"Kurt was easy to reach via email or telephone. Apprised us of his approach to stripping our deck of its horrible paint coating and was upfront of the general cost during his first visit. He did need to be reminded to provide a specific contract upfront. Otherwise, deck restoration work progressed quickly once weather conditions permitted start and Kurt finished the large project within a few days."

"Antonio did an amazing job with adding stairs to our deck! Thorough and meticulous, always punctual, great communication, and answered all our questions. Perfect job! Gary was extremely helpful with the cleanup, removing excess materials, moving soil to different parts of the yard, and making sure the backyard was back in order. Really appreciate everyone's hard work and highly recommend!"

"Our experience with Mr. Handyman of South Montgomery County was excellent all around. They have a good answering service and scheduling system and are very good at communicating with the customer. We had a leak in our first floor ceiling with water apparently coming out of the tub in the master bath through the ground and out of the ceiling fan on the floor underneath. We had a similar leak several years ago, which had resulted in us having to renovate the bathroom upstairs (bc the precise source of the leak could not be found) and we feared that it would be as big a job again. Dan Hastings, who is the proprietor of Mr. Handyman of SMC, came out himself to do an insurance estimate for diagnosing the leak and fixing it if the issue was in the pipes or between floors. (Not including possible tilework or major renovations of the bathroom upstairs.) The estimate was quite reasonable and we agreed that Mr. Handyman of SMC would start first by cutting open the ceiling and trying to fix the leak from below. Antonio came to do the work yesterday and he is great. He was on time, respected COVID-19 protocols, works quickly, and is nice and friendly, but most importantly he found the source of the leak and fixed it! When he first cut into the ceiling, he learned that the water wasn't coming from any of the pipes and it appeared to be coming from the wall above. (Our two bathrooms and showers/bathtubs are back to back and share a wall meaning that there is no place to cut into the wet wall without cutting tile.) Before cutting any tile, however, he investigated the area from within the bathrooms and correctly deduced that there was a broken metal/brass fitting behind the tub spout. How he figured that out, I have no idea. But he was able to replace the fitting and address the leak through the spout opening. No more leak and no expensive tile work! Antonio also moved the ceiling fan that was downstairs (which he discovered was incorrectly installed and not anchored in a stud when he removed it to investigate the leak) and installed it in a bedroom upstairs and took down the old ceiling fan in that bedroom. The ceiling fan is working great. Antonio also drywalled the ceiling, not only where he had to cut the hole to investigate the leak, but also because the water had led to a seam line in other parts of the ceiling. We're going to paint the whole house soon, so we didn't ask him to paint, but he was willing to do that as well. The drywall and mud look very flush to the ceiling and he left the ceiling ready for painting. Finally, Antonio gave us some good advice on other electrical matters while he was here, which helped us to address an issue with a light fixture that we had. Overall, this was a great experience and a major relief that we don't have to retile parts or all of our master bath. Thank you, Antonio and Mr. Handyman!"

"The crew that replaced the deck was prompt and did a high quality job. They evidently though did not speak fluent English. The project manager and office manager of Deck Soldier answered all of my questions, but could have done a better job communicating on their own initiative what the crew was planning to do the next day when they left for the day while the job was in progress. All in all, though, we're very pleased with the new deck and I would Deck Soldier an A grade for the job. It was expensive, but you get what you pay for and I would recommend them"

"I loved working with Murray. He was friendly and professional. The deck repair turned out beautifully. We would definitely hire Chevy Chase Exteriors again."

"Josh and his crew did many things for us including power washing the house, deck and fencing followed by staining the deck and fence. All the work was done professionally at a reasonable price."

"Very nice, professional, and easy to deal with. I had two issues. Before going into issues, I want to say the staff was nice, and easy to chat with and the work seems to be thorough. The guy that power washed my deck took well over an hour. He was slow and methodical. Great to see since prep work is so clear for restaining. When they came to stain the deck, they taped off and made sure to keep the landing clean, etc. So I like the work. In the grand scheme of things, my issues were minor and I am happy with the job. As for issues... First was a lack of communication on scheduling then rain delayed doing the outdoor project. I had to reach out to them rather than receive a message on their plan. A week later, they scheduled a time to power wash the deck but did not confirm when they would come out to apply the stain. They just showed up the next day with no word. I would have liked communications ahead of time about when people would be out. Second, after signing the contract I realized it did not include doing the posts and other main beams under the deck which had been done by the prior contractor. I am on a hill so when you stand in the yard, you can see those posts, etc. I am not talking about the underside of the deck, just the major structural elements are previously done and in a different color. I wish the original quote was more thorough than the others I had received. If I had not caught that, I would have ended up with a 2 tone deck!?!?! They agreed to do it for slightly more cost. Had I known that ahead of time, I may have gone with someone else? Finally, I have to admit, I was unhappy when there was no left over stain for touch ups later. The work looks good, but it does make me wonder, why was there no left over? Did they have exactly enough for 2 full coats? Did they have a little and just use it up going over some areas or did they not really do 2 full? We had discussed having some left over for touch ups, and it seemed odd they had exactly the amount needed... I tried to ask about getting extra for touch ups later, but it was only available by the gallon for $100."

"Elegant Homes did very thorough work on our wood rot repair. They were easy to work with as well. I would hire them again!"
