The first project was a new fence and motorized gate about 5 years ago (it looks just as amazing now as it did the day they completed it)- from start to finish, the TH team was very knowledeable, gave us many options, were always prompt in both showing up when they said they would, and returning inquiries and other phone calls. Their workspace was always clean and thoughtful for our pets and family to traverse to and from the house while they worked on the project. And most importantly, the finished gate and fences were clean, high quality and polished... and better than we imagined! Our second project we just finished this past month was our deck (and roofing as our garage sits underneath our deck). They replaced our leaky wooden deck with new beams, proofing/coating, tiles this time (the whole nine) and it is perfect- complete with polished iron, a side gate to match our existing gates/aesthetic and touch ups where needed. Tal was very transpararent from the beginning and made us aware of the pros and cons for every material and promptly finished the whole project within two weeks. He went above and beyond-communicated every step of the way. We trust them with any home project and would hire him and his team again in a heartbeat.

I had an excellent experience working with Yair and Dr Deck, who built a truly outstanding deck for…read moremy home. I initially contacted Yair through Yelp, and he responded immediately to schedule an on-site walkthrough and provide an estimate. The project involved rebuilding an upper main deck, a lower deck, and two sets of stairs using composite materials (Trex/TimberTech). Because of the unique design of the house and lot, all elements were irregularly shaped, so I specifically wanted a true deck specialist. Yair quickly provided a detailed and competitive quote, offered expert guidance on design and construction details, and brought material samples to help with selections. His pricing was the most competitive given the scope of work, and he committed to an aggressive one-month timeline that was my hard deadline to ensure the deck would be completed in time for Christmas holiday parties. Yair's five-person crew arrived on time every day, kept the site clean at the end of each shift, and demonstrated exceptional attention to detail. The workmanship was excellent throughout: hidden clip systems were used for a clean, screwless look across the deck surfaces, countersunk plugs were used along the borders, and all cuts and measurements were precise. As someone who works in real estate development and is very detail-oriented about construction quality, I was extremely impressed with the final result. Additionally, the team went above and beyond by reinforcing the foundation and underlying framing to prevent future settling, rather than relying solely on the original footings that had been compromised by termite damage. Yair was on site daily to supervise the work and provide expert input on several challenging transitions and angles created by the home's layout. The project was completed in just 12 working days--ahead of the planned 15-day schedule--with no cost overruns. Overall, I highly recommend Dr Deck to anyone looking for high-quality craftsmanship, professionalism, and reliable execution on a deck project.

We had an old deck that had seen better days so an upgrade was needed. We went with Trex composite. Angel, Raul and Joel did a great job. Professional, hard working and listened to our needs. Angel was the foreman and came to the house every day to make sure the project was on track and also rolled up his sleeves when needed. John handled the contract and payment schedule and was very easy to work with as well. They also finished the project within the timeline set in the contract. I plan on hiring them again for our front deck.

In my 60+ years, I have hired more contractors than I care to remember. There were many good ones…read moreand, unfortunately, many terrible ones. In all my dealings with the contractors, I have never had an experience like what I had with YourDeckBuilders.com. Whenever I hire a contractor, I always make an effort to observe the workers to see how they do their job. If I watch any of them long enough, I would always notice something that is not up to par and had to ask them to do it correctly. With Angel(project manager) and his crew, however, I did not have a single incident where I thought they did a subpar job. It was always a pleasure to see how much attention they pay to the details. It was obvious that the crew takes pride in their work. It didn't take long before I felt perfectly comfortable to let them do their work and only check on the progress once in a while. Each time I go check, my spirit is lifted anew by all the fresh signs of quality workmanship. Besides the satisfaction with the workmanship, I much appreciate Angel's emphasis on safety. This is especially important to me because our deck is on a hillside. I was thrilled to see Angel's team putting in more than 50 deep footings(yes, I counted them), each one down to the bedrock supporting the deck. To this old engineer's eyes, it was clearly an overbuilt for safety, and I love every bit of it. I know in my heart that when the big quake hits, my family will be perfectly safe standing on our deck. In all my previous contractor experiences with any sizeable project, there was never a time where I didn't experience at least some stress and anxiety, whether on quality, schedule, cost, etc. During my entire experience with YourDeckBuilder.com, I have experienced nothing but excitement and satisfaction. It was a uniquely strange feeling that I shared with my wife and family repeatedly during the duration of the project because I could never have expected my experience with any contractor to be so pleasant. The guys at YourDeckBuilder.com are, by far, the best contractor I have ever worked with.

