Kelley’s Construction

We asked for a deck and awning and Glenn built us «a deck and awning.» The workmanship is horrible if you look at the details. Without naming all the flaws and issues, I’ll name a few. First, It took 3x to pass building inspection for the awning and for some reason Glenn was getting irritated with us about not being able to meet the inspector’s basic criteria. Second, every single cut of wood is uneven — jagged and over cut (he cut every piece while holding the wood in one arm and cutting it with the other) — no miter saw and also had a chain saw with him for some reason. Not a single corner was done with the two pieces connecting at a 45 degree angle. Third, the screws he used for the whole deck were the same type and length — too short. In order to make them somewhat attach, he drilled them deep through each cedar board causing deep holes and splitting some of the pieces. When we asked about this issue, we were told that it’s the finisher’s responsibility to clean it up. Overall, we have a deck and Glenn was the cheapest out of the quotes that we received, but I would recommend paying a little extra to have quality work done. I will be replacing all the screws with longer screws, replacing all the trim pieces with ones that are not cracked and properly cut — as recommended to me by some professionals.
