Testimonials

  • Katie M.
    "Don McKeen at Underdeck Essentials took the time to carefully listen to my vision and created a beautiful underdeck space for our family to enjoy. We loved working with Don and highly recommend Underdeck Essentials! Don is the BEST!"

    "Based on the design and professionalism, I ended up signing the contract with Don. The project went precisely as planned, the construction materials used were top class and the end result was better than expected. I even got some suggestions from Don on not doing the underdecking on the 2 ft overhang as that might not add usable value and would cost 2-3K more. He ended up leaving stainless steel mesh with me and advised me on a DIY project to cover that area. Extremely happy with the end result."

    "Underdecking Essentials is great! I was impressed from the get-go with a quick response to our initial inquiry. Don met us on site and worked closely with us to design an inviting under deck space including LED lighting and outdoor ceiling fan. His guidance was integral in color matching the materials to our new home’s siding including finishing our deck fascia and wrapping our deck poles. The finished product took our freshly built home’s outdoor space to the next level. Quality craftsmanship, quick installation and great communication makes Underdecking Essentials your best bet to make your outdoor space come alive."
