, and especially the final product. The patio extension looks great and my wife and I look forward to using it as soon as spring comes!

When we made the decision to get a bid from Creative Concepts and Designs, it was a great one! Caleb was so kind and easy to talk to. Really listened to what we wanted, he is definitely a professional with deck design ideas. They were busy, so we had to wait a while to get our new deck, but I will say it was well worth the wait! Caleb, Pat, Aaron and the crew were all wonderful to work with. Our new deck has exceeded our expectations in every way. Would highly recommend using them!

We got quotes from 4 different companies about building a new deck. Caleb was by far the most knowledgeable, honest, up front, and nice. He provided us with a concept that no other company had proposed and we didn’t realize was possible. We got a much bigger deck out of it, and we are extremely grateful for it. We went from a wood deck to composite, and to me it was worth it to go composite. Aaron and the crew were fantastic! They completed our project in under a week. They went above and beyond. We had to leave for a trip for a week, and they came out on a Saturday to put the finishing touches on the deck to ensure it was completed before we left for our trip. Overall a fantastic experience from start to finish! Very happy with look and craftmanship of the new deck.

Caleb, Brent, Aaron did an excellent job on our deck from start to finish. Caleb had excellent design ideas, pricing was transparent, and paperwork (insurance, contract, permit) was professional. We talked with 5 different contractors and Creative Concepts was the clear choice.

The construction itself was also top notch. Aaron quickly demoed the deck to make way for Brent to pour our concrete patio/sidewalk and build our retaining and seating walls. Once the concrete was cured, Aaron went to work building us a high quality deck at light speed. The team discovered wide spread defects in the decking before we did and had replacement material delivered without slowing the project down at all. It was great to have a team doing quality control on our behalf as if it was their own house.

Creative Concepts and Design built us a high quality deck at lightning speed for a competitive price. I highly recommend Creative Concepts and Design.

Recently moved to KC, MO. Wanted to replace a very old deck with a combination deck and patio. I met with 3 different companies and while all were good, Creative Concepts & Design stood out as a leader. Their company name is very accurate. Their webpage accurately describes consultation, selection and build. The team that handles all of these areas are true professionals with a great design sense: Caleb (sales and design) made some very good aesthetic suggestions based upon my descriptions; Tony (deck product selection) spent a great deal of time with us to choose color and style; Brent (patio project manager) walked us through all of the possibilities from color to patio stamping and did a superb job on creating the patio; Aaron (lead carpenter) carefully constructed a beautiful deck to complement the patio; and finally Pat (project manager) kept everything moving forward and on schedule. We felt as if we had the perfect team taking care of our project every step of the way. If you are looking for talented professionals, look no further than Creative Concepts & Design - great company with great people.

My family had a great experience with everyone at Creative Concepts & Design during our complete deck rebuild. From beginning of the estimating process to the final product we've been very happy with every interaction and above all, the new deck is high quality, looks great and we're already enjoying it. They are the gold standard that other contractors should follow!

We bought a home that needed an upgraded deck and outdoor space. Caleb, Brent and Glenn were great to work with. Each provided ideas based upon our inspirational boards and vision of our new outdoor space. The process from idea to bidding, to demo to new construction was communicated and done in a timely manner even during the Winter months. We are very pleased with our space and how it turned out. Creative Concepts and the folks who work in this organization are great to work with. I will not hesitate in using their services again on any of our outdoor spaces in the future. I highly recommend this group. They all went above and beyond, which was appreciated, having considered our golf course lot, HOA rules, and keeping in line with our style and vision. We are proud of our final space. Please see the pictures that document our journey.

TLDR: Creative Concepts and Design LLC is a fantastic contractor that I would highly recommend.

Ive spent tons of time reading through contractor reviews so hopefully this one helps someone out.

Our old deck was falling apart and was unsafe to stand on. I’ve spent 2 years asking for over a dozen quotes and trying to get settled on the final design. I wanted three main things:
1. A safe, simple deck
2. Vertical cable railing
3. Stamped concrete underneath the deck not to be ruined in the process.
At the end of my deck reseach, each contractor was given a list of 8 items with all the specs I knew to ask for.

Caleb came over and provided design ideas to expand the deck so the supports wouldn't ruin our stamped concrete. His imperative was to build a safe deck up to the code. He is not a sales guy but gives a vibe of someone who knows how to build a good deck. He utilized prefab lengths for material I wanted and designed around those to minimize material waste. I asked for rework of layout, and Caleb was able to design with those considerations in mind as well. One support that needed to go into the stamped concrete was done in a way to preserve it.

Pat is their communication specialist and probably a PM and sounds like an absolutely delightful human with tons of patience and care for his customers. Every request I've had, Pat made sure to address it.

