We contracted with Dennis Roberts and his construction company to build a screened-in porch on the back
of our house about 5 years ago. We could not have been more pleased with Dennis, his crew of workers,
and the porch he built for us. The quality of the work was excellent and the porch is beautiful. (It expands
our living area a lot. ) Dennis was so pleasant to work with and his word was his bond. His crew was
exceptional: every member was hard-working, polite, and neat. The work was completed very expeditiously.
Dennis responded immediately to any question or concern that we had because he wants you to be totally
satisfied. I have heard the horror stories of some peoples’ experiences with home improvement projects. In
contrast, our experience could not have been better. If we were undertaking another such project, I would
call Dennis Roberts in a heartbeat.

In just 30 days you completed our sun room! From start to finish your crews were not only timely, but very
professional. I am a Real Estate Developer and I have building skills, so I watched with interest the quality of
work that was done. My wife and I were very satisfied. We made several changes during construction and
you accommodated us each time. Your building costs were very competitive, yet you did not “skimp” on the
quality of building materials. Our neighbors could not believe you could build our sun room in 30 days and
even with several rain days! If we ever decide to remodel or build any other structure onto our home we
would definitely call InsideOut Construction.

Dennis- Just a quick note to tell you that we appreciate the job you did for us. We contemplated our project
for many years. We could not get it laid out in our minds. We had visions but none of the people that came
out to meet with us, (4 contractors before you), were helping us with design. When you were referred to
us, I called you. You had much more creative vision than we were hoping for, and our large deck, (17 by 35’
or so) has some very distinctive characteristics that we would of never thought of but that we feel makes our
design top notch and unique. We have enjoyed our deck for 4 years or so now and I would definitely call
you when/if we contemplate an addition in the future.

Our screen porch is fabulous!! As soon as we saw the photos on InsideOut Construction’s website, we knew
this was exactly what we wanted. After meeting Dennis and hearing each other’s ideas for our dream porch,
he was as excited as we were to get started! We honestly could not be happier with our finished porch!! It is
beautiful, incredibly well-built, and impeccably finished down to every little detail. Dennis and his staff are
wonderful! After our porch, stone walkway, and patio were finished; we were sad to see them go! Our screen
porch brings us joy everyday – best decision we ever made!

We are more than happy with the screened in porch and deck extension that Dennis and team completed for
us late summer 2009-it is really FANTASTIC. These guys are true craftsmen and bring a level of perfection
and quality to everything they do, that I thought did not exist any more. We had our porch extended and then
screened in. It involved joining the new roof with the existing one and you cannot even tell that it was added
after the house was built. They are 100% reliable and I could pretty much set my clock by the time they would
arrive in the morning and they kept the schedule totally on track. The subcontractors-were so great
too-especially the painters who seemed to spend forever filling and sealing but when they finally painted you
can now hardly see any of the wood joints. I cannot recommend these guys enough and I will certainly use
them again. I feel like we have a wonderful addition to the house we can enjoy daily and a great investment
that will help us to sell our house in the future… totally win-win. I will definitely use them again-no doubt!

When my wife and I decided to invest in a home addition I was excited and set off to research options. As a
project manager by trade one of my key tasks was to find a contractor that was a good fit. First, I found that
there were not many professionally licensed outfits that were reputable and operated like a business. I didn’t
want a sole proprietor looking for odd jobs and I didn’t want a large-scale home builder. When Dennis came
to the house he came across as both experienced, professional, knowledgeable, and real. We planned out
my specific needs, but he also took time to brainstorm potential future project ideas as well. I selected
InsideOut Construction for a balanced fit of quality, price, credibility, and experience. In the end I was
pleased with my selection. The quality was top notch and the room addition and screened porch was so well
integrated as “additions” many are surprised to hear that they weren’t part of the original house plan. Costs
were kept within agreed budget and any changes were communicated and agreed along the way. Dennis
and his crew have a strong work ethic and produce a good end product. I have referred others to Dennis
and would select InsideOut Construction for future jobs.

