The short answer
What do VCHS customers actually say?
Veteran's Custom Home Solutions is rated 4.9 out of 5 across 43 Google reviews. All 42 reviews of four stars or better are reproduced below, published as written and attributed to the people who wrote them, spanning five years of work from July 2021 to this month.

- Named crewAdam, Jason and Cody are named personally, repeatedly
- The schedule holds“They showed up when they said they would”
- Clean site“Left the area spotless” — it comes up again and again
Where the number comes from
4.9 is Google's own average across all 43 reviews on our Business profile — not a figure we calculated and not a selection of the ones we liked. Everything below is copied from that profile word for word, down to the reviewer names, which is why a few of them read as initials.
The five things people keep writing about
42 reviews written by different people, about different projects, across five years, land on the same handful of points. Those points are worth naming, because they're the ones we actually try to be good at.
They bring us back. Thomas Shatto II is on his third project. Barb Bellew opens with “we just completed our third project with VCHS.” Lisa Sala came back four years later and edited her original review to say so. M P had us out twice. Beyond those four, Molly Pickering, Shannon Benjamin, Jacob Gibbs, Tyler Davis, Scott Wheeler and Matthew Oneal all say they'll use us again. A one-off job is easy to be pleasant through; being asked back is a harder test and it's the one we care about.
They name us. Adam, Jason and Cody appear by name throughout, because they're the people who show up. That's the difference between an owner-operated crew and a company that sells you a job and sends someone else to do it.
We finish, and we finish clean. Cris Shafer got on the schedule fast enough to have a deck ready for a special event and describes the site as left spotless. Terry Baughman mentions arriving on time and cleaning up. Molly Pickering's crew were “professional, courteous, clean, and quick.” Lisa Sala's wife raved about how clean the crew left the job. The debris leaving with us isn't an extra.
We come back for the small things. Courtney Jackson noticed a couple of minor items after her deck was finished and they were handled right away. Varun Matri sent one text and had his sorted in a couple of days — and mentions we didn't ask for the balance until it was. Shannon Benjamin's crew flagged termites they found that had nothing to do with the job they were hired for. On a build this size somebody always finds something afterward — what matters is whether anyone answers the phone.
The veteran part matters to people. B Bb was “pleased to discover Adam is a fellow veteran.” Nathan Talley says he chose us partly on price and partly because we're veteran owned. It isn't a marketing line bolted onto the side of this business; it's the reason several of these customers called in the first place.

Came out and did some basement work (took out a basement office to open up the basement and made it look great other than painting cause I can do that). Came out again and took care of some unwanted shrubbery around my property. Very pleased both times

Adam and the folks at Veterans Custom are professional and courteous every step of the way. I knew exactly what would happen with my project, when, and for how much - and they did what they said with quality craftsmanship. Exceeded my expectations in every way. I'll definitely be calling these guys again. Also, I was pleased to discover Adam is a fellow veteran.

