After getting a few quotes for our deck project, Heilman Deck & Fence really stood out. Andy came by and actually walked me through the whole process -- not just what he'd do, but why he'd do it a certain way. He explained where it made sense to invest a little more and where we could cut back without sacrificing quality. No pushy sales pitch, no checkbox quoting -- just someone who clearly knows his craft and cares about doing the job right. I had done some research ahead of time and knew my existing deck had a structural quirk that would matter during the rebuild -- Andy was the only one of the three contractors who caught it. That made the decision easy. His quote wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive, but it was fair and came backed with great reviews and a clean WA contractor's license (which, shockingly, not all of them had). That sealed the deal for us. We ended up completely rebuilding two decks using TimberTech PVC -- a smaller 10'x10' one, and a 26'x12' deck that's 20 feet in the air with two staircases and a landing. The whole project took about 3.5 weeks from demo to final touches. Andy's CAD drawings were spot-on. When surprises came up (like discovering the house's floor joists ran in the opposite direction), Andy just handled it -- added a beam, footings, and posts without delay or extra cost. Same deal with a couple small punch list items at the end (a dinged downspout, some siding, trim details). No fuss, no runaround -- his crew just showed up and made it right. The build crew was great to work with -- friendly, respectful, and meticulous. They kept the site clean and were clearly proud of their work. You could see it in the precision of the cuts and the fact that everything was perfectly straight, square, and level. Even the more delicate custom cuts -- like a half rip-cut board to fit under the house -- were nailed with crazy accuracy making it look like the boards extend under the house. Bottom line -- I'd 100% recommend Andy and his team at Heilman to anyone in the Seattle/Eastside area. If I ever need more deck or fence work (though this deck will probably outlive me), I won't even bother getting other quotes. These guys are the real deal. read more

Highly recommend working with Heilman Deck & Fence! We started a 6-8 week deck project through a different contractor and it was a nightmare that dragged on for 6 months of not ordering materials when we started, ordering the wrong materials, delays with subcontracted workers not showing up and ultimately building things wrong and not up to code. We asked a few companies about finishing up our project and Andy, Amanda, and Team were happy to help. They provided valuable insight on things our old contractor missed, they communicated clearly and consistently. Their team was incredibly nice, showed up when they said they would and did everything in half the time originally estimated. I only wish we started our whole project with them. Lesson learned! Big thanks to Amanda, Andy, Tim, Chris and crew! read more

Our deck turned out absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is impeccable. I would recommend Andy and his wonderful crew (Tim and Matt) to anyone that needs a beautiful, top quality, well-built deck. Everything about the experience was fantastic. During the process of accepting his bid I changed my mind a few times on some of the details and he was very patient and pleasant about all of my questions and changes. He is very easy to talk to and work with. From our first meeting when Andy came out to do the estimate I was so impressed with his obvious knowledge of deck construction and he explained all of the different aspects of choosing decking materials. We ended up going with Azek decking with Timber Tech composite railing with matching Azek drink rail for the top rail and it is just gorgeous! I couldn't be more pleased with it. After we get our backyard overhauled and in good shape I plan to have them do a new fence. There's no reason to look anywhere else for a deck or fence. Heilman Deck and Fence do a great job and are a pleasure to work with. read more

My wife and I decided to have our back deck re-done. We are diligent in our purchases and thorough in our researches. We scheduled and received four different bids before choosing Heilman. We chose Heilman because of Andy. Andy is responsive, patient, flexible and attentive. Heilman wasn't the cheapest bid we received; however, my wife and I wanted to choose a company that we could build a relationship with for all our future projects. Andy and his team fit that bill. Andy provided us with a prompt bid via an itemized PDF within about an hour of leaving our home. The itemized bid left no hidden charges and included the cost breakdown for: removal of existing deck, new composite deck, border, fascia, railing, lighting, labor, plans and permits. Once we decided to contract with Heilman, a 25% deposit is required to secure the contract. The remaining balance is due once the project passes city (Everett) inspection. Checks are an acceptable form of payment. Andy was able to start and complete our project within the promised time-frame. A total of two crew members (not Andy) worked together to build our deck. Both staff members were timely, respectful and tidy. We are thrilled with the outcome of our deck and look forward to enjoying it for many years to come. Heilman and team will be our go-to contractors for all our future outdoor fencing/decking needs. read more

