Now reading some of these reviews and the completely unprofessional and immature manner in which the owner responds, I am not surprised by the behavior I experienced today.
While driving on I95 today, I was excessively tailgated by a white pickup. Mind you, I was driving 80 in the center lane, cars all around me. As I was unable to change lanes, said pickup decides to rapidly flash his high beams and get even closer to my car. Once possible, I slowed and merged into the right lane only to received a friendly middle finger from the driver of the pickup.
As he drove past, I saw “backyardworks

We searched local contractors to replace the lattice under our deck. Most said it was "too small a job". (Nothing small about it to us and we were willing to pay!). Backyard Works were the only company who agreed to do the work. We were replacing standard lattice with a vertical lattice so it did require a fair amount of framing, trimming and cutting. We signed a contract in July 2021 and were told due to COVID impacts, work backlog, materials shortage, etc., we shouldn't expect the work to be done until October, which was fine with us.
I called mid-October and was told they were

The meeting regarding the contracting and planning went well. The execution if the work was mediocre/poor at best. Took months to finish a deck and was problematic from the get go.

Positive: Professionalism
Ryan and his crew installed fencing around our property and we were pleased with the job! They did what they said they would do and the price was very fair! Ryan became a friend, and best part is he loves to fish! I personally wouldn’t use any other fence company.

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness
I’ve tried engaging them multiple times over the past 2 weeks to work on my fencing project - both by phone and many emails, yet no response. Very poor level of service with this company. Don’t wast your time as they have with mine.

We contracted in July 2020 for deck extension and pergola for new home. Expected construction to be complete BEFORE Christmas 2020. Late start due to so called unavailable materials and then lies about ability to complete with materials speced in contract. Finally finished in mid February and now refuse to return and fix small hole left in vinyl railing. Unprofessional in communication and Owner will not abide to change guaranteed by his sales manager in writing. Legal cost to recover greater than fixing it myself. Would NEVER USE THEM AGAIN..

I had a vinyl fence with a single top cross rail that broke almost a year ago. The company that installed the fence won’t give me the time of day. All other fence companies wouldn’t talk to me because it wasn’t their fence. Ryan was the only one who worked with me trying to get a replacement. I really appreciate his efforts.

Had a 30ft deck, and Vinyl fence done by this company. Took multiple different crews to complete the fence. Every time new crew came out to fix issues on the fence they were talking bad about the past crew that came out. Finally after the third crew it was completed to satisfaction, or at least to the best we could get out of them..
We had installed the composite deck boards which are very nice, and more expensive. The only issue i had was the little plugs they installed where screwed down the boards we had asked for a bag of them incase if any come out over the years (measly $20 bucks) Josh the

This is a stand-up company. I've found that there are a lot of shady contractors in this area due to the high number of retirees that live here and who are easy targets. BYW is not such a company! they were polite, professional, answered email inquiries even on a weekend and arrived on-time to do the job! The job was exactly as I was told by their advance-man "Heather" and their initial estimate came in almost $3K lower than their local competition! They did the whole fencing job in only 2.5 days and cleaned-up after themselves. Even my neighbors remarked on what a nice job they did! Highly recommended

Our experience with Backyard Works was terrific. The entire team - Sean, Bobbi, Heather, Mike & Brandon made the process from start to finish the best.

Our fence looks amazing!

We had several estimates, however I am glad we went with Backyard Works and I suggest you do the same. I highly recommend them

If possible, ask for Mike and Brandon for the fence install. These two guys were punctual, professional, and got the job done.

This review is basically based on first impression. I have been trying to contact Backyard Works for three days now. The third day was my last. There are plenty of others with great reviews. EVERY time I've called a recording comes on saying that I will be directed to a voicemail box that is FULL. Very frustrating. Bad first impression. Awful way to run a business.
