Building Character LLC exceeded every expectation I had. From start to finish, they were professional, dependable, and genuinely invested in the quality of their work. Communication was clear and consistent, and every promise they made, they delivered on.
What stood out most was the pride they take in what they do. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and respect for my time and space were all exceptional. It’s rare to find a company that cares this much about the finished product and the customer experience.
If you’re looking for a team that shows up, does the job right, and treats you with honesty and respect, Building Character LLC is the one. I’d absolutely work with them again and recommend them without hesitation.

It’s been a solid 6 months since Building Character built the stunningly gorgeous deck that sits just outside my kitchen door. Our deck is so beautiful that everyone who sees it for the first time remarks not only on the beauty of the deck but also how well it is constructed. I had very specific parameters in mind for what I wanted in a deck. Of the 4 different contractors I contacted for a quote, only Building Character worked with me, instead of telling me what they thought I should have. From the sales rep that took my parameters and created 2 options to fit my budget, to the fantastic construction crew of Sean and Trendon and the build guidance from the project manager Tim, working with Building Character was a pleasure.

We initially met with Jennifer, the owner and she helped us select the colors for the deck flooring, railing and lattice. Building Character’s crew Josh and John arrived on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving 2024 along with Josh’s sidekick, Dozier. They dismantled the old 35 year wooden deck and carried all of the debris to their trailer. The building inspector arrived on Wednesday.
Josh and John started building the new deck on the Monday after Thanksgiving and finished on Thursday, the day of the final building inspection. We are so happy with the results. Josh and John worked in cold weather, but still paid attention to detail and finished in a timely manner. They cleaned up their work area before leaving the final time. Josh is due back on Monday to clean the entire deck. Thank you, Jennifer, Josh, John and of course, Dozier.

We searched for over a year to find the right biulder to create our deck and porch. We found Jared and Jennifer with Building Character and they transformed our blank patio into a beautifully designed and built deck and screened porch! Their work on the design made the deck blend beautifully with our house. Their crew was great---they worked to assure our our every need was met even though the weather was very uncooperative. Their level of attention to detail was wonderful -- even the most picky home owner (my wife) was ecstastic!! We would definitely recommend Building Character to anyone looking to build a deck or porch for their home. Thank you Jared, Jennifer, Tim, Josh, Rob (birthday boy) and Justin---it took a team to complete our dream and that's just what you all are---an excellent TEAM!!!

We needed a deck built to replace the one we removed as the old one had become unsafe. I called this company and Jared came out to give me a quote. We wanted a simple deck which he quickly sketched out and then showed me samples of materials. He got the quotes to me quickly for both a wood and a composite deck. We went with the composite. The crew that installed the deck was great! They were on time, everyday, and were always professional. They did a stellar job with the install. They cleaned up the work area when finished to the point that you would never know they had been there. We are so pleased with the results that we are having Jared quote us for a replacement fence.

Building Character LLC, as the name implies, is an above quality company! We contracted them to replace two decks and add a pergola. From the start, early communication was clear and covered all expectations of design. Construction and build was done in less than 3 weeks which include several rainout days. We took pictures and asked questions everyday. The crew was professional and always answered my questions without hesitation. Cleanup and final inspection went without a hitch. Everyone at Building Character are true professionals that know there craft and I would not hesitate to hire them again. I highly recommend them, they are worth every cent spent and will not disappoint!

I hired Building Character to replace my old deck with a brand new composite deck. The entire process from planning to execution could not have gone better. Jennifer helped us plan our project and was very easy to work with. When it came time to build our deck, Josh and his crew did excellent work and communicated daily on progress, while also being very flexible to making any needed adjustments on the fly. You can tell his crew takes pride in their work and the final product shows it! I'm very happy with my new deck and I highly recommend anyone looking to replace theirs give Building Character a call.

I hired Building Chatacter LLC to build a deck and pergola for my backyard to replace the old wooden deck. I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final touches, their team exceeded my expectations.
The design process was collaborative and smooth. They they really listened and provided expert suggestions to enhance the project. What really sold me was the fact that they provided a digital rendering of the design, so I could see it. Their craftsmanship on the deck is superb, and the pergola has transformed my outdoor space into a stunning, comfortable retreat.

This crew exceeded our expectations. At the end of the day they cleaned up the construction site and always maintained a professional attitude. They were also fun to work with, they always seemed cheerful. The work itself was done with craftsmanship. Our plans were good but needed to be modified which was done with great imagination. The supervisor, Josh Capps kept the project on target and provided helpful suggestions throughout the project. He also kept the costs within budget, even with the modifications. Tim Capps the project manager always kept us informed and was pure fun to deal with.

We are so excited with our new deck! Building Character is a great company to work with. From the initial estimate to the final inspection they have been exceptionally professional and attentive to our needs. The deck building crew was great! They tore down and built our new deck in just one week! You can tell that they really take pride in their work. Everything was done to perfection and they left the work site spotless.
I would highly recommend Building Character for your next project.

