Exterior Craft

We used Exterior Craft recently for a set of exterior stairs and are extremely happy with the results. Would highly recommend.

Tim and his crew were fantastic to deal with from start to finish! They worked with us to modify plans as required to respect our budget, and completed a beautiful project ahead of schedule. Very professional and reliable. Highly recommended!

We chose Exterior Craft to build our second storey aluminum deck with aluminum posts, and we're very glad we did! Tim was a pleasure to work with, and we were impressed with his professionalism and knowledge on all aspects of the project. Darren and Josh were very professional throughout the construction process, answering any on-site questions we had. We are very happy with their workmanship and attention to detail. We chose a bronze tinted glass paneled railings, Azek/Timbertech “English Walnut” fascia, aluminum posts, and it looks stunning. We will enjoy our maintenance-free 2nd storey deck for years to come. The Lock-Dry decking feature keeps our ground level patio dry, which is a bonus on those overcast, drizzly days. (Soffitting will be added to the underside in a few weeks). We highly recommend Exterior Craft!

I recently had an upper (aluminum) and lower (PVC) deck added to my house through Exterior Craft. I love both decks and I am now enjoying the choice of where to sit and relax in my backyard. It was a pleasure dealing with Tim and his crew, Darren, Wes and Josh. They worked so hard during the heat wave - their work ethic is amazing! And it is matched by the quality of their workmanship. To be perfectly honest, there was a small miscommunication at the beginning of the project. The only reason that I am mentioning it is that it was handled so well by Tim and Darren - only apologies and remedies, no excuses or defensiveness. Things sometimes happen, and it is good to know that Tim and his team can handle situations responsibly and think first of the customer. I would not hesitate to recommend Exterior Craft to anyone looking for a deck (and, in fact, I already have!)

Tim and his team did a great job on replacing our old deck. With Tim's advice about materials we chose a PVC deck surface which looks super and will eliminate the need for annual sanding and staining. I also appreciated that Tim was always available by email, text or phone, and replied promptly. The work was done in a timely manner, as promised. Darren and Josh were terrific workers, polite, efficient and tidy; a pleasure to have on the property. Altogether it was a very positive experience, and we are happy to recommend Exterior Craft to anyone considering adding a deck to their living space.

We had a very positive experience with Exterior Craft. Tim and his team were very professional, addressed all our concerns, were highly responsive, and we are very happy with the final product. We would not hesitate to work with them again or recommend them to anyone.

Our experience working with Tim was excellent. The work was completed in a timely manner and we could not be more pleased with the results. In particular we appreciated how quickly he would respond to all of our questions and/or concerns throughout the project. We highly recommend him.

Tim had great turnaround time for us. I was hoping to get things done quickly and he was able make that happen. We got a really nice deck in the end that will hopefully last for decades.

Tim and his team were great to work with on our porch! Very helpful, quick and professional. They took the time to answer my questions and explain things, both before and during the work, and everything looks really well done. Would definitely recommend them!

We had a very complex project for our rooftop patio that required deck flooring, a pergola, a steel canopy, lighting, etc. Tim and his team were extremely professional, reliable and provided great advice regarding our design, product selection, etc. The end result was better than we could imagine and the customer service was A+. We would highly recommend - quality of work and attention to detail was exceptional.

Very pleased with Tim Beadle and team’s work on our new front porch! Tim is great to work with and very client-focussed. His top priority is client satisfaction with the end result. Tim always responded quickly to our requests for information, and offered a number of ideas to help us achieve the desired design for the porch within our budget. The original porch was unsafe, and Tim was able to fit our job into the schedule before the winter which was greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend Tim and his team!

We hired Exterior Craft following analysis of the reviews and following a phone call with Tim. We have a raised cedar deck and wanted waterproof patio space below the deck. Tim recommended the LockDry aluminum decking, and showed us samples of the different colour choices. We decided to go ahead with his recommendation. Tim came up with an innovative solution for providing the slope so that rain will drain off the deck. The work was done to a very high quality. The installers were a pleasure to have at our home, and they worked efficiently and carefully. They had to remove and then replace our glass railings, this was done without any problems. They cleaned up after the work was finished. We are delighted with the results, and can now enjoy the space under the deck.