Andy is everything I wanted in a contractor. He was timely, gave me accurate time frame estimates and level set my expections well. He started when he said he would and finished pretty close to when he said he would. Once the project started, he communicated daily. As the project threw us curveballs he gave me options on how it would impact the final number. The work was top notch, and the final bill came in pretty dang close to his original estimate, even after the scope of the project grew. Thanks again Andy! read more

Wonderful job on the fence. We got four different estimates and I was most impressed by them, both the price they quoted and the thoughtful suggestions for the type of fence for our purpose. It was worth the wait getting on their busy schedule. Everyone I dealt with was professional and friendly and they did a great job. Highly recommend them. read more

We had Andy come out to build a deck in our heavily sloped backyard. The deck has stairs cascading from an already existing porch off of the back of the house leading into 2 tiers of deck. Andy came out, looked at the ideas my husband and I had drawn up, as well as our property and gotten us an estimate slightly over 1 month later. We adjusted the original estimate to include costs for permitting as this was important to my husband and recommended to us by my Grandfather (also a contractor) since the deck would be built near our septic system. By the time we had things squared away it was the beginning of May and we were on the schedule to start construction at the end of June. Starting in the middle of June is when Andy first started contacting us about problems with permitting. We ran into multiple issues with airport zoning, delays with the county inspections and the health department (because we were building near the septic). Start of construction was on July 2nd and the job was completed on the 18th of September. My main gripe would be the cleanliness of the crew. Since the build was over the course of several months deck boards, screws, nails & garbage were left strewn about. Boards were left in the middle of my yard after they finished the first part of the job 14 July; which forced me to move them out of the way in order to mow the lawn. The crew returned during the 3rd week in August to build stairs off the lower part of the deck into the yard. After building part of the lower stairs, boards were again left in the middle of the yard in addition to a bunch of nails on the deck. The crew returned to finish over the course of a week between the 2nd and 3rd week of September. Normally I would understand leaving materials out in a workspace, or having a cardboard box of garbage out, but because the job ran over the course of 2 1/2 months with long gaps in between employees being on site, a certain degree of cleanliness would've been appreciated; moving materials off to the side so they are out of the way and don't create a hazard should've been a minimum standard. Final complaint: The area where the stairs come off the lower deck into the yard is short. The floor should've been leveled out in order to accommodate for one additional step. Instead some of the cement bricks I already had in my yard were placed as the "final step" instead of just building one. Obviously some of the delays were out of Andy's control. My mind however revisits the month and a half leading up to our job and how time could have been saved had the permits been submitted then instead of 2 weeks prior to the start of our job. Outside of the complaints listed above I was very pleased with Andy and his crew. When I wanted to get in touch with anyone via email/text/call he was always quick to respond. During the permitting process from hell it was clear to me that Andy was doing everything in his power to follow up and ensure some sort of forward progress was being made. Outside of the general housekeeping of work space Andy's crew was very respectful and kind; they played with our dogs, talked to the kids and were friendly and easy to communicate with about the jobs progress. On the final day/s of our job Andy and his wife (I think) came out and it seemed to be a group effort in conjunction with the crew to get everything completed. It was a loooong time coming, but the construction is of great quality and looks great. I would work with Heilman Deck & Fence again in the future for any needs that may arise as well as recommend their services to others. read more

I spoke with several contractors about building our new deck before I hired Heilman. From the outset, Heilman Deck and Fence impressed me with their communication and clear outline of exactly what they were going to do for us. They started the project when they said they would, they finished when they promised, and charged us exactly the amount we agreed to. They also handled all the permitting for our structure and received all required inspections and approvals. I am totally pleased and impressed with the quality of their construction and project management. I wish all contractors were this good to work with! read more

