"They did a really good job and they stand behind their work. The prices are competitive and they take pride in their work. I had a really old front door that was not insulated and they put in a new one with plenty of insulation. They also put in a new storm door and a garage side door that meant making a new doorway that's sealed properly. They answered all my questions and were respectful of the property"
"Scheduled for 11:00 am but called and asked if they could come early, no problem as the weather was in question. After reviewing the possibility of the weather affecting the completion of the outside work. We agreed to give the outside work a try, hoping the rain would stay away until it was completed. It took only a hour and was complete. Doug was great and very willing to give options and explaining everything. Will use them again. "
"Mike and Johnny did a great job! They gave a good quote and said they could start the following week. They did the job faster than quoted and were very meticulous with the details. They were even on their hands and knee wiping dust off our floors before they left each day.
Already looking at hiring for another project we are working on!"
"Yard Works does fantastic work. They are detail-oriented, thoughtful and easy to work with! We had them install a concrete paver patio for us among other tasks in our garden and we are very happy with how it turned out. We look forward to having them help us with future projects!"
"We were very pleased with the staircase and railing construction completed by MGM Carpentry and highly recommend them for Carpentry and construction work. Mike worked efficiently completing the demolition of the previous stairs and railing in one day. He identified and corrected structural deficiencies from the previous construction and completed the remodel and finish work within the time he originally stated it would take to complete the job. He was even able to stay on-budget with the exception of the additional repairs identified during demolition. Even then, he discussed any changes early and found effective solutions that didn’t significantly increase the cost of completing the work. We are absolutely delighted with the quality and appearance of the finished staircase. He kept a tidy workspace and cleaned everything up very neatly once the job was completed. He exceeded our expectations. We will hire him again for any other construction needs."
"This was one of the most pleasantly surprising repairman episodes I have ever had. It started when I called the company and the person I talked to understood immediately what my problem was, and said he would have "Brian" out to fix it within 2 hours. Brian showed up right on time after giving me a call to say exactly when he would be coming. He assessed my situation, had a better idea than I did for what was needed, and he promptly set about fixing it. He explained everything as he went along, taking pride in what he was doing. When he finished that, he did a complete inspection of my garage door operations, explaining to me what he was looking for. He sprayed things that needed it, and explained to me what to spray, and which places should get silicone spray and which WD 40. The work was guaranteed. The bill was very fair, and my $10 off coupon was cheerfully accepted."
"Their painter, Mark, quoted the job and did all the work. He is a hard worker, is very knowledgeable, is a good communicator, and was a pleasure to have working in our house. The quality was excellent and was finished right on schedule. Mark even went above and beyond what we expected in a few areas. We were very pleased with the whole experience."
"Service was professional, prompt, and done professionally. Repaired damaged area and blended paint to ceiling well without the cost of re-painting entire ceiling. Also, made sure there were not any additional leak points that could cause damage in the future.
If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.