We had a fantastic experience with Exterior Craft this summer. Tim, Darren and the team built us a beautiful custom back deck our of a wood look PVC. I was nervous about this choice having always used cedar but the long last factor was appealing. We’re so pleased with the result - it is truly gorgeous. What sets them apart, aside from amazing attention to detail and aesthetic, is the partnership and communication throughout the project. They were so great to work with. I would highly recommend Exterior Craft and plan to work together again on a front porch project.

We couldn’t be happier with quality of work & materials supplied by Exterior Craft . From the owner Tim to the crew doing the hands on work they were all extremely knowledgeable & professional. The end result was a beautiful outdoor living space ( deck) that will be enjoyed for years to come .

I contacted Tim after another highly recommended firm couldn't be bothered to provide a promised estimate. Little did we know how fortunate this would turn out to be. Beginning with the first no pressure conversation, Tim was professional and courteous while providing us with numerous options to consider. Instead of spending money trying to extend the life of our very large, high maintenance cedar deck we decided to replace it with an equally large, maintenance free Azek PVC deck and we couldn't be happier. The quality of the material combined with the craftsmanship and creativity displayed by Tim's team, led by Darren, was impeccable. Overall it was a wonderful contracting experience with the only drawback being that the new deck looks so good, we now have to have Tim and his team back to upgrade the rest of our property! I definitely recommend Tim Beadle Exterior Craft.

We are very happy with our new Azek deck built by Exterior Craft. Tim and his crew started the job on time, were easy to talk to throughout the entire process, and their high attention to detail was appreciated. We needed a fastener adjusted after the deck was completed and Tim came over quickly to take care of it. Thanks!

Tim Beadle and his company were recommended to me by a friend, and I cannot thank her enough for doing so! My project was a deck off the second storey of my house. Tim’s focus on satisfying his customer was apparent from the outset. He advised us on the actual structure, which resulted in a much nicer addition; he advised us on navigating the building permit process and subsequent inspection, resulting in an easy approval; his team worked efficiently and effectively in a consistently friendly and respectful manner; he added to the structure with no additional charge to ourselves; he willingly worked around our challenging schedule; he willingly accepted our requested changes to materials; and answered our many questions swiftly and professionally. The result is a lovely deck, which has already given us a great deal of pleasure! Tim was the third contractor I had contacted for this job, it really was a case of third time lucky! Thank you very much.

When we moved into our Ottawa home, we decided to remove the leaking hottub from the corner of our deck. We then searched for a company to fill in the resulting empty corner of the deck. Tim accepted the job without hesitation, even though it was a relatively small job. He consulted with us on every aspect of the job, making suggestions about design and wood. He was able to fit us in at the start of deck season so we would be able to enjoy the full deck all summer. Tim’s crew was prompt, exceedingly polite and meticulous in their work. I highly recommend Exterior Craft and would call them again for any outside building work we might have.

Tim was super helpful in planning out our backyard patio and pergola. The project was completed in a timely manner and far quicker than my expectations. Tim and his team did a phenomenal job on the project including clean up. Very professional and responsive!

We had a great experience working with Tim on replacing our old deck with a new Azek upgrade. Tim is very personable and quick to respond to messages. He gave us options to consider at different price points, and together with his team, Tim worked through all of our requests to build a large deck that included two sets of stairs with integrated lighting and a custom entry point for our hot tub. The price was fair, the quality was excellent, and the great communication made the whole project easy and pleasant. We will enjoy relaxing on our beautiful new deck for many years to come!

Having worked with Tim previously, we had no hesitation in having ExteriorCraft replace an aging deck in our backyard. Tim was extremely helpful in providing ideas and making recommendations on design, materials and colours. He and his crew were flexible and efficient and exhibited excellent craftsmanship in their work. The crew worked around some timing constraints and the project was finished ahead of schedule. The Azek PVC decking looks great and we are extremely pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Tim and Exterior Craft to anyone looking for a professional and knowledgeable contractor to undertake their outdoor project.

