Graber Outdoors

We fell in love with the design of our deck by Dave Herron (architect) but quickly realized this was a much larger and more complicated project than we ever could have imagined. Most decks are attachments to a home - ours is a home attached to a deck. We settled on GRABER OUTDOORS to build it and they did a FANTASTIC job. John Graber and his partner John Yoder were a pleasure to work with, honest, reliable and super professional workers that executed our dream.

Graber Outdoors tore down our rotting wood deck and built a beautiful and safe deck with the Trex Elevation System (steel structure) and composite Trex flooring. The process from the time we first spoke with the owner, John Graber, to the finished product was made so easy and we actually enjoyed a renovation project! John is great to work with and really listens to what the homeowner is wanting to do and will make suggestions, if needed, to ensure the project is planned and completed within the expectations that have been set. John's crew are true craftsmen and wonderful to work with. Thank you to all of them for the awesome deck we have that will last longer than we will!!!

We absolutely love the screened in porch and deck project John and his crew did for us last December. He and his crew came ready to work as a team everyday. There was no loud music, smoking, or profane language, just the hum of a well run machine. They finished our project even a few hours early despite the cold weather. They furnished a porta John and dumpster which were promptly removed by the last day. We can’t recommend then highly enough! Thank you John!

Outstanding experience; excellent workmanship; impressive finished product. These reviews are worth repeating, but not unique. John has many such reviews from his customers. What is worth recognition is the fact that John went well beyond several extra miles to meet our evolving requests and to accommodate our ultimate change orders. His patience was remarkable and most appreciated. I would not let anyone else ever build a deck for us.

John and his team were very professional. My previous deck had a lot of issues. John explained what the previous contractor did incorrectly and how he would do it differently to fix those issues. When issues were encountered during the rebuild, I was informed and provided with possible solutions so I could make informed decisions. The job site was maintained well and was left clean and orderly at the end of each day. I would definitely recommend Graber Outdoors for any decking project!

Graber Outdoors recently built a beautiful covered front porch for us & I can’t believe how much better it made the house look! John’s suggestions were great & he was so helpful to get just the right look for the house. I highly recommend Graber Outdoors for any deck/porch needs...in fact, they will be working on another project for us this Spring!

Graber Outdoors provided me with local clients who were willing to allow me to look at their work. Those clients sang their praises, and the decks I saw were gorgeous and had beautiful detail and quality. When my project was booked to begin, Graber Outdoors were right on time and had the necessary support equipment to keep the project uncluttered and progressing. I am very pleased with the new wrap-around Trex porch and the quality of the vinyl railings and posts used on my project. I also appreciate that they will check back with me in a few months to see if there are any problems- who does that? This outfit is top drawer!

John is a very fair and ccontientios professional. He bid the job correctly, he and his crew completed the job on time and the quality of work was fantastic. John and I became good friends during the process but dont expect that, however, he is a very kind soul.

A great bunch of guys. Built us a good strong deck from the underground support to the top of the railings. Even found siding trim to match our house to tie in where the old deck was at a different height. They were very accommodating to any changes we wanted to make. Turned out to be something we will enjoy for many years. Thanks Graber Outdoors!

Graber Outdoor provided complete front and back decks including 2 sets of stairs, railing and lighting. John and his crew were extremely professional - arrived early, worked diligently as a team and knew their business. John asked us questions to clarify our choices as needed. Their work was beautiful - very well done and they kept their work space completely tidy and clean We highly recommend Graber Outdoors for deck projects. The results we received surpassed our expectations. Plus, John and his crew are hard workers and thoughtful and kind people. We would love to do business with them again and hope others use their services - they won’t regret it!!!

We contacted John from Graber Outdoors after seeing his work on 2 different relatives’ projects. We talked to 3 other deck builders and there was no comparison, John really knew his stuff and we were immediately comfortable with his explanations and ideas. His pricing fit our budget and he kept his word the whole way through. No surprise add on charges. We wanted to replace our existing deck with something bigger and re-designed. He had great ideas we hadn’t thought of and it turned out beautifully. His crew was professional and very hard workers that did an outstanding job and cleaned up after themselves. Can’t say enough nice things about these guys. If you want it done right and at a reasonable price for quality craftsmanship, these are the guys for you. Just waiting for some warmer weather so we can enjoy the fruits of their labors! Very rarely do I do reviews, but they deserve it!!

Graber Outdoors built a deck for me recently and I was extremely pleased with the deck itself and the men who built it. They were great to work with. They were very professional in all ways. They listened to my ideas for the deck and executed them. Also I was very pleased with the way they cleaned up my property when the deck was completed. Also enjoyed working with John throughout the process. It was easy to describe what I had in mind for the deck and to exchange ideas.

I initially had John build me a deck,gazebo in the pergola liked his work so well I had him put on a new roof for me and flooring in the house and Doors on my outbuildings John has an excellent company and strives to make the customer happy.

John Graber and his crew did a fantastic job for us! He built a very large deck for us using Trex and it is beautiful. It really exceeded our expectations. My wife and I are both engineers and we are so delighted with the quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail. As small business owners, we had limited time to dedicate to holding the hand of a contractor or looking over their shoulder. John gave us total confidence in his ability to handle our project and was able to limit our involvement to key design decision - just what we needed from our contractor. We would certainly recommend John and Graber Outdoors!

Graber Outdoor did an excellent job building our Trex deck. They are easy to work with and did what they said. Did a lot of detail work on the stairs and lighting that you would normally not see. I would highly recommend them.

We highly recommend Graber Outdoors if you are in the market for a new deck, pergola and storage area under deck. John and his team built us a new deck with the Trex materials that far exceeded our expectations. They were very professional, completed the job exactly on time and communicated every step of the way. We initially were not planning on using this type of material but after seeing another deck they had built we made the switch. This company was not our cheapest bid but they were worth every penny. John worked with us every step of the way from design to helping us locate another company to do the concrete work (they were also fantastic) and making sure the job went very smoothly. We selected the Trex transcend in Havana Gold and Spiced Rum. We also selected the trex railing in vintage lantern and did the cocktail rail. The pergola is beautiful and shades well. We used a pretreated lumber for this. They even helped us to design and built an amazing storage area under the deck for storage.

Graber Outdoors completed an awesome Trex composite deck at my residence. Mr Graber was very up front about the cost and was very flexible to my changes/upgrades. They are very professional, on time, and among the best contractors that have worked on my house. I would recommend Graber Outdoors to anyone needing a deck!

An absolute joy to work with. We are so happy with our deck. John and his crew were always on time and cleaned up at the end of he day. I highly recommend his company. Very professional and friendly. The craftsmanship is incredible.

John and his crew did an excellent job on our new deck. His estimate was great & he was very timely on the project. He showed up and completed the project exactly as he said. We replaced an old depreciated deck with a brand new Trex Deck one. John Graber & his crew did an outstanding job and the quality & workmanship is excellent! John & his crew were very friendly & easy to work with. We had multiple last-minute changes & requests and each and every one they accepted and handled with outstanding customer service and openness. They even helped us spread large rock that we put in under the deck after removal of the old one prior to the start of the build of the new one. You couldn't ask for a more friendly, customer oriented group of guys. They put up with all of our questions and changes without blinking an eye. And again, the quality and craftmanship of the build was excellent as well. The price was also very good as well. Couldn't be more pleased! Thanks again to you, John & O.J & Ezra! We really appreciate you guys! Hope to maybe come to Jamesport to visit you guys in the near future.