Andy and his team just finished building a new deck at my house, and we could not be more thrilled. Our initial quote was very thorough, and within our desired budget. Tim and his crew did a fantastic job our our project from beginning to end-- they took their time to make sure our deck was built to be safe and stable, and it honestly looks fantastic. In the end, the project did not exceed the initial estimate provided by Andy, which we are just thrilled about. We will definitely be contacting the team again for future projects. read more

Andy was so great to work with and his crew is fabulous. We had a shared fence that was at the end of it's life and a windstorm helped it come down in a couple places and we also opted to replace the rest of our fence which was almost as old. We're looking forward to having Andy back to talk about other plans for our backyard. Special kudos to not only Andy but Mike ( who I will call his Fence Lead). Our son loved them and they were so incredibly kind to him and just "got him." Without getting into specifics this is HUGE and our little man still talks about them. It's never lost on us when people make an impression on him! Mike is also a MACHINE! Seriously! He demo'd most of the old fence solo and did a huge amount of work on the new solo. We are so happy with the outcome and it looks so great and gives us the privacy we need. We have fabulous neighbors but we all know "good fences make good neighbors" ;) read more

The team at Heilman Deck and Fence are great! They are very knowledgeable, flexible with timing, provided a fair price, and the results were beautiful. read more

Andy was so prompt in getting out to give me an estimate. He was also extremely flexible with my changes. The team he sent showed up when they said they would, did a great job, and made on the fly adjustments with my input to make the fence more attractive and functional. We put in both wood and chain link, and both fences are gorgeous and super sturdy, which we need for our large dogs. Andy and Amanda both are very responsive, and we are so happy with the entire experience. read more

My husband and I hired this company not realizing they use subcontractors. I cannot recommend this company as the subcontractors constantly did a poor job installing the fence and my husband had to spend his entire day managing them. The job finally completed, was just adequate. When the bill came there were added expenses for items that were never used and we even had to call them and get that adjusted. It was a big hassle and we would never use this company again. read more

Wow! I can't say enough great things about Heilman, and in particular, the owner Andy. We had him come out to bid a custom gate to cross our driveway. He submitted his bid promptly, in writing via email. He came out at the times he set up with us and was punctual, friendly, and respectful. He even came out the day it was pouring rain and he was soaked head-to-toe and still had a terrific attitude. Regarding the gate itself, he took pictures of what he proposed building and sent them to my husband and me for feedback before beginning. Once we approved the design, he began welding the frame. The project took him far more time than he anticipated (though he still completed on schedule per the bid). He custom welded the frame and added a lot of very smart things to an otherwise 'simple' project. He even accounted for the aging of the gate so we could adjust for settling, slat replacement, and potential future upgrades to the gate (e.g. openers) - even though it didn't change the scope of the project - building a driveway gate. And it's BEAUTIFUL. In the end, he admitted that had he known the extent of the project, he would have bid it higher, but did not alter his charges at all and invoiced us for exactly what he bid at the beginning of the project. When does that ever happen with a contractor?? We're so pleased with the work he did we are having him come back out tomorrow to bid on replacing our well house. Then maybe the kitchens and bathrooms... Andy is honest and hardworking and one of the guys you can feel really good about recommending! So I do! read more

Working with Andy Heilman was a delight. He understood exactly what I wanted, built it within ten days because I needed it in order to rent my house, and put it exactly where I wanted - all without us actually being in the same place at the same time. I live in Seattle, and the house is in Marysville. To complicate things, I'm working in Santa Barbara more than half the time. But somehow the communication never lagged. We spoke on the phone, exchanged photos, and agreed on a design, which he implemented quickly and for the quoted price. I'd happily work with him again any time. read more

My neighbor and I had a great experience with Heilman. We collected 3 bids and they were the lowest. They were very responsive and had good suggestions for replacing our fence. My neighbor wanted to go with another outfit because of past experience. I talked her into going with Hellman and she was happy with the results. read more

The Heilman's did an amazing job. Amanda, Andy, Will and the entire crew we're fantastic to work with. We had a large fencing project (nearly an acre) where they installed both a cedar estate fence and black chain link with wood frame and cap. The overall finished quality was excellent and the team was always on-time and cleaned up the yard each day. We would definitely use them again and would refer them to our friends. Thank you Heilman's! read more

Giving them a 1 star because that's the lowest I can give. I contacted them to get an estimate to install the backside of my fence and it seemed like to was to much work to meet with me. I was told that the latest they meet for an estimate was 3:30. Well sometimes that time doesn't work when most people work later than 3:30. An estimate takes like 15 mins and when you feel like they don't want to work with you when you first talk to them....they are worth hiring. read more

Excellent service and communication throughout the process. Quality worked performed on time using quality materials.