Tim and the Exterior Craft team helped us design and build a deck, install a retractable awning and redesign a BBQ counter this past summer. We were so pleased with their professionalism and the quality of their work and we would wholeheartedly recommend Exterior Craft to anyone looking to build a deck in Ottawa. We found Tim to be particularly kind, honest and helpful throughout our project. He was quite knowledgeable and provided us with realistic goals in terms of price, timelines and end results. He was available and responsive every step of the way and went well beyond our expectations in terms of his commitment to our project. His positive attitude and direct manner made him a true pleasure to work with. The Exterior Craft team was exceptional as well. Darren is a very skilled builder who is able to anticipate and solve potential problems so effectively that our project progressed without any notable issues. Additionally, his attention to detail and genuine passion for his work resulted in a beautifully crafted deck that looks and functions just as we hoped it would. We are so appreciative of Exterior Craft's expertise in creating a beautiful and functional backyard space which we hope to enjoy for many years. Thank you!

Working with Tim and the team at Exterior Craft is a uniquely luxurious experience. From the first meeting, the team provided specific, helpful design ideas for my project. What I thought were obstacles to the build disappeared in their capable hands. Tim worked within my budget and proposed a deck project that met all my requirements. What was delivered was a work of art that exceeded all my expectations! The product looks beautiful and the workmanship is exceptional: Sharp mitred corners, perfectly aligned planks and small design details combine to make my deck stunning. When the project was complete, my yard was left in pristine condition. From beginning to end, I was impressed with the time and effort every member of Tim's team invested in my small project. They made me feel important. They made sure I was constantly well-informed, respectfully running each decision by me before committing. Tim visited my home several times to personally walk me through every detail - service that is all too rare these days. I've already recommended Exterior Craft to several of my friends, based on my wonderfully positive personal experience: An entirely stress-free project during which I felt like the top priority of a supremely competent team. I recommend them to you, dear reader, without hesitation.

We engaged Exterior Craft to replace an aging set of stairs and small deck at the back to of our house. Tim and his staff were a pleasure to deal with, were friendly and extremely competent. We are very pleased with the result and would unhesitatingly recommend the company, and would certainly use them again should we have any similar requirements.

I found Tim (Exterior Craft) searching the web having no previous experience with him. My wife and I were looking to have a deck built in our backyard. Tim came over to give us a quote and view our backyard, and right from the start he was giving us ideas on what we could do based upon what our original plan was. He listened to our concerns and advised us on both the good and negative aspects to what we were thinking. By the end of our consultation, Tim had explained everything to us in great detail on types of deck materials we could go with, what we could expect for timelines and the overall process, and estimated costs. Tim and his crew built a wonderful 12’ x 17’ deck on our house made with Timber Tech composite deck materials (low maintenance, durable). Tim always kept us informed at every stage of the project. His team (Darren and Grant) were extremely professional and friendly. They were patient with us with our multitude of questions, and were very flexible to make minor adjustments at our request. At the end of each day the work place was kept extremely clean and tidy. The end cost of the project did not vary from the estimate. The work was of a high quality and it was a great experience working with Tim and his team!

