Warren Deck Waterproofing

The work ethic of this women can not be matched. Her crew is out standing. I was home throughout most of the job, and I never seen them sit down. the crew were very nice, and professional, they also were big on using products that were safe for my yard and landscaping. I could not believe how much time they spent on prepping my building. I was worried about that, because anyone can paint, but she had everyone sanding all of my boards down, and making them smooth, and caulked and sealed every part of my home.. The best part was the clean up, They did not spill one drop of paint in the yard or anywhere else. Maria was very contentious of keeping my garage clear of her equipment, and at the end of everyday she took all of her tools and brushes home to clean, never at my house. It was a little more than I wanted to pay, but worth every cent. They put 3 coats of paint on everything, and I took advantage of her color designer, who was also a huge asset to us. Great Job!

Holt Construction gave us a quote, we accepted and they put us on their schedule. They called to let us know when they were coming to install the deck and came on the day promised. It was completed in 1/2 a day. We used the deck that night and love it!

Frank did a wonderful job. He is a very hard worker.  He is clever with designing spaces and using a variety of weather resistant materials.

Maria was great, I had to make this review, even though I am not a computer person, but she deserves he recognition. Maria showed up here, very short women, but a power house, she gave me a price and the work began within 3 days. I couldn't believe my eyes, she is a total power house, she climbed up a 40 foot ladder like she was fearless, and when I seen her grab it, I offered my help, and all he crew members said, oh don't worry she is stronger than all of us, I laughed, Anyway, my house was so perfectly painted and changed so much, invited guest were passing my house, because they did no recognize it. Her crew was very respectful of her, and hey all shared laughs, and accomplished allot. They were always professional, and the work, and work ethic, was flawless. he crew always dressed in Company shirts, and what I liked the most, their construction did not affect me a all, their ladders and supplies were always out of the way and did no block sidewalks, and at the end of the day, all stuff was cleaned up, and her equipment, locked behind my garage, not in it. Maria became friends with me and my wife, and we told her we would be upset if she did not stop and visit in the future, we loved her passion for her work, and personality is respectful, sweet, but fierce

 I met Maria , and right away I knew she was the right person for the job. It is scarey hiring peple to be in your home. However, she had such a can do attitude, that it was infectious. I loved the fact that when she came into my home, she used protective booties over her sneakers to protect my floors from getting dirty. I showed Maria the project, I wanted a new kitchen, I was nercous about her enthousiatic plans, but trusted her. Maria removed everything from my kitchen, she removed a complete wall, and rebuilt one about 18 inches back, giving me so much extra room, then she repaired walls, and installed my new cabinets, and instead of having this big table in my way, I couldnt believe this could happen, but she installed a wonderful breakfast bar type table, I am able to fit 4 stool under it, and it is connected to my wall, this gave me extra space in my kitchen, and the space is wide open to my living room, so the breakfast bar honestly seperated my rooms, which I love. and she installed the cubboards to fit right down on top of the new fridge, which is also great since I hate that things get lost up there at times, Maria also installed new floors. The bathroom was a simple bathtub surround and paint, gutters were always a problem, she added some down spouts, and it is helping the rain to go away from the front door, No more ice. I am so impressed with this women, she worked very hard day and night, and I felt as I was the most important person to her at the time of her project, and she really controls her employees, she makes sure that they are just as respectful and professional as she is, and they seem to enjoy working for her very much, which says allot, she also gave me her insurance information,and interduced herself to my neighbors, provided them with her phone number, and apolgized for any disruption during the project, my neighbors thought this was very considerate, and I agree, I rated her a B on the billing because at the time, i thought this was allot of money, it did not include materials, but she is worth every penny.

Because of the bad weather we have had in our area this spring it started out slow, but I was very surprised just how fast the job went once the weather turned around. The guys worked straight thru, not really taking any breaks during the day and they made sure the work area was clean each and every day they worked. Excellent job!!

