My wife and I could not be happier with our new deck. The crew were more than professional through the entire project. They stayed within budget and time frame quoted. We would recommend their services to anyone.

When we moved into our house fifteen years ago, we envisioned a porch on the front of our house, to sit and enjoy our neighborhood. After having a concrete patio installed, it was time to have the porch installed. It was finished today and it is everything we envisioned fifteen years ago, and so much more. Todd's design and communication about everything was outstanding. Ken and his crew did an awesome job! We are so glad that we contacted Garloff Carpentry.

It is with great pleasure that I submit comments to thank Todd, Ken, and the crew for an absolutely outstanding job in the construction of our new Trex deck. The entire experience was positive. The communication, the work ethic, the quality of construction, and the cleanup, was all first class. We are very pleased. The weather went from torrential downpour to extremely hot and humid. But the crew never complained. They were all very easy to talk to, and explained everything very thoroughly when I had a question. We couldn't be happier with the end result. A beautiful deck created by a superior team. Thank you.

Todd and his crew did a great job on our TREX ground-level replacement deck, from estimate to completion. We appreciated having a signed contract, CAD drawing, fair pricing and a lovely result to show for it. They removed the old deck material, installed footers, built the new deck and added flush perimeter lights. Work was prompt and well done. The crew ran into significant rocks which made the prep work tough going. Despite this, they finished on time at the contracted price. We feel quite comfortable recommending them, and would use them again.

I just had a deck built at my house and I have to say it exceeded any of my expectations. The deck was built in 3 days and even the building inspector agreed it would support multiple elephants with the way it was build. The quality of the craftsmanship was such a pleasure to see compared to the quality of other carpenters I have used in the past on other projects. I would recommended Garloff Carpentry to anyone for any project with pride. The team who constructed the deck were all professionals and after the job was done other than the finished project you would never know they were there.

Todd and team did a fantastic job with our deck. We only had a vague concept of what we wanted to start. Todd was able to take what we gave him and turn it in to helpful electronic rendering (so we could confirm) and then build it spot on. We love our new deck and look forward to spending a ton of time on it regardless of season. It is the centerpiece of our back yard and we couldn't be happier.

Todd Garloff and his team at Garloff Carpentry recently completed our new Trex deck, after tearing out the old, run down deck that was left by the home's previous owners. Todd was prompt with communications and when answering questions. He and his team were customer focused with a strong desire to have a satisfied customer at the end of the project. examples include: Offering design assistance and recommendations, handling permitting and inspections, and being accommodating to changes when they arose during the build. In addition, Todd and his team were able to work in conjunction with hardscaping work that was being done by another contractor beneath the deck. Todd's pricing was fair and the value received is excellent, as we are left with a very attractive, well built deck which we expect will provide us many years of pleasure. If I had one criticism, it's that our project started 4-5 weeks after Todd's estimated start time. I was so excited to get started that this was frustrating, but in the long run the few extra weeks were worth it for the quality and value of the finished product. I would use Garloff Carpentry again and would recommend them to others. Thanks to Todd, Ken and other team members.

Excellent, professional, honest, reliable are a few of the words to describe our experience with Todd Garloff! We had a deck installed this past summer and it is beautiful!

We couldn't be more happy and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a deck. We get tons of compliments on the deck and we are pleased to recommend him to anyone.

We absolutely love our new TREX curved deck, and so does everyone who has seen it. It's like walking out into a magazine picture. And working with the Garloff Carpentry team was a real pleasure.
From Todd's quick response to our call, his prompt and clear communications
to our endless questions, his design assistance and his outstanding crew, we couldn't have asked for more.
When we had a scheduling glitch, Todd graciously rescheduled the job.
Although we live farther away than most of his clients, he did not hesitate
to help us.
His skilled team, Ken, Bill, and Jimmy went above and beyond in the completion of the deck. After a long drive they were still at the site early, worked very long days but never hurried the job. They were always professional and friendly and, honestly, did their work as if it was for family.
Ken took Todd's clever suggestion for concave steps and placed them in the
perfect spot on the deck. And during construction, always took a moment to explain any questions we had.
Todd, Ken and his crew are not only true craftsmen, they actually care about their work.

