Matt and Workhorse did a wonderful job planning and building my deck. I recommend Matt completely. He even did a few extra things that I did not ask for. He never missed a day and his help was just as good as he was.

Matt designed and built us a strong, gorgeous deck. He listened well, so we have exactly what we wanted. He researched the best way to secure the posts to preset piers, and made sure that our deck would function well for decades to come. Matt sent us photos and updates when we were out of town, and was here with his crew every workday until the job was done.
