the Village Carpenter is Family owned and operated business started by my Grandfather when he retired from the steel mill in 1961. I started "in tow" with my Grandfather and Great Grandfather instilling old school craftsmanship and hard core work ethic into a profession they noted, "will always be good for the Family." When Clients call the Village Carpenter, they get me, Mark Letersky from start to finish on every project, as well as an immediate history of a way of doing business on a level where everyone is your Neighbor and they appreciate quality work at a fair price. We like and appreciate our Clients, so if you are just looking for cheap, inexperienced and unskilled labor, we ARE NOT who you are looking for your projects. We do honest work for reasonable compensation. Whether you need all of those little tasks on the "Honey Do" list done and over with, or an extension built on your home, the Village Carpenter offers a reasonably priced solution, great communication (cell, text, email) and all within a reasonable time frame. As always, Have a great day! Mark

"Ghosted me and my client. Mark was hired by the sellers of the home my client was purchasing. He apparently had been the sellers trusted contractor for their time owning the home. The sellers hired him to complete a punch list of repair items. When we got to my clients final walk through, there were a handful of items that were not complete. We were assured that Mark was a reliable contact and for my client to reach out to him to make sure everything was taken care of post settlement. What a mistake. For months, my client and I tried to reach him. We did hear back once to coordinate a time, but once responded, nothing again. These were not groundbreaking repairs, so perhaps they weren’t worth his time, but the lack of communication has been very frustrating. I deal with contractors all the time and understand how some you need to chase down more than others, but definitely would not recommend Mark to clients of mine in fear of a similar experience."

Creative Deck Designs has been in business for over 22 years, servicing the local Maryland area. We have over 8,000 satisfied customers, with projects ranging from a simple deck or fence to the grandest of outdoor retreats, bringing the indoors out. Creative Deck Designs has been the winner of Angie's List Super Service Award, three years in a row. Additional emails - [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] & [email protected]. Additional contact name - Gary Beard, Kris Earll & Bob Lehman.

"This was our 2nd time using Creative Deck. This review is for customer awareness. We contacted the company and discussed these matters with them before posting this. #1 - Although we are the property/homeowner, you do not have to be home during install. We are nervous homeowners. We took off work to be there. Unlike other construction we have used, Creative has only ONE crew that installs. That weight is on the ONE foreman who will have to take off work unexpectedly. No one showed. #2 - Calls the day of. We were called the morning of and asked "Can they come today?" We felt this "same day" scheduling was very erratic, compared to what we experienced with this company before. #3 - Customers - mark your wires and inform your adjuster. Your buried internet and automower wires are not marked by the Utility company. Inform your adjuster so he/she can help you get these marked. The 3-star rating was a 1-star. The company took time to speak with us about the issues, so we are showing some teamwork. Gary has been there for decades and knows his stuff. The management here - doesn't have time for conversation or empathy. They will throw the paper work back in at you, and you can see that response in their comments to reviews here. Sometime everything legal isn't moral/correct. We aren't sure we will use them again. It just seems sloppy and unorganized for our type of property ownership. I'm sure it would work great for other types of homeowners."

Ameribuilt LLC is the area's once stop source for your home improvement needs. It is no secret that today’s construction industry is extremely unforgiving. Many contractors have completely lost focus of what matters most, the customer. Due to the current economic conditions across the country, many business owners have developed a new low volume/high profit philosophy by charging more for their services to the few clients who actually choose them to complete the work. Rather than changing their business model to reflect the current conditions, these contractors justify this poor behavior as a means for survival in a tough, but improving economy. In addition, these contractors still have a “you’re lucky to have me build your project” attitude. The staff at Ameribuilt does not believe that you should be overcharged simply because a contractor is either too lazy or does not have the capacity to adjust their business model to reflect the current market conditions. The one trait all successful business’ have in common is their ability to adapt to the ever changing market conditions. Furthermore, we at Ameribuilt feel lucky to have our clients invest their hard earned money with us, not the opposite. We believe that we are fortunate to have your business, and it is our responsibility to ensure you have the best possible experience. Our goal is to bring back the personal touch which was lost long ago in the overinflated construction industry. We pledge to not only offer high quality products at fair market relevant prices, but unsurpassed customer service too. That is why we have hand picked each member of the Ameribuilt team. Ameribuilt team member selections are based on three vital factors; Integrity, Motivation and Commitment. These factors were established in order to find team members who have the integrity to make the wise choices which are in the best interests of our clients. The motivation to consistently strive for success and the commitment to ensure each and every client’s project is successfully completed with the best possible customer experience. Ameribuilt is dedicated to helping each client feel comfortable through all phases of construction. We feel the process works best when the customers are kept in the loop and educated about all aspects of their particular project. This philosophy will not only make clients feel more comfortable during the often confusing process but it will ensure the quality of the project consistently remains high. We look forward to earning your business and welcoming you to the Ameribuilt family. Our goal is to make you a customer for life.

"Hayes did generally good work but their follow through when snags arouse was all about saving costs to them and not about making sure the job was completed as well as possible. Our chief complaint was when a sump pump that Hayes installed went bad within the one year warranty on the work. They replaced the pump but never repaired the floor that was damaged because of the faulty pump. As well, they said they would take care of it but instead they strung us along for three months never repairing the floor. They had a couple of fellas come to try and clean the damaged tiles, to no avail, but never followed through with replacements. We currently have a damaged floor with no recourse but legal action. A similar issue occured with shower glass doors that were faulty as soon as they were installed. They recommended a selection of doors. The doors leaked terribly and they offered to install new ones at no cost to us but held us responsible for purchasing the new doors. We wound up scrapping the doors and settling for curtains. We do not recommend Hayes Construction!"

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

The average cost of a new dock piling is $950, including the labor to install it. Dock piling costs can range from $300 to $1,600. You can save money by trying to repair a damaged piling instead of replacing it. On average, repairing a boat dock piling costs $450, with prices ranging between $200 and $700.

Docks can last between 20 and 30 years, provided regular maintenance has been performed. Upkeep tasks like staining your dock annually to prevent water damage, repairing broken elements quickly, and using dock covers regularly will help extend your dock’s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.

Bulging walls, cracks in the seawall's top or side, and the appearance of a seawall "pulling away" are all signs that you need repairs or reconstruction. The area around the seawall can also provide clues. For instance, you may notice water bubbling over in areas of your yard if your seawall has holes or cracks. The soil around the seawall may also appear to be sloping or sinking.

Boat docks need maintenance every year. Get an inspection at the end of each warm weather season, and remove the dock from the water if possible (if it’s made of wood) when not in use. You can also treat the wood to lessen the impact of moisture damage.

Repair costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on material type, structural damage, and labor. Extensive piling or decking replacements increase the price.
