Areas Of Satisfaction - Timely completion of project, pricing transparency and knowledgeable insight

Talking to Charlie Crippen about a new deck was refreshing. Not your typical salesman. You don't get a low base price, then have to add on all the pieces you want. Charlie tells you what the total price will be and what it includes so there are no surprises at the end. We were comfortable doing business with him. The crew came out every day ready to work and, except for a lunch break, worked steadily until quitting time (or, for us, until the rain came almost every afternoon!). The whole process was pretty painless and the results are solid and beautiful.

I am very happy that I paid for my peace of mind.

This company was professional in all aspects. Charlie Crippen helped us think through options, was fair and a bit lower in price than other bids, and his team did a good job.

I thought the Best Picks ratings were too good to be true for Crippen Woodworks, but when I read several of the review comments, I was convinced that this was the company I wanted to work with. We could not be happier. Charlie and everyone on his team was a pleasure to work with. Their communication, care, and workmanship was first rate. Charlie listened to what we wanted, and with his expertise and willingness to entertain alternative design ideas, we now have a beautiful, low maintenance deck and usable space underneath to meet our needs for years to come.

Schedule

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - I cannot point out a single person to recognize. Everyone at Crippen Woodworks is very accessible, and they took ownership of the project. They all worked well together and are very "customercentric."

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Crippen Woodworks exceeded expectations when they built in some review days during the project. I had a couple of different ideas along the way. They really worked on them creatively. Some materials were not accessible; they even used a 3D printer. They made it happen. They allowed for changes. For example, I wanted the rail to accommodate string lights. They had to come up with extra-tall posts for this. They were able to customize and meet my request. They served the customer and the budget. The posts were double the height and worked with the rail system. It looks like it came straight out of the factory.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I have done a lot of projects, and Crippen Woodworks is my most favorite contractor. The ownership they took in the project was excellent. They understood my capabilities and made excellent suggestions. I was blown away by the finished project. My deck is probably now my most-used room in the house. We spend a lot of time there.
