The estimate, design, demo, and build processes all went smoothly because of Agustin and his crew, who started every day bright and early - even when utterly frigid. Like any big project, there were some unforseen challenges, but Agustin communicated with us regularly and made the design changes and/or repairs that were necessary to push forward. Agustin and the crew did a great job with the deck and patio modifications to accommodate. I highly recommend Creative Exteriors Plus!

My wife and I moved into our brand-new custom home in October of last year (2023) and have loved…read moreour deck, but barely used it due to the bugs. Our builder (Churchill Classics) charged an arm and a leg, and we didn't want to go back to them for another quote, so I scheduled over 15 contractors to come out in 2 days. Of the contractors that came out, Agustin was the first. He was on time, knowledgeable, and gave me plenty of ammunition to go up against the remaining contractors. Although Creative Exteriors Plus was one of the most expensive options we looked at, it was also the only truly professional experience that left a great taste in my mouth going forward. Augustin of Creative Exteriors Plus is fantastic! I always look for contractors with strong integrity, who are honest, and who have no issues answering even the dumbest of questions. Agustin not only gave me peace of mind when meeting us, but he was also very open and honest about everything, from the work, scheduling, payment, and timeframe, to the actual products he used. Before screening in our deck, I wanted to stain/seal the deck and power wash it but didn't want to spend the extra capital getting it professionally done. Agustin also helped walk me through products to look at, steps to properly power wash, and troubleshooting via text the whole way through. At one point, I mentioned that my Google caller ID had picked up another business name, Prime Construction Corp, and I wanted to verify if this was related to him or what the connection was. Agustin called me right away and explained that it was an old business they contracted with bigger vendors, but during COVID, they pivoted and no longer have any affiliation with that business. He was quite surprised it popped up with his number. We had a great laugh about it, and I really appreciated how straightforward he was with this information. I love his transparency and honesty throughout the whole process, and we even contacted him again about possibly screening in/putting a roof over our walkup basement door. He was very candid, advising that having the window on the side and a lack of trees nearby would attribute to more cost and effort than a solid result. After brainstorming, we came up with the idea of buying screens and velcroing them around the rails (haven't put this plan into action yet), but I very much appreciate his candor and encouragement that this is a project I can do myself. The entire project was done in roughly 3 days: two days of work back to back, and then 1 Saturday due to rain. The screen is so beautifully and meticulously done that it doesn't even look like a screen is there. His team also managed to perfectly match our current post layout when constructing a new post and adding a door. The door also comes with a cool feature: it has a window that slides down. They also included 2 new keys for the door, and Agustin did a full walkthrough with us to ensure we were fully happy with the results. Before completing the deck, his team also power washed the bug gunk off the deck and removed some of the remaining tape I had forgotten to remove when I stained the deck. He also offered to come back and install our ceiling fan once we actually pick one out. He's local and always just a short text away if I need anything. I cannot recommend Creative Exteriors Plus enough and absolutely rave about Agustin to everyone I know! Thank you so much for all of your hard work, and we will definitely be using you again in the near future for fencing/patio options.

When signing a design contract, I was so excited to work with Cedarbrook. Right from the beginning…read moreMike made us feel very comfortable and assured us he could replace our 20 year+ s me deck and patio within our budget. He was flexible with our schedules and answered all our questions. However, once he had our deposit that quickly changed. Mike's quote for a FLAGSTONE patio was originally $12-14k and advised if we switch to pavers it would be significantly less. However, after patiently waiting for him to finalize the numbers, he provided us a revised quote for the same size PAVER patio for $24k. Mike could not provide a clear or consistent answer for why the price doubled. At first he said it is because he omitted $8k of debris removal and haul away costs. (Which was our first red flag - how does a professional contractor with 17 years' experience exclude debris removal when doing a full deck and patio replacement?) Then Mike said the quote was based on a smaller patio. We were clear from the beginning the size of the patio can't decrease. So this answer is either false or he had a glaring error on his end. In fairness to us, we asked to see the drawing of the smaller patio that supported the original quote. We patiently waited; however, Mike was unable or unwilling to provide the requested drawing. Then Mike blamed another contractor saying that he doesn't set the prices. If that were true, how did he confidently quote us $12-14k before we gave the deposit? That question is still unanswered. Mike also was unable to complete the design in a timely manner - taking over 7 weeks to provide a plan and pricing to replace our same footprint. We were told construction could be completed by the first week in December - turns out that was also false. We put in over 2 months of time, effort, and planning into this project and are now waking away incredibly disappointed and frustrated. For a company with such great reviews, this is a true shame. Despite all these red flags, it's is important to note that, until recently, we wanted to find a way to make this work - after all mistakes happen. However, having an owner not be able to take ownership of his mistakes and work with the customer to find a solution is just bad business. I strongly advise anyone thinking of doing business with this company to be very careful. Sneaking in costs and not being able to back them up is simply wrong. We clearly dodged a bullet, so for that I am grateful.
