First, I have to say he showed up when he said he would. However, when we spoke about having the deck repainted he verbally told me it would last at least another 4-5 years. Now, when we did the deck ourselves a couple of years ago, we used Deckover from Home Depot, the sandy looking paint. Looked nice for a couple of months until it started falling off by our first snow storm. So we were stuck with a cruddy deck. Last year, October of 2017, we called George Juhank through Home Advisor. He had 5 stars, 24 reviews...great!!! right??? No, not so great. We asked him how much would it cost to put on treks...over 15k, something we couldn't afford. So we asked if it was worth painting and would it stick considering we had Deckover on it. He said "Yes, no problem, we clean, we powerwash, then paint, last you 4-5 years" is what he said. He also recommended we change out the footboards to the staircase, so we agreed and did that too. So off to work they go on October of 2017. Color was beautiful, paint color chosen was horrendous at first but eventually settled for next darker color on chart which came out beautiful, but guess what??!! Started peeling right after our first winter storm in December. Then once our winter of 2018 thawed, I was in complete disappointment. Paint peeled everywhere, even on the brand new stairs he installed, so he couldn't blame it on our deck being too old as he tried to. He had no explanation to why that happened, just kept blaming that the wood was not good and that he doesn't have an "X-ray machine" to see how old it is. Well, can't tell you how LIVID that comment made me. I asked him "ok...then explain to me why the paint was peeling off the brand new footboards you installed"?? I think he forgot about those. He came to take a look and he did. He only offered to repaint the footboards and that he is not going to do the deck over again. Well, that just made my husband mad and he told him that he will just give him the bad review. He turned to my husband and said if you do that, "I will sue you"...can you believe that!!?? He will sue us for giving a bad review...my husband showed him the door. Just a few more things I did not like about him was the fact that he never sent me a quote, just a verbal amount over the phone and never left a receipt.. I had to ask for one. Another side note - he did use two coats of paint, my husband was watching them work and he insisted on using the cabot brand...beware, the color charts are very off.