Project: Deck 1 - 5feet x 13feet Azec Vintage Decking, 2 techno piles, glass and aluminum railing Deck 2 - 12feet x 20feet Azec Vintage Decking, Contact Lumber, cribbing design We had what we believe to be a pretty elaborate deck. We found Tim and his team wonderful to work with and would recommend them to anyone. Design and Contact Phase: Tim was available to answer question, we sent him tons of email and he made suggestions. We mocked up a drawing but he provided feedback. Our top deck needed support and he suggested the techno piles, the lower deck we wanted on the ground so he suggested contact wood instead of the piles. He was able to arrange the piles to be installed well before we got our fence installed (which is important due to access). The Crew and Construction: Darren was our foreman and he was phenomenal. What we really liked about his was that he made suggestions to us. What we thought we wanted we decided against (drilling a hole through the deck for gas line). The team was quick, efficient and did great great work. Our deck looks wonderful and we are very happy with it. We have a hot tub going in and were going to use crushed stone base. Darren actually suggested we box it in otherwise the stone might move. Our immediate thoughts were they wouldn't be able to fit us in as it wasn't part of the original job. Nope, Tim is quoting this as we speak and says it can be done when they come back to do the railing. The great thing about this is we didn't have to suggest it to them, they made suggestions as they went along. I do have to mention the younger workers that were with Darren. They were super quick, helped move things for us and very friendly. They cleaned everything, removed old deck and you can't tell they were even here. Anecdotally my wife found it pretty funny when Darren used his foot and a measuring tape to show us the width of the stairs, she said no one has every used their foot to show her a measurement. Electrical for Deck: Tim and his team actually slowed down a bit to let me coordinate an electrician coming in to run electrical through the deck for both the hot tub and electrical outlets on either corner. The crew actually fastened the electrical after they put the fascia on. I was worried about holding them up but it's clear they were not worried and were very accommodating. On one final note we had a bit of an issue with our neighbour when the project was going on. Tim actually went over to apologize in person and bought flowers. My neighbour said he has never seen a contractor do that. It shows me that Tim has the same philosophy we do which is owning up to things and making it right. I have to be honest, I spent a long time looking for someone to do my deck. I am very particular and I need to feel like we are more than just a job. We spent alot of money on this project (given the lumber prices and the Azek decking) and I don't regret any of it. This deck stands out and Tim was a pleasure to work with.

What an extraordinary experience. The best four words in renovations: on time, on budget! We replaced our 30-year-old wodden deck with a new and larger TimberTech creation. Tim, Darren, and crew were great workers, as well as respectful and polite. Tim's communication skills were excellent. He was amazing at returning calls and texts, and making sure we understood every step along the way. Darren took extra care getting the right colour on the cedar privacy panel, and even came on Canada Day to install, as we were having guests. I highly recommend Exterior Craft.

The wonderful Exterior Craft team just completed work on our new backyard deck (wood frame and roof, composite decking and benches). It is beautiful and we love the finished product! Such a treat to finally have a backyard space we can enjoy. And Tim and his team were great to work with all along the way. They were here when they said they would be, kept the construction site clean when they weren't working, were always friendly and happy to discuss the project, and stuck to planned timelines where they could (we did encounter some COVID-related material delays, but not for any lack of planning on their part). We do not hesitate in highly recommending Exterior Craft.

Excellent service!!!!! I am very happy with the work done. Our deck looks amazing. I highly recommend Exterior Craft.

Exterior Craft was amazing! They turned our vision of a sunroom/3 season room into a reality with incredible craftsmanship and a great team of workers! We would use Exterior Craft for our next home project! Thank you Tim and your team for giving us a special place where our family can make memories!

While the pandemic provided extra construction challenges, the final result was excellent. Tim was very helpful during the design and construction phases.

Working with Tim Beadle and the Team from Exterior Craft was a fantastic experience. Working with this company is exactly what you would hope the experience to be. Having found them online with no previous knowledge of them, did we lucked out. Tim and team’s professionalism, attention to detail and flexibility were greatly appreciated and made the experience easy. We are so very happy with our new front deck. The quality of the workmanship and the quality of the product that Tim offered is fantastic (Azek Decking). They transformed the curb appeal of our house. I would and am recommending anyone to work with Exterior Craft and Tim Beadle, you won’t be disappointed. Professional, great value for stellar workmanship and a friendly, experienced team.

Very good service right from the beginning. Impressed by the communication process to keep us informed of delays, and there were few and certainly not a result of their own doing. Would recommend them anytime.

Tim replaced a 20 year old deck with a new one. He was very helpful and patient as we fussed over materials, design and details. We found solutions together and are delighted with the results. We chose Thermory Ash which we highly recommend. The work was done with care and an eye for aesthetics as well as durability.