We had a complete deck remodel. Todd was attentive to ideas we gave him but also gave us some great ideas to use on our deck. The crew was pleasant and hard working as the demo took only an hour. The rebuild was done in 3 days and I cannot express how beautiful it is!!! The lead carpenter designed a great solution to a built-in bench right outside the sliding door along the privacy wall. Love it!!!! Workers were willing to adjust their work schedule around other issues we had in back yard. Very impressed with the workmanship and the attention to details on the whole job and the clean up left everything spotless!!!! Will definitely use them again for any building/carpenter needs.

We decided on Todd for four main reasons 1) his prompt communcation 2) attention to detail and 3) track record 4) professionalism. Todd took time to answer my questions and make revisions at our request. He was patient and thorough. Todd offered suggestions and mentioned potential variables to consider that we were nothing thinking of in the planning process. Todd was not pushy which I appreciated. We felt his pricing was very fair. His computerized sketch was perfect. It allowed us to visualize the final product and he was able to show us revisions. The job was completed a day earlier than expected. The inspector was very impressed with the job. We are thrilled with the deck. Thank you Todd and your crew for doing a wonderful job.

Garloff Carpentry built a beautiful deck for us several years ago. When we needed new French doors installed in the rear of our house, we called Garloff. Todd came out and measured and told us what to look for when picking out our new doors. When our doors came in, Todd picked them up for us and his crew came as scheduled to install them. Just like when they built our deck, his crew was fast, friendly and efficient. They removed the old doors, installed the new doors, replaced all the trim and hardware and left both the inside and outside of the house cleaner then when they arrived. I'd would not hesitate to recommend Garloff Carpentry to my friends or family. They do a great job at a fair price.

We moved into a beautiful home that inexplicably left a spacious kitchen with sliding glass doors leading to four rickety wooden steps and a 6' X 8" concrete slab patio.
After speaking with multiple contractors and evaluating their proposals, we selected Garloff Carpentry, LLC to construct a screened-in porch and an adjacent deck. Todd was not low bidder of four proposals but he was more knowledgeable and experienced than the low bidder. His proposal was detailed and included professional renderings of the work to be done. Importantly, his pricing was vety fair.
We are extremely satisfied with the work that Todd and crew did have received many compliments on the quality and craftsmanship of the porch and deck. I highly recommend him. Following are personal observations of Todd and his crew which were quite pleasant:
- Materials and craftsmanship were of highest quality
- Communicated well throughout the project
- Obtained all approvals in complying with rigorous township codes/inspections
- Skilled crew that arrived on time and left the property clean before leaving
- Communicated well, was responsive and a pleasure to deal with
- Treated us with respect and appreciation

We just had our Trex composite deck installed by Garloff LLC. From the start, Todd was up front and knowledgeable of the product, how much material would be needed and time of completion. We would like to thank him for his wonderful workmanship and recommend him highly to all who wish to install a Trex deck. His work and team were extremely professional, highly knowledgeable as well as polite and systematic with all their work. After a full day of working, his team cleaned up and was very respectful of our property.
He is very conscientious of his customers' needs and is detailed of what is to be done, and when it will be completed. Trust is what you have when you find Todd to do your deck. Through all of his recommendations, we have a beautiful and professional end result. We really can't recommend him enough and would be happy to let other potential customers view his work.
Todd and his men were a breath of fresh air! Something you don't see often when hiring a contractor to do work in your home.
We just had our Trex composite deck installed by Garloff LLC. From the start, Todd was up front and knowledgeable of the product, how much material would be needed and time of completion. We would like to thank him for his wonderful workmanship and recommend him highly to all who wish to install a Trex deck. His work and team were extremely professional, highly knowledgeable as well as polite and systematic with all their work.

