I used James from Accent Decks just this past September and let me tell you the deck he built is fabulous. Not only did James patiently explain the various types of building material that could be used for the deck but he also dropped off material for us to look at and met with us at his shop so we could see how it stood up under direct sun.



James also took my basic design of what I wanted and then asked if he could improve upon them. He did and I'm very glad. He turned my original boxy concept in to something more interesting to look at. He was flexible and allowed me to comment, intervene and be part of the process.



Part of my project was also incorporating a shed underneath the deck (our house is on a sloped lot and I needed more space for our gardening equipment) and James took the time to help me understand the design he had in mind. He also offered ways to limit the cost of construction of not only the shed but also the deck itself resulting in my saving thousands of dollars off 2 other competitor bids.



James' company was hit during the economic downturn he had to lay off his staff. Now that the economy is back on the upswing, he's adding crew and his work is indeed booming. Yes, you may have to also be patient because he can get busy, but if you are patient, James will work with you and will produce a quality product. He's also an honest guy, extremely polite, never pushy and has a hugely loyal customer base here in the neighborhood.



We live in Belterra along Hwy 290 at the corner of MIrafield and Merion. James has done most of the decks for the houses on Mirafield btw but you can clearly see the work he did for us easily from the street as you drive past the house.



James was great to work with and I won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. In addition, the crew working for him, Shilo & Art, were first-rate. They were polite and always stopped to have a friendly chat and then policed the construction site every late afternoon when they were done.



Thank you James and crew for what I have to say was a very pleasant experience.
