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.

We were impressed with John from the very beginning. We spoke with numerous deck companies who gave exorbitant quotes after only taking a cursory look at our existing deck. Based on the good luck I had with Thumbtack around that time, I decided to reach out to John. He was thorough in his quote, which was reasonable, and spent a good deal of time making recommendations on our deck project. We ended up wanting to rebuild the base of the deck, and John handled the entire building inspection process. His craftsmanship is A+. He is a perfectionist. Our family member, who is an engineer and licensed general contractor (and also a perfectionist), could not stop raving about John’s work product and the craftsmanship. John even noticed that one of the boards was scratched and came back at a later date to replace it. We have spent the last 8 months renovating our house and after using various contractors and meeting with even more for quotes, John was a breath of fresh air. We are incredibly impressed and grateful for such a great job on our new Trex deck. We’ll be recommending John to our friends!

Needed a few repairs made on my garage and balcony and he made it happen. No complaints at all. Got it done in less than a day and brought a helper. The damage he was repairing was gone and it's as good as new.

Not only was the quality and durability of the fence outstanding but the team worked through the weekend to get the job done in such a timely manner we were shocked. They would show up early and stay late. Hard working and top quality craftsmanship. We will def use them again for future jobs!

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.
