Ebony's core strength is consistency: reviewers experience thorough communication, timely completion, and polished finishes across 3-season rooms, screened porches, and deck rebuilds. Staff (notably Breno, Fran, and Barbara) guide projects through permits and design choices with professionalism and patience. One recent complaint flagged a month-long quote delay, but 99% of reviews praise fair prices, clean jobsites, and craftwork that exceeds expectations. Projects range from TimberTech deck resurfacing to full Eze-Breeze sunrooms with electrical and fireplaces. Breno appears as owner and main contact; crew members show up on schedule and leave sites tidy each day. Reviewers frequently recommend them without hesitation and report plans to return for future work.

Homeowners consistently report finishing projects on schedule with the foreman and crew available to answer questions and solve unexpected problems. Named staff like Kyle, Nathan, Alex, and Jon build composite decks and screened porches that reviewers describe as high-quality and low-maintenance, with transparent pricing and design renderings that set clear expectations upfront. The business handles everything from initial consultation through final cleanup, bringing in specialized experts when needed (like the SunSpace window installer for a three-season room conversion). Reviewers across multiple seasons and project types cite fast turnarounds-one patio delivered in a week-and a culture where no question feels foolish. No significant complaints surface in recent reviews.

Reviewers consistently report that Exterior Additions delivers exactly what was promised, with crews who show up on time, explain each phase, and solve problems without extra costs. Staff like Doug, Tyler, Jared, Shane, Mike, and Bryan are named repeatedly for their knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care; county inspectors have specifically praised the build quality, and projects from over a decade ago still stand up with minimal wear. The company handles complex jobs smoothly, from Eze-Breeze window systems to Trex decking to metal louvered pergolas, often improving on customers' original designs. Long-term responsiveness sets them apart: customers years later still get quick replies to questions, and warranty service (like free screen replacement after squirrel damage) is done without hesitation.
