Case Study: Youngblood Deck
The Challenge
The homeowners wanted to remove an aging deck and replace it with a larger, upgraded outdoor living space. Their vision included a custom deck design with a dedicated wall for mounting a TV, as well as a brand-new patio installed in front of the deck to create a functional entertaining area. They needed a contractor who could manage both elements clearly, communicate well, and deliver high-end results without surprises.
The Solution
Home Run Improvement began with an on-site consultation led by Michael, who worked closely with the homeowners to understand their goals and explore design options. To ensure the patio was executed at the highest level, Henry, a trusted patio partner, joined the planning process to walk through materials, layout, and construction details.
The team proposed creative enhancements, provided a transparent and detailed estimate, and outlined a clear project timeline from the start. As additional features were added during construction, all cost changes were communicated immediately, keeping expectations aligned at every step.
Premium materials were selected to ensure long-term performance and visual impact, including TimberTech decking and Unilock stone for the patio.
The Process
- Daily on-time arrival and consistent progress
- Ongoing check-ins to confirm design details and homeowner satisfaction
- Clear communication on timeline and budget adjustments
- Skilled craftsmanship across decking, structural work, and hardscaping
The project stayed on schedule, and the final cost matched the agreed-upon estimate exactly.
The Results
The completed deck and patio exceeded expectations. The expanded deck created a perfect space for entertaining, complete with a TV-ready wall, while the new patio added flow to the outdoor area. The homeowners were left with a high-quality outdoor living space built to last.
Client Outcome
The homeowners praised Home Run Improvement for exceptional professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail, noting the quality of materials, the consistency of communication, and the craftsmanship throughout the project. They highly recommend Home Run Improvement and were thrilled with the final result.
"We met with Michael to discuss removing our existing deck and replacing it with a larger, upgraded design that included a dedicated wall for a TV mount, along with a new patio installation in front. He brought in Henry—who owns a patio company and partners with Home Run Improvement—to walk us through the patio details. From the very beginning, both were incredibly responsive, professional, and thoughtful in their approach.
They offered creative ideas, provided a thorough and transparent estimate, and outlined a clear timeline for the project. As we added a few extras along the way, any cost adjustments were communicated immediately and clearly. Their reliability was unmatched—they arrived on time every single day and demonstrated true craftsmanship in every aspect of their work. The materials they used were top-tier, including TimberTech for the deck and Unilock stone for the patio.
Throughout the project, they checked in regularly to ensure everything aligned with our expectations. The work was completed on schedule, and the final cost was exactly what we anticipated. The finished deck and patio not only met but exceeded our expectations in every way.
Home Run Improvement delivered exceptional quality, professionalism, and attention to detail. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. We highly and wholeheartedly recommend them."
