WOW! Right from the beginning we were impressed with Steve's idea's and detailed explanations about how he builds decks. We had two quotes but he won hands down due to his knowledge & expertise. He outlined exactly what & how he would build our deck & came up with a unique staircase idea as our deck is over our single car garage. Steve even came up with a unique way of covering up ugly mistakes when the house was built. The cedar skirting closing in the deck stands out so well.
His team of 3, Paul, Ryan & Scott were always prompt & very courteous. They were precise in their work & cleaned up daily which was a wonderful experience.
Steve & his men made sure we were satisfied every step of the way & when we mentioned any little thing, it was taken care of immediately.
We were blown away with their level of expertise & the finished deck and will enjoy it for many years to come!
On Time! On Budget! Amazing Company - we give them our highest rating. Look no further!
Steve and crew did outstanding work for us which included the installation of a Cabana adjoining our pool.
Additionally Steve upgraded our deck to more reflect our changing priorities. He was very accommodating and willing to work with us.
Both structures and Steve's workmanship have received praise from our neighbours and friends.
He is highly recommended. A++
Steve and his crew were professional, creative and organized. They did a great job and stuck to the timelines.
The wood accent walls look amazing - exactly what I was looking for.
They also did a very good clean up job.
I would highly recommend them.
I interviewed many contractors and decided on Northwood based on Steve's knowlegde and expertise. The deck was built to precise specs and drawings as drawn by Steve. Steve and his team worked diligently each day until the project was completed. They were easy to deal with and they gladly explained their work (when asked) along the way. I would recommend and hire Northwood again without hesitation.
Steve and his crew have built us the deck we have been dreaming of and I can't speak too highly of the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that went in to building it.
Steve is a consummate professional and his son Dan, who is following in his footsteps, managed our project on a daily basis and did a lot of the skilled carpentry.
I approached several companies for quotes and Northwood Custom Decks was really the only company that took the time to prepare detailed drawings to ensure that the design would fit our small back yard without compromising my vision for the completed deck.
Steve also took the time to describe how they would do the work, down to the detail of the superior materials and design detail that would provide the finished product I was looking for. He even included a gate in the design of the top deck and changed the spacing of the railings to ensure my cats could not squeeze through them and escape!
His work crew were punctual, professional, courteous and very skilled at their work. Every last detail was measured and cut with precision. The men even took their boots off when working on the upper deck, to prevent getting mud from the site on our lovely cedar deck boards. I am thrilled with the results and would thoroughly recommend their work.
My only word of caution would be not to expect a complicated project to be finished "overnight". Steve was always very honest with me about the length of time it would take - our project started late in the year and we experienced delays due to heavy rain and some moving of resources between our project and another one, which he was also committed to finishing. His team always turned up when they said they would and worked some really long days to get us back on track when delays occurred.
I thoroughly recommend Steve and Northwood Custom Decks.
Steve and his team all did a great job. It was large tricky deck as there was a swim spa built into it, some great solutions for tough areas. The whole process was great from start to finish and would hands down recommend their services.
We initially called Steve to look at our old deck and perhaps repair/refurbish it. Since it was old and had some heaving from winter frost, we decided to replace the deck.
Steve was very helpful in every aspect of this project, including design, material choices and recommendations to make the deck stronger and more stable in our back yard which is mostly clay and heaves considerably every winter.
The quality of materials and construction is top notch. We love our new deck and it really improves the living space in our back yard.
Steve had some issues this summer that pushed our project timeline back a few times. That would be our only somewhat negative comment, although Steve kept us informed of his progress every step of the way, so we didn't have any unexpected surprises.
In an age of mediocrity and slipshod workmanship, it was a gratifying experience to find a company that really takes pride in its craftsmanship and delivers a quality product.
Ours was a complex deck with multi levels and required considerable talent and expertise. It needed custom cabinetry,pergolas,new staircases, and glass railings and lighting. After an extensive search for the right builder,we decided on Northwood Home Services and we were not disappointed. Through all stages of the project we found Steve New to be extremely knowledgable,exceedingly pleasant to deal with,and eager to please. Throughout the project any concerns or decisions that were necessary were dealt with efficiently and effectively. At all times communication lines were open and Steve was always available to answer any queries. The staff who assisted Steve in this project were personable,punctual, and competent. At all times through this lengthly project the job site was left tidy and everyone was respectful of the property. There were no surprise and all aspects of the original contract were fulfilled to our complete satisfaction. The end result was an outstanding structure that has received rave reviews from anyone who has seen it. Our sincere thanks to Steve New,Simon(head carpenter), and all the other staff for making this experience so rewarding and creating an outstanding deck that will be enjoyed by our family and host many memorable events for years to come. Well Done!!!!!
We had a 20x24 composite deck as well as a 12x12 cedar pergola built this Summer by Steve and his crew at Northwood and what an amazing job they did! It was a 3 week project and they spent the time making sure that every single thing was perfect. If you are looking for a quality job, I would highly recommend Northwood. They did the job on time and on budget as promised. We couldn't be happier with our project!

Warranty | In order to write down a warranty that would make anyone feel comfortable, there would have to be all kinds of disclaimers, including how wood naturally cracks and wears, etc. And then there is no faith left in the warranty. Instead, I prefer to say ... If there is anything that needs to be taken care of with my clients and their projects, and it's fair, I will always take care of it, period. |