Where do I begin? After a really difficult time with a previous contractor, We were blessed enough to find Todd and Garloff Carpentry online. From the very beginning we were impressed with Todd and his promptness and his overall knowledge of what it was we were looking to accomplish. Todd quoted us a fair price for the concrete slab and decking and didn't feel that he was over charging us or trying to get over on us. The team was courteous and professional. They showed up everyday on time and cleaned up everyday when they left for the day. And even with the week of rain we had that slowed down the project a bit, our deck was fully completed within 2 and half days. I can't begin to tell you how grateful we are to have worked with Todd and his team. If your looking for a fair price and QUALITY WORKMANSHIP. Garloff Carpentry is the way to go.

Last summer Maryellen and I knew it was time to replace our second floor deck. We asked our friends for referrals and got several estimates from reputable contractors. While doing a plumbing estimate for an existing customer, I saw their recently completed deck. In my past life as a Building Inspector I got to see the good the bad and the ugly in the deck world. But I was was impressed with the quality of the workmanship by their contractor. I asked who did the work and listened to my customer sing his phases. They gave me Todd's card and I gave him a call. He got back to us promptly and was very professional in his presentation. His pricing was in the middle where it should have been. In my forty years of construction I've learned that low bidder in the construction trades is a slippery slope. I was not about to give up the quality of the the materials or the skill of the labor to complete my project. Todd was very patient while we made several color changes at the last minute. We were only replacing the decking and rails with Trex so when Todd called to tell me the support structure was shot I was prepared. Doing construction estimates for a living I found his additional pricing was right on target. Each morning his workers were on time and very polite. I stopped by during the construction and saw how good they really were. Three working days later they were done and we had a stunning deck. Now when company comes over, we say did you see our new deck. My construction buddies have been very impressed as they should be. Todd and his workers exceeded our expirations and gave us a quality project which has improved our home.

We chose Garloff Carpentry to install a replacement deck and railing system, using all Trex products. Because there were unique areas in the construction of the existing deck, special considerations were necessary to make the accommodations. This gave the Garloff team the chance to display professional skill and craftsmanship in engineering the end result to fully meet our satisfaction. The work proceeded on schedule, and the work space was cleaned and tidy when completed. Job well done. Garloff Carpentry provided the service and quality I required and I would recommend them - high grades all around.

Last fall Todd and his staff replaced our 17 year old professionally installed wooden deck with a larger wooden deck. Todd was wonderful from the moment he contacted us while he was on vacation, to let us know he would set up an estimate the following week, up through the completion of the project.
After receiving several estimates we knew immediately Garloff Carpentry was our choice for the project. Todd provided a professional estimate along with a drawing to show us how the finished product would look. Would you believe we received one estimate that was twice as much as Todd’s that was handwritten on notebook paper and the estimate was impossible to read!
The project was completed on schedule, even though we had several days of rain, and we couldn't be happier with the results! The larger deck was exactly what we had hoped for and the small changes that Todd made to the original deck layout were wonderful! This is an elevated deck and the staircase was modified so that the steps were no longer steep and difficult for some older family members to navigate. He also made the deck flush with our back door so that we no longer step down to walk out on the deck. Simple modifications that were a WOW factor for us!
We are in the market for another project in the near future and the only person we will call is Todd Garloff!

The crew started the work at the promised time, then worked straight through to get the whole job done in less than two weeks, which was pretty amazing considering the design.

They took down my old wooden, rotted deck and put up a TREK deck. All went well, no complaints. When trying to determine what colors, Todd was able to get us to the TREK website, so we could see how the colors went together. Good thing, because our original choice, would have been too dark. By varying the color, it looks beautiful. The crew was very professional, and what I noticed was that when it was all finished, not only did they clean the area, they washed down the deck so any mud (it did rain) was cleaned off of the deck. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a deck.
A+ - Pre-sale: Todd came out, explained our options, brought samples and we went to the web-site to further see how it would look, also explained the entire time-line for the work.
A+ - During construction - the crew were very professional, did their job, kept the site clean, and as I mentioned before, even washed the mud off.
A+ - After it was completed. I spoke with Todd, and asked if he had an idea on how to blend the siding into the deck and he offered to put some trim up to match the deck.
Well done, before, during and after.

Todd also scheduled the work to coincide with a landscaping project (retaining wall and pavers)under the deck.

