We agreed on design, costing and time for completion. He was currently quite busy with projects and gave me a starting time for June 15th 2021, as I would be the 11th job on his work list in 2021. I also requested that the project be completed at least to the point of using it by July 1st Canada day weekend as my entire family would be in town to celebrate that holiday. True to his word Ryan even started our job about week early and had the deck ready for use by July 1st. > His crew were hard workers and very pleasant . > The work site was kept very clean and tidy at the end of there work days, which was important to me. > Even though there were supply issues because of the pandemic and everyone who has had any home projects done , will know the price of materials had escalated . Ryan was very proactive in minimizing these increased costs by getting all his supply orders for 2021 done during the preceding winter months. He was quite good about explaining the product options available to us . We settled on PVC which will be very durable and maintenance free. > We are very happy with our new deck it looks beautiful and looking forward to many years of backyard enjoyment. ### All 81 reviews **★★★★★ — Dan McBryde, Nov. 2024** > My old wood deck was rotten, I needed a new one. Ryan came over and gave me an estimate for a new fake wood or PVC one. I got a other estimates from a couple of other companies, some where cheaper but I went with Ryan's PVC option even if it was more expensive, because I never want to have to paint my deck or replace again in my life. Also I got a good vibe from Ryan and that instinct proved correct. I also decided to add a pool to my backyard before the deck project began. This required adding a landing from the deck to the pool/ Ryan had no issues adapting to my changing demands, including the city who threw us a few curveballs to get the pool / deck permit. He was a pleasure to work with, as was his team. The end result was amazing, it looks great and is very sturdy, so I'm sure it will last my whole life as planned. I'm very glad I choose Final Touch and would recommend Ryan and his team to anyone! **★★★★★ — Harold Marcotte, Nov. 2024** > Great attention to detail, neat, clean, highly professional and courteous. A job well done! The crew worked steadily from start to finish and didn't get distracted by other jobs. **★★★★★ — Lynda Thorslund, Sept. 2024** > Final Touch Decks and Fences did an fantastic job building our backyard deck. Ryan's team was professional, punctual and friendly. The work is of excellent quality. Ryan answered all of our questions and was very helpful in providing ideas and suggestions. I highly recommend Final Touch Decks and Fences. We love our new deck and we appreciate the excellent quality of the work. **★★★★★ — Fence anddeck, Aug. 2024** > I am highly recommending Ryan and his team at Final Touch. We had our existing fence and deck replaced are are completely satisfied with both. Ryan kept me informed about the start date and arrived as promised. The deck was dismantled quickly and clean up was impeccable. He used quality materials, even returning substandard boards. This deck will never heave and looks amazing. The team works like a well oiled machine, are polite and professional. The neighbours are also very impressed and now are considering their own fences as well. **★★★★★ — marlablacher, Aug. 2024** > In deciding how to design a deck, Ryan was always so patient in answering all my questions and providing details. His knowledge and experience were evident. Ryan and his team (Alain and Gabriel) were wonderful to work with. They were reliable and hard-working and I am thrilled with the final product. Would highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — Cheryl & Paul, July 2024** > When we looked for a contractor to replace our well-aged cedar deck, Final Touch Decks & Fences stood out above the others. Ryan, the owner, was quick to respond and provided a very competitive quote. He is professional, knowledgeable and gave us excellent recommendations. We were thinking composite, but we chose Timbertech Azek PVC, as per Ryan’s suggestion. It is a beautiful product - the French White Oak with American Walnut trim looks stunning. > We have a new 12x16 PVC deck, railing, skirt and privacy panels. Ryan, Alain and Gabe have commendable work ethics. Their workmanship and attention to detail is exemplary. They respected our property and cleaned up every day before they left. > Ryan consulted with us along the way when needed, offered suggestions and he was always right on. He has a vision and he is meticulous in making it happen. > We have an awesome deck built by an awesome team. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ryan and his team, and have already recommended him to friends. Having said that, we know we won’t need a new deck – this one is so solid it will last forever! > Look no further – you will be very impressed, we certainly were. Thank you Ryan, Alain and Gabe. **★★★★★ — Sandra B, July 2024** > We had a wonderful experience working with Ryan and his crew installing a deck, pergola and privacy panel. > Ryan always listened to our needs and preferences and provided guidance throughout the project. He was very knowledgeable and had great attention to detail. Everything looks amazing and I highly recommend this business. Great friendly customer service. **★★★★★ — Marie-Louise, June 2024** > Hired Ryan and his team to do my deck and loved the results so much I asked him to fence my yard as well. Super friendly and professional. Great work ethic and finished even faster than discussed timelines! 