Project: Deck
Budget: circa $3600

Comments: "I was very surprised at how quickly the work was completed. It only took two or three days. Williamsburg sent two guys. They were very clean in their work, conscientious and meticulous. We had lattice added to the deck. Once the job had started, I realised that I didn't like the size I'd selected, so I asked whether they would change it for me -- and they did!

"Although it wasn't in the original quote, they threw in a gate to block the stairs, because we have a baby and they said it would be safer. I would recommend Williamsburg Woods & Garden to anybody. We're planning to have a pool installed and we'll get them back to extend the deck. They made us very happy."

Budget: circa $12000 ($16000 by the time of completion)

Comments: "I wanted to surprise my husband for his 40th birthday by having the deck built in our back garden. Initially the design was simpler, but I asked for extras, such as an extension around the pool, which is why the budget increased. Williamsburg finished the work within the week, in time for the surprise!

"The owner's son came over to see whether any of the boards needed replacing and that it was settling down okay after winter. I like that attention to detail and level of service. I am very happy, everybody loves our deck. I have already recommended the company to two other people."
