Murphy Sundecks

I agree with most points made by the previous reviewer, but also had a similar experience with the company. The workers were friendly, but the construction process has taken nearly two weeks. The majority of the deck was completed in one day (prior to which the materials sat on our lawn for a couple of days). The crew is sporadic, shows up for an hour, here and there, and recently left the site between 2:30-3:00 PM, despite the good weather and uncompleted deck. We have had some rain over the course of the past week, but we have now had two sun-filled days in a row (three without rain) and we have not had ANYONE come to finish the deck, despite being told by the company that there was only a 'half-day's work' remaining. I would not use this company, as I have seen other complanies complete more intricate decks (i.e., with stairs, etc.) in my neighborhood in two days using identical materials and similar layouts. more

This project started out with a great design, designed by the sales rep. Then someone forgot to give the design to the builders - really. We ended up constantly directing the crew, often after mistakes were made. The crew didn't understand the importance of aesthetics. Where anlges were supposed to exist - they didn't. The lettering on the boards were made visable everwhere when it could have easily been hidden. Warped boards were installed. Lattice work was put on the wrong side of the deck. The crew could not understand English. One day, we found one of the crew doing work for our neighbor. We were never sure if they were going to show up or not. The acutal structure is good and appears to be solid. So we managed to get most everything right at the end and it does look good but we can't recommend this company. Pros: patio subcontractor Cons: lack of management, unreliable more