10/10 would recommend! **★★★★★ — Bev Binette, Dec. 2023** > FROM FRUMPY TO FANTASTIC IN 2 DAYS! > > Our dream of a large cedar deck turned into a nightmare of sanding and staining within a few years. We spent more time maintaining the deck than lounging on it. Our 2023 resolution was to reclaim our leisure time during Ottawa’s all too brief summer. The perfect solution came in advice from Ryan Cornel, the owner of Final Touch Decks and Fences. He recommended TimberTech decking as an alternative to composite decking. The quality difference was obvious when Ryan placed samples side by side. We chose Castle Gate by TimberTech without any hesitation. > > The good advice and personal touch continued - our notional design was to divide the horizontal boards with a single vertical board down the middle of the deck. Ryan pointed out that this would result in a waste of materials and money; adding a second vertical board saved hundreds of dollars. The final design also eliminated a drainage problem with the original deck. Ryan was confident that a slight overhang on the sides and front would protect the storage area under the deck. Ryan was right – no more water running down the exterior walls and a design in perfect balance! > > The Final Touch team worked well together. In addition to being highly skilled they were respectful of our property and our time. This dynamic foursome transformed our deck from “frumpy to fantastic” in two days. Working with Final Touch Decks and Fences has been the best and easiest home improvement project we have undertaken in 40 years of homeownership. If you want a deck that is beautiful, well built, completed on time, on budget, and with no surprises along the way then look no further than Ryan Cornel and his team! **★★★★★ — Jeff & Deb Bee, Nov. 2023** > Ryan and his team were amazing. They worked fast and hard completing the construction of our beautiful new deck and gazebo on budget and ahead of schedule. Ryan is an experienced professional with strong service orientation who answered all our questions every step of the way. His work team is wonderful, so polite, courteous and they cleaned up the work site beautifully when the job was done. Thanks to the quality of products and the construction methods Ryan used, we have a deck that will remain beautifully functional for the next 50 years. When we think about value for money we can’t beat this construction. It’s a great investment in the enjoyment, beauty and capital of our home. Thanks Ryan. We’ll see you in the Spring to work on our fence. **★★★★★ — Keith & Pam, Oct. 2023** > We were very pleased with the front porch that Ryan and his team built for us. He showed up when he said he said he would, it was on time and on budget even though there were unforeseen complications. We happened to choose a discontinued colour of Azec Decking. He was only able to get a limited supply. He adapted the design to what was available and did a wonderful job. We have received a number of complements on the appearance of the porch. We're thrilled with the outcome > Thanks Ryan and your team **★★★★★ — Chuck, Oct. 2023** > I had Final Touch replace my old deck with cedar. > They did a tremendous job! I definitely recommend Final Touch. > Very precise in making everything fit including a plant stand a three flower boxes. > The staff, besides being very skillful, were also friendly and polite. **★★★★★ — HU-613176977, Sept. 2023** > From my very rough design of a 2-level deck and pergola, Ryan and his team brought my vision to life. After meeting and talking with Ryan it became clear he took great pride in his work and wouldn’t be satisfied with just “good enough”. As our project came to life, some design tweaks were required, often suggested by Ryan, to ensure the finished structure was sound, to code and pleasing to the eye. Ryan and his team (Alain and Gabe) were always cheerful and respectful and the job site was always left clean and safe. Overall I can’t say enough about these young men-my husband and I are thrilled with the end result and it was a true pleasure to find someone who shared my own mindset-that is to do it properly or don’t do it at all. **★★★★★ — S Beggs, Aug. 2023** > In August 2023, I contracted with Final Touch Decks and Fences to build a deck. Ryan, the owner, came to the home to tell me about his decks and to help me design a deck that would meet my requirements. The team, Ryan, Alain, Gabe and Damien, worked to meet all my requirements, and the needs of my four legged family members The team was polite, and made sure that I was pleased with the deck. The deck was completed within the agreed upon time frame. The yard was left clean. I would highly recommend this company for deck work. In fact, I already have. Thank you Final Touch Decks & Fences for a job well done! **★★★★★ — Ian Carpenter, Aug. 2023** > Ryan and his team were very professional and the work was carried out exactly as we discussed. The workmanship is excellent and we are very happy with the final product. They were very competitive on price too. I am glad we chose Final Touch do our project. **★★★★★ — Andrew & Julie, Aug. 2023** > Ryan and team did a superb job on our new 12'x12' deck with colours Boardwalk and Castle Gate. They started the project earlier than they had originally estimated, and completed it in less than a week. It looks great! **★★★★★ — John, July 2023** > Ryan and his team completed a major deck build for us - approx. 