Had my current broke fence replaced by Heilman - the guys did an amazing job! Fence looks great, well put in and they were very professional and personable. Will definitely recommend and use them for my deck replacement! read more

We had our current deck modified & a new fence put in by Heilman. Hands down would recommend them to anyone. All the guys/crews were professional & their work spoke for itself. Very happy with the outcome & service we received from the time Andy came out & quoted us to the very end. read more

When Andy and Amanda came out to assess my fence damage, they were honest and took the time to explain what needed to be done and why. Their pricing was reasonable and the work was done, as promised, and very quickly. If I have another fencing project, I will not hesitate to hire them back! read more

Our guard rail was rotten on both sides of our hill in our Club. Your workmanship was awesome. The personal from your company was friendly and hard working. You did a great job. Would highly recomend this company for any work. Thank you read more

I thought Andy and his team did an excellent job installing fences at my new home. Andy came by to do measurement and provided a quote on the next day. We agreed on the price and the installation got started in the same week. My specific project took roughly 3 days. Andy and his team kept me in the loop throughout. At the end, I was very happy with the outcome. They are trustworthy and they certainly delivered. I would totally do business with them again in the future. read more

Heilman Deck & Fence came out and installed a new deck in our backyard. Everything turned out amazing the crew was awesome. Andy was great and are quote was less than what we expected and the work was done fast! Great company and even better work. We would definitely recommend them to anyone! Thanks again!!! read more

Let me first say, I don't like writing bad reviews. But in all fairness, this situation deserves attention. We hired Andy to demo and rebuild our deck on our craftsman Snohomish home. Andy is a super nice, relatable guy. His rate was fair, so we hired him to demo and built our new deck. All of this completed within the expected time frame. We had told Andy from the start that we wanted a dark stained deck (hey, its 2016, 2015 at the time, and that's what people want) He says "no problem" - GREAT! He tells us that he's using a new product to stain and asks me to pick a color (I pick one and then match it to the closest color, from his preferred product pamphlet) so I do. Great! The stain was applied (the first time) and it did not turn out. At ALL. Even Andy said that it "needed to be redone" but he suggested that we first wait a good 4-5+ months to let the stain "lift" so it would be easier to get off. Okay! (We still love Andy! Everybody makes mistakes and who cares if our deck is gross over the winter months, right?) Andy returns in the spring to sand and re-stain, removing the railing etc, as he said. I'm now asked to pick my color from his pamphlet (a different stain product - not sure if this one was new to him as well or not) He and his crew prep, stain, etc. The next morning, after the second attempt at stain was applied, I met Andy outside to talk about the outcome. It was WAY worse than before! Andy was quickly reassembling all our railings, not in a good mood, distant and basically told me (he actually told me!) "This is your deck, im not doing it again". He left our property right then and there. Finished. *PLEASE see pics, my words are unesssesary* He left his job site right then + there, with no further contact! Little did he think about leaving HIS name on it. (We paid him after the first stain job because we trusted that he fix it in the spring and he had built a beautiful deck for us) We assumed and knew that he was just as upset as we were and that within a couple days, or even a week, he would contact us to fix what he left. NOPE. Despite him knowing what he left us with and how unhappy we were, we never heard from Andy Heilman again. I wrote this review not because I enjoy throwing anyone under the bus (as mentioned, I do not, this is a late but well-deserved review) but as professionals/business owners, It's not right that he get away with such boyish behavior. Most recently, this incident has been continuously rehashed for us because SO many people have commented on his shity (for lack of a better word) job. Our home is currently for sale and people notice! There are brown stains and splotches everwhere. Our real estate agent asked us if we were going to have our deck professionally fixed!! (Damn, I thought we did!!) To be completely fair, the deck was built well, but the finished product does not look professional AT ALL. *Please see pics* the other reviews don't have many pics. Make a good choice for yourself and project. Not everything goes smoothly but you want someone who will stand with their company and promise of satisfaction. He LEFT our home/his job site like this!! This is his idea of a completed project! $$$ wasted... This is our 'professional' NEW deck, completed by Heilman Deck & Fence! Yikes! Please feel free to contact me directly for more pics, pics of work progress, etc. There is no way Andy can deny this is HIS completed job. This is NO joke, pictures do not lie. read more

