After a renovation, our new deck did not pass inspection and Dexter did not address it until 2 years later. Since then, the shoddy materials Dexter selected for the deck without ever consulting the owner, have been falling apart. Smaller details such as missing soffits and weatherstripping also remain incomplete probably because our house was rushed so other jobs could be completed simultaneously. Outdoor outlet also exploded a year later. Not worth the money and I do not recommend.