470 sq ft, new structure with helical pile supports, PVC deck boards, multiple level, metal rails and 10x12 pergola. The project took about a week to complete, working every day through that time. The crew was professional, pleasant and very helpful. Ryan's design ideas and suggestions throughout were great. This team was extremely easy to work with and the finished product not only looks fantastic but is solid as a rock. Choosing Final Touch for this project was a big "win" and we would easily recommend Ryan and team to anyone looking for an outdoor build. **★★★★★ — James Reekie, July 2023** > Thank you, Final Touch, very much for the AMAZING deck you have built for us. > > Our project was quite challenging as we required a building code variance from the City of Ottawa due to the deck being built 6 feet above grade while extending into the minimum property setback. Final Touch was very supportive in providing drawings and information necessary to complete the extensive paperwork. > > In terms of deck construction, Final Touch personnel were friendly, professional, polite and careful to leave a clean and tidy worksite at the end of each day. They showed up on time and completed the project on schedule. A couple of additional add-ons were accommodated with no fuss and very economically. > > We have a deck which looks incredible and is rock-solid. Two neighbours who are very knowledgeable in the building trades went out of their way to tell me that they had watched the building process and were extremely impressed, no short cuts and the small details done to a high standard. A building professional doing some warranty work on our home exterior asked if we were installing a hot tub on the deck (we're not) as he had never seen a deck built so solidly. > > Thank you to Ryan and your team. We couldn't be more pleased, and are looking forward to many years of enjoyment on our beautiful deck. > > Pictures below are at the "almost completed" stage. **★★★★★ — abkarim, July 2023** > So, why did I choose Final Touch Decs &Fence - please read my story. I decided to replace my non-code conforming old deck (32 yrs) with a new one. I prepared a sketch of the new design; as well as educating my self about what is involved in deck building. I.e, size of footing and spacing, supporting beam size and how many, joist span, associated ledger and load capacity. Armed with this knowledge and my sketch, I requested quotes from several contractors. One by one, the discussions regarding the build was disappointing and I realized that I was dealing with estimators who side stepped my views on the framing and the build of the deck. I received a formatted quotes with an adapted reference to my design with little detail on deck framing. But this all changed when Ryan (Final Touch Decks & Fences ) came over to discuss the build. Of course, the first question I asked is if he is the estimator. Ryan is the estimator and the builder with many years of experience. Our discussion went well. He addressed all the design aspects I mentioned above together with his input regarding best practices and “tried and true” framing assemblies. > > Ryan orchestrated the demolition of the deck and all the phases of the build in a timely fashion. I am very pleased with the completion of the build time frame. I can’t stop here without mentioning Ryan’s experienced awesome crew, who worked tirelessly to complete the work. Thanks guys. > > I highly recommend Final Touch Decks & Fences for your next project. Cheers **★★★★★ — Sue McRae, May 2023** > Excellent job by Ryan and his team for replacing our deck. They were all professional, hardworking and friendly. Ryan worked along with his team and they came every day until the job was finished. The yard was left clean and tidy at the end of the project. We love our deck and Ryan had great design ideas for its completion like the use of two colours of decking and the installation of privacy screens. The workmanship is excellent, and Ryan always responded quickly to questions and concerns. I highly recommend Final Touch Decks & Fences for your next project! **★★★★★ — Richard Courtemanche, May 2023** > We all feel the angst of finding competent and honest contractors these days. Honesty and trust are fundamental. I had a good fortune, even the joy, of observing these strengths in Ryan and his team right away during a PVC decking job recently. > > > Ryan's knowledge, guidance and planning gave me immediate confidence. The entire crew worked in harmony, which was pleasing to watch, not to mention their meticulous attention to detail. The job was properly assessed and completed on time with a thorough cleaning. > > > Based on my experience, I have no hesitation in highly recommending Ryan. **★★★★★ — Mark Peters, March 2023** > Ryan and his team completed a project for us in 2022, a large deck extending from our house with a steel pergola, privacy screen and another separate deck for aour BBQ area. Ryan was professional, knowledgable and curtious, his workmanship was maticulous and communication throughout the project was excellent. He identified problems as they arose and offered various solutions, communicated where improvements could be made to reduce costs and delivered and excellent result. > > We are thrilled with the deck and pergola area and highly recommend Ryan to anyone who wants a professionally led project with maticulous craftmanship. **★★★★★ — Maureen, Jan. 2023** > In the fall of 2022, Final Touch Decks replaced our old deck with a new Azek PVC deck. The project was completed on time and with minimal disruption to our lives. The deck is gorgeous and is extremely sturdy. > Ryan was very easy to work with. He listened to our comments and responded in detail to our questions. Ryan and his team know what they are doing. Alain was a key team member and was also very easy to deal with. We are extremely pleased with the final results, and wholeheartedly recommend Final Touch for any deck project. **★★★★★ — avril, Jan. 2023** > Ryan and his team are consummate professionals .. we received a sturdy and well crafted deck in the matter of couple of days .. 