What homeowners say
"John, Gifford, Bernardo & Armando are a fantastic team!! … their guidance and excellent design eye resulted in a beautiful backyard"
"Loved working with John and his team! We get compliments all the time on the look and feel of our deck. … John was the only contractor we spoke to that offered any creative design input into the vision we had for our previously dirt backyard."
"These guys are great! Professional, high quality work is rare these days and these guys got it. The even more impressive part was the project was finished on time and on budget and resulted in one big bad deck!"
"Amazing to work with! John and team are very responsive, careful, and respectful of the property. They did a great job refinishing my deck and installing a steel gate. Highly recommend for new or old decks!"
"Big Deck team just finished a two story replacement deck and added another small deck filling in an odd area by our pool and did an excellent job on both decks. They provided daily updates and schedules, kept job site as clean as possible and built a deck that will last a long time."
"Loved working with John and his team. … Big Decks built a two-level deck, steel planters and steel pergola, and a gorgeous limestone bench for our atrium. Stunning!!"
"John and his team are absolutely incredible. I cannot recommend their work enough, and I'm already looking for another opportunity to work with them!"