I talked to a few contractors about our complicated deck project. Tim was the only contractor that emitted the professionalism that we were looking for, and understood the vision of our deck design. Tim was always patient and easy to talk to throughout the project. Ryan and Sam also did a great job with the framing, despite the complex nature of the design. I would definitely recommend Tim and his team.

Planning a major project such as a large deck and fence for our new home was a significant challenge for us. Tim Beadle met with us a few times to explain what he could offer as well as his recommendations based on many years of experience. We never felt pressured to use his services and he was very accommodating when we had questions, concerns or changes. The project was completed in a timely manner and both Tim and his team were pleasant and professional. We could not be happier with our deck. We highly recommend Tim Beadle and Exterior Craft and would not hesitate to use him for future projects. .

From the first time we met Tim, he was professional, experienced, courteous and genuinely interested in transforming our backyard space. He even completed our deck sooner than expected so we could enjoy it for a weekend or two before it got cold. Tim also promptly addressed some of our concerns and made sure we were satisfied with the final result - a beautiful composite deck we can enjoy for decades to come. We have already recommended him to friends.

We hired Exterior Craft (Tim Beadle) to build a PVC deck. The quality of the workmanship was excellent and the final product exceeded our expectations. The project was finished on time and budget. Tim was friendly, helpful, and patient as we made small changes during the project, and was very clear and prompt in all communications. I strongly recommend working with Exterior Craft.

I have just had a basic, attractive deck, in Azek, built by Tim Beadle of Exterior Craft. Living in a townhouse condominium complex, there were requirements and issues which, Tim copied throughout, I began discussing with our board and property management group ten months ago. Challenges/drama/delays through the intervening months and approval process. I could not have hoped for a more informed, more collaborative, more pleasant relationship with my builder in the face of that process. I give Tim high marks for his technical knowledge and support, which helped me to maintain some degree of equanimity opposite the referenced challenges. Further high marks for his management, in his peak season, of a sudden, unrealistic requirement for ‘immediate’ dismantlement of the old deck (to allow exterior brickwork on the house). And, at last, his swift, smart installation of a fresh, handsome deck in Azek. Professionalism and invaluable assistance to me, and crisp new deck, and I recommend Tim Beadle and Exterior Craft highly.

Earlier rating was a mistype, so I am redoing: Tim was very professional and friendly throughout. He provided a timeline and delivered our deck made of composite wood and aluminum rails within that timeline. When we had concerns, he addressed them. His design suggestions were also well received. We also liked that he drew our attention to potential water drainage problems below our deck and took steps to address that issue. On another occasion, when a sub contractor doing the techno metal poles accidentally damaged our gate, Tim took care of repairing it.

Tim did a great job of working with us to hone our vision and ultimately deliver a great result on time and on budget. Murt and his crew addressed grading issues, redid a fence and built a beautiful deck with artificial grass on the side. Whenever a question or potential issue came up both Tim and Murt were very responsive, working with us until we were happy with the result. The crew was pleasant to have around and the work was done as quietly as one can expect. I am happy to recommend Exterior Craft to others.

Exterior Craft provided an excellent, on time, and highly professional service for a 2-level deck project to replace and extend a backyard deck area. Their attention to detail, response to questions and superb communications throughout were very much appreciated. The price point was very reasonable especially given the high build quality and proposed schedule which was met. Thanks to Tim and Murt for a really personable and professional job done!

Our backyard was a long-neglected disaster. The ground had even receded, skewing the grade level and threatening drainage problems. So we needed the whole thing stripped and re-graded, followed by the creation of flower beds, a small lawn, a large deck, and a hot-tub pad. We contacted Exterior Craft in the busy spring season but they got to work quickly. They were extremely thorough, going to great lengths to truly strip the yard down to a blank slate that could be built up properly from the foundations. We particularly appreciated that they took small details as seriously as the big stuff. Any issues we raised were dealt with immediately and completely. The final result was exactly what we wanted: A simple, clean, functional, well-designed backyard at a reasonable price.