10/10 would recommend **★★★★★ — Bruce O’Neill, Jan. 2023** > Ryan and his team did a fantastic job. The communication from the very first phone inquiry was timely and productive. Having the owner on site for the entire job is something that I did not expect and I am sure contributed to the timely finish to the job. > Final Touch exceeded my expectations and I would 100% recommend. **★★★★★ — Claudio Maddalena, Jan. 2023** > Great job by Ryan and his entire team. They were all professionals. Very courteous and friendly. I have had nothing but compliments from all the people passing by house. Ryan had given us some great design details and he is committed to excellence. The enhanced trim around the entire deck gives the home a major facelift. > > I'd recommend Final Touch to everyone. **★★★★★ — Suzanne Schnob, Nov. 2022** > Ryan and his team provided an excellent, professional and beautiful deck to fit our family's needs. They provided us updates on the work's progress and were quick to finish the job. They were exceptionally tidy and always pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend hiring Final Touch Decks & Fences. **★★★★★ — Gerda, Nov. 2022** > The product was beautiful. The crew ensured that the area was always cleaned up and safe for us to use, even in the middle of construction. Ryan made sure we were aware of any problems or potential delays and did his best to accommodate our wishes. All in all, a great crew and a great job. **★★★★★ — Derwyn, Nov. 2022** > Timely quote. Professional, knowledgeable commentary on product options. Competitive price. Flexible timing for the job, to meet customer requirements. Estimate of job length (5 days) was faster than others. Job took 5 days, as promised. Ryan worked side by side with his team. All conversations and interactions cordial and professional. I'm very satisfied. **★★★★★ — willa schwarz, Aug. 2022** > Ryan and his crew were great to work with. From designing the plans to the actual build along with the hiccups that arose, Ryan was able to address them all. Quality work and completed in the time frame that we were told it would be. > Great quality materials. I love my new PVC deck! **★★★★★ — peter sullivan, Aug. 2022** > Final Touch did an amazing job from start to finish! Recommended by a friend and we just went with them.

The team was very professional and did the work ahead of schedule. We are very pleased with the work that was done. Highly recommend Final Touch for all your deck and fence needs. **★★★★★ — Bruce Lawrence, June 2022** > We are delighted with our new composite deck.

The work site was kept neat and tidy, the guys were so helpful and friendly—all questions and concerns were quickly dealt with. The high quality of materials and expert workmanship produced a lovely finished product that is admired by all who see it. We are pleased to be able to recommend Final Touch Decks and Fences as a great company to deal with. Hanne and Bruce Lawrence **★★★★★ — Margaret, Jan. 2022** > We hired Ryan and his team to build a PVC deck. The price we were quoted was fair and what we ended up paying. Although there were a few delays due to staffing shortages, Ryan was transparent and profession and the slight delays were worth it. The craftsmanship and quality of our deck is excellent and exactly what we envisioned. His team worked quickly but never at the expense of quality and we would happily recommend Final Touch Decks and Fences as well as rehire them for future products. **★★★★★ — Lorraine and Michael Adams, Jan. 2022** > This young man is not only an expert builder, he is knowledgeable, takes pride and absolutely loves what he does. His workmanship is outstanding as well as his attention to detail. He is willing and takes the time to discuss options and work out ideas.

Another great quality about Ryan and his team is that they adhere to the schedule given..once > they start the job, they are there everyday until it is completed. We have received very many compliments on the quality of our new deck > from the many neighbours and people who walk by. We would like to thank Ryan and his team for the great experience in working with them and for the amazing deck that they built. We very highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — J Y, Dec. 2021** > Ryan and his crew did a fantastic job on our replacement deck. Ryan came to quote the job and was impressive from the start. He is an honest, straight forward, clear communicator. We discussed decking options and he was spot on with each question with both pricing an esthetic/quality points. We ended up replacing old composite decking with newer composite. Because it is a large deck we also went with technoposts for the foundation and its rock solid and beautiful (see pictures). Ryan let us know well ahead of time with respect to expected build dates. He drew up the paperwork for the city bylaw permits and had them in place well before starting. He and his crew were respectful to have on site. They cleaned up the space and kept it safe for the kids. Ryan at Final Touch Decks & Fences delivered a solid beautiful deck for our family to enjoy. We can't thank