I highly recommend Long Island Decking Inc! They redid our whole deck that was unsafe and just falling apart. We went with Trex decking and it’s absolutely flawless. My backyard now feels like a relaxing resort and I can’t wait to decorate it! Jay and his team were just fantastic to work with!...

Customers say: True professional

"Absolutely wonderful! Daler arrived early and started work immediately, removing the old air conditioner and installing the new one with conscientious attention to detail and great care to do so without damaging the window frame. His young daughter Robia was also there, handing Daler the correct tools and paying close attention to his work; she is already a top-notch assistant to her Dad! The AC is now securely installed and Daler also took the time to install weather-stripping when he noticed that our window frame was just a tiny bit uneven. Both Daler and Robia were courteous, caring, and truly professional. We would be delighted to hire D & R Repair for future projects!"
