He listens and creates exactly what you want. Pays close attention to detail. Went out of his way to make sure that mom loved her new custom shelves. Very professional. Stuck to quoted price. Would definitely recommend to family & friends.

Raymond said he would sand down the wood and paint. It started to rain lightly so he said he could not stick around until rain stopped. Forgot to bring his paint but we had paint still did not complete the job. We paid him. He put chalking on the brick. He said we could remove that ourselves.

While they did a good job, payment options aside from cash would be helpful.

Deck or Porch Repair
$2,400
Do not hire this guy. Got lazy, screwed up drilling holes for ballisters. Tried to cover it up by putting extremely thin pieces of shaved 2 x 4 which I was able to just pull off by hand. He got mad cause I told him this was shoddy work. He put thicker slices of board but only did 3 and left 3 which I am going to have to repair myself. He also kept increasing the price. 800 Dollar to start but ended up being about 2500. He kept saying home depot lumber was crap. I said then why did you buy it? Left without one word. This guy is showed up a week late and then left early saying he didn't feel good. Then complained that he had been here three days. Actually 2 and a half. He got lazy, did bad work then acted like a two year old when I complained. I trusted this guy and he did lousy work

A Job well done. I ordered my doors and they came with missing pieces and parts. The contractor still found a way to execute the job and did it wonderfully. He was affordable and professional.

Ray gave me an estimate on the cost of materials labor and estimated time to remove old deck and to replace all old material. He arrived early and worked delgently in the hot sun even thru rain showers. The replacement materials were top quality and the workmanship is beyond question of high quality and craftsmanship