The 3 person team that built the deck was led by Aaron. These guys are incredible workers. They show up at 8, and work really hard without stopping (other than 1hr lunch break) the entire day. They communicate at the end of the day about their plans and tried to keep the area as clean as possible. Deck was demolished and built in a week with some material damage replacement. This was all done in really rough temperatures (demolition started when ground was frozen, and they worked through really cold temperatures, followed by higher temps and mud that followed). They were communicative and attentive to my concerns. I really liked that they returned scratched deck boards instead of installing them and asking for forgiveness. Their replacement material arrived in a day, so it looks like they have a good relationship with theur material supplier. Totally irrelevant to the project, but they pulled in my trash bins on the trash day, so really appreciate their character as well. Semi-relevant to the project, but not in their scope of work, they evened out the path that got impacted by their work in the mud and took extra care to make our lawn as intact as possible. They're an excellent team and are proud of their work and want to do it right.

I'm a micromanager when it comes to supervising contractors working on my home due to all sorts of experiences in the past and I didn't feel like I had to do anything. I have ring cameras around my house and was able to watch them make substantial progress throughout the day. I'm also always looking for the best deal, and although they were not the cheapest from all the quotes I've received, they are worth every dollar with quality of work they provide, design ideas that are up to code, and desire to do a good work. I would 100% recommend them.

Our new deck is beautiful. Sammy and his crew did a beautiful job. Dustin was a great project manager constantly keeping in touch with us. I'm very happy with our new deck.

Just had a deck refresh completed by FA Outdoor Spaces and could not be happier with the service. Everyone was readily available to answer questions after the initial visit by Tucker who provided the estimate. The estimated price was actually what we paid (no hidden costs or expenses added at the last second). Tucker was extremely knowledgeable at what could be changed (and what could not) given his prior experience as a city permit inspector. When it came time to schedule the work, Dustin was a hands on project manager ready to jump in as needed when deliveries ran behind for the installation team. Luis’ crew worked very quickly on both the demolition and installation of the Trex decking—even when it was off and on rainy most of the day. Thank you all very much! Have already referred neighbors your way.

I had a great experience with FA Outdoors from the planning stage through the completed project. Cullen was great to work with. He was on site from the beginning of construction to the end. Sammual and his installation crew worked endlessly and were very professional. I would recommend FA Outdoors for any deck project.

We hired FA Outdoor Spaces for our deck refacing project and the whole team was excellent from start to finish! Brandon walked us through multiple design and scope of work options, providing quotes with very competitive pricing. Dustin was on top of scheduling and management to get the project done with a tight turnaround timeline. Edgar and his crew were efficient with their time and experts at pivoting as needed when we requested a few last minute changes. Five stars across the board - high recommend!

It was great working with FA Outdoors! We first met with Brandon who came over and suggested some great ideas to maximize our small space, including a bump out for a grill and decking along the side of the house to provide even more space (see pics). I was grateful they designed around my beautiful Camelia plant as well - very customized! After signing, we determined a start date (we were on vacation so we started a week later, but they were ready even sooner!) We connected with Cullen, our project manager, who was incredibly responsive and helpful, and our crew, Hugo and Elgar, were absolutely amazing. The crew started on a Monday and the project was complete by Friday. It is amazing. I love the deck. The materials are high quality and the construction is to a very high standard. Our only hiccup was the dumpster delivery - they delivered after it had rained and the truck became stuck, kicking up dirt and leaving tire tracks. Cullen not only helped rake, but provided straw and grass seed at no extra cost! I would highly recommend working with this company! They are AWESOME!

Excellent job. Thanks to Luis Reynoso team and PM Dustin Beavers.

I am extremely pleased witht the professionalism and final product of my deck. Dustin and Sammy are awesome.

They did a fantastic job and on time! Dustin and Oscar were very reachable and responsive

We had a fantastic experience with FA Outdoor Spaces. Dustin, Tom, and Ronnie were great to work with from start to finish. Their service was top notch, they answered all our questions, and were always quick to respond. The deck was completed quickly and exactly how we asked, just excellent work. We couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend them.

Cameron and his crew were great! They were on time and quick to get the job done. We needed a DIY retaining wall redone by a professional and I’m glad we found Doleman Services. We also got quotes for fencing in the future and will be happy to use them again!

Kameron and his crew did a great job. They showed up on time and did exactly what we were wanting. When my mom asked about adding did, they came back the very next morning and laid it. I would definitely call them again!

Kameron and his crew were brought in to replace our 16 year old wooden deck and screened in porch area after the initial contractor had spec'd the job and ordered the material. They did a good job working with the material and plans and we are very pleased with the results. They were very easy to work with, profession, polite and timely. There were a few hiccups in the process but they always worked their way through them.