him and his team enough. We have no hesitation to highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — isabelle682, Dec. 2021** > We hired Ryan and his team to remove our old deck and replace it with a new AZEK PVC deck (Coastline and Dark Hickory). The work was completed in October 2021 in a very timely manner. The installation was a smooth operation that highlighted the professionalism and expertise of the crew. Ryan went above and beyond what we asked for and installed senior-friendly wider steps on the deck. We are very happy with our beautiful maintenance-free deck and everyone who visits is impressed with the look and the workmanship. We highly recommend Ryan and his team from Final Touch Decks and Fences for any similar projects you may be considering. **★★★★★ — Brandi, Oct. 2021** > Ryan was quick to answer my call and super friendly on the phone. He sent us a quote in a timely manner and got the job done efficiently. We’re super happy with our stairs and our dog and kids have a safe set of steps to get outside. I would highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — Aaron Mior, Oct. 2021** > Absolutely wonderful to work with. Excellent work and very professional. Accommodated all our requests. Everything was done on schedule and on budget. Thank you for making this an enjoyable process for us. **★★★★★ — judyanddan, Sept. 2021** > I found Ryan here on Houzz and was so impressed by the reviews. We hired Ryan to build a deck off a back cement porch. Just like all the reviews state, Ryan is truly a super communicator with his customers! He always picks up the phone or replies to your email immediately. He is so friendly, respectful and patient with his customers ( cause I had a million questions!). His whole crew of merry men are so friendly and professional. Ryan knows his products very well and we chose Timbertech for the decking in antique leather and picture framed with mocha. The design was a tad off the beaten path where the deck was not skirted to the ground and the stairs were open ( no risers to cover the stringers). Ryan was a bit surprised as this is not the “ normal” way to do this type of deck BUT he was very accommodating and again patient. Their workmanship on the deck they constructed for us was top notch! Just like the other reviewers said, delivered on time, on budget and excellent workmenship. We absolutely love this deck addition, we would 100% recommend Final Touch! Also a shout out to Andrew and Jacob for a nice job on the railings during the most insane heat! **★★★★★ — Terry, July 2021** > Highly recommended- very professional and great to deal with. This company delivers! The communication with Ryan is ongoing. They are flexible, open to suggestions and accommodating. The workmanship is outstanding, and long lasting quality. The products used by this company are cost effective and great quality- this deck is going to be long lasting and just what I wanted. All timeframes were met- and my property was clean from all debris when they were finished. Ryan and Alain- can't thank you enough! **★★★★★ — Loriann Joseph, July 2021** > We hired Ryan and his team to built a deck at our home in Manotick. I can honestly say that from our very first point of contact, Ryan was professional, knew the products and was exceptional to work with. We choose Timbertech and opted to mix three colors rather than simply having it be one color - the result is beautiful! We have receive a ton of compliments. We will definitely hire Ryan and the Final Touch team again and will recommend to everyone we know! **★★★★★ — Jane Clark, June 2021** > Ryan and his crew were fantastic. They were very professional and did an excellent job. > We are very happy with our new deck. > We would highly recommend Ryan and his crew. **★★★★★ — Colin, May 2021** > I hired Final Touch to build a PVC deck at my house. The project was completed on time, and the work was great quality. Very happy with everything. Ryan was extremely professional. **★★★★★ — Bonnie McQuaid, May 2021** > My updated picture of our deck by final touch. We love it so much and a great space for my family to enjoy. Ryan was terrific to work with and we’d hire him again for sure! **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > thank you so much for the review Bonnie, we appreciate that very much, i hope you guys enjoy the deck for many years to come. **★★★★★ — Bonnie McQuaid, May 2021** > This company is professional , hard working, dedicated, great craftsmanship and a tremendous final result! Our deck was completed in a very timely manner as well and the communication was excellent throughout the whole process **★★★★★ — Robert Jackson, May 2021** > Ryan and his crew did an excellent job on our new deck. The quality of the workmanship is perfect. They were on time and were a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend you hire them for your project. **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > thank you Bob for the kind words, i hope you enjoy your time on the deck this year. **★★★★★ — HU-197928741, April 2021** > We are very happy with the deck and we appreciate the hard work Ryan and his team put into it as well as all the extra stuff they did that was not in their purview. Ryan went above and beyond. **★★★★★ — janlandry, Feb. 2021** > We had an awesome experience with Ryan and his team for our deck project. We had a specific wood pattern in mind and Ryan created exactly what we had in mind. Not only was he a great listener, but he was able to offer us ideas and options to make sure we stay on budget while delivering