Great company, they are fast, efficient, and reasonably priced. Excellent skills as well, my deck is well made, beautiful and sturdy. Highly recommend for all the projects.
BJ BarnhillNew deck · August 2026 -
Thank you to VCHS for our new deck! It’s wonderful and I look forward to using it a lot!! VCHS was very easy to work with, professional, on time and the price was right. I would definitely use them again.
Lee Ann KellNew deck · July 2026 -
Excellent company to work with, always returned calls promptly, always kept up to date with progress of project. Finished deck was incredible, highly recommend for your next deck project. I will certainly call VCHS with other home repair projects!
John DubreuilNew deck · July 2026 -
Appreciated the flexibility on our patio. We needed to make some dimension changes last minute and VCHS made the necessary adjustments. Follow up was timely and they provided a great finished project. Highly recommend.
Joe RodriguezPatio · July 2026 -
VCHS was professional and prompt. Their estimator found mistakes that were made with the original build of our deck that at least 3 other estimators from competing deck builders missed. That alone would have earned our business. Couple that with his courtesy and respectful manner, and we were convinced we wanted to go with this company. Lastly, the team that did the demo and rebuild were HARD working, courteous and prideful in their quality of workmanship. I highly recommend VCHS for your project.
Mike CollinsDeck rebuild · May 2026 -
Very happy with the results of our backyard project from these guys. Nice new fence, concrete patio and even went the extra mile to assemble our new shed for us. Nice folks to work with. Have already recommended them to our surrounding neighbors if they are in need of work.
Brandon WinchesterFence, patio & shed · May 2026 -
Great craftsmanship. Very prompt. Very happy with the deck they added to the house. Bree will need to work with you. Great guys strong work!
Butch LeRoyDeck addition · May 2026 -
VCHS was very easy to work with. They rebuilt our deck that had significant wood rot. Their price was reasonable. They were timely, professional, and friendly. They offered good advice on care and maintenance of the new deck. The deck looks great! I would recommend VCHS for your home repair or remodeling needs!
Jeff JanneyDeck rebuild · March 2026 -
Adam and his crew were very professional. The quote was very fair, and he doesn't try to oversell anything. The work was excellent, and the wife raved about how clean the crew left the job after the work was done. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 2/2026 Contracted with Adam and his crew again to do extensive deck and patio work for us. Very happy with his crew’s attention to detail. You can tell they take pride in their work.
Lisa SalaTwo projects · March 2026 -
The deck project was a breeze. The crew were hard working and professional. A joy to have done business with Veterans Custom.
Russell DerringerDeck · December 2025 -
The VCHS crew did a great job replacing our deck. Adam and the team went above and beyond to build exactly what we described. Communication was excellent and the team is highly skilled and reliable.
Daniel MorrisDeck replacement · November 2025 -
They built me a deck and I love it
Tammy JohnsonNew deck · November 2025 -
Detailed quality work! Always available to communicate with you to make changes for our happiness.
Joseph AndrusNovember 2025 -
VCHS is a great contractor to work with! We first had them replace our rear deck and they built us a much bigger, more functional, and better deck than we had envisioned. When my mother became wheelchair bound later the same year we had VCHS back out and they built a custom front deck with wheelchair ramp and concrete sidewalk to allow her to come live with us. Just this year we brought VCHS back to replace our old chain link fence with a new 6 foot privacy fence. Overall they are a friendly and efficient team to work with who won’t let you down!
Thomas Shatto IIThree projects · November 2025 -
We just completed our third project with VCHS. The construction, materials and service is always top notch. We will call them again.
Barb BellewThird project · November 2025 -
Did a great job.
Alice JeffresNovember 2025 -
We absolutely love our new railing on our deck! Veterans was priced fairly, arrived on time and did a fantastic job cleaning up. We would definitely use them again!
Terry BaughmanDeck railing · November 2025 -
We had a great experience working with Jason and his team on our new deck! I had a lot of questions throughout the process, and Jason was always patient, responsive, and helpful. It really stood out how much they care about doing quality work — when we noticed a couple of small things after the deck was finished, they took care of them right away to make sure we were completely happy. We absolutely love our deck and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional contractor who stands behind their work.
Courtney JacksonNew deck · October 2025 -
Respectful professional listened to what I wanted gave me lots of options very responsive.
Amanda FosterJuly 2025 -
Had some rotten siding on my house replaced. They were quick to respond to my call and did an awesome job on the house. Would happily use again!
Billy KernsSiding repair · December 2024 -
Deck project turned out perfectly and was done right the first time. Reasonable prices, speedy work, and reliable. These guys start and finish when they say they will and are super easy to work with. Highly recommended.
Scott WheelerNew deck · August 2024 -
Veterans Custom Home Solutions did a great job on our deck! The crew was friendly and worked fast.
Maddie BackesNew deck · August 2024 -
So unbelievably happy with the way our deck turned out! The workers were respectful and polite. We also had siding repairs done, the paint matches perfectly to the already established color. They pointed out other issues that we should address (termites 😳). We will be definitely using them again for future projects!
Shannon BenjaminDeck & siding · July 2024 -
We recently added stairs to our existing deck. Adam and his VCHS team did some incredible work! The job was completed in a timely manner, and the construction was very well done. They will definitely be our go to company for future projects.
Tyler DavisDeck stairs · June 2024 -
Adam and his team replaced our deck and added a patio in our back yard. He did it all in a timely, detailed way that was also affordable. I will definitely be giving them a call back for my future projects!
Jacob GibbsDeck & patio · April 2024 -
