We had a fantastic experience working with Ivan and his team. We had a few backyard projects going on at the time and Ivan was flexible with our project dates and worked great with other contractors we had at the house. Their attention to detail was outstanding and we love our new Trex stairs (updated an old wooden patio). Would recommend Ivan and team to anyone looking for a new deck. 5 stars across the board for workmanship, attention to detail, and communication!

About Swanson Design & Construction
I’m Ivan — you can call me John — owner of Swanson Design & Construction. I’m a licensed and insured residential contractor serving the Charlotte area. I have a background in residential construction, including experience working on house builds, and hold a Civil Engineering degree earned in my home country. That foundation, combined with local licensing, hands-on experience, and a reliable crew, allows me to take on a wide range of residential projects — from outdoor structures like decks and porches to larger additions, garages, and new home construction. In my work and in life, my main priorities are honesty and attention to detail — that’s what guide the way we build and the way we work with clients.

Great communication and punctual professional job completed. I’ll be working with Swanson again for future projects need at my home
I live in the Charlotte area and needed a porch column replaced. Swanson Design & Construction did a great job. Column replaced for a reasonable price, looks great and same as what I had before, which is what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend them.
Was not expressing to pay for an estimate. Many companies provide free estimates. I would shop around before contacting this company.
Repeat customer, happy with the work and professionalism!
He added a screened in patio onto the existing concrete slab and added some electrical. It took a little over 3 weeks. he took care of scheduling all permits and inspections. his crew was very friendly and did their best to limit disruptions. finished product looks great!
It was fantastic to work with John and his crew. He provided me with different options and respective quotes to consider and the quality of construction and work has been stellar. Would absolutely recommend John for your screened in porch and patio work needs.
The work done on our porch far exceeded our expectations. John and his team did an amazing job replacing all the wood on our front porch. We had a lot of rotten wood from tearing down old wood and replacing with all new wood the job was seamless. The workmanship is top notch. We are very pleased the work added so much to our home. They were punctual, very detailed oriented and cleaned everything up after each days work. We will definitely be using John in the future for any other projects we may need.
Excellent craftsmanship. We are very happy with how our deck and screened in porch turned out. Ivan was very professional and made sure to ask questions to find out the exact deck we had envisioned. Him and his team are very hardworking and precise. The end result: we couldn't be happier. Our extended family was blown away and we are looking forward to using it for a very long time.
I hired John to rebuild my back deck and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first estimate, he was completely transparent about the process, timeline, and costs - no surprises whatsoever. The quality of his work is outstanding. You can immediately tell this is someone who takes genuine pride in his craftsmanship and won’t cut corners. The attention to detail shows in every aspect of the finished deck. John’s professionalism and commitment to delivering a high-quality product really set him apart. I’d absolutely hire him again for future projects and recommend him without hesitation.
Wow! My back patio was rotting and completely falling apart. After hiring this company, it is absolutely GORGEOUS. It’s really unrecognizable. They were very quick to answer any questions and finished the project ahead of time. They even scheduled their work around a backyard event I had planned! I would recommend these folks to anyone thinking about adding or repairing their patio/decks.
John did a wonderful job rebuilding and refreshing our front porch. He was very responsive, efficient and did wonderful work. Would strongly recommend!
Excellent quality work. I can't write enough good things about the work these guys did building our roofed in deck. I highly recommend them
John did a fantastic job with our deck. We wanted an expanded deck, replace stairs off both the deck and screened in porch, new railings, something different other than lattice at the bottom and new screening. He replaced the whole deck and upgraded the screening and rails on the porch and deck and replaced the steps. He replaced the lattice work, which turned out very well. We were very pleased with the results. He was very attentive to any questions we had and completed the job in the time frame alloted. We highly recommend his craftsmanship and precision work.
Ivan's work is very neat and precise, which was appreciated in this repair project for an older deck. I had a set of stairs that had rotted and other rails that were in bad shape, which caused some safety concerns. Ivan made suggestions within my budget to improve the deck and make it not only more functional and safer, but also more stylish. Ivan's work looks great and I'm excited to enjoy the upgrades. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing carpentry work.
Ivan and his team helped create a beautiful patio addition onto our house. The care and attention is evident in the structure. They worked long days and in turn were able to give us a finished job in a little over 2 weeks. The cost was more than fair and the work exceeds expectations. It is not often you find people with a work ethic and integrity like these guys. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience and will be asking them to return when we have another project in mind. :)
Ivan/John and team did a wonderful job replacing our large deck. Unfortunately a neighbor’s diseased tree demolished about 50% of our deck recently. Fortunately we made the decision to work with Ivan to replace it all from the ground up. We couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the work. We would whole heartedly recommend.
I found John on Nextdoor and he had a slew of 5 star recommendations. I was in need of a relatively major deck repair where the stairs needed to be removed to replace the board behind the stairs. He was extremely responsive, prompt, and did extremely quality work in a short period of time. Would definitely strongly recommend!
John was great! Showed up on time, worked hard and efficiently. Did great work at a fair price. Would happily hire him again in the future! 2nd story deck rebuild.
Anyone looking for an experience Carpenter that will produce quality products look no further call Ivan Swanson. We have gotten our deck repaired two years in a row to our dissatisfaction. I found Ivan on next door. He had excellent reviews. Ivan did not disappoint. He takes pride in his work, and it shows we already have future projects in mind he is a keeper. Forgot to mention if you’re looking for a better price, you won’t find it. His price is more than fair. Contact information is ivanleb@inbox.ru
