From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to walk us through the design, answer all of our questions, and make sure everything was structurally sound and up to code.

The craftsmanship is outstanding. The finished patio is not only beautiful, but solid and well-built. You can tell they take pride in their work by their attention to detail.

We were kept informed throughout the process.  Our project was complex involving two decks with changes along the way. The project took less time than we expected.  The results are beautiful and have added much value to our home.

We hired them for a deck reskin in order to get our house market ready and we could not have chosen a better team.  A+ across the board for budget, timeline, and communication throughout the project.  Couldn’t be happier with the end result.

We had a great experience with the folks at Apex Deck Co, starting with our initial evaluation and all the way through the end of the project. Very timely, easy to work with, and excellent workmanship on replacing our patio cover and enclosing the space with screens. Would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Firstly we L O V E our new deck, it turned out even better than we had hoped. The craftsmanship throughout is second to none. The devil is in the detail and our master deck crafter Ryan, a.k.a •Deckman” did not disappoint. He did an outstanding job throughout and Ryan actually did it all by himself: Everything from demo’ing the old deck to crafting an entirely new deck soup to nuts, he did it all on his own. Quite impressive! Consequently the project took a tad longer than I expected. And I admit that when we awarded Apex Deck with our project we just assumed that Ryan would bring with him a team of guys who’d work together with him. But in reality Ryan was quite adamant about working alone. In the end, we truly didn’t mind that Ryan needed a little extra time to finish the job and get it done right. He has a unique eye for this and we simply love the end result. Lastly we’re very happy with choosing Apex Deck as our vendor.
