I cannot say enough great things about our whole experience with Chris and his team. From before we even put our pool in, Chris helped us plan and map out where the deck would go and our end result was far beyond our expectations and what we envisioned.

Upper Deck was by far the best! We used them to put in a composite deck and couldn’t be happier with the results! They were great to work with and super responsive. Chris was great helping us pick a design and educating us on what we should and shouldn’t do and why. I highly recommend them!

Chris and his team did a wonderful job on our deck and patio. My husband and I really appreciated how communication was always prompt, clear, honest, and upfront. We never felt surprised by cost or timelines, and when anything unexpected came up (discovery that our demo would take a little more time/small extra…

I'm so happy I called Chris at Upper Deck. He helped me redesign my deck with his fresh ideas and my new deck came out better than I could have imagined. I'm also happy I listened to Chris to use composite decking, aluminum rails, and lighting in the posts and stairs. It looks awesome at night! The communication…

Chris and his team did a phenomenal job! We couldn't be happier - you know its good work when everyone is asking who did your deck. From start to finish we were in constant contact with Chris and made aware of updates, changes and he was responsive to my questions, concerns and input. Again, couldn't be happier with…

I chose upper deck based on great reviews and competitive pricing. Best decision as the quality of construction is so superbly solid. The Carpenter, Mike, was so professional and knowledgeable. Then owner, Chris, I felt was very fair in his pricing and very professional as well. I HIGHLY recommend Upper Deck.

I got Chris’ info from a coworker who had his deck installed by UpperDeck and he was very happy with the result. I saw the pictures and called Chris for the job. We met with Chris several times to plan the project before jumping into it. I threw him a curveball in that I needed not only an addition to my existing…