Ottawa, Ontario The best experience working with Tim and Murt. Tim was very patient and Murt is an artist, our deck is beautiful work of art and we are very happy. Thank you Tim!

Tim and his crew did a wonderful job on our sunroom. He saw our vision through and was able to adapt with the changes we made before and during the construction. He gave good advice and was always pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend if you want good workmanship and a company with integrity.

We engaged Exterior Craft to rebuild our back deck (approx 10’x11’) and we are very happy with the end result. Tim was very helpful and responsive from the building permit process through to the end. He had very good suggestions on building materials (we went with Azek decking and Mirik railings) and he answered all of our questions. We would definitely recommend Tim and Exterior Craft. A big thank you to Tim and all his team ((-:

We had a number of companies come in to quote for a new deck and tear down. Most did not have the answers to our concerns and made the process confusing. A friend recommended Exterior Craft and showed us their Azek deck and how pleased they were with Tim and his crew. What a breath of fresh air when he came by with his framer and both had suggestions and they worked with us to give us what we wanted along with discussing the pros and cons of cedar,composite and PVC decks. The crew was on time, kept the workplace clean and were very respectful. Couldn't have had a more positive experience and even the minor concerns along the way were addressed and taken care of to our satisfaction without questioning. 100% satisfied and would highly recommend Tim and his crew.

We hired Exterior Craft to build a new deck at our cottage. From day one they were extremely informative and responsive. Any time we had questions they happily answered them and offered as much detail as required for us to make decisions regarding the deck, whether related to the materials to use, the sizing, or styling. The work was done on time and on budget and to a very high quality. I would recommend Exterior Craft to friends and family.

Tim and his crew built a beautiful 18’ x 20’ deck on my house built from Azek (low maintenance, durable material). Tim exhibited excellent project management skills from the planning to completion. I was always kept informed at every stage of the project; even where there was a slight delay in the schedule due to weather conditions. I was contacted immediately regarding any decisions and always given options. His team was professional and friendly. The work place was kept extremely clean and tidy. The cost of the project did not vary from the estimate. The work was high in quality. A wonderful contractor experience!

It was a pleasure to work with Tim on our privacy screens for our newly landscaped backyard. Tim helped us create beautiful and well crafted structures which we will enjoy for many years to come. The Exterior Craft team that came to build these structures were professional and made the experience a very positive one. Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail were what we wanted and expected and that is exactly what we got.

`A friend of mine recommended Exterior Craft after getting a PVC deck built. I needed front steps so I gave them a call. The owner came around and we talked ideas and he later sent me a quote for the project. My plan was to use a high end PVC decking so I knew that I wanted someone with the experience to do it right. I am very happy with the result. I've had many compliments from friends and neighbors about my "beautiful" new front porch.

NOTE: we considered this a multi year project with some items to be completed ourselves following the deck build. As of Nov 5, 2017 the following are incomplete: stair landing cladding; upper deck fascia, soffit and lighting; landscape lighting in gardens. In early 2016, we hired a designer for our backyard. The backyard is about 3600 sq.ft. , so a fairly big space. Ultimately, the design included a deck, an away patio and gardens along all each fence lines. The deck design was fairly complicated - over 800 square feet and spread out over 5 levels, including a 12x12 upper deck that provided a shelter from the rain for the lower deck. We have a walkout-condition house and one side of the yard has an elevation along one fence, and this necessitated a design that included, among other challenges, a tricky entrance at the backyard gate and challenging transition between the upper level stairs and two levels of the deck below. The deck and landscape design was by Welwyn Wong. Bottom line is that Tim at Exterior Craft is a pro. He is kind, honest and a great listener. His team is fantastic and they are all very professional. Hire Exterior Craft. Your Exterior Craft project will most definitely add value to your home, giving you years of enjoyment. Plus, knowing Tim and Exterior Craft will come back and address anything that comes up, you don’t have a thing to worry about. Give Tim a call, you won’t regret it! Please contact Tim for a link to a 4.5 page detailed review of the process - from start to finish.

