Deck Builders in Old Lyme, CT

"The Cahoons are beyond excellent. Over 30 years they have helped us update, remodel, and (most recently) replace the siding. Our 45 year old home was poorly built, and that makes working on it tricky. Luke, Matt, and their team do not take the easy route - they rebuild the shoddy so it will last. When they ran into problems from the poor initial construction, they offered options for correcting it and made sure we understood the options. They have high standards, an incredible depth of knowledge of building, materials, and design. Every time I wake up to a snug home on a cold morning, easily open a window that used to stick, or gently shut the formerly unusable door, I am grateful to have been lucky enough to have had the work done by such. outsanding company. You cannot go wrong with Cahoon Building and Remodeling."

"Family Hearth and Patio replaced our deck and did an amazing job. The new deck looks great-- a huge improvement over our aging composite material deck. Paul, the owner, was responsive and worked with us to come up with a design. Their workmanship is excellent, the deck materials are high quality and the whole thing was carefully built. It was not cheap, but we felt it was worth it because the materials used and workmanship were high quality. They built it over the winter and the weather slowed things down a bit, so it took over a month. My main critique is that we did not have a formal design drawing beforehand, just some sketches, so some decisions (like exactly how to position the stairs) were made with our input as the project progressed. A formal drawing upfront would have been better. But in terms of the quality of the result, I don't think anyone could make a more solidly built, better looking deck."
