Patrick and the crew were professional, punctual, courteous and have a fantastic work ethic. The deck is beautiful with added special designs. We would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — HU-247227035, Dec. 2020** > I cannot recommend Built Better Construction enough. > Patrick did a big job for us which involved removing multiple interior walls, installing a supporting beam and a kitchen remodel. > The standard of craftsmanship was superb, and Patrick delivered the whole project ahead of the tight time frame we were working with so we could move in with our young family. **★★★★★ — William Schollmeyer, Dec. 2020** > I had Built Better Construction build a 16’ X 16” deck and install a patio door on the back of my house. The job was completed as contracted with no issues. > The quality of Patrick’s workmanship is amazing and he is a pleasure to work with. He is very meticulous with his work and is very attentive to every last detail. Work area was kept neat and organized and cleanup was done at the end of each work day. The deck came out much better than anticipated and the quality of the workmanship is outstanding. > I now have a beautiful and very solid new deck which I will enjoy for many years and could not be happier with the final product. > Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Built Better Construction. **★★★★★ — Lynn Servay, Dec. 2020** > Was very professional. Kept me apprised of the status of the job redoing my deck, through to completion.
