Built fence & deck. Meticulous, perfection-driven, obsessed with details, hard workers, fast…read more This is a family business, with dad and two young adult sons doing the hard labor, and mom handling the business end. I have what you could call a "special needs" fence, deck, and yard. Electrical lights and outlets on the fence posts, an extra wide gate in the rear for bringing in a washing machine one day, removeable deck panel for access to AC lines, wanted the deck built on concrete blocks instead of chopping post holes into my driveway and live oak tree roots, pet turtles in the yard, and a koi pond that it was essential to not disturb the filter or plumbing or connections. Other companies didn't understand what I was needing, argued with me, or didn't speak English. But all DWS said was: Yes, yes, yes. My experience with contractors is that they're bulldozers, and I fully expected my yard and items to be trashed. Not with DWS. They carefully removed the electrical and then replaced it on the new fence posts - everything works. I had cleared the space as well as possible, but there were still items they had to move. All my garden décor, windchimes, turtle pen, etc. were preserved and neatly set where I could find them. Best of all, there was no damage to the pond, plumbing, or garden. They even did some "extra" things, like haul off pots that were too heavy for me, and trim a few branches on a baby tree. They didn't start too early (no morning noise to bother neighbors), and they wrapped up mid-afternoon. They use quick-set cement, so they can dig a post hole, erect the post, and then add rails and pickets all on the same day. They worked incredibly hard in July heat, and finished job a day early. Cleaned the driveway, sidewalk, and yard of all debris. A few things should have been hashed out better ahead of time. Type of gate hardware and locks, pergola / shade cover, retaining wall, moved the fenceline in 6" (made my yard smaller), cutting a limb off my precious live oak tree. Luckily, some of these were discussed the day before install, and were able to make last minute changes, with price adjustments where appropriate. The price for about 100' of cedar fencing and two modest decks was a gasp moment - but in line with other companies. The 50% deposit was daunting, esp for an outfit I knew nothing about, but it's in line with industry standards. Plus, they didn't ask for it until the week before install. Easy on-line pay, good communicators. The finished fence is sturdy, beautiful, and pickets all straight along the top. They hide the gate hinges for a neat look. Decks are exactly what I asked for. As an example of detail, a portion of my deck goes around the oak tree. Instead of cutting a circle out of the deck to accommodate the tree trunk, they cut the boards into pie slice-shaped wedges, so the boards fit around the tree like a pinwheel. ! This had to take amazing engineering, measuring, and cutting. Folks, there was no need to do this. This is a small deck in the back of the yard that's going to be covered with lawn chairs and potted plants and no one will ever see (except me). I can only think they did this out of obsession with detail, and had fun with the math and logistics. When they left, Dan shook my hand and told me he offers a 150% guarantee. Indeed, as the summer went on and lack of rain caused the fenceposts to shift and the gate started sticking, they came back twice to make adjustments. There's more good stuff to tell, but I'm hitting the word limit. Bottom line, I couldn't be more pleased with the people, quality, workmanship, and professionalism. You will be, too.

I can not recommend DWS Fencing enough! They installed a new fence recently at my home and the…read morequality and care that went into the installation was top tier. When researching fence companies, I bid my project out to several local businesses using the exact same specifications so I was getting an apples-to-apples comparison. DWS came in with the best price. When I requested a change to the original project scope after starting, they were transparent about the additional cost and provided a timely and fair change order. They were hit with multiple weather events, which delayed our project and subsequent projects they had on the books after ours unfortunately too. Despite the delays, Dan never rushed anything or cut corners and got the job done right. They operate honestly and would recommend to anyone looking to install a new fence.

We had a great experience with our Pergola purchase. Loren and the entire installation team were outstanding. From the sales and design process, to planning , install and follow up, everything went smoothly and ahead of schedule. Outstanding install crew. As with any project, a great install team makes for a great project and they lived up to my expectations. They showed up on time, worked hard all day and finished before I expected the project to be completed. We could not be happier with the end results and we highly recommend Houston Deck and Shade. Very honest people, fair prices and outstanding quality. The only issue, we now realize we should have made it even bigger!!!

From the very first meeting with the owner Loren, I felt confident that this was a great company…read more Every one of the crew was professional, detailed, and considerate of my home. This was a weeks long project due to the size and weather. Starting with the demo crew, to the Trex deck crew, electricians and carpenters...every single person was wonderful. Want to give a shout out to Paul, who was here most often and had a great attitude, even when a couple of my issues were complicated to figure out. I will absolutely use Houston Deck and Shade for the next project on the deck and pergola at the back of my property.

Our property is in a flood plain and routinely wet. We immediately called WWD knowing they have experience with building docks and what the best course of cation and material would be for this wetter area. In 5 days, they removed and replaced each post without disturbing the 2 tiers of cover and dismantling and rebuilding the wide stairs and ramp, integrating it all seamlessly like it was always there. They even brought the concrete bases above grade so the chewer is deterred! They were timely, efficient, respectful and neat on the jobsite! Another job well done! Thank you!

We have tried to reach them on line but no response either. Buyer beware of this company.

Pete was contracted to make carpentry repairs and paint two coats on entire boat dock and jet skie risers.. This job was my first project with Mr door doctor and Pete had me working with his lead man Sual. After all repairs were made by me the carpenter Saul was to paint the repairs and then put a second coat on the entire deck. I was asked by Pete to come back and help Saul finish painting.. All Saul and I painted was the new wood"repairs" And where the lake water had rubbed off paint at water level. The day were " claiming" it's fished, the sweetest homeowner of the year "bringing us cold drinks, homemade cookies" Asked Sual "lead man and in charge of the painting portion" did you paint two coats to the entire dock, like I wanted..? He replied YES.. He straight up lied to the lady and I'm pretty sure she already knew the answer to the question she raised, just wanted to confirm.. I brought it up just like stated ^ the same day Pete out of nowhere proclaims to be a Christian from left field, oh ok then.. let's see.. I told him of the dishonest bold face lie that his lead guy had just performed in my presence of eyes on facts and he simply shook his head while looking at his feet.. rest of the week it never resurfaced. My last day of work, I asked Sual, " did you ever go back and paint that deck with the final coat..? He lol'd me.. They also paint with zero prep work done, in Walden homes.. no caulking, sheetrock repairs or even sweeping cobwebs.. I brought this up personally on site with Pete and he just said paint it.. I was disgusted that these people are in business somehow and they reside in my race, so sad
