Team was great, we have a large deck, start to finish was just over a week. They were delayed a day waiting on inspection, and showed up on a Saturday to make up for lost time. Deck turned out beautiful, would recommend!

The guys were on time and worked hard to complete the job as quickly as they could without compromising quality.

We had platinum decking put in our deck last February 2026. Pros: looks nice, quality material & deck is very good Cons: this is really where i have more to say, the communication was not there at all. One of their values was communication when we signed and we received -0. We were supposed to have a project manager and had 0 communication to the point where i had to reach out to other people. I had them showing up random times after the initial “2 week mark”, they forgot about our gate until i asked again, and never actually stated it was finished (they were hounding me on the check but werent stating it was finished and were surprised to find out it wasn't) Overall just really terrible communication and while i received an apology there was absolutely no solution to that. Not how a 5 star company should operate unfortunately.

With alot of people having bad experiences with contractors, not the case here. I was really impressed on how hard the crew worked and detailed oriented they were. Whenever I had a question, they answered it or fixed the problem. Thank you for a job well done!

David, Steven, Jeremy, and entire Platinum Decking crew have been fantastic to work with and gave us so much advice from early design consultation, CAD & 3D modeling, varying options (deck material, railing, dimensions, etc,) they utilize diamond pierce as a plus (vs skid steer and digging up new sod), and ultimately shifting to a TREX solution with the new SunComfortable technology saving additional dollars. Communicated better than any other of 3 folks we quoted decks on, best pricing, & customer service from cradle to grave. 10/10 recommend. Thank you for an amazing deck that matches the home awesome. We're excited to begin using it all summer with new furniture arriving soon.

To say that I’m excited about my new deck would be an understatement. From start to finish, Platinum Decking, made the process so simple. I had a great crew who clearly knew what they were doing. Hard workers, polite men, always answered any questions I had, and did a fantastic job in a short time. Glad I made the right decision by choosing Platimun Decking and would HIGHLY recommend them!
