Highly recommend! We were trying to find someone to replace and remodel our deck. From my very first conversation with Jim it was obvious they care about their customers. The quoted price was competitive compared to other local companies and they really took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for.…

We worked with Outdoor Solutions recently to demo a deck built by a prior homeowner and install a new Trex deck. The guys on the job (Josh and John) did a great job, communicated well, were on schedule, picked up after themselves, and spent a lot of time with us reviewing plans and having us select materials. The…

The owner (Jim) is a very nice guy and great to deal with. I had a couple hiccups with the crew finalizing everything but Jim took care of it like a great business owner should. My wife, my daughter, and I really enjoyed going out to Jim's house to visit with him about the colors and material options. I would…