.Contractor did not complete the contract as written, by Maria.  contract said ALL paint, BEHR, well had to go with  her to buy paint at local hardware where they do not sell this brand of paint as She told me, she was homeless, unable to pay any of her workers, so had to spend more money. The back porch step has a new hole in it, done by who, I have no idea.  On the front porch, there are 4 pilars, well, 3 sides of them were painted. The latticework on the sides of porch were 1/2 finished.  Back door paint has already peeled!!!!!   ALL(7) 6ft storm windows are loaded with paint, paint smears. The window caulking was never smoothed out, looks like a 4yr old child did it.,,,,and there are many areas that were never caulked.  And the 6ft windows under the storms are also in same, sad shape as the storms.  The shutters are all upside down , and when the sun is out, you can see the MANY areas on shutters that were haphazzardly painted. Its a grey home with white trim with the black shutters. On many areas you can see all the slops and drips of the white paint. Other areas were so sloppy painted, you can actually see the old paint !!  The entire perimiter is loaded with lead paint chips.  Had them tested and they ARE lead, contrary to what Maria said to me.  My Mother had chairs on the back porch, one of the seats looks like someone poured white paint on it, so thats ruined. Our contract also stated the entire foundation was to be drylocked. NEVER happened!. And the cellar windows were never painted. The back-roof overhang, which is about 2ft, and hard to see, except from upstairs window was not painted either.   ,     I have tried calling Maria many times as she stated hat she would be back the next week to finish up the above noted.  Had gotten NO response, so I tried to "text" her.  Bad idea.  had to have the phone company send me a compleat review of all of (mine) and (marias) texts .  This woman says to me, that I am harrassing her? and her Contacts, I only ever texted her!   Maria also got very weird as she was stating that I never loved my Mother(?) and just wanted a quick turnaround, then she went on she was fileing a warrent for me & 91yrold Moms arrest for harrasment!!!    She also was calling me terrible names and using extremley vulgar profanity.  Ive decieded Id go to my lawyer as she was sounding a bit unbalanced., and do worry about my mothers safety. I have also found out that Maria was in Moms home, alone with her supposedly to apoligize to Mom, that was when She told Mom she felt she had to take off $500 off bill considering all the crap she put Mom thru, those were her words, not mine.  and have found that Moms grocery money has gone missing, not that im accusing maria, but money does not just get up and walk out. .  My Mother is frail, between a walker and a wheelchair, and I definatlly do not like anyone in Moms home when Im not there. BTY, Mom has no idea where I keep the money, so she could not have missplaced it. Maria has said in her last "Reply" to former post that Mom had been ripped off by a contractor. That is definatlly news to Us.  Maria also stated that ALL clients have to WAIT their turn, I agree, but when you say YOU(Maria) will be at home the next week and then do NOT answer your phone, nor return any calls, sure makes you wonder just what is going on! She had said the day she got the 1st check, she was finishing up a weather delayed job in Dunkirk/Fredonia area, then would be to Moms home. That never happened. She then went to Erie, Pa to do a job which paid a lot more, (2 of her 'former employees) told me this, as she fired them when they asked to be paid) so that shows that our job was not important, neither was she, Maria,  nor reliable.  All this was documented on Marias personal Facebook page.    All I ever wanted was for my Parents home to look good again.  My Dad took great care and was proud of their home.  What Maria has done, and still is doing is berating a 91yr old Widow.  My Mother constently cries about this whole mess of a job, NOT the money, but how it was done.  She has told me shes glad that my Dad is not here to see what has been done to his home!     Maria also snookered someone close to me to pay for a hotel for her for a week, at the tune of $600, as she keep saying she was homeless, sleeping in her car, and hungry, and couldnt pay her workers.  This person told Her this was a loan, as all He wanted was for Mom to get the house painted, and if this is what it took, so be it.  Makes me sick, as he actually took out a loan to do this!!! ALL my Mother wants is for the shutters to be on the right way, if not fixed before snow, have been told by local authority that snow & ice will jam up, and possiblity leak thru the cedar shakes into the home walls!!!!  And this Spring, I paid $100 for a man to take down all storms, to wash all and the inner windows.  Mom wants them cleaned of all paint, and DIRT,, yes DIRT.  

Jeff provided a detailed estimate and explained every aspect of work to be done. He and his crew were always professional and efficient. We were always able to get in contact with Jeff to discuss any questions we had along the way and Jeff continually kept us in the loop as the project went along. We really appreciated the constant communication because it made us feel like our project was as important to him as it was to us. The work was done in a very timely manner and according to our budget. We would not hesitate to use Jeff's services in the future. We are extremely happy with the work we had done and highly recommend Jeff Holt Contracting. 

I have not had a more pleasing experience than working with Maria @ Exteriors by Maria. The upbeat and professional attitude was awesome. She figured out how to accomplish what I wanted at a fair price and accomplished it within the time frame she said. I loved working with her and will definitely use her again

when I met Maria, the owner of Exteriors By Maria, I was shocked, I thought surely, this women isnt going to do the work, and I was a little worried honestly, simply because everything I mentioned that I needed done, she said she could do it, even the roofing part. She came with refrences and also a portfolio , insurance and so I trusted what she told me. I have to say the most amazing part was she said it would onliy take her 4 days if she had access to the building throughout the weekend. I didnt want to go back and forth with payments, so i paid her upfront and in full, I know that sounds crazy, but she really seemed trust worthy. I gave her the keys to the office and Monday morning I was amazed when I walked in, incredable, the bathrooms were perfect, the yard looked great, building bright and clean,this women is a honest hardworking contractor who went above and beyond what she promised.no mess left behind, no little details that need to be finished, and since then she has stopped by twice to ensure our happiness.All I can say, is we love it! Oh, and this I couldnt believe, but when we came to the agreement to have the wrok done she gave me her home phone number so that I could get ahold of her at anytime, I called just to see if it was a working number and she answered, so I just asked her if she had anymore questions about the plans, lol. Perfect choice, and so nice , considerate, and comfurtable to be around