I am delighted to provide a review for Exterior Craft. The workmanship is excellent, the team came when they said they would, worked in an orderly and organized manner, and finished within the time frame which had been provided. I would not hesitate to use them again.

It was very easy to communicate with Mr. Beadle - he was always available to answer my questions and did so promptly. The work was done when he said it would be and in the time estimated. this despite very bad weather for outside work this year. He got the back deck done quicky so that I would have it for use during the summer such as the weather permitted. He waited until there were enough clear days to tear down and rebuild the front porch so that I was not left with a gaping hole while it rained. The final result was a very satisfactory job at the cost budgetted. I highly recommend him to do similar outdoor work - professional and personable.

We are very pleased with the deck Tim did for us -- not only did he take the extra time to create a design that met our wishlist (no railing, low maintenance, fit with existing landscaping), he provided prompt and thorough answers to numerous emails we had about materials and process, and came to our home a number of times before starting the project to discuss the design. In addition, he arranged for us to view a previous client's deck to see how the Azek looked in place. The work was done on a timely basis, and the area was cleaned up on completion. We are extremely happy with the design and quality of the finished deck and definitely recommend Exterior Craft.

I got a reply from Tim in less than 2 days (1st one to reply). Even after sending pictures of the posts to be replaced, Tim took the time to come over before submitting his estimate. His estimate was significantly lower than the only other company that provided an estimate. The project was done in a timely matter with great quality.

The work site was kept clean and we were kept well informed on progress. The finished product met our expectations and has enhanced the value of our property.

I had the pleasure of working with Tim and his team members, Richard, John, and Craig, in 2016. Their work is very high quality - excellent attention to detail, very dependable (in terms of budget and deadlines), friendly, thoughtful, and proactive. They maintained a clean site, were attentive to my walking disability, and went well beyond my expectations. I intend to hire them for more work in the future and will be grateful to have them. I wish all contractors were as professional and great to work with!

We hired Tim to design and build a deck leading to a patterned concrete patio surrounding our pool. Tim is a very kind and accommodating person to deal with. We had very specific ideas and he was extremely patient and flexible in the design process. His workmanship was excellent and he was done in a timely fashion. He and his installers were always polite, courteous and tidy. We would highly recommend him.

Tim did an excellent job. We asked him to investigate a frameless glass railing that we saw in Europe and he not only found a Canadian supplier he also installed it perfectly.

I had the great fortune working with Tim Beadle, owner of Exterior Craft whom we asked to do our deck. Tim was an incredible in constructing a very durable, highly attractive and top quality deck which we had lots of fun using this summer. He was very punctual, attentive to detail and took his craftsmanship very seriously. He was very devoted to his work to provide us the highest possible product. We are very happy with the work and we would highly recommend him for any deck work. Thank you Tim!! We really appreciate everything you have done for us this year.

This company is terrific to work with. Tim, the owner, is clearly very experienced at building decks. We provided Tim with a plan. He explained how the deck would be constructed, and suggested small changes that maintained the overall look of the deck while reducing the cost significantly. Tim's crew was equally terrific. They were clearly experienced master carpenters, who were friendly, meticulous in their work, and kept the work area very clean. At the last minute, we wanted to make some significant changes to the materials that had been spec'd. Although we had messed up his schedule, Tim was very supportive, reminding us that it was important for us to get exactly what we wanted, even if it was going to take a bit longer. He referred us to previous clients who had used materials that we were considering, and they provided very useful advice. In the end, we got the deck that we wanted, we use it all the time, and we are very happy with the workmanship and the people that built it.

Tim and his crew from Exterior Craft ripped out our old, peeling cedar deck and replaced it with a beautiful maintenance free deck with Azek decking. We were very much impressed with Tim's attention to detail and meticulous work. The whole experience from start to finish was very pleasant as Tim consulted with us throughout the process, and his team was friendly and professional. We are delighted with our deck and so pleased to see how the entire back yard looks so much better with the eyesore of an old deck replaced.