the look and fell we wanted. In the weeks prior to our scheduled project, Ryan kept us apprised of his schedule and anticipated delays. In the end, there was no delay, Ryan and his team showed up on the exact same day we had planned for and they finished the job a full day ahead of schedule! > We highly recommend Ryan for his craftsmanship and his professionalism. We will not hesitate to book him again for our next project. Lastly, i HAVE TO mention how great red cedar smells when it rains. Even right now, in the dead of winter, every time we spend time in the hot tub we can smell it thru the air. **★★★★★ — Mathieu Vinette, Nov. 2020** > Ryan and his team did a great job on our two toned deck in October 2020. The weather wasn't cooperating, however Ryan was dedicated and came for a couple of hours on different days before the rain/snow started, to move our project forward. The deck is very functional, sturdy, and beautifully designed. The project was completed a little late in the year so I didn't have time to install the new BBQ I have planed for this amazing deck. Once the BBQ install is complete, I will post pictures to really showcase the deck and amazing BBQ enclosure Ryan built us. Thank you for the great work. **★★★★★ — Logan Larabie, Nov. 2020** > I had approached Final Touch to see if they could build a wheelchair accessible deck and boardwalk that not only helps in physio rehab therapy but serves as a emergency exit. The boardwalk would need to be built to surround half of my house and property leading into the driveway. The final result is amazing, not only was it built well within the promised time frame but the outcome is more then what I had asked for and well within the quoted budget. The way the ramps were built will be usable during all 12 months of the year and will be able to withstand all Canadian weather elements, the railings are great for support and physio therapy walking exercises. I would also like to thank Ryan and his crew for taking the time to adjust all the turning points throughout the boardwalk to enable a scooter or a hospital gurney more then enough room for turning radius. Not to mention both the deck and the boardwalk look amazing, and fit nicely into the elements of my property. > The fact that they kept the work area clean and very professional was appreciated but most amazing was how far Ryan was willing to go to be able to obtain PT lumber throughout this pandemic and PT lumber shortage inorder to stay within the budget and to complete the job within the time frame he set. > > Truly a pleasant experience and will recommend Final Touch to anyone I know, can't wait for the next project > > Logan Larabie **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > Such kind words Logan. Thank you so much for the great review and thank you very much for your business this year. > > Ryan. **★★★★★ — Catherine Lambie, Nov. 2020** > Ryan built a gate for us. It was a small project but Ryan and his assistance did a very professional job. Ryan offered tips on how to improve the design and look of the gate. We will definitely use Ryan for future projects. **★★★★★ — Andrew Prekob, Oct. 2020** > My wife and I hired final touch decks and fencing to complete a deck with enclosed storage .Ryan was knowledgable and offered great advice on our project. He and his staff were always on time and completed the job in three days. The outcome was fantastic we were so pleased with his professionalism, pricing and expertise as well as his meticulous Attention to detail. At the end of each day a complete cleanup was performed. With no hesitation I would rate his company as an A+ + Andrew. **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > Thanks for the kind words Andrew, and thank you very much for the referral to your two colleagues. **★★★★★ — Patricia Alcalde, Aug. 2020** > Ryan and his crew completed our large deck in just 4 days with skilled craftsmanship and professionalism. From beginning to end (from estimate, to permit application to completion) the entire process with Ryan was transparent and honest, delivering with quick turnarounds at every stage. He was here early every day and on site every day all day. Once he started our job he stuck with it until completion rather than leaving behind crew members to do the work on their own. His communication on site was prompt and courteous and we were always consulted on unforeseen issues before decisions were taken. Best experience we have had as homeowners with any company doing work on our home. Highly recommend if you want a stress free experience and value for your money. **★★★★★ — Lison Lemieux, Aug. 2020** > Ryan created the perfect backyard oasis platform. Our house does not have a patio door therefore Ryan created a two-level patio that provides the perfect amount of space and coziness (including a small landing to house the grill!). We had not enjoyed our yard since moving in, however; thanks to Ryan and his team, we are always enjoying the fresh air and rays! I would highly recommend Final Touch Decks and Fences: Ryan and his team were courteous, professional and efficient. The free estimate occurred on the same day I reached out and the deck was completed in two days, two weeks later. Ryan, thank you so much for providing a space that is both relaxing and peaceful. **★★★★★ — Samnang Lay, Aug. 2020** > Ryan and his team where professional, punctual, made our idea come to life. Great to work with, Ryan had given us a few options and we decide with the composite+PVC. The deck was a great value and we are very happy with our deck. I would highly