A recent Google customer said their new deck from Custom Decks by Shatmire turned out beautiful. Decks are the business here: its own site says it designs and builds composite decks, screen rooms, porches, pool decks and outdoor living spaces, and the company says it has 20 years in business. Its stated service area includes Auburn, Bedford, Derry, Hooksett and Londonderry. A 2023 customer wrote that Jeff and Melissa at Shatmire were a husband and wife team who specialized in building decks. A 2025 customer said Jeff, Melissa and the crew worked with the town and inspector on the variance and permit applications, and kept the yard clean. A 2025 reviewer wrote that a project with Melissa and Jeff covered a new deck, a screened-in room and two door replacements. A 2024 customer said Jeff worked with their dock man to make sure the connection between their waterfront deck and the dock was problem-free. A 2024 reviewer said the deck being replaced had been barely attached to the house for over 20 years, and that when they asked about a stair railing at the end of the project, Shatmire offered to add it with a cap light. A 2023 customer said the black anodized aluminum rails they wanted each had to be cut to size individually, and that a cocktail rail went on top on three sides. A 2023 reviewer said they built two large decks, front steps, a front patio and a new set of steps from the garage into the house; that customer mentioned minor delays but said they were not in a hurry. A 2023 customer said they came out at no charge to temporarily fix water leaking into the house at the front deck, and also fixed a downspout.

Our new deck turned out absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations! From start to finish, the entire experience was fantastic. I would highly recommend Custom Decks by Shatmire to anyone looking for quality workmanship, professionalism, and a great overall experience.
The product, the process and the people. Having worked with many contractors on various home projects, Jeff and Melissa far exceeded our expectations from our very first meeting. They had outstanding communication throughout the entire process as well as a full understanding of our vision for our new deck. Their skill, creativity, and dedication to the highest quality created a deck experience better than we could ever have imagined. In addition to having the highest level of skill and knowledge of their craft, we can also say that it was an absolute pleasure to have them working on our home. We offer our most sincere recommendation to have Jeff, Melissa and their team of Jaxson and Dillan make your outdoor dream a reality. Our deepest gratitude to team Shatmire
Jeff, Melissa, and the whole crew at Shatmire were excellent from start to finish. They professionally handled everything thrown at them throughout our project. From working with the town and inspector on the variance and permit applications, to bringing our project vision to life, they exceeded expectations every step of the way. They consistently kept us updated with what they were doing each day and when they’d be working. They kept our yard clean and were very respectful while on our property. The attention to detail was outstanding, even the small finishing touches that could’ve been overlooked were done right. We are incredibly happy with the end result and would recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their current deck space.
If you’re trying to figure out if Shatmire is the right contractor for you — this is your sign to stop searching and hire them. Seriously. We just wrapped up a huge project with Melissa and Jeff — a new deck, a screened-in room, and two door replacements — and working with them was hands-down the best decision we made for our home. From day one, they went above and beyond in every way. They helped us figure out exactly what we wanted, explained all our options in plain English, and were upfront about what every choice meant for our budget, timeline, and the final result. We never felt pressured — just genuinely supported by true pros who cared as much about our home as we do. Their attention to detail is unmatched. I know this because they even managed to one-up my husband — who notices everything — by catching things before he did and making sure it was done right the first time. That kind of care and pride in their work is so rare, and it made all the difference. They were also amazing with our dog, who decided she was part of the crew and would just hang out and “help” them work every day. They treated her like family and never minded her supervising every move — it made the whole experience feel even more personal and comfortable. The whole team treated our home like it was their own. They kept the site tidy, stayed on schedule, communicated constantly, and turned what could have been a stressful experience into something we actually enjoyed watching come together. Trust me: good, honest contractors do exist, and Shatmire is the proof. We know for sure we wouldn’t be this happy with our home if we hadn’t worked with them, and we’re already dreaming up our next project just so we can work with them again. If you want quality work, clear communication, and people you can trust completely — call Shatmire. You’ll be so glad you did.
Jeff and Melissa compete in the same market as me building beautiful backyard spaces however in the same breadth we don’t consider each other competitors but rather colleagues. Whether we are trading emergency supply runs or bouncing ideas off each other for best installation methods it’s nice to have a local team so passionate about the work we all do. If only more small businesses were run this way….
