4 years ago this company built our deck. This summer we had to tear it down and replace it. They had built the stairs over our fireplace vent (despite us questioning if that was ok) and the step was severely charred. Their solution - cut a hole in the step to let the heat out.

Also, the concrete for the pilings was not mixed properly and they started crumbling. They told me that was normal because of our weather. Their solution this time - jam something under the deck to replace the crumbling parts. The deck sunk at least 2 inches in 4 years!!

It's so bad, that it was featured on Global's trouble shooter segment. http://globalnews.ca/video/724691/deck-hazard

I had 4 contractors look at my deck and all of them came to the conclusion that it would be cheaper to demolish the deck and start over than it would be to fix everything that was wrong with it (it's a long list). Learn from my mistake and don't use this company. Please!
