We hired Rain City Decks to repair our top deck and stair landing after receiving a quote for $7,000. We paid the required $3,500 deposit in March, with the understanding that work would begin in May. Instead, the project did not start until June 2.
Shortly after work began, we were told there were additional rotten areas that would require extra work and additional charges. In our opinion, these areas were visible and should have been identified during the initial inspection rather than becoming costly change orders after the project was underway.
To make matters worse, we received an invoice dated June 12 showing our account as overdue even though the project had not been completed. We found this completely unacceptable.
The workmanship also fell below our expectations. The job site was left unclean, and the crew had to return for another full day to correct numerous deficiencies that should have been addressed the first time.
During the project, the crew put two holes in the exterior of our house to support a tarp. While we were given $100 for the damage, we did not feel this adequately addressed the issue.
In the end, we reluctantly paid the final invoice because we wanted the project finished, not because we were satisfied with the experience. From the delayed start, poor project planning, unexpected additional costs, premature invoicing, cleanup issues, property damage, and the need to return to fix workmanship problems, this was not the level of service we expected from a professional contractor.
We have another 400-square-foot deck project planned, but based on this experience, Rain City Decks will not be getting our business again. We cannot recommend them based on our experience.
