Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ala and his crew did an amazing job of our deck! Our deck had some unique and odd angles which required extra expertise and they KNOCKED it outa the park! We would HIGHLY recommend him. (Also we own a Real Estate company & would without hesitation recommend this & his crew!). If you need perfection use this company!!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I signed the contract with Ala, I thought I was going to get a luxury “Lexus” deck. What I ended up with was a “Rolls Royce” deck that was built from scratch by true craftsmen where every board was cut with precision and squared in the construction of my deck. Like a Rolls Royce, my “Ala Custom Deck” has that rare old-world hand craftsmanship that is all but impossible to find today. Ala takes great pride in his decks and his business practices mirror the same type of integrity and commitment to his customers. I highly recommend Ala’s Custom Decks and I would hire Ala and his crew again in a heartbeat.

Ala’s team built us our dream deck & pergola. He worked with us through the permitting process with Falls Church City, and helped guide our rough sketches and plans to real plans. Communication was exceptional, and expectations were realistically set. We are all so impressed with how the deck turned out and would recommend Ala and his team to anyone looking to build a deck.

Omar, thank you for trusting us with your project and giving us a chance to be a little creative. It was a real joy to work on, and an even greater joy seeing it completed. We wish you and your family all the best. - AlaPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm disappointed. A friend recommended Ala's. I've filled out three queries asking them if they could contact me about a deck. It has been a week and I haven't heard anything. They must be very busy. I'm now in contact with Ala's Custom Decks - Old school phone calls seem to be the best.

I recently hired Ala and his team to replace my old deck with a new one made of composite boards. From start to finish, Ala’s passion, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail were exceptional—it truly felt like he was building his own deck. His team worked with remarkable efficiency and diligence, starting early each morning and keeping the work site spotless every day. The result was a stunning deck that far exceeded my expectations. Among the five contractors I contacted, Ala’s confidence, enthusiasm, and clear communication made him the obvious choice. He and his team members are always kind and nice. Especially, his kindness shone through when I unexpectedly requested the shed demolition right before the project began. Despite it being additional work beyond the original plan, Ala agreed without hesitation, handling it with the same care and precision as the deck. When I pointed out a concern around the chimney just before the county permit application, Ala didn’t show any annoyance—instead, he appreciated my openness and visited my home the next day to discuss solutions, showcasing his problem-solving skills and commitment to excellence. Ala’s approach to material selection was exceptional. He wasn’t pushy at all when suggesting high-end Timbertech PVC boards, instead calmly showing me the price difference for my smaller deck size. This helped me overcome preconceived barriers set by other contractors’ exorbitant quotes for premium materials, allowing me to make an informed choice based on value for money. His reasonable quote further demonstrated his commitment to delivering quality within my budget. Ala went above and beyond by managing the entire county permit process, from application to inspections, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and professionally. While digging through the patio for deck post footings was part of the job, his team’s restoration of the patio to such an impeccable standard was beyond my expectations, leaving it in better condition than I could have imagined. Their ability to leave everything immaculate was truly impressive. While Ala's Custom Decks wasn’t the least expensive option, the exceptional quality, expertise, and service he provided made him worth every penny. I would recommend Ala without any hesitation to my close friends and anyone seeking a contractor who delivers outstanding results with passion, integrity, and efficiency.

I truly appreciate your trust and look forward to you enjoying it for many years to come. - AlaPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ala was recommended to me by a coworker, and now I can highly recommend Ala and his team to anybody else looking for a new deck. We are extremely pleased with the deck he built for us in April 2025. It is apparent that Ala and the team take great pride in their work. His work and craftsmanship are meticulous. Ala helped us pick the materials for our budget, helped us troubleshoot some issues with the exterior wall of our home and some old concrete steps, and left us with a beautiful deck. Highly recommend Ala's Custom Decks.

We had a deck built for our townhouse. Ala and crew did a great job and we are very happy with the deck. They came on-site and explained how they build the deck, different material types and the extra features they will do. They were very thorough and meticulous. We highly recommend them.
