Architectural Exterior Design

My wife and I contracted AED to rebuild a large balcony on our second story using DecTec as the finished surface. The owner, Ryan Merritt, came to our home personally to review every detail of the original contract and answer any questions. Once the work began and the old balcony was ripped out, severe structural damage from water intrusion was found amongst other issues with the original construction. Ryan quickly got a structural engineer involved and we sat down and went over a change order to address the new, much larger scope. Ryan's communication through the entire project was great. He kept us up to date on work and any schedule conflicts or changes, which there were some with weather and the holidays. Ryan's team was great as well, including Oley and Dwayne that I was able to speak with routinely. The jobsite was cleaned everyday throughout the project and Ryan was quick to fix anything that his team or we noticed that was not perfect. We are extremely happy with our finished b

I have to update my review. Few days after installation of my new roof, shingles on one of the edges got raised upwards forming a large gap about 2 inch wide and a foot long. You can see there is nothing holding them down in that spot. No adhesive or nail or anything at all. I called and spoke to Ryan about this and got an instant push back from him. He didn't even look at the area but automatically assumed Its not their fault but my house fault. While replacement was going on no one once mentioned any troubles with that specific area. When I questioned it with him he said they didn't see there was a problem. And when I asked them to fix it they said I have to sign a service agreement for additional $250 for them to come and fix it as the roof is 100 % correct. I offered to send pictures of that shingles gap and he agreed. Once he received pictures where you can clearly see that large gap he continued blaming the house, the metal and everything else but the work they performed. Instead

I dealt with Dwayne. He was punctual (unlike other companies I got proposals from) and very professional. The whole proposal presentation was well prepared. They do give Military Discount. He returned all my phone calls in timely manner. The crew showed up on time, very polite. Roof was done by 1600 the same day. They made sure everything was cleaned up including any scuffs on siding. I was nothing but pleased with them. I would strongly recommend them to my friends based on my experience.
