Just today, in fact, Ron with To Do List Decks finished my fantastic new deck! It's aesthetically pleasing, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing it's safe, sturdy, and long lasting is priceless. No shortcuts were taken, and the pride of craftsmanship shines through. I look forward to future BBQs, birthday parties, and even just having a relaxing afternoon with a good book on my new deck. Thank you!

We wanted to replace our wood deck with Trex and called Ron because decks are what he knows and does. Although we liked his advice and vision, we were further delighted and pleased when we also discovered the quality of his artistic craftsmanship and attention to detail that he placed in building our deck! So much so, that he went on to replace a second wooden deck for us. Our two decks are now replaced, beautiful, and will long outlast us. We highly recommend Ron as an artist, a craftsman, and a superb deck builder!

We had a very old wood deck that we wanted replaced and made larger. We knew we wanted Trex. We were lucky to have found Ron. Our project started late in the fall and Ron worked all through the winter. He was extremely thorough, methodical and reliable. He addressed some underlying problems and fixed them and also built custom benches for the firepit part of the deck. Ann and I couldn't be happier with the quality of workmanship. In June, we will be getting married on our new deck.

Ron was a professional from beginning to end with our 2nd story deck. He gave great advice when deciding what direction to go with our project and then executed at the highest level. Ron was great with our young kids and very accommodating to our schedule and timeline. I would highly recommend Ron for any future projects and intend to use him again in the future

Photos and words cannot do the back deck and front porch justice To Do List built for my home and family. The previous deck was falling off our house it was so old, unsafe. The new deck Ron built us is simply amazing, cannot wait to host gatherings to show off and enjoy the work he did for us here. To Do List Decks!!

We can't say enough about Ron and Mike. The quality of our deck build far surpassed expectations on all levels. It was a rather large project that took some time to complete so we got to know them quite well during the process and they are top quality builders, but more importantly, top shelf people. And Guy's if your in the area make sure to swing by, Jelly would love to see you. She still peaks out the window looking for you.

Ron and Mike did a great job replacing our 20+ year old deck, both are very professional. The new deck exceeded our expectations. The construction was beyond code and the finish product is beautiful. I would definitely recommend "To Do List Decks" for your next Deck project.

To Do List Decks did a great job replacing our old, too small deck and concrete stairs with a larger beautiful composite deck and we couldn't be happier. Ron and Mike were consummate professionals, clear and communicative on what they were doing, kept the project on track and on schedule, and were up front and fair on the few little change orders that arose. We would definitely recommend To Do List Decks.

Ron and Mike transformed the exterior appearance of my home. They removed a 30 yr old deck and the steps with a small porch area at my side door. The finished product was beautiful. We went with the PVC railing and Trex steps and decking. The framing was "built for a direct hit" , using stronger than normal construction techniques and materials. To Do List: Decks, is truly head and shoulders above the rest in quality and attention to detail. Gene & Pam

"Nobody builds like this anymore....Nobody wants to build them (decks) the old-school way anymore." That is what our town's building inspector said to me. He was so impressed, he went and got the other town building inspector to come over and look at the pool deck that To Do List Decks with Ron and his team built. Now, I know enough about building to be dangerous, but my wife and I chose to outsource this project. I received Ron's name from Kelly Fradet Lumber in Ellington as I've done business with them with my own projects over the years. I ask for a quality deck contractor and they provided me with Ron's name and his business. Our project was an 10'x18' free standing pool deck situated around a 24' round Discovery. We met with Ron to discuss our plans. He promptly provided us a quote and a timeline. We decided to go with him after reviewing other contractor's quotes and their workmanship against Ron's quote and workmanship from other local projects. First and foremost, Ron and his team are very professional and Ron does a great job of communicating anything that can (and usually does) occur on building projects. For example 20' PT 2x20s were on back-order and Ron discussed an alternative to which we agreed to. Same deck, but the framing plan needed to be slightly adjusted. From start to finish the deck took just over a month (a few rain days in there as well.) The operation is a small team of three men who are polite, professional, and are very good about cleaning up their work space at the end of their day. That is very important to us as we have young children. I really can't say enough about the quality of craftsmanship. But you don't have to take it from me, that is what our town building inspector said. So, take it from someone who does nothing but review projects every day in his job. I think it goes without saying To Do List Decks with Ron is one of the elite deck builders around. Take a look at the pictures I've uploaded....specifically the framing. The deck will be standing and everything else will be gone if we ever get hit by a hurricane. If you are looking for a deck and hate the hassles of trying to navigate quotes from various contractors, let me make it easy for you. There is only one company to call. Ask for Ron at To Do List Decks! When he is done with your project, you will feel obligated to write a review just like mine. We love our deck and you will too!

Professional and diligent…definitely have him do my next project

I only got quotes from this contractor, but gave him 5 s in the fields of value and workmanship, because his interpersonal skills were exemplary. He called me right back, was on time, was professional, diligent, and gave me like 5 different options to choose from. He s the real deal – it s only through my end the job didn t get the go ahead- but would would definitely have him do my next project

True Craftsman

We just has To Do list Decks complete a full rebuild of our deck. Ron who performed the work was a true craftsman he explained what he was doing, worked tiressly to get the job done on time. He is truly a master carpenter and takes a lot of pride in his work and it showed. We would recommend him highly and would gladly hire him again for future projects.

Went over and above what was required

Simply an outstanding job! He went over and above of what was required, on budget and on time. A true craftsman, very punctual and keeps you informed with progress reports. This man is one of the most reliable person I have had the pleasure of meeting and I have been walking this earth for 84 years!

Very conscientious…detailed/professional…kept in the loop through entire project

Ron  and his coworker Gary spent the better part of 2 weeks doing the entire job. Although that may seem like a long time they were very conscientious in wanting to make sure that the work was done in a very detailed and professional manner. Although we had some idea as to what we wanted to have done Ron took the time to explain exactly what he was going to do and also gave us some other ideas which as it turned out we decided to do (namely having a picture frame deck) He was really great in explaining what he was going to do almost on a daily basis.

Quick response….knowledgeable…professional…

Ron was quick to respond and to provide estimates for our job.  He was very knowledgeable, working with us to explore different options to meet our needs. The job was done beautifully in a professional manner and on time, despite some unexpected problems encountered along the way(quickly resolved) and the EXTREMELY HOT weather!  Much attention was paid to details and everything was cleaned up nicely.  Highly recommend TO DO LIST.

If you want a “masterpiece” deck…

If you want a “masterpiece” deck I would highly recommend “To Do List Decks”.  Ron builds overconstructed decks with great attention to detail. Over the winter of 2025-2026 Ron tore down an old collapsing deck that was substantial in size (really 5 connecting decks) and replaced it with new Trex material decking. Through rain, wind and snow, Ron got the job done and we could not be more pleased. If you are looking for the highest quality and something that will last for decades, I would suggest you contact Ron at To Do List Decks. Thanks for everything Ron!
