$1,300
Very pricey, job is not done due to contractor injury. Items missing from house.
Response from Master Builders
"angi need to reseach beforere view posting. First the cost was little more because of distance for the lumber to be deliverd and the to remove. T he deck is 16 x20. As for missing mat'l was cleaning products wh ich was taking by her renter. And yes I got injuried.people get hurt now and then but it do not stop me from finishing the job"

Master builders, save my deck project after another contractor disappeared. Larry came out the day. I called them, drove out to Loweâ s with me to buy the material I needed, and then went and visited the inspector to let him know that he was taking over the project. The work they did was fantastic And I would definitely recommend them to other people

Larry was awesome. He started the job when he said he would and stuck with it until he was done with the job. The price was reasonable and he kept us informed on what he was doing.

Larry was a wonderful person to work with. He did an absolutely great job in helping us get our house ready to put on the market. He is very knowledgeable and a pretty good teacher too, as he taught me to do a lot of the things he was doing. He knew exactly what needed to be done and did it to our complete satisfaction. After he left, I installed bifold doors in a room that he could not do as we needed to get carpet first. I texted him a picture when I completed it and thanked him for teaching me. He responded with â Iâ m proud of you!â I have already given his name and number to 2 people, one of which was our realtor whom is always in need of names of trustworthy, reliable, and hardworking handymen. I would recommend him to anyone, without hesitation, and will definitely call him again if needed. I would give him 6 stars on a five star scale.

I called Master Builders after hours late one Tuesday evening and promptly received a phone call back the next morning. Larry came out to my house that same morning and met with my husband. He gave me a very reasonable quote compared to what other companies previously had almost to where I was skeptical my husband had left out a few details. I called Larry just to confirm details and he offered to come back by a little later in the afternoon once I had gotten home from work just to go over everything with me. He reassured me of all the details and told me it would be no problem. Larry returned Friday morning and we could not be happier with the job he did. The doors look better than I ever could have imagined. Larry really is a jack of all trades and we are very lucky we chose to use him. He will forever be our go to handyman and just a great guy all the way around. THANK YOU MASTER BUILDERS!!!

We had Larry and Crew out for a week and it was one of the most pleasurable experiences we have ever had will a builder/contractor was very reassuring and trusting had my best interest at heart always concerned. to me that was the best part of dealing with them. Not only was the job done to perfection we have made a long lasting friendship and will always call him for things we will be doing in the near future.

Wonderful experience. Friendly, easy going yet very professional. I couldn't be more pleased. Asked what I wanted rather than trying to sell me more than I needed. Honest and trustworthy. I have future projects planned waiting for their availability.

These contractors are the best! Period. I had several jobs i needed done in my bathroom. I called them on a Sunday, we scheduled an appointment for the next day on Monday between 9:00am and 10:00am. They came at 9:30am due to it raining outside and even called to let me know. Larry and Ed we pleasant and personable. The work they completed is right and exact! If I ever need anything done that I cannot handle, they're my go to guys hands down.

I needed a three season room repaired d/t rotting wood. They came on time. Let me know exactly what was going on when they found some unexpected rot on the wood support beams. They consulted with me and we decided that more repairs would be needed. They did a great job and I would hire them again.

Larry and team (Jim and Jimmy), did an exceptional job. When the job I contracted for turned out to much more extensive, Larry was extremely supportive and jumped right in to make sure I was taken care of. They did a wonderful job. I couldn’t be happier. They were extremely hard working guys and made sure the job was of the highest quality. On a personal note, the guys were some of the best real people I have ever come in contact with. Personable, polite and hard working. Couldn’t ask for much better. If I ever need work done around my house in the future, there is only one team I will call. Master Builders.

I recently purchased a home and needed a myriad of handyman type projects completed. The projects ranged from the more complex (e.g., replacing front door of the home) to the simple (removing a bird's nest from a vent located on the exterior of the home). No matter the type of project, I found Larry and his team to be professional, amicable and extremely thorough. They arrived on time ready to work and identified as well as completed additional projects that improved the overall stability of my home. A special thank you to Jim who showed such kindness to my two little curious dogs as you painted and completed the installation of the front door. The cost for the services provided was reasonable and there were no surprises. Just excellent work! I will definitely consider working with Larry and his team for future handyman projects and have already shared Larry's card with family and friends.
