Get matched with top deck or porch build or replacers in Edwardsville, KS

"In 2004, Terry DeFraties of Essential Extras designed and constructed a new deck and pergola for us. We were interested in using a sustainable long lasting wood product. Terry and crew had just begun installing Ipe (Brazilian hardwood). Terry was receptive to our ideas and expanded on our requests. The outcome was a well designed unique deck that is still in great shape today. When requested, Terry inspects the deck and his crew does appropriate maintenance. In 2020, we renovated our lower level that had not been updated in thirty years. Terry presented a redesigned kitchen/bar that maintained the original footprint but reorganized the space in much better way. He co-ordinated his staff and sub contractors during the entire renovation process. I used the companies he suggested for the design elements of the project- cabinetry and counter tops, flooring and plumbing fixtures. Our downstairs area is now a comfortable and very usable living space while adding 1400 square feet of value to our home."

"Very quick service with a bid about 40% less than a competitor on porch repair and replacement of a driveway flange. No frills but the subcontractor was attentive to getting the job done and clean up after (which I did appreciate). While the work was done in a day the final price seemed reasonable in light of the fact that I don't have that skill set or tools to make it happen. Overall very pleased with the result."

"Joe did a great quality job on our build! He pays attention to details and makes it right!"

"Prompt, professional, and easy to work with. Communication was stellar. They did a very thorough job: power washed, chemical deck brightened, sanded, and stained. Our deck looks great!"

"The whole crew did an amazing job on my deck and fence!! Would highly recommend!"

"This is a maintenance free deck that should last my lifetime. On the higher end of the cost scale but I didn't want wood that would need stained or painted. And I especially didn't want decking material that deteriorates after 5 years. Or discolors and gets covered in mold. Very sturdy build. Build team asked me about any issues they ran into and together we worked out a plan. Very happy with the people and the deck."

"This company was very professional and did an amazing job on my replacement deck. I was stuck in a bad place, was doing a home refi when my old deck crashed and had an upcoming appraisal scheduled. Their salesman actually helped work with the crew to get it done in time. That was going way above and beyond and I would not hesitate to use them again!"