Veterans Custom Home Solutions built us a beautiful new deck. They got us on their schedule quickly, allowing us to have our new deck in time for a special event. They showed up when they said they would, built a sturdy and great looking deck with a challenging tie-in to our pool deck, and left the area spotless. I highly recommend Adam and his team at Veterans Custom Home Solutions!
Cris ShaferDeck & pool tie-in · March 2024 -
Jason and the team at VCHS did an amazing job on our fence. They answered all of our questions during the process and the end result is a new look to our yard and a fence our neighbors are jealous of! We have recommended them to a few people and they are actually doing a fence for a friend of mine in the near future. You will be very happy with the final product if you go with them, too!
Mary Ann GormlyFence · March 2024 -
They did a wonderful job on my fence ! Fast and perfect work ! We will definitely be using them again in the future !
Matthew OnealFence · February 2024 -
Adam, Cody, and the team at VCHS brought our vision to life and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. They were all in constant communication throughout the entire process and we were never in doubt that our deck would be anything other than exactly what we imagined. We highly recommend them for your next project no matter the size.
Cam CecilNew deck · October 2023 -
Veteran’s Custom Home Solutions did an amazing job on building a new fence and gates for us! It looks amazing and they were great to work with! Very very pleased customer!
Melissa WestermanFence & gates · June 2023 -
We had an addition and stairs added to our existing deck. Jason and team did an amazing job from start to finish. Jason came out multiple times to talk with my husband about the placement of the stairs and answered every text I had very timely. We had angst about the stairs due to the slope of our yard, but it turned out perfect! The crew did an amazing job, were professional, courteous, clean, and quick! We love how they did the seam so it matches right up to the existing deck. Can’t wait to get it all one color and enjoy this for years to come! Thanks guys! Will DEFINITELY be using you for future projects.
Molly PickeringDeck addition & stairs · April 2023 -
Adam, Jason, and their team did an exceptional job on my recent basement remodel. We had great communication throughout, expectations and costs were clearly outlined and agreed upon throughout the process. The team was always prompt, respectful, and hard working. I couldnt be more pleased with how my lower level and sports bar turned out! I would highly recommend these guys for your next remodeling project.
C SBasement & sports bar · March 2023 -
My wife and I decided to go with VCHS for our deck rebuild both because of great pricing but also because they’re veteran owned. We’re very happy with the service we received and are ecstatic to have a great looking deck again.
Nathan TalleyDeck rebuild · December 2022 -
We got our house painted with VCHS. we had a hiccup with the color but VCHS responded quick and worked with us to get the color resolved. The work was done quick and everyone loves the house. The house is beautiful and I could’ve happier.
Jessica DExterior painting · June 2022 -
The Best choice I made for my deck replacement. They are Professional, customer centric and their response to communication is just awesome. Adam would respond to my calls/texts promptly and answer any question with great detail. The guys showed up on time and the workmanship was just great. I was very cautious with my selection for this project since I had a bad experience with a different company for a project back in 2020 - I made a good decision selecting VCHS. They gave me the best quote which was realistic considering how the lumber costs fluctuated. There were a few small things I found, that had to be fixed few days after they were done building the deck. I just had to send one text message and Adam made sure it was fixed promptly in a couple of days. They didn't even ask me to pay the balance amount until "everything" was taken care of and made sure I was happy. I strongly recommend VCHS since they know what they are doing, experience and customer focus. They know how to keep their customers happy, which is hard to find these days.
Varun MatriDeck replacement · October 2021 -
VCHS was such a great company to work with. They made sure the materials were on time, work was done correctly, and all messes were cleaned up. They contacted me each day of the project to make sure I was satisfied. They were professional, courteous, and great communicators. I would gladly hire them again.
Sara BurgenerAugust 2021 -
Very satisfied! There attention to detail was great. Our house looks a lot better after we had them paint.
Jim ShipleyExterior painting · August 2021 -
Absolute excellence! Professional, meticulous and very detailed with the job they do to your house. Worth every penny and I believe their prices are very fair. I recommend them 100%.
Thalia DiazAugust 2021 -
Adam and his crew did an AMAZING job constructing our new deck. They even extended it, an additional 2 ft. They are very responsive, and worked extremely hard to finish the deck in the agreed upon time. If you’re in the market for a new deck, we highly recommend that you contact VCHS!!

Common questions
Are these reviews real?
Yes. All 42 of them are Google reviews, copied across word for word and attributed to the people who wrote them, names exactly as Google shows them. The link at the top of this page goes straight to the profile so you can read them at the source. We don't edit them and we don't write them.
Why does the page say 42 reviews when Google says 43?
Because this page lists every review of four stars or better, and that is 42 of the 43. The 4.9 average at the top of the page is Google's own figure across all 43, not an average of the ones we chose to reproduce.
Can I talk to a past customer?
Ask when you call. Several of our customers have offered, and a few of the people below have already sent friends and neighbours our way — one of them mentions it in her review.
What do people complain about?
The most common note in these reviews isn't a complaint, it's small things spotted after the job that we came back and fixed. Courtney Jackson and Varun Matri both describe it directly, and Varun mentions we didn't ask for the balance until it was sorted.
We'd rather that be the pattern than have nobody find anything, because on a build this size somebody always finds something. What matters is whether the contractor is still answering the phone when they do.
