Custom Wood Fencing had installed my back wood deck, as well as a wood deck that I had around my above ground pool, several years prior. After replacing my above-ground pool with an in-ground pool, I wanted modifications made to my back deck so that it would allow access to my new pool and look like the old part of the deck and the new part were not two separate pieces. John Gannon, the owner, made suggestions and his workers were able to integrate the changes as to make the entire deck as it were built all at one time. It also flows well my concrete pool deck. I would definitely recommend john Gannon and Custom Wood Fencing. Not only does his company do great work, but John has also has made great suggestions and given ideas that we had never thought of.
