He is committed to helping our clients improve their outdoor living spaces. John purchased JAM wood products LLC from his father in 2011. It was the business his father had founded in 1999, and John grew up manufacturing lawn furniture,gazebos and play sets with his father and siblings in their woodworking shop. A passion for outdoor living spaces along with a creative eye developed in the woodworking shop, compensated for his grade school education. His formative years were spent building in lieu of high school. CNC routers had greatly hampered their ability to remain competitive in the lawn furniture business so in 2015 John branched out into deck building under the name of Graber Outdoors. The Rest is History! ### Services Provided - Patio Construction - Deck Building - Pergola Construction - Porch Design & Construction - Patio Design - Deck Repair - Deck Design - Pool Deck Design & Construction - Gazebo Design & Construction - Balcony Design & Construction - Rooftop Deck Installation - Deck Lighting Installation ### Areas Served - Kansas City - Columbia - Independence - Parkville - Osage Beach - North Kansas City - Lake Ozark - Laurie - Lake Waukomis - Leawood - Platte Woods - Sunrise Beach - Oakwood - Gravois Mills - Oaks - Bagnell - River Bend - Edwardsville - Lenexa - Merriam - MIssion Hills - Mission Woods - Overland Park - Prairie Village - Roeland Park - Shawnee - Shawnee Mission ### Typical Job Cost $4,000 - 200,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Graber Outdoors | | Address | 7280 NW 87th Terrace Suite C-210, Kansas City, Missouri 64153, United States | | Phone | (816) 897-7518 | | Website | http://graberoutdoors.com/ | | Followers on Houzz | 12 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/graberoutdoorspage/ - Blog — www.graberoutdoors.com ## Offers 2018-22 Best Of Houzz Award Winner! ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Graber Outdoors](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/decks-patios-and-outdoor-enclosures/graber-outdoors-pfvwus-pf~883341053) - **Website:** http://graberoutdoors.com/ - **Phone:** (816) 897-7518 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Trex Pro Platnium Certified Installer - **Best of Houzz:** 7 awards (2018–2025), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 20 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 5.0 - Communication: 5.0 - Value: 5.0 ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Sue Hennessy, Nov. 2024** > We absolutely LOVE our new deck, that Delton and his crew of Tristan, Lavon and Damion did on our Mom’s Lake house. What a great group of guys, polite, courteous always on time. The workmanship was fantastic. They cleaned up the site each night, questions or concerns were address immediately. I would highly recommend Graber to anyone! **Comment from Graber Outdoors:** > Thank you, Sue, for the opportunity to work with you and help with your outdoor living space! **★★★★★ — HU-86023794920, Sept. 2022** > We fell in love with the design of our deck by Dave Herron (architect) but quickly realized this was a much larger and more complicated project than we ever could have imagined. Most decks are attachments to a home - ours is a home attached to a deck. We settled on GRABER OUTDOORS to build it and they did a FANTASTIC job. John Graber and his partner John Yoder were a pleasure to work with, honest, reliable and super professional workers that executed our dream. **★★★★★ — sdl21957, April 2021** > Graber Outdoors tore down our rotting wood deck and built a beautiful and safe deck with the Trex Elevation System (steel structure) and composite Trex flooring. The process from the time we first spoke with the owner, John Graber, to the finished product was made so easy and we actually enjoyed a renovation project! John is great to work with and really listens to what the homeowner is wanting to do and will make suggestions, if needed, to ensure the project is planned and completed within the expectations that have been set. John's crew are true craftsmen and wonderful to work with. Thank you to all of them for the awesome deck we have that will last longer than we will!!! **Comment from Graber Outdoors:** > Thank you for your kind words!We enjoyed the project... **★★★★★ — shirleygoode, March 2021** > We absolutely love the screened in porch and deck project John and his crew did for us last December. He and his crew came ready to work as a team everyday. There was no loud music, smoking, or profane language, just the hum of a well run machine. They finished our project even a few hours early despite the cold weather. They furnished a porta John and dumpster which were promptly removed by the last day. We can’t recommend then highly enough! Thank you John! **★★★★★ — HU-753195237, Dec. 2020** > Outstanding experience; excellent workmanship; impressive finished product. These reviews are worth repeating, but not unique. John has many such reviews from his customers. > > What is worth recognition is the fact that John went well beyond several extra miles to meet our evolving requests and to accommodate our ultimate change orders. His patience was remarkable and most appreciated. > > I would not let anyone else ever build a deck for us. **Comment from Graber Outdoors:** > Thank you!We enjoyed working with you guys and really appreciated your communication and teamwork. **★★★★★ — Jason Lynch, Dec. 2020** > John and his team were very professional. My previous deck had a lot of issues. John explained what the previous contractor did incorrectly and how he would do it differently to fix those issues. When issues were encountered during the rebuild, I was informed and provided with possible solutions so I could make informed decisions. The job site was maintained well and was left clean and orderly at the