I hired Derek and his guys at DP Land Work last spring to help back fill a natural retaining wall I…read morehad built to level the slope into a creek bed in my back yard. His team went above and beyond to help shore up the retaining wall before backfilling and then actually tamped and graded the backfill. The project turned out way better than I imagined thanks to his help. I hired him back to redirect water from my rain gutters that was pooling up back toward the house. He trenched an underground culvert downslope about 30 feet and tied it into the gutters seamlessly, replaced the sod and completely fixed the problem. Very professional job. I have recommended Derek and his team to neighbors who have also been very pleased. Highly recommend!

Because of what we found out, after the fact, I would strongly encourage everyone who is…read moreconsidering using this company and everyone who has already used them, to reach out to your city/county and find out if they are registered to work there. Make sure that they've pulled permits for your work, because if you have to do this after the fact, it's going to be an ordeal. We've been told, we may have to remove the structure, because they never got to inspect the caissons in the concrete. Our roof was not done to code, the framing of the porch was not done to code, which is likely why he didn't pull permits in the first place. We can appeal, as we are not at fault and some of these things we can pay another contractor to fix, but the bottom line is, Colorado Deck and Patio, didn't do the work as contracted. They sell their services saying they do things the right way, they didn't. They talk about integrity, I think it's pretty clear that if you don't pull the permits that are in your contract, that's not accurate. If you aren't licensed to work in a city that you're working in and you're selling your services there, that doesn't seem very transparent either. They say they don't sub-contract to crews that weren't involved in the design and vision, that's also a lie. If you google you can find Stephen looking for crews to work as 1099 employees. He and Eric appear to be the only employees of the company. The crew that worked on our project, was great, but they weren't involved from the start, the guy who was involved at the start was fired for using drugs. Stephen shared the text messages of when he had to fire him, with us and the contractors who worked on our job, we all saw them. We supposedly paid more for their services because they aren't like other contractors, they are honest and they do things the right way, we found out that they are exactly like the contractors that they talk bad about, they just charge more. The allegation that they pay for 5 star reviews is accurate. They want nothing less than a perfect review and if you give them anything less, even 4 stars, expect to have them calling you names to their crew.

It has been several months now and I realized I said I would post updates when everything was…read moreresolved, which I suppose everything is now no thanks to Colorado Deck and Patio. Over the 2-3 months that followed we spent over $15,000 to have our brand new front porch repaired and brought up to city codes. So in case you're keeping score - the original estimate was $11K, but Stephen Jackson forgot to include the electrical work for lights and outlets, which we requested from the beginning, in the estimate so the total was over $13K. Then we learned there were no permits, no inspections, they were not licensed in Aurora, they disregarded the engineer's plans by not providing proper support for the structure, and they did not have the roof done according to the city code. That's just off the top of my head. So why did it cost us an additional $15K? Because to do it right we had the extra expenses of paying for the permit, paying to remove brand new materials so the workmanship could be inspected - it failed, btw. We had to pay to have the brand new roof removed so that it could be re-done properly, which required re-roofing the entire front side of the house, so that was a lot more material. We had to pay for brand new engineer drawings. [On a side note, the engineering firm they used told us it was the first time a contractor hired them to have plans drawn, then failed to follow them. As a result they said they would no longer do business with Colorado Deck & Patio.] The list goes on, and also includes paying for an attorney that specializes in construction law. I also wanted to address some of the things Stephen Jackson stated in his response to my prior review, though most of it is ludicrous. Firstly, they do indeed offer a 5 or 10 year warranty for a price. I have never, outside of Best Buy had to pay for a warranty. We paid for the 5 year, and we did reach out to them as I previously stated when we learned about the problems and they chose not to reply. And they did carry insurance but we confirmed they let it lapse during our project and only reinstated it when they heard from our lawyer. Stephen seemed perplexed as to why we would not ask him to fix the problems, but these were not honest mistakes, or simple oversights, they were decisions Stephen Jackson made to financially benefit himself and put our home in jeopardy. And the decisions to cut all those corners were solely Stephen Jackson's. The subcontractor that he hired was not a friend of ours, we had never met Jairo Reyes before Stephen introduced us when he arrived to work on the porch. In fact it came as a surprise to us because Eric Johnson said they don't use subcontractors, Stephen does all the work himself. And I hate to point out the obvious hole in that claim, but.. If he was our friend, why would we have paid Colorado Deck and Patio to hire him? Why not save ourselves a ton of money and hire him directly? But Mr. Reyes did the job as he was instructed, by Stephen who was onsite just about every day and is very much "the boss," just ask him (you know the type). Mr. Reyes absolutely was not provided with the engineer's drawings or stamp. We know this because later we did become friends with him after we learned he had also been ripped-off by Colorado Deck and Patio. I really don't want to get into the other ugly claims but I will say there is a police report that proves we never had any stolen tools at our house, and our own home security cameras prove there was never a gun pointed at anyone. In fact the officer that was involved instructed Stephen Jackson to stay away from us and our property. As far as posting fake reviews, that may just be the pot calling the kettle black, since before this year their company had a total of about five reviews over ten years - two of which were negative. Now they get a new 5-star review somewhere on average every week. That's impressive since they also told us they only do one project at a time so they can provide attention to detail. Unfortunately for Colorado Deck & Patio all those great reviews are not quite enough to restore their previous 'decent' overall ratings. Because in the meantime there have also been new 1-star reviews. Other people have called them unprofessional, and stated that Stephen did not have a license or get permits and inspections until he was forced to. And now he apparently thinks the customer should change the negative review to a positive one. So maybe he was right about one thing in his response.. maybe a gift card is not enough to make somebody change a negative review to a perfect one. But it's still a shady practice that violates the terms of sites like this one and Angie's list. But that is the least of the shady things that Colorado Deck and Patio has done during our interactions with them. Our porch is now complete and does look good, but that is no thanks to them either. We unfortunately can't enjoy it at this point, and that is thanks to Colorado Deck and Patio. :(