We hired Building Character LLC to strip our existing deck and add an addition on to it, expanding the length/width of our deck. The crew did an excellent job. They worked daily until the job was finished, despite having to work on several rainy days. The crew was professional, showed attention to detail, and cleaned up well once the job was completed. We plan on using them again in the spring to have them lay pavers and build and outdoor fire feature. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to upgrade their backyard.

Wow! We were super impressed from start to finish with our deck remodel project. Jared and Jennifer helped to redesign pieces of our deck and were patient with some changes we requested. They are professionals and the quality of our deck is fantastic. The install team that did the actual labor were also top-notch and professional. We added lights to the stairs and to some drop-down areas which was also a game changer.Highly recommend them and Building Character LLC . Great work!!!

From the beginning I was very impressed by the knowledge of decking options provided by Mike. My deck build was completed 2 months ahead of schedule by Tim and Josh’s crew. Their crew was very professional and cleaned my yard of deck debris after everyday on the site. Throughout the whole process their was good communication. Thank you Building Charter LLC for building such a beautiful deck for me. I would definitely build a deck through your company again!
~ Travis H
I had a very good experience with Building Character LLC from start to finish. They were very responsive, quick to come out and provide an estimate, started the project on time, and completed everything within budget. They replaced flooring and railings (with composite and aluminum) on my old deck, bumped out a portion of the deck adding new space, and put roofing over a portion of the deck. I couldn't be happier with the quality of work. I would gladly recommend them to others.

Building Character replaced our 30 year-old wooden deck that had several issues with a stunning new composite deck. From the design process which included a three dimensional video allowing us to visualize our new deck to the finished product, every aspect exceeded our expectations. The quality of work and the attention to details were very impressive. Our new deck is beautiful and exactly matches the initial 3D design. I would highly recommend Building Character to anyone needing a new deck.
~ Todd P
Fantastic work!! We were looking to replace our old wood deck that was starting to rot and to add a concrete patio to our backyard. There was great communication from the beginning, transparent quote and discussions around where money could be saved. Easy process to pick out materials and colors. The crew that came out to complete the work also had great communication when issues came up. Most importantly, the new deck and patio are beautifully done and just what we wanted.
~ Allison S
We worked with Building Character LLC on a new deck build for our home. They made everything easy, from tearing down and removing our old deck to designing and choosing materials for the new deck to managing the construction project. Everything was done on time and with clear communication, and the pricing was very fair. We even recommended Building Character to our friends who were looking for a new deck, and they had only good things to say about their experience.
~ Daniel A
I can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience with Building Character went. Front start to finish, everything was perfect. Dave and Dean did an excellent job from tearing down of the old deck to building of the new deck. Dave’s attention to detail, went well above our expectations.
Our deck is a piece of fine craftsmanship . We have received many compliments. Jared was very responsive to any questions or concerns. We love our new deck!
~ Jane S
I can’t say enough good things about this company. The owners are knowledgeable and the construction crew was amazing. They have a waitlist for a reason and it was totally worth the wait. The crew was always on time, always cleaned up after themselves, and was always respectful. We couldn't find another company that could come close to their pricing either. Building Character was an all around amazing company to work with!
~ Alexia L
Building Character replaced my deck 2 years ago. I was extremely pleased with the entire process from planning to the completion. This year I had them back out to construct a roof over the deck. It has transformed my house. I can hardly wait till the weather improves to sit out there and enjoy it. It was so refreshing to contract a company to perform work and they actually went above my expectations.

Jared Riddell and his crew repaired my near-to-collapse deck. The entire process was efficient and professional. All aspects of the transaction were performed on time and as scheduled. Now my deck is safe and the repair looks fantastic. They cleaned up all debris and hauled it away. You can hardly tell they were here EXCEPT: my deck is now safe and sound.
I would certainly hire them again. Triple A +
~ Jan L
Building character is an amazing contractor. From the sales process, through demo and new decking, the quality and service was first rate. Josh and the team were efficient, polite and very informative. They were very professional and cleaned up every day. Our new deck and railing look amazing and will last forever. I would strongly recommend Building Character and will use them again in the future if a need arises.
~ Rick H
Building Character did a great job building our two level deck on a very steep hill. The crew showed up consistently and Ray did a good job addressing any concerns we had along the way. The deck came with a one year warranty and they were good about coming back and fixing a few cosmetic issues that popped up. Overall, we are very happy with our deck!
~ Lisa S
Everyone involved was professional. Justin kept us up on the progress and what was going on. Justin was great. He is the worker that constructed the deck. He was very meticulous about making sure the deck was built correctly. It is well built and we will enjoy it for years to come. I would definitely recommend Building Character on any projects you need.