A key element in the redesigning of our back yard was the addition of a deck. I contacted Todd via Angie's List, and he quickly came out to give us an estimate. Part of the deck would be supported by a section of an existing concrete slab, and the rest would need traditional footers. Todd determined that the L-shaped deck could best be constructed as two single decks, joined together, one 10' x 10' and the other 12' x 14'. Since it would rest in part on an existing concrete slab, it would not be a raised deck, and, therefore, no steps or railing would be required. On May 12, 2012, he came to the house to lay out the deck and to dig and pour the footers. On May 21, he and crew, despite pouring rain earlier in the morning, began work. Though it threatened to rain all day, the crew steadily and efficiently proceeded with the construction. They were personable -- we had a great time talking while they worked -- and professional. After the deck was finished, they cleaned up thoroughly, and even offered to do more; I refused that offer because I knew the coming rain would accomplish it. We are very pleased with our new deck, and we are glad we chose Todd to build it for us. (One reason was that Todd's estimate was SUBSTANTIALLY lower than the other two we got.) I heartily recommend Todd.

Even with the weather against them, the crew worked hard and were always pleasant and respectful.

Todd used his creativity to design steps that not only accomplish this, but that also make the deck special. The post cap lighting is a great addition.

I am very happy with my new deck and look forward to spending many hours on it.

We saw Todd's work at Ag Hall and called him to redo the front porch. He had some great ideas for our porch and was willing to make happen what was in our imagination. Todd and his crew were dedicated workers and worked long and hard to finish our porch despite the rainy weather. The result is just what we wanted and the craftsmanship is superb. We love it.

Wow, what a great job Garloff Carpentry did on our deck. They condtructed a beautiful deck to our specifications in just 3 days. We are very pleased and would recommend them to do any carpentry work for us or any of our friends and
relatives in the future. They were extrememly careful and left our home and yard spotless. Their attention to detail is tremendous.

We couldn't be happier with the quality of workmanship Todd and his crew have given us with our newly replaced deck: Totally professional, creative, efficient, and attentive to detail -- beyond any experience we've had with construction prior to this project. The deck, from beginning to completion, was as much a source of pride to the crew as it is to us. And we do look forward to using Garloff Cartentry for a few future projects! I would recommend them to anyone!

I called Todd to request a quote on a deck and he returned my call while I was still on the website, now that is promptness. He then gave me several quotes on different variations I wanted. Many other deck people did not follow up or design what I wanted. Todd was a pleasure to work with. His people were friendly and did the deck exactly the way I had requested and always asked if they had any questions. The deck is very sturdy, well built, and will last a lifetime. Thanks Todd, Ken, Adam, and all the guys for a job well done. I will recommend you to everyone. Jack

We never had a deck built before but we read all the books and knew exactly what we wanted....until we got an estimate from Todd. He made suggestions from his experience that we didn't get from the books (or other contractors)and we ended up with a deck that was vastly better than what we "knew" we wanted. His estimate was the final price, his crew was competent and friendly, and he stands behind and guarantees his work. Garloff Carpentry has our highest recommendation.

A fantastic job on our new deck. Todd and his crew were the consumate professionals, and their workmanship is beyond great (especially if you're a mitered corner fanatic like I am).
They showed up punctually every day, took virtually no breaks, and cleaned up the worksite at the end of each day. We highly recommend Todd and his company if you desire quality, workmanship, honesty, and integrity. He even designed a unique benching and storage concept for us that is the envy of the neighbors.
Many thanks, Todd, and we're looking to see where else on the property we could put another deck!!!

We requested several bids to remove an aging wooden deck and install a new Trex Transcend deck. Other builders came over and took a few quick measurements, then gave us an estimate to replace the old deck with a Trex deck of the same exact design. Todd came over and really looked over our existing set up and the whole deck/house/lower porch area, then discussed a number of possible improvements before submitting a design. His suggested improvements gave us a much sturdier design than the previous deck (and other bidders). Todd's design also freed up space on the porch beneath our deck, and by taking advantage of standard material lengths we were able to add about 50 extra square feet to the deck surface without purchasing any additional support materials. From the start it was clear to me that Todd was approaching the job as though it was *his* deck. He wasn't looking just to throw out a quick estimate, he was suggesting how to maximize our investment and build the best deck possible for what we wanted to spend.
Todd's crew was at our house at (or before) sunrise each day, and put in some long days. They do thoroughly professional work. Everything was well organized: materials, delivery, scheduling, permitting, inspections. Todd handles everything, I didn't have to make a single phone call, or fill out any paperwork.
Anyone who has done any kind of home improvement project knows that delays and cost overruns are the rule, not the exception. I'm happy to say that our new deck was the *first* project we've ever done that was completed on time and on budget.
I would recommend Todd and his team without hesitation. I believe if you go with them you will get the best possible deck for your investment. Thanks guys!