Everyone we encountered was great to work with and our fence is beautiful. Crew was professional and quickly got us on the schedule. We even had an issue with our gate latch a couple months later and they came by to fix it. Would recommend! read more

When the time came to replace our cedar deck, we received two bids, one of which was from Heilman Deck and Fence. When Andy and Amanda met with us, we were so impressed with the knowledge shared, examples shown, and professional demeanor displayed we chose to work with them to install our TimberTech decking, despite being the higher priced bidder. Our deck was scheduled for August but were gladly moved up in timeline due to some changes to others jobs. Andy, Will, Chris and team are a skilled, very personable, timely, and responsive crew! We enjoyed working with them each day, and they were sure to check in with progress daily. Our deck was completed beautifully and on time and on budget. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to replace or refurbish your decking or fencing. You absolutely get what you pay for in level of service, quality of workmanship and overall working experience and we will happily work with them again on future projects!! Highly recommend you give them a chance for your projects!! read more

Outstanding work. They finished our deck great craftsmanship and in a short amount of time. Their one downside is poor office management: their scheduling and communication was a little slow and uncoordinated. read more

I was very pleased with all aspects of my experience working with Heilman Deck and Fence. I was looking into replacing our deck and getting a fence installed for our yard and Andy came out to do our initial quote. He provided straightforward and clear information about the process and costs, and also provided some helpful recommendations that ended up improving our design and saving us some money. We selected Heilman based on the trust we felt in the work and the fair price point, but where I was really impressed was with the flexibility they demonstrated. We had to hold off on the deck due to some design issues and a property line concern, but Andy was happy to make changes and still extended us the same price for the fence even with the smaller scope. As for the fence itself, it looks awesome. We did a horizontal fence and had concerned about whether it would come out looking like we wanted, but in the end it was perfect. The crew was fast and did excellent work. I am happy to recommend them to any one looking for a quality fence and deck contractor and we are going to use them again to finally replace the deck as soon as we can get Heilman scheduled. read more

We called Andy to have a dog fence put in. We also needed our deck stairs replaced as well as a section of rail on the deck. He answered our questions over the phone and made an appointment to come out and give us a bid. He showed up on time and gave us a very fair price. This was August and they were busy with jobs until October. The week Andy said they would start work they called and told us which day they would start. Everyone did fast excellent work. They repaired the deck, installed new stairs and a black chain link fence with two custom gates Andy made himself. We love it and so does our dog! read more

Needed to fix two - three sections of our chain link fence that was destroyed by the tree from a big storm we had before the holidays November 17, 2015. Found Heilman Deck and Fence online as well as other companies. When I called the company I talked to Andy, the owner of the company. Just from talking to him over the phone I knew in my heart that he will be the one to fix our fence. On the phone he sounded very friendly, down to earth, and easy going. The next day he came to our house to take a look at the fence and gave me a brief estimate of what it would cost us. He was very honest, sincere, and flexible. He did not try to rip me/us off. After researching other companies (took me about a month) I made a final decision to go with Andy and was very pleased with my choice. When I called him back after the holidays, again, Andy was very responsive and serious about the work. He came to our house again, took more measurements, wrote estimate, and schedule the day for the fence repair. On the day of repair him and his coworker came on time, did an awesome job for a great price. They did more than I thought they would do. They fixed our three sections with quality materials and the finished work look very professionally done. My husband was very pleased with their work and with me as well for finding such great company. Thank you Andy! read more
