I’m the owner of Pilgrim Deck & Fence, and I grew up on job sites. I was 14 when I started learning from my father-in-law, Alvin, who has been building in our area for over 30 years. He taught me that a deck isn’t just a project—it’s where life happens.
When you share your details here, you aren’t sending a message to a faceless corporation. You are talking directly to me and my wife, Lesly. We run this local business with a simple promise: if I wouldn’t build it for my own house, I won’t make it for yours.
I don’t believe in long, high-pressure sales pitches. My goal is to get you from a first conversation to a finished project in about a month.
If you want a team that values honesty and speed, I’m ready to get my tools. Let’s build a space where you can finally stop looking at the grass and start enjoying the view.
I personally visit your home to walk the land and look at the layout of your house. You aren’t meeting a random salesperson; you are talking directly with the owner to find a design that makes sense for your property.
You don’t need a professional blueprint, but having a general idea of your goals helps me give a more accurate proposal. I’ll bring material samples from Trex, TimberTech, and others so we can look at them together in your own backyard.
I aim to provide a transparent and honest proposal shortly after our meeting, once I’ve mapped out the design and materials. I focus on transparency, so you know exactly what is required to get the project moving without hidden costs.
Yes, my office leads the county permitting process and works with you to complete the HOA paperwork. When I give you a plan, it includes navigating that red tape so you don’t have to.
We usually spend about 30 to 45 minutes looking at your yard and discussing your ideas. I want to make sure I hear what you need so I can build a space that works for your home.
Absolutely. During the visit, we can look at various high-quality products from partners like Fiberon or Deckorators to find a balance that handles our local weather and fits your plan.
