"L&B Services did a tear down and rebuild of an old deck. They really know how to build a solid deck with poured cement footings, sauna tubes, and sturdy lumber. Bob was very good at keeping us informed of the work to be done and the timeline. The deck was done on time. It is a large deck (30x12) with 3 sets of stairs, dog gates, and skirting. The end result was a sturdy deck that will last for decades. Very easy and personable group to work with."

"Where do I begin? I hired this company to build me a deck off of my kitchen area. It’s so pretty. I spend all of my time out there. They did such an amazing job we had them install new vinyl siding and an asphalt shingle roof for us as well. They were so helpful with the deck design. We are having them come back to redo our master bathroom!"

"Sawtooth Services replaced the entire roof and repaired past storm/tree damage on my 100+ year old farmhouse. They did such a wonderful job! When I was not able to be on site, they were in contact with me during the entire process. I couldn’t be more pleased with their diligence, ethics and consideration while they worked their magic. I’ve had positive feedback from my neighbors about the work they did, and how beautiful the roof is now! They quoted me a very reasonable price and finished right on budget!! I will not hesitate to contact them again when I’m ready to schedule some future window and door repairs. They’re the BEST!!"

"We hired Conley inc to build a deck on the back of the house and we couldnâ t be happier. Steve and his crew did a great job, were very polite and professional, and I have no doubt our deck will last for decades. Would definitely go with them again"
