My elderly father contacted First State Building & Design to get an estimate on a kitchen…read morerenovation. After several weeks of back and forth, a representative for FSBD instructed my father to provide a $5,000 deposit to secure a spot on their schedule; after that, FSBD would send over a contract. After receiving the contract, which he never signed, my father had several concerns about the language it used (particularly regarding indemnification). A different FSBD rep told him the contract language couldn't be changed, so my father let the company know via e-mail that he was going to go with a different contractor and asked for his deposit back. There was no response from FSBD for several days. By the time someone did get back to him, my father had signed a contract with another company. However, FSBD refused to give back the deposit. At that point, I stepped in (I'm a lawyer). FSBD still wouldn't return the money, so we filed an action against them in small claims court. There was a trial, and the judge agreed with us and entered a judgment against FSBD. The judge instructed the company to return the entire $5,000 plus court costs. However, the owner still won't return the money, in violation of the Court's Order. In short, I wouldn't recommend this company on account of its dishonest business practices.

I live in a very well to do neighborhood and unfortunately, these guys will look up house values and charge accordingly so while some neighborhoods will get $10k decks, not mine. If I was living in DC suburbs then they'd charge us $50k for the deck. I got the PVC Aztek material with metal posts. The guys did the job in 2 days. I was worried when I saw scuffs on my new deck the day after install, but Luke came to buff them out. With Aztek, you have to be very careful about scratching the deck with furniture so I've yet to put anything on my deck! We rarely eat out there anyways. We're not outdoorsy people.

In both solidity of structure and also presentation. The workers were pleasant, tidy, cleaned up each day, and assisted working through some unknowns that cropped up. I used high quality lighting, and porch rail which included a flat top for drinks, and also LED lighted from underneath. I am not prone to writing reviews, generally, but where work is especially good it should be acknowledged so their business can expand. The design and quote phase introduced some new ideas to my intentions. Kevin, MIcah, and Jose did a great job on-site.

That's ridiculous!!! Don't call for repairs that's for sure. After spending 10k on the fence, it's $750 for one panel put in? Not even replaced.

Once I spoke with Nick ( the owner ) there was a sense of trust I felt, he understood the project more than any other contractor I spoke with so far. He quickly came out to perform an estimate, and I dreaded the idea of putting money out for a new deck.. Not only was his estimate insanely reasonable, he didn't suggest a new deck at all. He repaired some boards that were rotted and loose, and refinished the whole deck. My jaw dropped from the results, not only is IronRidge Contracting great at building decks, they are equally as great at repairing them! His estimate and final price lined up so well, he even offers financing, which I happily took advantage of this time around. When it comes to decks Nick from Iron Ridge knows what he's doing, saying he's an expert is an understatement. If anything go get an estimate, talk with them and trust me, you'll be hiring them in no time! A++ Thanks again Team!
