What customers said about deck remodeling
Heilman Deck & Fence ExpertsWe have spent every evening outside on our patio since Andy and the team built it in July (it's now mid-September). Heilman Deck & Fence built a fantastic product, with quality materials, at a fair price, communicated clearly, and showed up every day to work until it was done. There is nothing more one can ask for…
West Coast DeckJameson and his staff did a great job. He was very communicative and checked on the job daily. His price was very reasonable given the scope of the work. I would use West Coast Decks again!
Outdoor Living Spaces NW - Eastsi…The Living Spaces NW team did a fantastic job building 2 large decks around my house. The whole process went smoothly from quote to final details. The team is professional, punctual and finished the job earlier than expected.
Heilman Deck & Fence ExpertsI highly recommend Heilman Deck and Fence. Andy and Amanda and the whole crew that worked on the house were fantastic. Communication was easy and the work done was incredible. We are very happy with our new deck!
Heilman Deck & Fence ExpertsVery pleased with our results and with the smoothness of the job overall. I appreciate Heilman accurately realizing my vision with minimal interaction required on my part.
Heilman Deck & Fence ExpertsCannot recommend Heilman Deck and Fence enough. They were fairly priced, got the job done on time, and were meticulous about quality. The craftsmanship was superb. And super easy to work with, everyone was friendly and kept me updated daily throughout the project. Also, little things like cleaning up the work…
