Get matched with top deck and porch pros in Bear, DE

"I was very impressed with their workmanship! I had them resurface my existing wood deck with Trex and couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for a trusted contractor who responds quickly, provides competitive pricing, and does the job fast without short-changing quality. The owner Robert, was very patient while I was trying to finalize my decisions and offered his thoughts and provided photos of his projects when he saw I was struggling to help me conclude a final decision. He actually did the job himself and you could tell with his years of experience, he was able to overcome any obstacle and the pride he takes in his work provided quality craftsmanship that is a gem to find in this current environment. I will definitely refer him to my family and friends!"

"I hired JLF Construction to finish some spackle and paint our nursery. I wish I never did. I had Jose come out to give a quote. He looked everything over and immediately shot of a price way too high for what the scope of work was. I was providing all materials and tools just needed labor. I told him we would think it over and get back to him. From that day on he continued to harass me with phone calls and texts wanting me to hire him. Finally I explained we felt the price was too high and we'd be getting additional quotes. He then negotiated down to what I thought was a fair price and we hired him. He sold me on how he had over 40 years of experience. Showing pictures of work he recently completed that we liked. We set up a day for him to come out and do the work. I was working when he had the availability and my wife was home. She text me saying there were 3 people here total and she didn't think it was going too well. She said she thinks I need to look everything over but he was demanding payment and wouldn't leave. I text Jose and explained I wouldn't agree to pay until I was home to see the work completed. To my amazement when I got home the room looked awful. He had let his 20 year old son who had no experience cut in the paint. Lines weren't straight, paint on my ceiling in some areas and other areas paint didn't even go all the way up the wall and it wasn't a double coat cut in. The white paint under showed through where they cut in. I immediately called Jose expressing my concerns and he started threatening me, insulting me and telling me I want something for nothing. He threatened to come to my house the next day. My wife who is pregnant was afraid so I agreed to just pay him. He then offered to send his son back out but he refused to come fix it himself since he wasn't the one who did the cutting in. I refused. I was so disappointed after seeing all of his great reviews. I wish I never came across his business. We had to pay a professional painter to come out and fix the issues. Luckily they didn't try to change and arm and a leg. If I could tell anyone to look elsewhere when considering these guys I would. Also, just a side note he had his sons wash out the paint in my yard causing my grass to die. I had them on camera the entire time doing it and asked multiple times to please stop since I pay for lawn treatments. This entire experience ended up costing me more than what we budgeted."

"E&H completed initial power wash of home and front walkway— excellent. Honest, reliable & highly skilled construction and building expertise, will bring them back."

"I recently hired David Docherty Painting, a father-and-son team, to paint my three-story Victorian home — and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, their professionalism stood out. Their quote was fair and reasonable, and now that I’ve seen the finished work, I can honestly say their pricing was excellent for the quality they delivered. They were always on time, from the first day to the last, and completed the entire project in about four days — exactly as promised. Throughout the process, Dave and Dave were courteous, professional, and respectful of my property. I gave them a few instructions about caring for my lawn while they worked, and they followed them perfectly. I especially appreciated how they communicated clearly every day, explaining what they planned to work on and what progress to expect. That level of transparency made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely hire them again and highly recommend David Docherty Painting."

"They provided multiple options to address our needs. They scheduled the job flexibly to meeting our needs and finished the job neatly and on time. Their efforts are very much appreciated. "

"Basement stairs were coming loose from the landing. Lemar re-attached stairs to landing even more securely than they were originally and he installed new vinyl plank flooring on the landing as I requested. He also cleaned up, sanded and re-painted threshold outside of the door, as I requested. Everything was done in a timely and professional manner and the work looks very good. Will have Lemar back for more work in the future."

"Genaro and his staff were great to deal with. If I needed to call for any reason, they either answer right away or call back within 10 minutes. Very reliable and very reasonably priced. Always on time, never left waiting. Would highly recommend."