I first heard about Exterior Craft from friends who had owner Tim Beadle help them design a new deck and subsequently build it to as close to perfection as possible. At first sight I knew that I wanted to replace our 5 year old deck using the same materials as Tim had used to build our friends deck. After doing our do diligence with other recommended deck builders we decided to go with Exterior Craft and their price was competitive and we knew that all of their staff was easy to work with and absolutely meticulous to a fault. We went with all of their recommendations and were happy every time. I would recommend this company without reservation. Everything that they said would happen, did happen, and all of the work was on time. Other friends of ours have now jumped on our neighbourhood bandwagon and have had their 10 year old deck replaced and they are as happy as we are.

I had the good fortune to hire Tim Beadle at Exterior Craft to execute on a creative Welwyn Wong building design for my townhouse balcony and patio area. Tim was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He used excellent judgement in recommending materials and hired sub-trades as required to produce a fabulous result. His attention to detail, project planning skills and mastery of building were invaluable. I now have a beautiful, safer and maintenance free rear balcony and patio area that adds value and makes the best use of a small urban outdoor space. I can hardly wait until spring to move forward with the planting design.

Exterior Craft's Mr. Tim Beadle completed a 2nd story maintenance-free deck project for us in 2013 for our house in west end of Ottawa that has a walk-out basement. The new deck was built using extruded interlocking aluminum decking planks providing a truly water-proof solution. The decking planks have a heavy duty powder coat finish with an embedded crumble for unmatched non-skid performance. The result is a beautiful surface that is super easy to maintain; a light sweep or hose down is all that is required. A staircase was also constructed using the same aluminum decking planks making for a light (not heavy) look. Beautiful black aluminum railings completed the final touches. The sides and underside of the deck was finished with elegant white vinyl panels with integrated pot lights for entertaining in the evening. The support columns were wrapped in white vinyl panels. Overall the aluminum railings and flooring, with elegant support columns and soffit all came together to make a spectacular look. We remain very impressed with Mr. Tim Beadle's professionalism and approach to work with us from concept creation, design, implementation, through to delivery. We are extremely pleased with Tim’s detailed and high quality work, the deck is magnificent and exactly what we were hoping for. The project was completed on-time and on-budget. Tim’s attention to detail is to be commended, and is reflected in his choice of team members and attention to every phase of the project. We would highly recommend Tim and his team for any deck project, large or small.

The project consisted of replacing our pool deck (done using interlock stones) by a composite product (PVC) with no maintenance needed. My wife and I were very impressed by the expertise and working experience with the proposed product. We were impressed by the ease with which we could discuss our needs, and the ability of Tim's team to explain how the work would be completed. Their work was excellent, they accomplished everything we requested within the projected budget and the workmanship exceeded our expectations. Tim and his team worked very well with a number of different contractors. I welcome anyone to come and check out the work done by Exterior Craft. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Again, thank you to Tim, Jon and Richard for your excellent work.

Tim Beadle (owner of Exterior Craft) was instrumental in carrying out the deck replacement of 48 upper balconies at our Condominium. Tim made many innovative suggestions with regard to the method of installation of an aluminum decking product called "Lockdry" as this type of project had never been carried out before in the Ottawa area. Tim's employees always came to work early and cleaned up the work site at the end of every day for the entire six weeks they were here. The project was completed on time and on budget. I would certainly recommend Tim and his crew to anyone considering hiring Exterior Craft. Ernest Graydon Ex-President, OCSCC #698

Exterior Craft, under the leadership of Tim Beadle, was responsible for implementing a complex deck plan involving the use of Azek PVC over multiple levels at the back of our home. The result is a beautiful and functional deck that is built to last for decades with little maintenance. The work was completed by Tim and his team to a very high standard. We had the impression that Tim was taking the care to build a deck that he would want for his own home. Client meetings prior to and at appropriate points during construction added to the value of the experience. We highly recommend Tim Beadle’s Exterior Craft for work requiring precision and quality.
