Reviews in Tampa Bay for Porch Railing Installation
Ron Puckett Const. Inc.
This man presented the most dreadful workmanship I've ever seen. He was supposed to build wooden porch railings, add column covers and replace some rotted wood on a door frame. I showed him pictures of porch railings that I liked and talked to him in detail about finishes. I requested cedar because of its durability but, the wood he got was the cheaper rough cedar and he did not bother to smooth or sand it at all, the primer was just slapped on this unfinished wood. The rail pieces he brought to my house was the ugliest unfinished woodwork I've ever seen. Some of the wood had old looking yellowish paint on them and I was able to push my finger through a whole on a handrail piece, it was soft and looked rotted. It looked like some of that wood came from a scrap pile. When I expressed my disappointment about the workmanship and finishes, not once he offered to fix the railings, he just kept saying "this is what you order, this is what you signed, it's in the contract" and he got upset when I told him that I will not accept the pieces he build. When I said that I will get my neighbor who is a furniture builder to come and see the railings, Mr. Puckett quickly threw the pieces on to his truck bed, now visibly upset barking at me how much time he wasted putting it all that together and that I have to pay for him. I started to feel uneasy and wrote a check for $360. He left the column covers in place but, after closer inspection, I discovered paint runs, peeling paint, rough edges and caps and they are all about 3" shorter than the columns. The next day I wrote him an email saying that because of the poor quality he can come and pick up the column covers as well and I told him that I canceled the check. His response was a quote: "the 360.00 was for the cost of material just not the pine but the cedar that I took to the dump because I have no use for it. I spent 14 hours fabricating what you signed for in contract. If you cancel that check I will sue you for full amount of contract". Unfortunately, he was fast enough to cash that check. Please be aware, do not hire this man.

Wow, wow he did an outstanding job instilling railing on our front porch. He came prepared to give a quote but we hired him on the spot after he gave us suggestions on the best way to install and saved us hundreds of dollars. The guy knows his craft.

DEAN BILLE
Dean and Chris were fantastic. The were on time, fast and did great work. Our heavy glass front doors were hanging incorrectly with gaps and seals falling apart. We had them replace all the hinges and seals. We can no longer see out the bottom of our doors! The front porch railings were rotting and had to be rebuilt. We had our back ones replaced a few years ago and it took the guy at least a week to complete the job and Dean did it in a few hours and did it better!

I had to be away on the day that the repair was to be done, but that was not a problem, since it was all outdoor work. When I returned home, it appeared that no work had been done. It turned out that the workman found a different area of rot on a different porch, and fixed that! On the second trip, he repaired the original area, so all in all, we got more than we expected, still at a very reasonable price. They were pleasant to communicate with and generally very responsive.

He fixed the wood railing and painted. Prime and paint required more than the 2 hours that I purchased resulting in the cost increase. HE completed the job in a timely and professional manner.

Boyle's Aluminum & Screening
The technicians arrived early on morning they stated they would come in phone call nearly a month earlier. They worked on the railing cuts out by their truck to avoid metal shavings around the pool area after which they connected the two identical sets of railings in two separate locations into the existing pavers. They also shored an existing horizontal railing on the upper lanai. Workmanship was excellent. I did suggest dustpan and brush for bits of shavings on the steps rather than a blower, which would have put the shavings into the pool.

HandiWorx, Inc
Chris and his team were on time, kept to schedule and were the best value quote. I would recommend Handiworx and will use them again.

Exterior Concepts
I have used this company several times for porch renovations and exterior woodwork like railings and stairways. They have good pricing, good communication, come when they are scheduled, and do outstanding work. We had Andrew do most of the work and he is a true craftsman and artist with both envisioning what we had to do and getting it done quickly.