My husband and I did a lot of research and pre-planning and knew exactly what we wanted for the design and construction of our deck. Todd and his crew took those ideas and brought them to life!
The quality craftsmanship, attention to detail and professionalism of Todd and his crew resulted in an absolutely stunning deck. His experience and creativity provided us with great ideas for some small modifications. Part of our design included a Celtic knot inlay. Wow! He did an awesome job with that tricky detail.
We are more than happy to highly recommend Todd and his wonderful crew! You can be confident that the job is done right.

Todd and his crew did an amazing job delivering a beautiful deck for my townhouse.... I had several estimates before meeting Todd, but after speaking with him, my decision was made. He made it very easy to have exactly what I wanted. He did not try to talk me into anything that I did not want or need, but also knew when to give his professional opinion. Even with the weather against him, he delivered the completion of the deck when promised!! Todd also did a great job communicating the progress. The price was unbeatable and he also did all of the leg work himself such as the permit and setting up the inspections.
I would highly recommend Todd to anyone .. as a matter of fact, I will be calling on Todd for some other needs around the house as well !! Thanks Todd!

Todd and his super crew just finished our deck today and it is a work of art. When I walk on it, it seems like I am walking on granite. There is no vibration whatsoever. Two neighbors have already asked about it and a lot of drivers have slowed down so they could have a look at it.
We got Todd's name from our plumber, Jack Nonnemacher of Emmaus, a man of talent and impeccable honesty. Jack made a good choice for us.
Todd is a bear on detail. You can look all you want for errors. You won't find any.
I'm one of those guys who has been burnt by some contractors in the past. It's nice to put Todd on the "good guys" list along with Jack and a few others.
To repeat, it's a deck, a work of art, and a magnificent example of architectural design and strength of structure.

I ran into Todd at the home show in Allentown. I was looking to replace my deck that was around my above ground pool. When I was ready to get estimates, I contacted several builders, Todd being one. After Todd came for the estimate, a day or two later I received his proposal. I waited several weeks for the others to respond. Todd contacted me during this time inquiring about the estimate. The feeling I got was that he wanted the job where as the others seemed to care less. I am not sorry that I chose his company. They arrived on time to start and were done in 3 days. The work was meticulous. Todd over sees every detail of the construction. The crew he has are very pleasant and courteous. Afer completion the entire grounds were cleaned of any debris.
I would recommend Todd to anyone who is interested. He is competent,meticulous and very fair in his pricing. I requested several of his business cards so I could hand them out to whoever was interested

He did exactly what he said he was going to do, when he said he would do it, and in the time frame he tole me he would. He also secured the proper permits.
Todd pays attention to the details. Todd was one of many contractors that I had give me an estimate for the project. He is not the cheapest, nor is he the most expensive, but he was the one that left me with the most piece of mind. The styling that Todd uses is gorgeous. All my neighbors that almost never talk to me have stopped while walking to tell be what a beautiful porch we have. I have been passing out Todd's contact information to all neighbor's that are interested.
Once the project was underway I could see excellent progress. Todd was concerned that he did not hear from me while the building was happening. I was so happy with the way it was coming along, there was no need to talk to him until completion. I told him that silence was golden from me.
Would I use Todd again? YES! He will be refurbishing an existing, elevated back yard deck and adding a staircase to it. I am so confident in his abilities, I did not get estimates from others. Once again, he understood exactly what I wanted. I plan on having him give me an estimate for an above ground pool deck in the near future as well.
