Best deck repair pros near Middletown, CT

"I hired Arnold Masonry to find and fix a water leak in my chimney that had somehow survived two previous masons / chimney repairs, re-flashing twice, and replacing the roof. The good: * He was the only mason (of this round) who even returned my call. * He was the first to suggest that he starts by finding the leak with a garden hose. * He found the leak on the first day, and identified that the problem was a crumbling chimney cap due to inferior construction. * He replaced the chimney cap, and the leak has stopped (even through two hurricanes). * Total time: 3 days of labor, totaling about $4500. The bad: No complaints about the masonry performed, but * The leak-finding method only works if he actually sprays water into the leak. I didn't mind-- The interior stains were so bad that I didn't mind making them worse and I was pretty desperate to fix the problem-- but it makes the damage worse before it makes it better. (And you need to sign a waiver for the damage.) * He wants to be paid cash, on a daily basis. However, he does not seem to like to make predictions about how much each day will cost, so you either need to have a lot of cash on hand or run out to the bank when he finished for the day."

"Len told me for $2000 more he would do the decking in trex so I thought that was a wise investment. I also asked him to rebulld a small deck off the laundry room which they half assed it. the decking also has a board going down the middle which is not level with the rest of the deck. this guy is a hacker stay away from him! I'm sorry i ever used him to replace my deck. You get what you pay for in this business. the vinyl railings he put up are homedepot quality. Also the steps for the deck are failing and will have to be replaced soon. Horrible job putting up the white latice around the sides of the deck."

"A soft wall due to improperly installed gutter by some other entity or homeowner caused water to constantly leak into the wall from the exterior roofline. This soft wall grow moldy and become riddled with pests/bugs. The contractor identified the potential issues, agreed to explore and open the walls and discuss the conditions, made sound recommendations for repair and did exactly what was noted in the repair (replaced a load bearing exterior wall, fixed the sill plate, completed the roof, shingles etc. and closed up the walls on the inside with insulation and sheet rock.). The work was timely, well done, the workers were clean as they did the job and kept the rest of the property clean. The manager of the job David Apel was and is an excellent communicator with phone/email/text and photos of processes and progress. I am going to use this company in my own investment endeavors on other properties and projects given the level of finished work, the timing and especially the level of detailed communication."

"Andi’s Smart Renovation did an amazing job on my deck! They replaced the boards, fixed the steps, and added strong railings — everything looks brand new. Fast, clean, and very professional. Highly recommend them!"

"I wish I could give an indefinite amount of stars in this review. I was in search of getting my aging deck replaced and a simple search brought me to ?TrueGrit building & remodeling.? From start to finish, Glen walked me through the process of what would be involved in my project. He always kept me informed as to what the process would entail. The final result is exactly what I had hoped. The quality of the work was worth every penny. Aside from being great at his craft, Glen is an extremely kind and intelligent person. Glen and his crew did an incredible job! A++ work!"
