He had a lot of ideas and suggestions. The quality of the service was good and they were meticulous in cleaning when they were here. Communication and follow up was good.

Andy came to our home to provide an estimate with samples in hand. Within a week we received a written estimate, computer drawn plan and contract. We re-worked the design several times and tweeked the contract with respect to dates. Prior to contract execution Andy re-visited to confirm all materials, plans and timing. Work was started and completed within the agreed timeframe and the price was fair to both parties. As with any construction project, there were minor bumps. For example, the wrong railing was delivered and had begun to be installed. I called Andy that evening and immediately he took care of it. No blame game, no argument, no questions, just fixed. The situation could not have been handled in a more professional manner. He also agreed to some additional minor requests that weren't negotiated in the contract without requiring a change order. There were some brads showing on the face of the steps. When I conveyed my dislike of the look, he agreed to fill each with a color match plug making them nearly invisible. Additionally, he agreed to pitch the underside of the deck so that we can add waterproofing materials at a later time. All done for no extra charge. We asked Andy to leave the usable Azek scraps, and they were neatly stacked for us, only usable pieces included. The worksite was clean and tidy each day, and the deck turned out beautifully. We are very pleased with this company.

"I appreciate your positive feedback. We strive to exceed expectations in every aspect of evryones construction project. As the member stated, there are always questions, and often a few bumps along the way. It's how those bumps are handled that matter most. It is for this very reason that Andy Loschiavo Custom Decks only accepts payment when the job is 100% completed and approved to the customers satisfaction. You, the customer has no money at risk, or no risk of us leaving or not completing the job with this payment implementation. On rare occasions, If the job is very large, we will work out a draw plan, usually at the 50% mark. Thanks again for your evaluation. Andy Loschiavo"

I liked that once they got on the job, they did a fine job. They did a good quality work and it was a good value for money. The only problem is that sometimes they overbook themselves. That causes some issues with the appointments. They are very pleasant to work with.

"I agree with the members. I have since this project put systems in place to better accommodate you, the homeowner. In the heart of the summer (prime deck building season) It becomes quite a challenge to be so many places at once. I, myself, does all of the meeting, design and estimating of my projects. I take great pride in our final products and back everything we do with a no money paid out, until 100% satisfied policy. I have done the many employee thing in the past and have learned, that, for me, quality and personal service is the only place to be. We can only do so many projects in a year, and to be 100% honest, if you require meeting after meeting to make up your mind, I get into a situation where I have to wonder whether or not you are going to hire anyone and move to work towards the next potential customer. Again, time is important for everyone and we do our best to please everyone to the best of our ability. I greatly respect all of our customers and appreciate and welcome any comments, as they can only help us strive to do better. Thanks to any of you for past business!!!!

Andy was very prompt to come out to give me an estimate and even came out a second time when I had questions and was trying to identify some cost savings. He seemed very willing to work with me to design the deck that I really wanted. I had two other estimates, and Andy's price was right in the middle. He provided a new estimate with the modifications and that was the one I signed and returned to him. Then I did not hear from him for weeks about when he could start the project. I called and e-mailed and finally got him to commit to a start date. Once he got started things moved quickly, and my old deck was gone and the new one was up in 4 or 5 days. There was a problem that we disagreed on. I had asked if he could leave the old decking for me, to reuse and to also save money on having it hauled away. That was written into the contract. However, he not only left the old decking but he left the scraps from the new decking, a long pallet that the material was delivered on, and their personal trash (cups, bottles, etc.). The quote was for him to leave just the old decking but he insisted that it also meant he could leave all the trash. Evenutally we compromised and he said he would come out to get the pallet and I said I would take care of the rest. If you hire him, do not take the written contract without understanding what it means. Overall, I am thrilled with the new deck. It is a PVC decking material (Azek) which looks great and has a very long warranty. The chocolate brown decking with black aluminum railing looks very classy. The new stairs are the same material. This will add a lot of value to my home.

"I have reviewed the member's report and have a couple of comments to make. First, I agree on the responsiveness issue in her case and have put systems in place to do better in the future. Secondly, we did have a disagreement on the removal of debris, as I do not remove partial debris, it is all or none as I use a junk removal service to remove the debris in a quick and timely manner. It was agreed that she would get rid of the debris to save the $total removal fee. There was not a discussion as to partial removal. If this were the case there would have been at least some fee on the proposal for removal. I will agree to disagree in this case. In response to my contracts reading like conversations. I am willing to put ANYTHING in writing that the homeowner is concerned or unclear about. I believe it speaks volumes that we as a Company do not even require a down payment by the homeowner. Only full payment upon completion of the project, which gives the owner peace of mind, as well as all of their money until project is completed to THEIR specifications and expectations. Thank You Andy Loschiavo"

It was a great experience. Everything went well. I couldn't be happier with the experience. His workmanship was excellent and I would recommend him to others.
