My name is Kelly Hanna, I own and operate Art Deck-O...welcome to our website.
My goal when I formed this company was provide fine workmanship with an emphasis on affordability. I started work in 1969 and
have been involved with the service industry for over 41 years with the last 33 right here in the Dallas area.

I started the company as Hanna Woodworks and for many years I worked by myself. I didn't
advertise until 1996 and in 2001, I hired a two man crew to build our projects. I changed the name to Art Deck-O in 2005 while we
were building the curved cedar deck pictured below. I came back after an appointment with a client and said
it was a work of art, I was told [while the guys laughed] 'no...it's a deck'! I suddenly clicked on the name in my head and the
change was made. I have always loved to put artistry first in my work and the name is perfect for describing what we do.

At Art Deck-O, we do things differently from your average contractor. First off we never use any unskilled, undocumented or
temporary laborers. The crews are manned byVern Hawkins, Troy Britton, Don Goins, Don Patton, Randy Tankersly and Marty Keating.
All materials are picked out and delivered personally by me. I am also on site everyday to insure your project is built the way it should be.
The crew members are trained builders who pay attention to detail and have an eye for the artistic details that make your project special.

We're very easy to work with and do not mind changes even during the job. There's no charge for changes unless they significantly alter the
scope of the project or the time it takes to finish. I am very good at staying on budget, important when you don't want big surprises at the
end of the project. There are also changes that can actually lower the cost of a project, something you rarely hear from a contractor! I do not
mark up lumber costs on my estimates, I know everyone else does, but I'd rather pay the crews a bit more to insure the work is right.

Recently I was asked to provide photos for an article in Professional Deck Builder Magazine about one of our projects. In mid-March we'll have
a link to the article so you can read about one of our projects. In 2002, I won second place in a national contect after submitting my first curved
Redwood deck's photos. An artistic, easy to work with, award winning company with national recognition and a reasonable price,
what more could you ask for in a company?