end of each day. I would definitely recommend Graber Outdoors for any decking project! **Comment from Graber Outdoors:** > Thank you Jason!We enjoyed working with you and will overlook the fact that your a Hawkeyes fan! **★★★★★ — Sandy B, Jan. 2020** > Graber Outdoors recently built a beautiful covered front porch for us & I can’t believe how much better it made the house look! John’s suggestions were great & he was so helpful to get just the right look for the house. I highly recommend Graber Outdoors for any deck/porch needs...in fact, they will be working on another project for us this Spring! **Comment from Graber Outdoors:** > Thank you Sandy! It was very rewarding working in unison with you create a beautiful home front! **★★★★★ — Wendy Borders, Jan. 2020** > Graber Outdoors provided me with local clients who were willing to allow me to look at their work. Those clients sang their praises, and the decks I saw were gorgeous and had beautiful detail and quality. When my project was booked to begin, Graber Outdoors were right on time and had the necessary support equipment to keep the project uncluttered and progressing. I am very pleased with the new wrap-around Trex porch and the quality of the vinyl railings and posts used on my project. I also appreciate that they will check back with me in a few months to see if there are any problems- who does that? This outfit is top drawer! **Comment from Graber Outdoors:** > Thank you Wendy! You and Jeff were a pleasure to work with and we look forward to continuing the relationship. **★★★★★ — HU-63001952, Dec. 2019** > John is a very fair and ccontientios professional. He bid the job correctly, he and his crew completed the job on time and the quality of work was fantastic. John and I became good friends during the process but dont expect that, however, he is a very kind soul. **★★★★★ — HU-840883044, Nov. 2019** > A great bunch of guys. Built us a good strong deck from the underground support to the top of the railings. Even found siding trim to match our house to tie in where the old deck was at a different height. They were very accommodating to any changes we wanted to make. Turned out to be something we will enjoy for many years. Thanks Graber Outdoors! **Comment from Graber Outdoors:** > Thank you for the review ,David and Paige.we enjoyed getting to know you and will you see you in the spring for our 90 day checkup. **★★★★★ — Carol Faucher, Nov. 2019** > Graber Outdoor provided complete front and back decks including 2 sets of stairs, railing and lighting. > > John and his crew were extremely professional - arrived early, worked diligently as a team and knew their business. John asked us questions to clarify our choices as needed. Their work was beautiful - very well done and they kept their work space completely tidy and clean > > We highly recommend Graber Outdoors for deck projects. The results we received surpassed our expectations. Plus, John and his crew are hard workers and thoughtful and kind people. We would love to do business with them again and hope others use their services - they won’t regret it!!! **Comment from Graber Outdoors:** > Thank you for your review! We really enjoyed our time spent with you guys and look forward to continuing the relationship. **★★★★★ — HU-464915456, Feb. 2019** > We contacted John from Graber Outdoors after seeing his work on 2 different relatives’ projects. We talked to 3 other deck builders and there was no comparison, John really knew his stuff and we were immediately comfortable with his explanations and ideas. His pricing fit our budget and he kept his word the whole way through. No surprise add on charges. We wanted to replace our existing deck with something bigger and re-designed. He had great ideas we hadn’t thought of and it turned out beautifully. His crew was professional and very hard workers that did an outstanding job and cleaned up after themselves. Can’t say enough nice things about these guys. If you want it done right and at a reasonable price for quality craftsmanship, these are the guys for you. Just waiting for some warmer weather so we can enjoy the fruits of their labors! Very rarely do I do reviews, but they deserve it!! ## Selected projects - [Miller Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miller-residence-pj-vj~7332789) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Cate Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cate-residence-pj-vj~7104739) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Bellchamber Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bellchamber-residence-pj-vj~7105692) - Location: Holt, MO - Photos: 10 - [Butler Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/butler-residence-pj-vj~7332787) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Reed Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reed-residence-pj-vj~7105676) - Location: Olathe, KS - Photos: 9 - [Rollins Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rollins-residence-pj-vj~7332794) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Tiefel Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tiefel-residence-pj-vj~7332792) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Eve Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eve-residence-pj-vj~7105669) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Maples Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maples-residence-pj-vj~7332799) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Dotson Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dotson-residence-pj-vj~7105968) - Location: Liberty, MO - Photos: 10 - [McCollum Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mccollum-residence-pj-vj~5588876) - Location: Gallatin, MO - Photos: 4 - Description: Trex select flooring in Winchester grey and Pebble grey.
