"[Your Name] Spencer,Mitch and Francisco at M and M Roofing Company are an awesome team. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude and satisfaction following the recent installation of my rooftop deck by your team. From our initial consultation, it was clear that your company values customer input and works diligently to meet budgetary constraints without compromising quality. You listened to my concerns with great attention, and your proactive approach to problem-solving truly made a difference during the project. I was particularly impressed by how efficiently the work was completed. The entire deck was built within a week, and it surpassed my expectations in both aesthetics and functionality. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident, and I absolutely love the final result. Thank you once again for your outstanding service and dedication. I would gladly recommend M and M Roofing Company to anyone in need of roofing or deck solutions. Warm regards, Nicole"

"Had taken over management of owner occupied 3 flat apartment building. Recently leased apartment to new tenant. Found that work done on master bathroom by someone hired by owner less than two years ago was faulty. A leak in bath room in apartment above had been discovered and fixed, but who ever owner hired to do repair on water damage to this bathroom apparently never replaced wet wall board, just painted and tiled over!
Also about time I was getting quotes for repairing this bathroom, I replaced the old drop-in stove top in the apartment with a new one. However the old unit had knobs in front, while new one had controls on top. This left a open cutout in front of cabinet.
Tom had been out of town when I first started getting quotes, and I had almost decided on an other provider. However, he offered to meet me at the building at my convenience (I am only there once or twice a week) to see what was needed and give me a quote on the spot.
He showed up on time. When I showed him the main 'job' - the master bath- I gave him minimum information. His answers as to what probably happened and what would be needed, depending on extent of hidden damage was spot on. I also liked his suggestions as to how he would fix the problems.  As we went through the apartment I ask the tenant to show us anything else she felt needed to be 'fixed/adjusted'.  Tom gave good answers to the few items she pointed out., and, while honest, did not put me into any bind or make apartment owner seem bad.
After we left the tenant, Tom explained to me what he would do, and how long he expected to take. I also went into more detail about 'prior' fix with him at that time, though it appeared he easily was able to see what had happened. Tom gave me expected time to do all the fixes, and price. I was impressed that he just about promised all could be done in one day without disrupting tenant to any major degree.  Also, he would be able start within a reasonable time frame, which was important to me.
Tom came out and did the work with in  the next week. While I was not able to be there at the time, I reviewed the work he did several days later. He did a very good job. Also, important to me, the tenant was also pleased and complemented his professionalism. He did quality work, timely, and at a very reasonable price.
I am going to use Tom for future jobs as needed at the building. Not only I will recommend him to others, but here are some projects in the near future I am planning at my own home about which I will be contacting him.

"Met originally with company's owner and job superintendent. They inspected my home and made suggestions to improve my work plan. I wanted quality materials and workmanship. We negotiated a price that was within my budget. Price was reasonable. Work schedule promised was met. Work site well managed. All debris was cleaned up each night. The finished project exceeded my expectations. A few weeks after the original work was completed I had them return to complete another project siding and roofing my garage that was done well. Heartily recommend them for work."

"Eric arrived on time, did all work and we were able to trust him. In the past we have dealt with companies that we have had to "babysit", we did not have that issue with m.d. all in 1. We were able to go about our daily life knowing that quality work was being done. The price was reasonable and the job was done quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend Eric!

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, many professionals handle necessary permits to ensure legal compliance.

The most significant factor in knowing whether to repair or replace your dock is the extent of the damage and its age. If you have minor cracks on a few boards and the dock is less than 15 years old, it'll likely be worth repairing the damaged part. However, it's time to replace this essential water feature if you have significant damage, such as rotting wood in multiple areas, warps or cracks in the dock supports, or a damaged foundation.

If you don’t want to rely on an anchor on land, you can also build dock posts. You’ll need to rent a water jet to blow out sand and silt from the lake floor in order to place the posts; it’s a complicated task that is best left to a professional.

The cost to build a new dock can range widely, typically from $5,000 to $65,000, with an average cost around $15,500. The final price depends on several key factors, including the dock's size, the materials used, the complexity of the installation, the depth of the water, the type of dock being built, and whether it is in fresh or salt water.

Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:

  • Are you damaging the environment? Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.

  • Are you blocking access? Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.

  • Can you enclose the dock? Just because you can build a dock doesn't mean you can build any dock you want. Some areas don't allow enclosed docks, for example.

  • Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines? Check with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management for any guidelines you’ll need to follow, including size and type restrictions.
