Here's my original review: Chet had ambitions to expand…read morebeyond doing decks and claimed he was capable enough to build a garage, replace windows, install new siding, and more. I have windows and doors that leak whenever it rains. The roof leaks where Chet's construction meets the original roof. Snow blows in through the corners of exterior doors. Deadbolts do not lock because they don't align with strike plates. Screws on the deck protrude above the surface because they were not driven completely flush. Electrical outlet wall plates are missing and some outlets are missing screws to hold it securely in the box. A window cracked while they were installing siding and trim, but Chet claimed it was already cracked and refused to take responsibility. Chet's crew locked themselves out of my house when I was out of town, so they kicked the front door in - they never replaced or repaired the door frame. I was picking up cigarette butts and trash around the house and on my property for several weeks after Chet's crew was "finished." Windows were smeared with wood stain and never cleaned. If details and quality work are important to you, avoid Chet, Deck Envy and NXT LVL. If you want to help pay for Chet's fancy cars and expensive shoes, by all means, hire these clowns. This is my update after Deck Envy claimed they never did work for us: April 19, 2024: Rich Fougner and Gregg Betonte, representing themselves as Deck Envy's "new management," called my cell phone. They stated they were calling in response to this Yelp review. They asked, "Can you give us a chance to correct the situation?" April 22, 2024: Rich and Gregg visited my house. They took out their phones and photographed the problems. Before leaving, they promised to fix these problems. May 16, 2024: Gregg emailed, asking me to take down the review before he sends a crew to fix anything. I told him I would gladly take down the review, but only after the problems were addressed. I never heard back from Gregg nor anyone from Deck Envy, until December 20, 2024 - the response to my original review. I have a copy of the contract. Job Number 424. Signed by Chet Luedtke, dated 11/08/19. I have copies of invoices, too. For example: Invoice 8, Job Number 424, dated July 9, 2020. I'm sure Tahoe Donner has your company on record as the contractor, as well. Perhaps if your records are incomplete, you can follow up with Tahoe Donner's office to confirm. Deck Envy's claim that they never did work at this property is untenable.

Although design approval and permits from Tahoe Donner were still in progress, this provided an opportunity to refine plans and ensure compliance. Tahoe Donner temporarily paused work to align with their processes, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining community standards. During this time, communication challenges with the former Deck Envy Project Manager arose, which added some stress to the process. However, these hurdles were eventually overcome, with Tahoe Donner granting permit approval and work resuming. The project was back on track, setting the stage for a successful completion. The good news is that with the resumption of work, I began to see that I was getting a high-quality job. During this time, Deck Envy went through a significant re-structuring with management and personnel changes. The new team was much more responsive to my inquiries, and even began sending me project updates without me having to request. The project completed on time and on budget, and I am extremely satisfied with the 'new' Deck Envy and the work that they did. Deck Envy did an impressive job of reorganizing and moving forward in a timely manner during my project. I would recommend Deck Envy for future projects.

I was nearly out of time to meet the clearing deadline and luckily found Lupe and the Old Town team!

Communication was easy and the company was incredibly skilled and professional. When Tahoe Donner Forestry came back for final inspection we passed with flying colors and they said our defensible space was the best they've seen in TD! I would HIGHLY recommend this company.