recommend Final Touch for any deck needs. **★★★★★ — HU-76162599, July 2020** > Deck was completed on time and on quote given, no surprises! Quality job done well, fully recommend Final Touch Decks & Fences! **★★★★★ — CONRAD LAPENSEE, June 2020** > It took only three days to rebuilt my deck, 8ft by 20ft: removed the old deck in his trailer and took it to the garbage, installed a solid framing with crushed stone support, and installed a waterproof high quality PVC surface with a step all around. It was high quality work, no hassle and we had the very best communication with Ryan Cornel who was always in charge to give work to his two young assistants. My wife and I, we strongly recommend Final Touch for future projects. **★★★★★ — Drew McFarlane, May 2020** > Ryan and his crew were wonderful to deal with and very professional. Nothing but a positive experience from start to finish. They built a deck along the side of the house as well as a new fence along the front. Highly recommend, very happy with the finished product. **★★★★ — Dorothy Wood, May 2020** > Ryan is very personable and professional in his approach, also very helpful and able to listen to the needs of the client. He lets the client know if and when he will be available and alerts the client to any changes in schedule. His work is of excellent quality. **★★★★★ — Lampros S, May 2020** > This is the second time hiring Ryan, this time to put in a new composite deck and benches. As always, the work was fantastic and we could not be happier. Ryan is thorough, responsive and very good at his job. Will be hiring again next year for another project we have in mind! **★★★★★ — HU-316961421, May 2020** > Hired Ryan and his team to build a deck in our backyard and could not be happier with the results! Ryan loves what he does and it shows in his workmanship. He did exactly what was asked and his price was very competitive. I highly recommend Ryan. **★★★★★ — Stephen Kennedy, Jan. 2020** > Final Touch Decks and Fences were extremely professional on time and budget. Ryan did what he was contracted to do. His team replaced the back deck with pressure treated wood, rebuilt the privacy fence section with cedar (shown in the attached photos), and replaced the front porch, stairs and deck with a finished man made polyurethane board product. The workmanship was excellent. The neighbours are extremely happy with the fence. > > I would recommend him as these kinds of jobs are his area of expertise. I'm going to hire him to build the fence across the backyard as I know it will be done correctly. Ryan is a nice guy, a good tradesman and an honest broker. **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > thank you Stephen for the review, I hope you enjoy the back and front deck for many years to come. Thank you for allowing us to complete the fence too, well talk soon about the back fence. > > > Thanks > > > Ryan **★★★★★ — Lam, Sept. 2019** > Ryan and his team did a great job constructing my composite deck with aluminum rails. I was very impressed by his responsiveness, his prompt work schedule, and his proactive style in reaching out to ask my opinion. At each stage of the build, he would let me know asap if there were any concerns or decisions to make. His team was very knowledgeable, very friendly, and very professional. I would definitely recommend his company. **★★★★★ — owencharlie, Aug. 2019** > Ryan was able to design and build our custom deck flawlessly! We have had tons of compliments from family/friends and would gladly hire him for any future projects! We were impressed that he came when he promised and stayed at our project until completion....unlike some other experiences we’ve had in the past. Thanks Ryan for valuing us as clients and doing an amazing job! **★★★★★ — HU-613604731, July 2019** > Ryan and his team did an amazing job. Could not be happier with our new front porch and privacy screen and we’re looking forward to having a deck installed next year! **★★★★★ — Sheila Horton, July 2019** > Ryan and his team were an absolute pleasure to design our deck with we started out in March when you couldn't see the deck for the snow. We designed a privacy screen and the deck design, which came out wonderful. These guys were here working in the intense heat and one rain day. They had our deck ready in time for Canada Day with our family. They installed a lower pad with interlock stone and the deck is beautiful, we highly recommend these men for your project **★★★★★ — Karen O'Neill, May 2019** > Ryan built an upper red cedar deck for us and we are beyond pleased with the results! His ability and professionalism were top notch. The quality of the deck is excellent and I know it will last us for many, many years. We highly recommend Final Touch Decks & Fences for efficient and professional results! **★★★★★ — lloyd myers, May 2019** > I had Ryan Cornel, Final Touch Decks and Fences, design and build my deck. I got more and better than I ever expected from Ryan and Sam. They were very professional and thorough, it showed they love their work. No problem recommending this Company. **★★★★★ — HU-204995825, May 2019** > Did a great job with fence installation and 3 season deck. Ryan took the time necessary to go over all requirements and details. Looks great and always getting complements. Thanks for your hard work. **★★★★★ — kristendavies01, Feb. 2019** > We lost several fences during the big wind storm May 4, 2018. Due to the high volumes of claims, insurance was slow to respond. We decided to book Final Touch Decks & Fences regardless, as many companies were refusing work. I