This contractor is well reviewed with an impressive portfolio and highly qualified - BUT.. as soon as we discussed issues around the city permitting requirements, it quickly went south. From citing delays, potential added costs, etc. which is understandable. HOWEVER, we were able to acquire a simple "over the counter" permit from RPV which did not require submitting any plans, details, product specs, etc. since it was simply replacing current -- existing composite boards. After advising him of such, we get a request to meet and being told, he could no longer do the job due to a worker injury. While it may be the case, it just seemed TOO coincidental that this happens immediately upon my sending a text advising of the permitting. SOOO I guess the lesson learned from this case is if even licensed contractors express hesitations or push back about permitting.. STAY AWAY from them. Now we have to start the painful task of interviewing contractors and bids again.. THANKS FOR NOTHING iDeck!!!!

I had a great experience working with Imperial Deck and Construction on my deck…read more From the start, communication was excellent-hands down the best I've ever had with a contractor. Peri was always easy to get in touch with and kept me updated throughout the whole project. What really stood out was that Peri was on site every day checking in on the work and supervising his team. He explained each step along the way and made sure I was comfortable with everything that was happening, which I really appreciated. The deck turned out great, and you can tell a lot of care went into the work. Everything was done thoughtfully, the space was kept clean, and the end result came out even better than I expected. I'd definitely recommend Peri to anyone looking for someone reliable, easy to work with, and who truly cares about doing a good job.

The day the work started, Jack arrived exactly when he said he would. He and his assistant did such a great job over two days, and also cleaned up afterwards. I am already considering using Jack again for another project. The work is beautiful and it is such a pleasure working with someone who is clearly a craftsman. He is also a genuinely nice person. Sadly you don't always find that combination nowadays.

LA Railings was a pleasure to work with and we are extremely pleased with the finish work and look…read moreof our new glass railings! We did an major renovation of our home. We engaged LA Railings in the middle of the project, before we did any work on our existing stairs. We had two sets of non-floating stairs, a landing, and a set of floating stairs. The floating stair case, the most complex of the project, was made longer and wider, and having them involved in this piece of the project was important. We had new steel treads welded and the stand off bolts were welded before tread installation. Precise measurements and plans were very important. Sharam came on site several times before the project started and worked closely with our GC and Welder. I worked with Clalyton on the design. He gave me a few options, where the standoffs would be placed. I also able to visit the store front in North Hollywood. Sharam gave me a few different standoff sizes to try out on the treads after the hardwood wraps were completed. This really helped to decide the aesthetically the best size to use. The work crews that came out were very professional and helpful explaining the work and next steps. They took care to protect our home as most of it was finished work. It took several visits to complete the work (very large job) and do some adjusting. Sharam came out several times during the installation phase to oversee the work. Glass Railings really change and beautify your home. We had mostly metal railings, clean look, but now our floating staircase with the glass railings are absolutely the star of the home when you walk inside. Are they pricey? Yes, but even custom metal railings are expensive. These glass panels are tempered (think shower doors) AND double layered. If you have done any shower doors (we recently did 3 sets for 3 bathrooms) or installed new windows/sliding glass doors (I can't count how many we just installed!), glass is very expensive! Highly recommend using LA Railings and definitely wouldn't hesitate to use them again! Sharam, Clayton, and Staff were excellent!

1-Star Review: Very Disappointing Experience With LA Railings (Van Nuys)…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience using LA Railings in Van Nuys. Nothing about this installation went smoothly, and the final result still looks uneven. I was originally told the installation would take 1.5 to 2 hours, but the crew was in my home for 5.5 to 6 hours, which completely disrupted my day. The first major issue was the handrail installation. The brackets were placed 3.5 inches off the glass railing, which looked completely wrong for a narrow residential staircase. When I contacted the owner, he insisted that 3.5 inches was "required by code." I asked for the exact code because my research showed no such requirement. He later admitted there is no code, and agreed to replace them at 1.5 inches, which is how they should have been installed from the beginning. The glass installation was also problematic. The panels were not flush, requiring three separate appointments before they finally aligned them. Even now, the spacing between the glass panels is uneven -- one gap is noticeably larger than the others. If spacing was part of the design, it should have been even and intentional, not random. Another issue I was disappointed to discover is that the base they installed includes four weep holes. Weep holes are typically used for drainage in exterior or commercial installations, not inside a home. In a residential staircase, they simply look like four chips in the base. This was never explained or discussed with me beforehand, and it detracts from the clean, modern look I specifically hired them to create. What was most frustrating was the lack of accountability. I contacted the owner again regarding the uneven glass spacing, and he never responded. After all the issues and return visits, the complete lack of follow-up or courtesy was unacceptable. For the price I paid, I expected professional workmanship, accurate information, and proper customer service. Instead, I received misinformation, repeated corrections, and unresolved issues that still impact the appearance of my home. I cannot recommend LA Railings. The product itself could have been beautiful, but the execution, communication, and attention to detail were extremely disappointing.
