DecksBySchmillen, they were top-ranked on Angieâ s List and had only positive and extremely thankful reviews. I couldnâ t agree more as Doug Schmillen and his son-lead team were top-notch from start to finish and we are totally pleased. We compared several contractors and it always came back to Doug Schmillen, who provided the best information, examples, details of the project and their attention to detail and workmanship was as important to them as it was to us. What a great experience and we love our new decks.

Decks by Schmillen did a great job! This is the second deck they have built for us and we are return customers because of the high quality, professionalism and responsiveness. Doug's team were sensitive to us as far as where they stored their equipment, truck and other items necessary for the job; they were on time, on budget, cleaned up the property during and after the deck build, also checking in regularly to let us know the status of the project. Our deck is simple but beautiful and high quality. We are very pleased with the company and the end result. We highly recommend Decks by Schmillen!

Schmillen did 2 decks and a patio wrought iron railing with a gate. I would use Doug for all deck work. I live in an HOA and we always recommend Doug for deck work.

It went great! Initially we had hired another deck company to do our project and they got the framework under the decking completed and started to lay the deck boards and the entire job just didn't look "right" to me, the boards were sawed jagged and crooked on the ends and just rather shoddy work and it just looked bad overall, so we asked them to pull off the job. This is when I put a call into Doug. We knew Doug from working with him on a job together - we have a concrete business and worked together on a job, we did the concrete patio while Doug was doing the deck. Anyway, Doug had to take our partially constructed deck and all of our purchased materials and start all over again. After Doug did a complete examination of the deck (even after Regional Building inspected and passed it thus far from the work done by the first company) Doug saw that the framework under the deck was not done to code, even though it had passed in the inspection. So Doug met with the inspector and got it all figured out thankfully. The entire deck had to be removed and rebuilt by Doug, which was not an easy task. To save us money from having to go out and buy all new materials again, they tried their best to utilize all of the treated lumber, composite deck boards and composite handrail that they could. They did a great job and in the end we could be happier with our small, but beautiful deck - we love it! Thanks to Doug and his crew for having the patience, skill and expertise to make something beautiful out of the mess we had and the pile of materials they had to work with!

I selected Decks by Schmillen because they received so many high reviews on Angie's List. I'm happy to add mine to the rest. Doug and his team were professional and personable throughout the entire process and the communication was outstanding. The finished product is a work of beauty and craftsmanship. I highly recommend this company.

Doug and his team did a great job. They redesigned our deck, tore down the old deck, and rebuilt the new one. The new decks look amazing and we couldn't be happier. The crew actually even did a minor repair on a fence gate that broke during extremely high winds that occurred during the project. This was completely free and without being asked to do so. We really appreciate their work and thoughtfulness.

Doug was awesome as was his crew! He took our thoughts, provided us great guidance about our options and helped us turn our vision into our new deck. He was very knowledgeable about all the materials out there identifying the pros and cons of each. His website was also extremely helpful. He did not look to upsell us on anything. Just gave us the options/costs, pros/cons of each and let us decide. He wanted to make sure their product achieved our vision and they did that in spades. Once the project got started he was in constant contact with us about what they were doing and when they were going to do it especially with all the weather we had over the last month which impacted construction. The crew was quiet, respectful to a fault and great to interact with. Definitely would work with them again!

Doug and his crew were exceptional. The bid process was flawless and they were in constant communication throughout the process. The crew showed up every morning at 7:30 and worked until 5:00 or 5:30. Only took them three days to complete the repairs which included replacing 37 joists and installing an under deck drainage system. The crew was very knowledgeable and their attention to detail was extraordinary. Would not hesitate to hire them again.

AWESOME! Doug and his family were a pleasure to work with from the start! They were professional and took time to find out what our design priorities were, and offered ideas and material selections to meet our preferences and budget. He worked with us on all aspects of design, materials, and color options. He even added a locking gate at the top of the stairs for the safety of our fur babies. We now have a beautiful, one-of-a-kind, safe, and inviting outdoor space. We cannot wait for warmer weather so we can get out and enjoy it more.
