"We contracted with Atlantic Deck Co. to build a large second-story deck supported by a 3-1/2 foot high concrete and stone floodproofing wall. The deck also serves as a roof to a screened-in area enclosed by the flood wall. After two house floods and no action by our county government to limit the size of "ponding areas" created on our property during rainstorms, we had accepted the necessity of a wall; however we were apprehensive about how liveable we could make the lower area contained by it. Chris Mallonee at Atlantic Deck proposed an excellent design that keeps the lower area bright and attractive as well as dry and accessible from the back yard. We had interviewed several contractors for the work and came away from that process feeling sure that Atlantic Deck had put the most thought into the project and was the most capable of handling both the masonry and carpentry parts of the job equally well.
The actual contracting was easy. We'd had a good idea of what we wanted, but adopted several of Chris' suggestions with respect to arrangement and finishing. The prices were fair and what was to be delivered was made very clear. One of the most impressive things in working with Atlantic Deck was how quickly and clearly the prices of changes could be estimated and separated. We knew going in that we could not afford to do everything we wanted, but Chris planned the project so as to enable any adding on in the future to be done with a minimum of rework. Additionally, once excavation began the county demanded changes in the size of the foundation (even after having approved the permit), and I give Atlantic Deck all the credit for figuring out how to keep the project going without delay or excessive cost.
The craftsmanship of the construction itself was impressive. Mike Roberts was in charge of the concrete wall construction. As I said, we'd been apprehensive about whether the flood wall would look more like a fortification rather than a living space. I should not have worried. He made it look great and it has become a very comfortable part of our house. He made rapid progress and by the time it was partially complete we knew the rest of the project would go well. Then Chris' crew took over to build the deck. Armando was the lead carpenter. He was meticulous in his attention to detail and relentless about completing the work (he even worked weekends and over Thanksgiving, which we certainly did not ask that he do). Overall, he did a really beautiful job.
Both crews showed up like clockwork at the house, every day with a brief exception for Hurricane Sandy. They knew exactly what needed to be done and it was gratifying to see how much progress was made day after day. Considering the scope of the construction (we probably enlarged our living space by 1/3 the size of the house), they were able to keep the yard clean and orderly, and everyone was very pleasant. Altogether the project was worth every penny, is built to last and looks even better than we had hoped. My experience with Atlantic Deck Co. was great, start to finish. I won't hesitate to use them again and recommend them to anyone for any type of home construction work.
