Everything was done on time, on budget and with the highest quality. Not only are the team nice people to work with, but they were knowledgeable and fair when when a problem was encountered on the project. They recommended a way to fix the unexpected issue, and did a great job. Kudos to OnDeck.

It is a pleasure to do business with On Deck. They recently replaced our basement ceiling and lighting and completely renovated our fireplace and hearth, adding wood cabinets and bookcases on each side and crafting a beautiful wooden mantel as well. They do excellent work and all involved are very professional, helpful and creative with suggestions and guidance. Their initial quote was on target, but they are fair with charges added for any additional work that might be added as a project progresses. They conferred with us about any decisions that came up along the way, and delivery of materials as well as removal of debris was prompt and efficient. Al, who completed most of our project, is a true craftsman who takes great pride in his work and attends to every detail. We feel fortunate to have had On Deck complete our recent home renovation projects.

We can't say enough good things about OnDeck. We worked with OnDeck to replace our aging cedar deck with a new TimberTech composite deck. From design and consultation through to completion of the construction we were extremely happy with the process. The OnDeck team was very efficient and we appreciated their expertise Everyone at OnDeck was a pleasure to work with. We are extremely happy with the end result and look forward to enjoying our deck for years to come. Thank you OnDeck team!

Outstanding group of people working here. In my particular case, they worked with the fallout that had happened with me and a previous contractor who purchased wood and bailed on the project. They were incredibly understanding and flexible with my needs and were able to provide us with a deck that's even better than we imagined. The crew was particularly respectful and kept the site clean. They showed up timely every day and gave me good progress updates as they went along. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Can't wait to include them in our future projects as the years continue.

OnDeck repaired damage to my back deck. They were thorough and fit me in before winter. I was updated so I knew when the project would begin and end. Some items were discontinued for the repairs and they handled it efficiently to keep the cost down. Very happy with the results!

We just finished our deck project with OnDeck and were super happy with the results. They really know how to work with the composite decking materials and can advise on the best solutions for your deck. We got several quotes and chose OnDeck due to their experience, full time employees and certified contractor for the materials we chose.

Phil, Sergio and all their guys were phenomenal. They turned a disaster of an old deck into a new and beautiful one. They were at the job almost every day until it was complete and the odd days that they couldn't be here, I knew about well ahead of time. We have a 800sq foot deck, which is not small. Because the prior ledger wasn't attached to the house, the footings sank and everything needed to be redone. They ripped out everything and redid it quicker than I thought it would be done. And they left the job clean everyday so that my kids and dog could still roam around the backyard exploring what they had completed for the day. I highly recommend OnDeck if you are looking to get work done.

On deck did an extensive deck build in conjunction with a full back yard outdoor space remodel we were having done. They worked great with the hardscape/landscape company handling that part of the project. They kept us informed and up to date thorough-out the entire project. The workers were always respectful of our neighbors, and were total professionals. On Deck gave us several design options, and we couldn't be happier with the results. I would use them again in a second and would recommend them whole heartedly.

I've done a lot of remodeling over the years with some very high end builders. But rarely have I seen the level of skill, conscientiousness, problem-solving capability, and follow-through that I've experienced with OnDeck. They re-decked two large wooden decks and a balcony with Azek composite decking, including some tricky repairs and custom upgrades. Their work is METICULOUS. It's mind-blowing. Hands down the best carpenters I've worked with in years. Plus they are some of the nicest, most laid-back guys you will ever meet. The owner and office personnel are pleasant, creative, buttoned-down and professional, and organized to a T. And their pricing is fair and reasonable. I'm a perfectionist and I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. You can believe all the great reviews! Hire OnDeck with confidence. They will be my go-to construction firm from now on.

OnDeck just finished building a new deck for my parents' house recently. They did such a great job. Our entire family has had such great things to say about their skill set, professionalism, and work ethic. Phil, Santo, and the entire group were friendly, professional, and more than willing to answer any questions that we had during this process. The deck is now sturdy and safe for our family to enjoy all summer long. We loved working with this company!

To say OnDeck did a project(s) would not fully describe the extent of the transformation of our home. We have a brand new kitchen, new master bath and 3 additional updated bathrooms. The results-amazing. The OnDeck staff are reliable, personable and have a can do attitude no matter what happens during the renovation process. Their customer service and promptness made a overall transformation bearable and do I dare say fun? I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a company that has been in business for a long time and stands behind their work. Do not be fooled by their name "deck" as I don't think there's much they are not able to do as evident by our home.

The OnDeck team is excellent. They are super-professional and courteous. They are also expert at their craft, both in the design phase and in the actual construction. Our project was complex, and like many others, involved some "hidden surprises" that would probably have stumped most of the other firms. But the OnDeck team handled those with ease, and never compromised on quality craftsmanship. We love our new deck... it has totally transformed our outside space. Thank you OnDeck team for our fantastic new deck!

I was referred to OnDeck by a neighbor as we were both looking for a reliable group to help us tackle separate deck projects. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience. From my initial site visit through the repeat trips back to the house before the project kickoff to ensure we were all on the same page, I've been incredibly impressed with my interaction with Phil, Santo and the team. They are responsive, timely, professional, incredibly knowledgeable and reliable. I was pleased to learn they do more than deck work as I would certainly consider using them for several other projects. From my experience and interaction with the OnDeck team, I would highly refer them to anyone looking to complete some house projects.
