Mike and his team at Michael Patrick Construction are AMAZING!! We LOVE our new deck! I can't imagine using anyone else for home upgrades in the future and cannot recommend them enough.From the very first call, Mike got back to me fast and set up a time for an estimate. He not only made recommendations to redo the entire frame, but actually showed me all the reasons why the previous frame was outside of code (another contractor said he could build on it no problem!). Additionally Mike's estimate was VERY reasonable and ITEMIZED showing every piece of the project and costs associated. That kind of transparency is not common and made us feel super comfortable.Mike never cut corners, he filed all the permits with the township timely, and once things were approved his team made really quick work of the project!The quality of the craftsmanship and materials is evident. These guys take pride in what they do!! Mike was also responsive to questions, open to suggestions, and all around a very easy to work with guy.We can't wait for spring this season and for many more to come! Thank you Mike, you guys rock!!

I hired MPC to build a new deck on my house, after we tore down an old dilapidated one.Overall, they did mediocre work for a low price and the result is exactly what you would expect. Towards the end of my project I decided to hire someone else to finish the job.On the plus side, they tried pretty hard to build me what I wanted, even though I did not hire an architect for this project, and I definitely should have. However, during the estimate process, they did not advise me to hire an architect, and then discouraged me from hiring one after construction began.Michael Patrick Construction cut corners on my project at every turn, and did not pay close enough attention to details. It took them 11 weeks to get the permit. Quite a few of my deck’s footings are poured below grade, so they fill with water whenever it rains. The posts are attached to the concrete footings with the wood-to-wood post bases (instead of wood-to-concrete, which has been standard on wood decks for 35 years now) so there’s no air gap between wood and concrete. In the long run, this will shorten the life of my deck posts, as they get absolutely soaked when it rains. There is no obvious reason that they were left this way, other than maybe they just ran out of concrete that day. The footings are not set on tubes, they simply dug holes, dumped concrete in them and filled those with water.The overall shape and location of the framed structure doesn't exactly match the plan, so corrections had to made during construction. On a few occasions, parts of the deck had to be re-framed. The stairs don't have a consistent rise, so they're slightly awkward to climb, and the rise is often low (although still within code tolerances).The decking and trim work is poor. Mitered joints don’t fit well, and angles aren’t tight. Even though there was no detailed architectural plan, MPC missed critical, common-sense details, like ensuring that the railing had a place to end. Some parts of the deck had to be framed a second time to account for these oversights. The decking is composite, and in many places, the unfinished cut ends of boards are visible. I was not consulted on the decision to trim this way. The stair trim is absolutely abysmal, and I'll be re-doing it with another contractor. Cuts aren't straight, and unfinished edges of the composite decking are visible everywhere. In addition, when using hidden fasteners, Trex decking is supposed to be cut flat and the ends butt together to allow the fasteners to hold. They cut the decking at an angle, so at almost every joint the fasteners don’t hold tight. To fix this they simply screwed the boards in — which defeats the purpose of the hidden fasteners. They also never plugged the holes.MPC ordered the wrong railings — or at least, the wrong ones were delivered — even though we had agreed on the specific product we wanted during the estimate. The one that showed up were a third of the price of the one in the original estimate, which seemed suspicious. They gave me multiple conflicting reasons about why they didn’t just get the railing I wanted, but I eventually insisted that they do that. By the time they went to order them -- four months after we had agreed on which ones would be used --we learned that stock had run out. All told, they spent 6 months on my project, and it is still not done.I would definitely not hire Michael Patrick Construction again, and I would not recommend them to anyone for any construction project at all. Although their price was very competitive, their work is extremely low quality, and they don't think ahead about details or consult or communicate well on decisions. The deck will wind up costing me about 30% more to finish then the original estimate, and I'll still be left with low quality framing and decking.UPDATE: because they didn't allow space for expansion, the deck boards are all starting to bulge. It will be difficult and expensive to fix.

5 out of 5 Stars!!!This group was fantastic! From coming out to a bare job site to the end of construction. Everyone from the project manager, Matt, Mike and Tyler the builders, and Mike the owner himself being on site. Everyone was easy to talk to and work with. Explaining the job as it progressed and what to expect next.In a time that it is hard to just find a builder I was VERY LUCKY to have met this group and get my job done by them.I had the stamped concrete done already but the rest of the build was all Michael Patrick, from design to finish!I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I would most definitely recommend Michael Patrick Construction for any type of construction work. From the time I first called them, I received an immediate response from Matt, who set up an appointment with me the next day to go over the job. It was an old deck running along the side of my house which needed to be totally replaced. He answered all my questions and I had a price within 2 days. The crew that did the work were awesome. Showed up everyday on time (most days earlier than scheduled time)! They were super professional, respectful and answered any questions I had. The new deck looks amazing. My neighbors could not believe the difference. I will be calling them for future work.

I would recommend Michael Patrick Construction over and over again! They helped make my house more my home with a brand new deck. We did not have a space to entertain out back and they came in and completely changed the vibe of our yard. They were quick to get it finished and it was gorgeous. If you want to level up your backyard definitely give Michael Patrick Construction a call.

If your looking for a great contractor, you won’t find a better company or nicer people. Mike came out to give us an estimate on a deck and exceeded our expectations with his knowledge and his ideas. Him and his crew were out on the job everyday till the deck was finished and was absolutely perfect. Ever since then I called him back 3 times for other contracting work around my house and every time goes way above and beyond. Will always recommend to anybody that needs work.

Sales rep came out to give me a price for a new deck. He was super knowledgeable and helpful with all the questions I had, and even was able to give me a great price. The team came and built the deck and it came out great. Team was professional, respectful, and completed the job with no issues or delays. 10/10 will be calling them for my next project.
