What DeckTec did to my once beautiful deck is deplorable and has ruined my outdoor space. The deck is a disaster, the stain is uneven, heavy & pooled in some areas, completely uneven and very unfinished. The whole deck will need to be fully restored, it will cost us a ton to undo the work they did. What in the world stain did you use??!! This is not a redwood deck, this is a light tone black locust, known for it’s beautiful natural and durable look and wear. Disaster! It will surly take a lot of sanding to get this cheap mess they left removed. I was home when the crew was “finishing up” and asked them, “are you going to do the posts?” they responded with “no ma’am, only horizontal surfaces are in the work order.” I let them know that I would reach out to their manager to figure out where the disconnect happened but that it would be great to have them back any time this week to finish the job. The manager responded to my husbands email and stated that we approved the bid with horizontal surfaces only; who in the world quotes ONLY HORIZONTAL SURFACES & NO VERTICALS??? I now have a 3 tone deck, absolute disaster!! Why would you bid a deck refinish and stain like this? DeckTec is claiming that we are responsible, however, when you say “stair treads, you mean to leave stairs looking the way they do? I highly doubt it. They have worked on our deck for several seasons now so to claim you’re in the clear when you’ve been servicing the same deck over and over is just ridiculous. The quote was approved quickly with minimal review as we trusted that the vendor that’s been to our house many times, would quote us correctly. What a mistake! The issue they CANNOT ARGUE is the work on the surfaces they did do is horrible, a complete and utter disaster. Wrong shade of stain & completely uneven everywhere. This has been a nightmare all the way through and now we get to go out and spend way more money to fix what they’ve done. Beware of DeckTec unless you want your deck to look like mine – awful!

Absolutely awful experience with this business. We are going to have to hire another company to sand and re-stain the entire deck. We have used DeckTec for a few years and they always tend to over communicate and over complicate with a slew of phone calls and emails but this final experience was almost like a practical joke. They used the wrong stain, applied it unevenly and then didn’t do the vertical surfaces because as the manager Nikole says “There is no mention of vertical surfaces in the proposal.” The vertical wood option would bring the total to around $1200 they said. Thats even just the wood posts on a deck with metal railings! Probably would have taken another 20 minutes. I just wanted my deck stained, all of it, and now it has to be completely repaired. I even power-washed it for hours myself to help the prep process. I support local small businesses and I realize how hard it is out there but this place is being mismanaged. I wish you all could see how bad my $30k deck looks in person. I’m almost excited to read their reply about how this is my fault. Shoot me a message for details on this experience, I’ll save you some time and money.

Great experience with everyone at DeckTec from initial bid to project completion. Josh, Mitch, and Logan were not only very talented carpenters but they demonstrated true craftsmenship throughout the construction. And our neighbors noticed their strong work ethic as well, starting work early every day and working full days. We had great communication while awaiting permit approval and throughout the project with Eric and Keith keeping us in the know. Expectations for our new deck were definitely exceeded by DeckTec. Thanks so much for a beautiful deck and a job very well done!
