"The salesman missed the first appointment scheduled for 10:00 April 23 - received call from officie at 9:10 He had emergency.scheduled next appointment for April 28 at 10:00 and salesman showed  20 minutes late. He got stuck in traffic.
Salesman was very honest about the deal I had purchased the 6 landscaping lights for $649. I could take the deal but I would be calling again to add additional lights. His ideas were right on and what type of lights and where to put them. The job was scheduled for May 6 and it would take 2 days. They called to say they could come out earlier and they did and installed all of the lights in a day and a half. The lights look great and one of the lights went out just a few weeks ago and I called and they were out the next day. There is a 5 year warranty on the lights.

"These folks were great. They made some recommendations to improve things like my lighting design which really worked out great. They completed the project early and did superior work. I would hire them again in a New York minute."

"Contractor arrived earlier than scheduled and got straight to work.  Unfortunately the problem with the light involved more complex electrical work than I had thought so it was not fixed.  However, he did fix the problem I was having with the faulty lighting in the ceiling fans from my original request - I was using the wrong light-bulbs.  Go figure!

"There was initially a difficulty in scheduling the estimate and installation, which was concerning, as I already had purchased the Angie's Deal. However, German and his team made up for it by installing the entire system on the weekend. There were some minor electrical issues a month later, but German responded quickly and fixed it.

"I had hired an electrician in the past to replace an outside electrical box and was surprised to learn that the industry average for any home visit was a flat $300.  When I saw the Angie's List special $99 for $200 worth of work, I jumped on this great deal.  I only had two minor issues to resolve...I had recently replaced the light bulbs on the front porch lights and with a couple weeks one stopped working, I assumed there was a loose wire.  The tech removed the fixture and determined the connections were good and only needed to replace the bulbs.  And I had a light switch in the kitchen that was not working, the tech replaced the switch.  When the work was complete the tech told me that I exceeded the $200 worth of work and his flat fee for the work performed was $279, plus $5 for the switch.  I ended up paying an additional $84 for this deal.

"Marshall Painter and his Project Manager Raul provided an excellent product. Marshall suggested various enhancements to the porch plan and they were excellent. He and Raul were in contact with me throughout construction to ensure I was pleased. Raul managed a team that was hardworking, polite, responsive and showed pride in their work. Several neighbors who observed the construction asked for business cards and followed up with contacts for similar projects. I have been very pleased work and final product."

First off - we LOVE our deck. It's a great product and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I would definitely recommend Deckorators to people if they want to have a deck installed.

I have done program/project management for many years. When it comes to developing a product, we always concentrated on three things - Cost, Schedule, Performance (i.e. product). We would always say "you can have it good, fast and cheap; but you can only have two". I took this view into our project. So, let me comment on those three areas.

Cost: Deckorators was one of three bid we received.  Deckorators was the only company that fit our budget and gave us what we wanted.  They were 20% less than anything else we asked about. We were a bit reserved about that - you sometimes get what you pay for. But, that never was an issue. We signed a contract for a deck, for a set price, and we assumed we would receive what we asked for. And, we did

Product - We LOVE our deck. We met with Jon Parsons in late February 2015. We described what we wanted, and he drafted plans for what we outlined. They were exactly what we wanted, and we signed a contract soon after. We had to have a concrete patio removed (they did) and had a VERY large Trex deck installed. We wanted river rock under the deck; that was done. The deck we wanted was all Trex, with all posts wrapped. That was done.  They put more posts in than was required, since we wanted to add an outdoor enclosure later on.  All the lights and electrical outlets were installed.  As I said up front - the deck we envisioned and was presented - we got it. 

The patio removal - it was a big project. What looked like a standard patio took 5 days to remove. And, they worked EVERY day. With jack hammers.  They needed 2 dumpsters to haul it away. They removed it all by wheel barrow.  It was NOT an easy task. But, they did it. There were 3 WM bags that had to be hauled. They did that too. And, they were able to preserve our brick and sump pump irrigation without fault. The left the area looking great. Was some grass in disrepair? Sure! That is to be expected with the amount of work they did. I don't care about that.

Also, we had a couple of issues that we noticed, things that we had discussed upfront. They were rectified immediately and without complaint. That was appreciated.

Schedule - this was the one issue of contention, and it didn't need to be.  When I asked Jon how long it would take to install the deck, he told me "5 days". I didn't believe it, not will I ever.  I told him "tell me it'll take 3 weeks, that's fine".  He stuck to his 5 days.  In the end, it took 23 days. Am I upset? Not in the least! I knew it would take longer. It took 5 days to tear up the existing patio (it was like a pillbox on a hill in WW2).  We lost days to weather. We lost days to inspection.  We lost days to waiting on material. We lost days to the workers having other things to do. That's par for the course.  Ultimately, we got our deck done. Done right. Done as we expected it. And, done in 3 weeks like we assumed it would be done.

Lastly, let me say this, something that I told Jon.  We lost all of March to weather and needing to get HOA approval, which we knew we would. We're not unsympathetic to that. Finally, we had approval in mid April, along with a property survey. Then - nothing. No conversation. We reached out via text and email, and got little in response. It made us very frustrated. I told Jon about this on several occasions. I understand that he's busy. The one thing I would recommend to them - be honest and up front with your customers. If you're going to lose days to weather, material delivery, holidays, other projects - say so. If you're busy and can't get back immediately, that's ok too.  Just be up front. I think a lot of reviewers are giving them poor reviews because of lack of communication and unrealistic expectations.

Deckorators did a wonderful job of giving us exactly what we envisioned. It took awhile, but with anyone contractor that's to be expected. We had to keep in contact, but that wasn't as frustrating in retrospection as it was at the time. They met our budget. The final product is outstanding and passed inspection immediately. Their workers were polite and professional.  I would do work with them in the future, without hesitation.

"They were excellent. They did a great job for a very reasonable price. I am planning on hiring them again in the spring."

"The attic fan to be installed in the Angie's List deal was over-sized for my townhouse attic. So, they removed the existing dead fan and installed a new fan of the same capacity as the dead fan and charged me $100 less than the Angie's List Deal of $349.  The installation included a new thermostat and power switch. A thoroughly well-done job.
I called Angie's List and they promptly answered my call (no voice-mail nightmare) and suggested that they credit back to my card the $349 charge and I pay to Pariseau Electric the agreed-upon charge of $249.
The Pariseau Electric crew was headed by James, who was a pleasure to deal with.
I think this is my new favorite electrician.
BTW, this was my first time using Angie's List. I am pleased.