After reading the last negative review about Rich Madura Development Group, I can tell you that…read moreyes, the job did take longer than anticipated but the end product was spectacular!!!!! My basement was being done a couple years ago when there were fires raging up north so good help was probably a big factor with getting the job done on time. We are so happy we were not impatient because Rich and his crew did one heck of a job. Everyone who sees our basement thinks we must of paid a million dollars because that is exactly what it looks like. Rich also undercut every contractor we interviewed (and there were many. ) and he ended up giving us more than we asked for. I cannot recommend a company more highly. Just don't be impatient and let the man do what the man does. Excellent work!!!!

About a year later we wanted to refinish our master bathroom. Got a bid from Banell Custom and asked them to present some ideas on some of the bathroom challenges.

With a flip of a switch, we enjoy them clear and benefit from the wonderful natural light. They did outstanding work. So grateful to find a good and creative contractor!! Here are a few pictures of the shower. You can see the importance of natural sunlight. In this bathroom. Genius!!

When I was ready to finish my basement, I called a couple of contractors that 2 were recommended by…read morefriends (after checking out both of their basements, which both looked great.) The "quality player": I quickly discovered that the player that I had expected to be the high cost/high quality was a huge pain to work with (many meetings, unwillingness to give me pricing in writing, forgetting about details we'd discussed, etc.) so I had no confidence in their ability to do the job at the agreed upon price within the agreed upon time frame. The "cost" player: The good news is that they made it very easy for me to go with Mike L and the Basement Company. He produced great designs, had creative ideas, and alerted me to things to think about when they were cheap & easy to do, instead of having to fix problems later (like add baseboard heaters to basement bedrooms because it can get cold down there and we want our guests to be comfortable). I'm a worrier and a perfectionist (plus a little paranoid about getting hosed by a contractor) and I work from home so I kept watching for something to go wrong, but it never did. On time, on budget, as-promised, with every detail addressed. If something concerned me, I called Mike and it was sorted out easily. When they were close to finished, Mike came over and started marking every imperfection with blue tape. He found LOADS of little things that we never would have noticed. All of the things he spotted were fixed in no time. I was concerned that we would need to haggle over a 'punch list' of things that we wanted him to complete, but it never came to that. All of the workers were professional, kind (remembered my kids's names and even let my boys help a little, when appropriate) and everything was spotless every day! (No dumpster outside, no overflowing garbage cans, no junk in the work area, no dust filling the upstairs, no nasty port-a-potty to annoy my neighbors, etc.). Since my wife and I both work at home (which is part of the reason we wanted to add another office), we were able to watch over a lot of the work, but if I were to do it again someday I would have enough confidence in Mike to just write him a check and stay out of the process until he was done. Mike's a great guy, he's got a great team (not random contractors that come and go...they are people that have worked together for years), he's got his process down (simple, transparent, predictable), plus he was significantly less expensive than his competition. I recommend the Basement Company so enthusiastically that when I saw that they weren't on Yelp, I created an entry for them (I've never done that for anyone before!).
