Initially, when we received quotes from various contractors it was clear that Alex was a bit on the higher side. Perhaps, 25-30% higher. However, I can say that every extra penny is worth it considering the look and quality of the deck. From the start, I was impressed by how well Alex explained how the deck would be built and how to make it functional. We were given ideas and a list of material options that we could choose from. Alex took great care in making everything fit perfectly to our specific requests. From start to finish, working with Alex at Pulsar Construction was a great experience, and I feel confident recommending him to everyone.

TEN [10] months ago we contracted with this firm to build us a Trex deck…read more "AJ" built us a rock-solid deck that we are nearly completely pleased with the exceptions of several 'accessory' items. 1. The ground cover that they recycled does not go end-to-end. [see hose door] 2. There is absolutely no ground cover installed under the expansive step that was requested and built. 3. The hose door - built in order that there would be no unsightly garden hose laying on or around the deck. The closing mechanism is amateur PLUS, when inside, the hose lays on dirt...the ground cover does not extend to the outside edge of the deck. The most frustrating part of the above problems was/is that the owner made no attempt to re-visit the site in order to offer some correction to them but, rather, chose to debate and argue about whether or not we were correct in our observations. We have waited for contact from the company for TEN months [there is a 2-year labour warranty that is totally useless unless the persons involved in the construction make the effort to come to the site, view the problems, and make some effort to correct same]. After reviewing other customers observations it will come as no surprise to read a series of excuses from the principal of the company but, rest assured, what has been written above is factual and true. If any potential customer of this company is so interested...upon contact...I will invite them to our home to see the finished product. Repeating the initial statement ... a very solid deck was built...the custom features coupled with an attempt by the company to minimize cost [ground cover], and argue rather than repair forces us them give them a middle-range rating. Be certain that everything is in writing with sketches and photos.

Worst contractors I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with…read more Hired Deck Experts to built a modest-sized deck patio cover, aluminum with tinted glass roof, 8'x12'. The end product looks fine, but the total lack of professionalism made me regret hiring these guys. The workers left a mess and damaged property, without saying anything, and we received no apology from them. After being blown off in early May, I decided to leave the project until next year, but in mid-August, the company owner emailed back asking if I was still interested. I (now regretfully) said sure. Here's' my experience...I met with the owner, Darryl G. we were then emailed a quote of $2465+tax for the 8'X12' (96 sq ft) project. We gave it the green light. We were sent an email to prepay a 50% deposit at the local CIBC, which I thought was a bit strange. I was a bit hesitant. Normally, every contractor I've worked with gets a cheque the day they show up to start a project. And, they pick up a cheque and deposit it into their own bank. We went ahead hoping our money wasn't just gone with the wind. This should have been a red flag 2 weeks after our deposit, workers appeared on the back deck and started work...no phone call notification, no knock on the door even? Also of note, the company owner was not present...just two second-rate hired hands. (Who I vetted to do the job is not who I got. Very misleading). It didn't take long, maybe two hours, for installation. They vanished. No knock on the door to say they were done? My deck was covered in aluminum cuttings/shards, bolts/screws, dirt/gunk from the gutters they cut away, and even exact-o blade bits. Not cool. Also, a large flower planter was smashed on my back patio. I would have expected a knock and apology. And clean up! Unbelievably, I discovered that the workers used my patio furniture as sawhorses to cut metal posts. Unacceptable. Only two of three quoted support posts were installed. I quickly sent emails to the owner and advised them of my issues. He replied to say "he'll talk to them" about the clean up. He also said that the third support post was deemed unnecessary with the installation of a supposedly heftier beam. When this decision was made is beyond me. The price was "unaffected." Any modification to a quote should be made in writing to inform customers...otherwise it leaves them wondering if they're getting what they paid for...that should be normal practice for all industries. Better to keep the customer in the loop than not. Note: completely ignored my broken planter situation. I know it was intact before they showed up. Grrr. If you're looking for great attention to detail and customer service, this is not the place for you. Honestly, if they hadn't of left it messy and broken my planter, I wouldn't be upset. (If they had addressed the broken pot and apologized upfront, I wouldn't be as upset). C'est la vie. I'm left feeling like I don't matter, probably because in Deck Experts' world, I don't. After a barrage of emails, and then cc-ing the owner's accountant/wife, I finally received an email apology. He "said" he fired the guys that did my install without having seen the work/damage in person. I also was offered a small discount for my labour to clean up THEIR mess, with my own shop vac., and the cost of replacing my broken planter. One final note, I withheld paying the balance since they forgot to bolt one of the support beams to the roof (would that pass code?) properly. It took 2 weeks to get someone to fix this?? I wish someone had posted any feedback about this company. There is no way this is their first debacle. I would have avoided them like the plague.

Sub-trades showed up to a site that wasn't ready, causing delays and extra charges. Work had to be redone multiple times because the contractor kept using his own guys -- who weren't qualified -- instead of letting the skilled sub-trades do the job properly. It became clear he was trying to save on costs at our expense. The "all-in" quote was anything but. Change orders kept appearing for work that should have been included, and the pricing was unreasonable given they were already on site. No real project management. No accountability. The only saving grace was the sub-trades themselves, who did solid work when they were finally given a prepared site to work on. We wasted months, paid more than we should have, and had to fight for work to be done correctly. Save yourself the headache.
