JR came for a site visit and promptly sent an estimate for the work. He understood exactly what I described and provided an excellent picture with the estimate. JR started work on the day promised. He was on site each day with his crew and they were all very courteous and worked steadily each day. JR ensured all the work was properly permitted and inspected. The work area was left clean each day and at the end of the project. JR’s initial estimate was a firm bid and was exactly what I paid for the work. I love the new deck and would recommend JR to anyone thinking about this type work.

Description of work:
JR demolished and removed my old 12 by 36 foot deck. He replaced it with a beautiful 12 by 36 cedar deck. He added a partial cover which was about 12 by 24 feet. The underside of the cover was Hardy board and he arranged for an electrician to install two ceiling fans. He built steps on three sides.

His company did an outstanding job building it and picked up after themselves. JR helped us decide what kind of deck would best suit what we wanted to do with it and designed it with us ahead of time and gave us an accurate estimate.

It was done quickly and efficiently with excellent building materials. We decided we wanted more decking later and even though it was a small job, J.R. and his crew came right back out and got it done expeditiously.

Description of work:
J.R. s decks constructed decking in our back yard which was custom built to our specifications and fit in well with the previous work that was there.

The crew started on Monday morning and worked to remove the old deck. They moved forward on only minor delays due to rain. The project was very smooth and completed very professionally

Description of work:
JR and his crew removed an old deck that was inaccessible for my Mom and replaced it with beautiful cedar deck that allows my Mom to go outside by herself without worry of falling. They did a great job completing the work in a week. I would use JR and his crew again for additional work at my house.

JR showed up when he stated, performed the job as described and ensured the work was permitted through the city. The work was top notch and the end product was better than expected. I would recommend JR’s company to anyone in the market for a deck/patio.

If you enjoy dealing with a old fashioned craftsman, you will enjoy JR. He is the true professional. If he says he will call you back, he does. He calls, when he is coming over. It is, what he quotes. And his work looks really, really fine. I have seen why this gentleman’s company is rated “A”.

Description of work:
I had a sudden failure of a center 4″x6″ center post supporting two 16 foot 6″x6″ cross beams holding up my covered deck. Going out in the morning, with my coffee, all I could do was stare at a couple of thousand pounds of 16’x 26′ wooden roof covering smiling at me — sagging in the middle as the center post was for some reason disappearing from the bottom up. To Angie’s List — called Jose Reyna of J R’s Custom Decks and JR took it from there. JR, with help, immediately came to the house to jack up the cross beams to make the upper structure secure and safe. That allowed him to inspect below the deck (very tiny space — and JR isn’t) for the source of the failure. Problem identified a solution was proposed and a specific time was given for the costing of the repairs. All were done exactly as promised. The concrete footing under the center support was improperly applied. The center part of the deck would need to be removed and a new concrete laid and a larger post support would be inserted. The 6″x6″ cross beams would leveled also be reinforced. Since the rafters are 2″x6″ and the covering is rolled tar and there are under-hanging ceiling fans, structural reinforcement became center to JR’s remedy. His solutions are meant to last a long time.

This company was contracted based on reviews on Angie’s list. I contacted two other deck companies but neither was responsive in terms of providing an estimate. The owner of the company was the one who gave the estimate and provided the plans for the new deck. We decided to go with Cedar because of its durability although it was somewhat more costly. The crew showed up promptly and worked half days, due to the extreme heat. Nevertheless, they completed the job in approximately 3 days. Unfortunately, it rained during the weekend in the middle of the job which caused quite a bit of muddy mess at the end. Of course, is not the fault of the contractor or crew. In spite of this, they did their best to clean up afterwards and I was quite satisfied with the work. They left no debris, nails or scrap lumber lying around. I am very pleased with my new deck. I anticipate spending many an afternoon or evening enjoying it in the company of my family and friends. Now to get it stained and waterproofed.

Description of work:
Demolished and hauled off existing old deck. Built new deck in its place using treated lumber posts and Cedar for everything else.

Jose was very professional and called me within a day of receiving my first inquiry. He e-mailed a rendition immediately and it was exactly what we wanted….PLUS the price was unbelievably reasonable. He used top of the line red cedar (which smells so good) and he and another carpenter finished the job in just one long morning! We feel blessed to have found an honest and hardworking independent businessman in this day and age. We are just so pleased and the only thing wrong is that we didn’t do this years ago..!!

Description of work:
Jose designed and built a small pergola over a patio in the backyard. I found him here on angieslist and used the e-mail link provided. I also had a look at his website and saw many different pergolas along with good information. His website is very professional and informative and that was a big help! His excellent reviews are spot on!

We called to set up an estimate for a new deck to replace an old deck. JR was punctual from day 1. We were pleased with his proposal and after the signed agreement he set a start date and an end date. Each day his team were on time and worked efficiently. We are so pleased with the results. I would highly recommend JR Custon Decks. No matter whether the job is big or small people will get the best from highly trained people in construction.

Description of work:
We needed a new deck to be replaced. JR Custon Decks were highly recommended by Angie’s List. Mr. Jose Reyna helped to designed a deck to meet our needs and enhance our backyard. We were so impressed with the professionalism and creative design by this company.

JR is the consummate professional. He showed up when he said he would, was always prompt in returning phone calls, and his final price was exactly what he quoted to us. He drew up plans to our specifications, made recommendations to us that he thought would improve what we wanted, always gave us options about ways we could do things, but left the decisions to us. I am thrilled with the final product. It actually came out looking better than I thought. I had to call him back a couple of times for very minor things after the work was completed (and paid) and he was as responsive and courteous to these post job issues as when he was bidding the job. (And, I want to emphasize the post job issues were very minor–and issues that he had already addressed but I decided I wanted him to do something a little different.) Again, I want to emphasize how responsive and cordial JR was about meeting my overly perfectionistic requests. I would recommend him as an A+++ provider.

Description of work:
Jr. and his crew built a composite deck on the back of our house, half of which was screened in and the other half was covered by a cedar arbor.
