Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality
Leisure Time Decks completed a deck remodeled project for us several years ago, and working with them was terrific. They provided input from design through the construction and helped us to make smart decisions. We are thrilled with the results of our outdoor space.

Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity
Joel and their whole team from Leisure Time Decks provided us the fulfillment of our dream of a deck that makes our own home the vacation spot we never want to leave. His superb work ethic, design talent and intuitive feel for his customers and the site helped create a finished place that continues to take our breath away every day. There are contractors and builders who do a job well. And then there are true craftsmen and artists in wood like Joel who go beyond your expectations and through their skill and creativity become your trusted friends who help you realize your own dreams. I am proud to recommend Joel as just such a friend.

Why can’t everybody be this good?
I really can’t say enough about the wonderful experience that I had working with Leisure Time Decks. From my initial call through every interaction I have had with them. They had been patient, understanding, attentive, thorough and truly a joy to work with. I have been planning on building a deck for five years and had extremely high expectations and a tight budget. I got estimates from 10 different companies before I made my decision, and couldn’t be happier that I choose LTD. I pride myself in trying to save money at every turn, so usually I will try to find a low-cost solution for all my needs, but this was a time I was compelled to pay a little bit more, because I was impressed with their approach to the estimate process. They called me out of the blue one day to see if I wanted to stop by to see a project they were working on, they sent me a 3D rendering of the deck, they called me back in a timely manner and never pressured me in any way. And for all that, the weren’t the lowest estimate, but hey surely weren’t the highest either.

I choose them because they seemed committed to going beyond code, and wanted to do the best job possible. They used 2 X 10’s instead of 2 X8’s like everybody else, the used 6 X 6’s instead of 4 X 4’s for the posts, they used a really beautiful rail system instead of the standard. They came on time. Finished the job at the speed of lightening and came back to fix any issues I perceived (large and small). Their crew is fast, clean, friendly and they take great pride in doing a job right. The quality of their work is exceptional and I know that I added a ton of value to my home by choosing the right company. They finished precisely on budget and did everything they said they would and so much more! Thank you John, Joel and your whole team! You guys did an OUTSTANDING job!!!

I often times laugh because I know I can be a pain as a client. I want everything perfect, but don’t want to spend any money. Most contractors will look at me like I am crazy or explain that I can’t have it all. John and Joel, did the exact opposite, they made me feel like my suggestions were good suggestions they listened, they gave sound explanations of what they were doing and they did exactly what they said they would time and time again.

* Pros: Excellent workmanship, exemplary follow through, fair price
* Cons: NONE

Beautiful craftsmanship on a custom-designed deck
Joel Harper/Leisure Time Decks and his crew did a wonderful job, and I am extremely pleased with their custom work. I wanted a deck that wrapped around my screened porch and back of the house, and after showing Joel my idea he provided me with a graphic blueprint that was exactly what I wanted. His quote was reasonably priced, and his crew arrived promptly and within 3 days it was done! Their craftsmanship is excellent – so thank you guys!
