Better-Decks Plus Construction

Lyn Caldwell built our 16x32 deck with half being a screened in porch. The best way I could describe BDP Construction work is "it looks good from a far but it's far from good". They make mistakes along the way and instead of fixing them correctly they take the easiest and least likely to cut into profit method. Poor craftsmanship and mistakes are shimmed or filled with caulk. They have a general lack of attention to detail and are very careless while working. Our ceiling fan was wired incorrectly and fried the controller, had to file warranty claim and rewire myself. They ruined a $300 pool cover by blowing metal cuttings into our pool and created rust stains in the pool as well in doing so that I am still working to remove. Fortress steel framing was installed incorrectly per the manufacturer recommendation and had to go back and forth with Lyn for months to get that somewhat resolved. Just a small sampling of the headaches endured from dealing with BDP Construction. No apologies no admitting he was wrong no discounts whatsoever. Do yourself a favor and pay more for a quality contractor.

Lyn was part of the original construction of our lake house, which we bought with the basement with no dock and basement unfinished Over time he did both of those jobs and he a d his sons help us maintain our home Look forward to working with him in the future

We engaged Better-Decks Plus to finish our basement in a vacation home. The basement was approximately 2000 sf and included a bar area, family room, bedroom, bath, play area and a room that could be used as a media room. Lyn and his staff were very professional and provided an excellent product. Lyn was easy to work with and was accommodating to some minor changes. He went above expectations and we would hire him again for future projects.

LYn remodeled my kitchen, dining room area, new roof, new picture windows, new door and two bathrooms. I found LYn to be very honest with many super ideas on how to do the remodeling. I trusted LYn with keys to come and go as he needed. HE is excellent in picking out tiles, granite countertops and cabinets. I liked his taste in colors and materials. LYn takes pride in his work and stands by his work. I would recommend LYn to any one looking for a contractor who they could trust. SAndy

Lynn Caldwell remodeled a bathroom for me in my very old house. He basically had to take the room down to the studs and rebuild it. He did an excellent job. He is a skilled contractor.

I was extremely happy with better-decks plus. They traveled to a remote area in Fincastle, Virginia (my mom's house) and did quality work. I was impressed that they used screws. Most contractors will use a framing gun with nails because it is much quicker labor wise. They were also good about doing what they said they were going to do and showing up on time. It was also the dead of winter and very cold, but that did not slow them up. I would definitely use them again. I would be more than happy to take a call if they need a reference--they have my number.

I would highly recommend Better Decks Plus Construction. I hired them for a bathroom, kitchen remodel with some upgrades and renovation throughout the entire house. The quality of their work is superb, and their goal is to exceed your expectations on all levels. They went above and beyond to help us to get our renovation completed, with attention to every single fine detail of the work. The attached images show a before and after of our kitchen and bathroom. If you are looking for a honest, dependable, and talented team to do your construction project, this is the one for you!

Had a bedroom finished and hardwood floors installed in 3 rooms. Great work. Friendly, work completed in a timely manner, kept home clean throughout the job. Extremely happy with the results.

Very professional. On time. Met all contract agreements. Cleaned up after and followed up with me.Have recommended him to others.

I sale building materials for a family owned building supply and I have referred Better Decks Plus Construction to numerous customers. All of which that I am aware of have been greatly satisfied. Better Decks is one of few Trex certified installers in this area. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is shown in each of his deck projects, remodels, as well as the houses he has built in the past. The owner, Lynn Caldwell, is a good business man, husband, and a great role model for his two children who maybe aspired to follow in his foot steps. He has been a pleasure to do business with and a great contractor to send customers too.

1. Tore down leaking chimney and walled off that space. This job involved matching vinyl siding which was 20+ years old. He not only found a perfect match but replaced all siding on that wall so that it looked like it had ben there all along. He took time to exact match molding (on the inside wall) that needed added. He recommended dry walling to keep down the dust (I thought that was pretty considerate). The replacement outside stonework ( where the chimnney was) also looked like it was original to the house.

We have worked with Lyn on several of his projects. He is very easy to work with and very professional. He has very high standards for his work and has a lot of training and experience. The quality of his work is top-notch. He also cleans up after a job is done and takes great pride is his work. Any client of Lyn's is in very good hands and should take comfort in knowing their project will be done right.