We did what we feel was a thorough investigation before selecting Dennis and InsideOut as our contractor
to build our screened in porch. We had three estimates and Dennis came in at the middle. It wasn’t price
that convinced us that Dennis “was our man”…. It was Dennis. We immediately felt at ease with both
Dennis’ demeanor and expertise. His ability to listen to our concerns and make recommendations were very
comforting….we were able to easily see his vision by the way he communicated suggestions and listened to
our concerns…. Dennis was always accessible during the project and was careful to listen to and accept
change requests or recommend reasonable alternatives. The project came in on time and actually cost less
than we expected. We could not be more happy with the results. We not only have enjoyed the large
screened in porch but were so happy that we called Dennis and InsideOut back to build a large deck
extension. Thank you, Dennis, and InsideOut Construction for your professionalism and quality work.

When we were ready for a new deck we chose InsideOut Construction for a couple of reasons. We were
impressed with Dennis Roberts and his approach to quality construction, and InsideOut Construction was
willing to design our decking to the exact specifications that we requested. Their approach to detail and
workmanship during construction made the building of our deck the talk of the neighborhood. We ended
up with a magnificent outdoor living space that not only was completed in a timely manner, but the quality of
the work was outstanding. If you are considering a new deck, consider contacting Inside/Out Construction.

We could not be more pleased with our screened porch. Dennis listened to our opinions and gave us a
product that is strikingly beautiful and well-designed. The construction management was flawless and we
felt we were in good hands during the entire project.

We LOVE our 1st floor master suite! Dennis and Brandon were excellent to work with – honest, user
friendly, willing to work with us on options during the construction process and willing to follow up on minor
items at the end.

We selected InsideOut Construction for our screened porch project for two primary reasons. First, their
solution and design proposal was more creative and practical than the other bidders for this project.
Secondly, their pricing was very competitive and even substantially lower than a couple bidders. The work
itself was completed on a timely basis, exactly in the time frame in their proposal. The workers were very
cordial and our disruptions were minimal during construction. We are very satisfied with the finished porch
and have recommended InsideOut to several of our neighbors contemplating construction projects. I would
be happy to discuss and recommend InsideOut to any potential customers.

We are extremely pleased with our new favorite room – the custom screened porch built by InsideOut
Construction. Their attention to detail and quality in craftsmanship was outstanding. We wanted the
addition to enhance both our enjoyment and value of our home. InsideOut Construction provided us with a
porch that met both of these objectives with flying colors. This addition doesn’t look like an “addition”… it
looks like it was part of the original home design. Three years later, the porch still looks wonderful.
Dennis was a terrific ally and invaluable resource as we planned our project. Our home backs up to a
wetlands buffer area for which we needed to apply for a building variance. Dennis contacted the
appropriate authorities, scheduled a meeting with them at our home, and quickly guided us through the red
tape and design processes. He provided us with a design that we loved and was approved by the local
authorities. The InsideOut Construction crew was very professional and friendly and a pleasure to have
around our family. They arrived early, worked hard, and cleaned the site every day. Dennis visited often
and quickly addressed any questions or requests that we had. From planning to finish, InsideOut
Construction exceeded our expectations.

A finished attic is a substantial investment in any home and my wife and I interviewed several contractors
before deciding on one that could make our dream a reality. Even during the initial consultation, Dennis
Roberts of InsideOut Construction immediately showed an attention to detail that most of the others simply
lacked. Dennis did more than simply frame and create a new living space – he was able to add additional
value to the project by helping to clarify our vision and by suggesting features that make our attic a much
more useful space than we could have ever imagined. The continuous attention to detail is evident in the look
and feel of the room today. He and his crew were always courteous, demonstrated tremendous flexibility to
the changes we requested, and met our every expectation during the project. We would not hesitate to
recommend them.

My experience with InsideOut was nothing but exemplary. While there were minor issues during construction,
Dennis always took care of everything and made things right. I would say that the pinnacle of the project
came when I met the Town of Apex inspector to get the approval. He said, “I wish all of the jobs that I inspect
would look as good as this one. It would make my work much easier. You picked an excellent contractor for
your work!” Thanks Dennis, our screened in patio is now our favorite room in the house.
