    Joe, I just wanted to thank you for a great job on the deck. Everyone who has seen it has marveled at how good it looks and how the deck is much better than those provided by your competitors. Please feel free to put one of your signs on our front lawn as I want to ensure you get the credit you deserve.

    Also feel free to use our deck as an example for prospective buyers of Down Home products. People can come over, walk in the backyard and even ring the doorbell if they have any questions. Thanks again.

    I recently had a deck built by Down Home Construction. The deck was built using Azek Brownstone decking material. Joe Hay, the owner, was personally on site to see to it that everything was set up according to his proposed plan.

    The work crew was very efficient and meticulous in their work. In spite of adverse weather conditions, the deck was completed on time. I am extremely pleased with the result and highly recommend Down Home Construction to anyone anticipating adding a deck to their property.

    Shortly after building our house, we contacted several construction companies for design ideas and quotes to assist us in building a cedar deck. After meeting with Joe Hay from Down Home Construction, we knew we found our builder. He was extremely professional and his design ideas, from a built-in fire pit to a gazebo, were original and unique. His team of workers was punctual throughout the entire process and the deck turned out better than we imagined. When we were ready to finish our basement, one company immediately came to mind. Mr. Hay’s design ideas for our basement were just as impressive as our deck. His suggestion to have the walls of the playroom only come up half-way so we could easily observe our children playing was great. Every parent who has walked into our basement has commented on the wonderful design. Again his team of skilled builders was dependable and professional, and they finished the project ahead of schedule.We would recommend Down Home Construction to anyone considering building a deck or finishing a basement.

    In August of 2007, we hired Down Home Construction to build our deck. After researching our options, we decided to go with them because of their quality of work. Not only do they do nice work but they were very opened minded and worked with us to suit our needs. The crew that did the job were very polite and arrived on the job when they said they would and finished on time.

    They cleaned the worksite up every day. They also didn't mind all of our questions we asked as they went along. We received several compliments from our neighbors on our new deck. We would recommend Down Home Construction to our friends as well as anyone else. We love sitting out there every chance we get!

    My wife and I received five estimates prior to selecting Down Home Construction to build our deck. Joe Hay was extremely helpful and creative when we were designing our dream deck. He gave us several options and listened to what was important in our layout. Joe and his team was able to build us a large deck with several option (lighted king posts, aluminum spindles, Trex decking and railing) and a custom staircase at an amazing price. Joe and his crew of master carpenters worked at a professional level from start to finish. The team did not overlook even the smallest detail. Our deck was completed in under five days and the finished product was better then we imagined. We would highly recommend Down Home Construction to our friends and family members without a second thought.

    Down Home Construction is one of the best deck builders in the area. First rate products and quality workmanship. They tore my old 8 x 12 deck out and had a complete rebuild in three days.

    I love my new deck! Down Home Construction was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Not only did they give me a competitive quote, but the design renderings allowed me to visualize the changes I was making to my existing deck. All details were covered including where the materials would be stored on my property. I can't say enough good things about the 2 man crew of Andy & Tyler. They were professional and pleasant. They communicated the overall work flow and we're flexible and accommodating when I got a last minute tree crew to do some work. Their craftsmanship is top notch and very tidy. I have already recommended them to friends.

    We hired Down Home to add steps to our back deck. They did a fantastic job! Matched the existing wood, were quick and professional.

    I couldn’t be happier with the deck built by Down Home! From start to finish, their team was professional, attentive to detail, and incredibly skilled. Joe listened carefully to what I wanted and made excellent recommendations that fit both my style and budget. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the materials used are high quality—our deck feels like a true extension of our home. The project was completed on time, and the crew kept the worksite clean throughout. We’ve already received so many compliments, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautifully crafted deck!

    Matt Passino

    Definitely recommend Joe and his team. He worked with our budget and was able to get our deck on the schedule and completed in a timely manner. Very professional and loved to support a local family owned business.

    I would highly recommend Down Home! My deck looks great, I am so happy with it! Joe was so helpful in planning it and the workers were very professional and cleaned up everything. Their price was very reasonable for such a great job!

    I highly recommend Down Home Construction (DHC) for all your deck needs! I had my 40-year-old wood decks resurfaced with Trex and they are simply gorgeous. Love the clean/minimal look of the black aluminum railing and the beautiful way they framed my new lattice. DHC was professional, easy to work with, and answered all of my questions along the way.

    Franny

    Master craftsmen at a competitive price. We could not be happier with our 2 new decks! John’s crew took all the time necessary to insure that every element in our new Trex decking and rail system was installed with care and precision. And it shows! We were hesitant to invest a large sum to resurface almost 1300 sq ft of deck. But the finished project is going to save me endless hours of toil in maintenance that I would dread each spring… cleaning and treating our old wood decks. Not to mention the beauty and value it should add to our home when we eventually sell. Thank you, Down Home Construction, for an outstanding experience!

    The salesman, Cesar, was friendly, and professional. He responded promptly to phone and email inquiries and provided a clear, detailed quote.

    The removal team did a great job. They removed the old deck quickly, without excessive noise or disturbance, and took away all the materials without leaving any debris. I didn't find a single nail or bracket lying around after they left.

    The construction crew also did a great job. They arrived promptly at 9am and finished the job by 5pm because they had a crew of five, all of whom worked constantly. They had great attention to detail, and the fit and finish of the deck is top notch. Like the removal team, they cleaned up all of the materials and debris, blew off the deck and put my grill and patio furniture back on the deck so that I had nothing to do after they left.

    I highly recommend Down Home for a deck replacement. They were professional and respected my property, and the finished product looks great. AAA+.

    My husband and I found Cesar and Down Home Construction at The Novi Home & Garden Show. After going over the design layout we knew we were choosing the right company to build our dream deck. The quality of the work was perfect and you can tell the team takes a lot of pride in their craftsmanship. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

    I just really appreciate the professionalism of this company. They were courteous, punctual, and quality driven. The deck they built for us was completed in the window of time they quoted and the work is simply spectacular. If I hear anyone talking about adding a deck to their home, I'm exclusively recommending Down Home Construction.

    Down Home Construction removed are old cedar deck and replaced with a new Trex deck. John and his crew worked very hard during the construction. They are very professional and responsive all questions and input. We are repeat customers and highly recommend them.
