Little People of America
We were honored to be asked if we could assist with a display project for the Little People of America organization and their annual gathering held in Baltimore, Maryland. I had no idea what a privilege this was until I started doing research to create size correct features for this project. Everything we constructed was designed to meet the requirements requested by the visitors of this event. It really was a blessing. The project was sponsored by Owens Corning Lumber, a very GREEN product, therefore, NO wood was used on this project. We opted to frame the project with their white 2x4s and fastened it together with Fastenmasters black headlok bolts. It made a bold contrast. We used their Weardeck Barefoot Decking in light gray and sand colors. The ramp was created for easier access and the matching white pergola feature with gray 6x6 support posts were also Owens Corning Lumber. We then created a custom photo wall with this year's annual Maryland Crab logo. To give event goers a place to sit we custom crafted lower benches and Adirondack style chairs (all to be given away at the event) that accommodated their unique physical stature. We also built some scaled down step stools that were an absolute hit. But the most powerful moment of the project came when a guest came running to and jumped into one of the chairs and started crying when she fit perfectly and said, "they were built specifically for us." Another gentleman, with tears in his eyes, mentioned to me that no one has ever taken the time to think it thru and build furniture specifically for his group. I will forever remember the look of gratitude my team and I received that day.

"First, let me get this out of the way. Neither I, nor anyone in our family, is in any way affiliated with Casey Fence & Deck. No one is related. No business connections. And we paid full price for work done.
Second, the negative reviewers either work for a competitor or have some sort of personal vendetta against life. Clearly, they enjoy being unhappy or want everyone to be as miserable as they.
On to the review.
Our existing pressure treated deck was over 20 years old. Boards were beginning to sag. It was out of square and out of code. And, honestly, at our age, we were tired of staining and painting every few years. Helpful tidbit: Even though products are advertised as 10 year, they really only last 2 to 3.
My wife and I made the decision to go with composite and began looking for decking companies.
After looking at a few, we just couldn't find anyone who stood out.
We found Casey Fence & Deck through 2 neighbors in our development, who had them replace existing decks. Both beautifully done.
We then spoke to Brendan at the Home Show two years ago at a local Community College. We set up an appointment and Brendan came out, took measurements and gave us a quote in a few days.
To say we were a little shocked at the price would be an understatement. We weren't prepared for the price of a half-decent used car. We definitely didn't want to take out a loan, so we told Brendan we needed time to beef up the savings account. All Brendan said was "No problem. Just call when you're ready." No sales pressure. No "this deal is only good for today." Not even a "your deck won't last until then." Simply call when you're ready. Now that is a business model I can get behind.
Fast forward to this year. When we called Brendan and told him we're finally ready, he remembered us. He came out, made sure we were still ok with the plans and gave us some samples from which to choose.
Once the contract was signed, the longest wait was for permits.
When the construction crew arrived, they were very courteous and professional. They arrived promptly by 7:30 each morning and were great at keeping us updated as things progressed. It’s obvious they offer decades of experience.
Now, all that’s well and good, but this deck is something else. Another reviewer put it succinctly: there are deck builders and there deck craftsmen. These are craftsmen and it’s obvious in the finished product.
It’s true you get what you pay for, and it is an investment. But it is well worth it.
We are so impressed with the entire experience. I’d give 10 stars if it were available" - David
