Ameriprise Financial
Letter of Recommendation

I emphatically recommend Jim Fox, Deck it Out Builders, with unabashed confidence for the design, construction of any garage project.

Jim Fox has an eye for detail, passion for clean lines, the utmost attention to finish work and an understanding of efficient space utilization. Jim and his team work fast, maintain a clean, organized job site, and oversee all details until the entire project is complete. He handled obtaining permits, coordinating We Energies, designing the project, ordering all the materials and even coordinating their delivery so that nothing sat outside, unprotected too long. When a corner piece arrived damaged, Jim immediately caused the lumber yard to make a 3 hour drive to pick up the replacement piece so as to allow the project to continue on time. From my perspective, adding this wonderful garage to my property could not have been any simpler.

This is a testament to competence as much as it is to a dedication to superb customer service.

I RECOMMEND DECK IT OUT BUILDERS FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF ANY GARAGE PROJECT!

Dear Jim,
Barb and I would like to thank you for the excellent job you did on the 24’ x 30’ garage you recently built for us. In this day and age, it is truly a pleasure dealing with someone who understands the “voice of the customer” and completes a project on-time and on budget. I was especially impressed by the quality of your planning, workmanship, and attention to detail. I was also impressed with you communication skills and keeping us informed of the scheduling, permits, and progress of the project.

I appreciate someone who takes pride in their workmanship and does things the right way the first time. The subcontractors you used also exhibited the same quality and pride in workmanship. If you ever need to use someone as a reference, please feel free to use us. Or, have them stop by to look at the garage. I can be contacted at my office during the workweek at 262-632-1694.

I look forward to working with you on the future project we discussed (deck and gutters).

Thanks again for a job well done!

To Whom It May Concern:

Jim Fox of Deck It Out design and carpentry was a sub-contractor used by the Case Corporation Training Center to construct and install chair rail and corkboard rail in two (2) conference rooms and one (1) classroom.

Jim met with me prior to beginning the project to look at the room layouts and take measurements. He also made available several styles of chair rail to choose from and made some excellent suggestions regarding placement and style of the cork board rail.

Jim was able to work during “off hours” so as not to disturb and meetings going on in these rooms during the day. The rooms were completed per our agreement and Jim followed up afterwards to do some minor touch-ups. We were very satisfied with the quality of workmanship and I have received many favorable comments regarding the aesthetic as well as functional value of the chair rails and corkboard rails. I would certainly recommend Mr. Fox for any type of job such as this.

Dear Prospective Customer,

It was an absolute pleasure working with Jim Foxx and his company Deck – It – Out, on the construction of our 30 x 30 garage. Jim took the extra time to find out how we planned to use our garage and designed a garage to meet all of our requirements. Jim used the best building materials and exceeded local code requirements to ensure the quality, durability, and the nice appearance of our garage. The construction phase of the project was managed very professionally. Jim started on time, kept the project moving forward and always ensured that the job site was clean and safe. When the construction was completed, Jim delivered a garage that was absolutely complete and ready to use. All we needed to do was drive in. in fact; we were so pleased with our garage and comfortable working with Jim, that we subsequently hired him to finish our basement.

We felt like Jim was the only contractor that we contracted who was really concerned about what we wanted and took the extra time and extended the extra effort to create a high quality, good looking final product that would exceed all of our expectations.

To Whom It May Concern:

After looking at a myriad of proposals to build our garage, at 912 William Street, Racine, WI we selected Deck It Out as our builder. This was done for multiple reasons:

  • Quality of the materials selected for the project.
  • Reputation of the builder.
  • Timetable agreed upon by the builder and owner.

Jim Fox of Deck It Out provided us a well thought out proposal, a reasonable timetable for completion and expert follow through on our progress. My wife and I never had any doubt about the integrity of the builder and it only was during the progress of the building that we realized the concern and well thought through progress of Jim Fox for our overall satisfaction. The materials and construction were first rate and his concern for our satisfaction was extraordinary. You may find cheaper but you will not find the quality that enhances every Deck It Out project. He is worth the price because what price do you put on quality and assurances that you have built the project right the first time and will not have to look back and ask yourself, “why did I try to cut corners?”

We highly recommend Deck It Out, Jim Fox as the builder for your building needs.

Subject: referral of Jim Fox for Remodeling

The work that Jim has done in my family’s basement has far exceeded my expectations. When I first contacted Jim I had envisioned a specific layout of rooms that I thought at the time was the best utilization of the basement space. After Jim and I discussed how my family wanted to use the space Jim had numerous suggestions that enhanced both the functionality and aesthetics of the space. Jim highlighted up front areas where costs could be saved and after we agreed on the project details, he was very true to his cost estimate. Changes to the project were openly discussed along the way and Jim was sure to clear all changes before he proceeded.

In summary, I highly recommend Jim Fox for any remodeling project. His vision attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship are phenomenal. If you would like to discusses Jim’s word or see the results of this work in my family’s’ basement please feel free to contact me.

To whom it may concern:

Jim Fox was contracted by us to finish two rooms in the lower level of our house. Jim designed a family room consisting of a billiards area and a sitting area which included a 13-foot entertainment center also of his own design. His solution to our particularly challenging ceiling was an excellent one.

We are extremely pleased with the quality of Jim’s workmanship and his meticulous attention to detail. He has excellent design capabilities and does all his own mill work such as the fluted columns in our entertainment center and ceiling crown moldings.

Jim is a very reliable person – someone we could depend on to communicate with us and honor time commitments to the best of his ability. He offered valuable advice in helping us stay within our budget for this project.

We are proud of the professional job that Jim has done and know that we have added excellent value to our home. We take pleasure in recommending him highly.
