Dan was easy to work with and guided us in the process of choosing materials for the redesign of our deck. His crew was very professional and produced a high quality and solid product. The job was completed on schedule.

Exceptionally high quality in every regard. Strong commitment to detail, customer satisfaction, and quality of work. The crew always showed up on time, they were professional and respectful, and ensured 100% satisfaction with the end product. Can’t say enough good things about this company! We will be using them for many projects in the future.

Dan helped with our kitchen remodeling. This is before he decided to focus solely on outdoor. His attention to detail and making sure everything fit exactly as it should, resulted in the kitchen we envisioned and thoroughly enjoy! He always kept us in the loop of what the next steps were and timing. And he stayed on budget!

My new deck looks fantastic. Dan is thoughtful and meticulous, and worked with me to get exactly what I want.

Dan was professional, provided excellent ideas, and listened to us as clients. The custom work completed on our home exceeded our expectations & we highly recommend this business to anyone who is considering a home or outdoor living project!

We LOVE our new spaces!!! Dan and his team are awesome. Northern Outdoor Living added a garage with a deck on top. The deck is 24×24 and includes lighted railings (multiple colors), several gas lines so that we are able to easily rearrange gas features, a creative diamond pattern in the center with picture framing around the outside. Inside the old garage (no longer can be called that) Northern Outdoor Living arranged for a stamped concrete floor that looks like wood, worked with Hot Springs to install a Swimspa and then built a beautiful deck with custom designed railings. The deck includes custom cubbies for storing towels and swim toys, a crawl space for storage and pool equipment. Northern Outdoor Living also built a wine room and added a patio door for access to our lower patio, and custom built an extremely creative dartboard. These spaces all required different technologies. The requirements were properly researched before installation. We have no issues with water in the Swimspa room even after it is drenched from playing and splashing, the room is dry by morning. We enjoy entertaining in all these different spaces. Great work Northern Outdoor Living!!!

We had a great experience from start to finish. Dan was quick and responsive. He walked through all of the options for materials, design, and colors. Dan quoted when he could do the job and how many days it would take, and they did it. The entire team was professional and kept the job site clean. Finally, Dan made sure we were happy with the final results. He even covered the cost of something that he had accidentally omitted in the initial quote. Thanks Dan!

Very professional. Dan and Tom are very creative and built us a deck that is not only built to last, but beautiful. They made sure that everything was done the way we wanted it to look. They helped us with awesome suggestions to make our deck even more unique and comfortable.

Dan and his team @ Northern Outdoor Living built our family a deck that went beyond our expectations! We couldn’t be happier with the results!!! The look of my house and yard has increased dramatically. I get compliments whenever I have visitors over and I’ve recommended them to everyone that asks.

Dan Pettit and his Northern Outdoor Living guys replaced the flooring, handrail system, and fascia on our old deck. He was responsive when we asked him for a proposal and then a bid. He proposed a limestone epoxy material that provided us a deck flooring with no risk of deterioration. He designed an attractive deck with accent borders and main decking material. He replaced the old wooden handrail with an aluminum rail-and-cable system that has very much improved our view. He suggested an expanded fascia covering on the deck piers and main beam. His price was competitive. Best of all, his group came when they said they would, they completed the job quickly and on schedule. They worked every day except one from the start of the project to its completion. The quality of work was outstanding. We highly recommend Northern Outdoor Living and Dan Pettit, its owner.

Dan and his team at Northern Outdoor Living recently redesigned and replaced our deck. Dan had great ideas and designed a beautiful deck for us. He and his team are highly skilled, personable, and professional. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to give their outdoor living spaces an improvement.

Dan and the crew were onsite during the most challenging winter weather week all year. They assured me the job was still in progress immediately after heavy snowfalls. Digging out our site to build a new deck we desperately needed off a four season’s addition. The project looks amazing and we are pleased with the prompt, hardworking crew at Northern Outdoor Living. Would definitely recommend this team.

Dan worked closely with us in the design process and came up with an eye-catching design that we like very much. Dan and his crew worked very well together. Excellent attention to detail. Quality workmanship. Reliable. Very easy to work with. Good communication. We are delighted with our new deck!

Northern Outdoor Living replaced our deck of 33 years in May of 2022. We were extremely pleased with the work that their team did!! Very creative, unique design for our composite decking with very high quality work, especially with great precision in the angles. The workers had mutual respect for each other and worked well together with great communication with us! The work site was always cleaned up at the end of the day! We would highly recommend Northern Outdoor Living for any outdoor project you want well done! It was a joy to work with them!

The Northern Outdoor Living Team worked with us to create an outdoor space for our new construction home. We had no deck at all, just a patio door. We had basic ideas like needing an enclosed portion to escape from mosquitoes and an open deck. They offered ideas and products to make our deck and screened in porch awesome! They listened to what we wanted and they were wonderful to work with. We are so happy that we found them! The renderings they made helped us to envision what they could do. They made sure we were happy with our project. They are friendly, wonderful people and we continue to recomend them to others.

We sure are glad we selected Northern Outdoor Living to renovate our back deck. He is the Best! Dan listened to us to determine the best approach to replace the railings, steps, and deck flooring. The finished product was just Amazing. The crew was punctual, professional, experienced and courteous. They kept us informed throughout the project. We HIGHLY recommend Dan for all your Deck projects.

I highly recommend this company for any outdoor project you have.

Dan and his crew were AMAZING to work with! We needed portions of our deck redone-including stairs and railings-to make it fully maintenance free. The stairs proved to be a bit more challenging than initially anticipated, but they just kept problem-solving the issue for the best results possible where others may have just covered it up to get the job done. I am fully confident in the quality work they’ve done for us and highly recommend Northern Outdoor Living to anyone who needs a deck or patio. We will definitely use them again in the future.

Dan and his team did a fantastic job. We worked together to come up an idea and Dan brought the idea to life. The project was completed on time and with a high level of detail and professionalism. If I have to do another deck (or outdoor living space) I’m calling Dan at Northern Outdoor Living.

Dan and his team did a great job with our deck. All of our questions were answered promptly and Dan was very easy to work with. We’ve already received multiple compliments on our new deck and feel confident in the quality and craftsmanship of the work. We highly recommend Northern Outdoor Living.

Northern Outdoor exceeded my expectations with their impeccable craftsmanship. The decks and dock they built for me are nothing short of perfection. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality are commendable. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend them for any outdoor construction projects.

Dan was a lifesaver. I needed to deal with a very old deck that needed to be replaced in order to sell my house.. He was fabulous to work with – helping me figure out what I could do with my budget. The finished product is amazing