am so glad we did. Ryan and his team were quick with an estimate, and very professional. When we booked them, they were efficient, clean, reasonably priced (and could justify their costs), and friendly. Ryan even agreed to take on a few other small projects for us when time allowed. I highly recommend Final Touch Decks & Fences. **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > Thank you Kristen for giving me the opportunity to help you with your fence after it was partly destroyed by the wind storm. Thank you again for trusting me once more with your exterior window trim. ( I hope the color looks good ;) and thank you again for reaching out to me about your front railing and columns as your next potential project. I look forward to helping you with that and maybe one day the deck in the back :) > > Thanks > > Ryan **★★★★★ — HU-234445446, Feb. 2019** > Ryan is very professional and reliable. He is meticulous, precise, diligent and honest. He did my deck in the summer of 2017. He completed his work in a reasonable amount of time at a very affordable price. To be honest, I am known to be a fussy person but I was impressed with Ryan’s work. He is experienced and has strong attention to detail. Words are not enough to express my appreciation and satisfaction! Thank you Ryan for the good work and for your professionalism. Diana **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > Hey Diana, thank you for the nice review, you aren't fussy at all. You just know what you want and provide you with it ;) . I do appreciate that very much. I hope you enjoy the new deck and fence. Don't hesitate to contact me for anything else. > > Thanks > > Ryan **★★★★★ — Franky Castillo, Feb. 2019** > Ryan and his team did an excellent work on our fence and deck. From understanding our needs on site to planning, material selection to any custom piece and minor specs modifications; Ryan was there to help and get an excellent work done in time and budget. I would strongly recommend Ryan for any carpentry or outdoor job. **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > thank you very much Franky or your nice comments. It was a pleasure working for you, I am very glad we met thanks to Hiram. and thank you very much for referring me to Ingrid. **★★★★★ — HU-401667699, Jan. 2019** > We hired Ryan and his team to do a deck on our backyard. Ryan was always very professional, promptly replying to emails and following through any dates that he would commit to for estimates, re-estimates and the actual work. They started and finished on time, worked according to our agreement and the times we wanted to changes things mid-work they were always flexible and provided recommendations as to what was feasible and could still meet our expectations. We recommend them if you are looking for reliable, professional contractors that do quality work. **★★★★★ — HU-91826178, Jan. 2019** > Final Touch Decks and Fences came to my rescue after the Ottawa tornado in September 2018. The tornado took out my pool enclosure fence, so I was under a tight deadline imposed by the City to get it replaced quickly. After calling 7 fencing companies, only 3 managed to make it out to even quote the job as everyone was looking to get repairs done at the same time. > > Ryan was thorough in his quote, providing multiple options, and was able to fit the job into a busy schedule. The company responded to questions promptly, completed the work in the timeframe promised despite the challenges, and left the site cleaner than it was when they started. > > Ryan and his crew committed to meeting the restrictive timeline and erected a beautiful new cedar privacy fence, working around what ended up being every utility service line running along the old fence. A nightmare situation that was handled cautiously and expertly. And without the insurance company-gouging cost the other two companies quoted. Hoping to hire them again for some more work in the spring! **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > Thank you so much Allie for the great review ! I look forward to working with you again in the spring on your retaining wall. > > thanks > > Ryan **★★★★★ — Jane Barlow, Jan. 2019** > Great job and done within the time frame expected. Ryan paid attention to detail of decking and was willing to attend to our needs. **Comment from Final Touch Decks & Fences:** > thank you for you kind comment Jane, please don't hesitate to contact me in the future . It was my pleasure working for you. ## Selected projects - [Coastline with Wide trim and pvc lattice](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastline-with-wide-trim-and-pvc-lattice-pj-vj~7592889) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 6 - [Weathered Teak with English Walnut trim](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/weathered-teak-with-english-walnut-trim-pj-vj~7529997) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 16 - [Azek Coastline with Dark hickory trim and IRX railing system](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/azek-coastline-with-dark-hickory-trim-and-irx-railing-system-pj-vj~7130919) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 9 - [Azek PVC decking- Coastline & Dark Hickory with IRX railing and black lattice](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/azek-pvc-decking-coastline-and-dark-hickory-with-irx-railing-and-black-lattice-pj-vj~7130882) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 13 - Description: 3 Techno Metal Post helical piles holding up our pressure treated framing with G-tape to help protect the sub structure.
