OJW Custom Fences And Decks

We contracted Wesley to build a fence in our backyard and we are extremely pleased with the results.

His professionalism and attention to detail is phenomenal! We felt very comfortable working with him, his communication skills are fantastic and would not hesitate to hire him again for our next project.

I’m very happy with my deck. OJW did a great job, great communication every step of the way.

We contracted Wesley of OJW Custom Decks to resurface our deck (old looking pressure-treated wood) and to replace the wood railings which were in terrible shape as identified in our home inspection. We couldn't even let our grand-daughter out on the deck. We chose to use composite decking and aluminium railings because we wanted a virtual no maintenance deck for the future.

Wesley was instrumental in the design of our deck. He proposed a number of very unique ideas with relative costing so that we could decide on which option to choose. Also, during the construction process he checked with us regularly to ensure that we were still comfortable with our chosen design and explained what he was doing. More importantly, he listened to us and patiently answered our questions.

During construction he kept us up to date verbally and by email with a daily summary of where he was and what was planned for the next day. Wesley's work ethic was extremely professional. Our deck is 15 feet above ground and can only be accessed from inside the house or by ladder. He was totally self-sufficient and did the entire job without once coming into the house. He carried every board up onto the deck by ladder (btw our deck is south-facing and it was HOT for most of the construction period). He was always at work when he had advised and cleaned up the work site every day. He did all the cutting in the back alley in order to not get composite dust in our garden and even then swept the alley at the end of each day.

One of the other key factors on why we chose Wesley (OJW) to build the deck was his approach to quality. After he stripped off the off the old decking and rails, Wesley strengthened the existing structure of the deck so that it would support the new design and that the rails would be bolted onto real structure and not attached flimsily as the previous rails had been. This impressed me very much and to know that the deck would be stronger and safer provides real peace of mind.

It was a real pleasure working with Wesley (OJW). He (as a small business owner) did all the work himself and was always accessible. He has a great sense of humour and as stated earlier his work ethic is faultless. Most importantly, the ultimate product turned out fantastic and in my opinion was extremely good value. I had considered buying the material and doing it myself but in hindsight I couldn't have come close to Wesley's deck nor in the time it took him.

We are so happy that we decided to choose him for the construction and not do it ourself! I would recommend Wesley (OJW) completely and I can assure you that you will be treated with respect, transparency and that the job will be built with quality as if he was building it for himself.

Wesley was great to deal with. He is friendly, professional and responded very quickly to any questions. He created a great design for my new deck and provided a quote promptly. The most impressive point is that Wesley developed a work schedule and timeline for the build that he committed too. I did not have to wait long from my first call to him to the finished product. I am very happy with the end result and would highly recommend Wesley for any job.

Wes is a very professional contractor. He regularly communicates with his clients to ensure the job gets done right. It's hard to find good contractors in this city, but we highly recommend OJW Custom Fences and Decks.
