Daryl's Home Maintenance

He and his 2 helpers were very prompt and cleaned up everything, but the quality of work was poor. Boards left too long or cut too short. Lattice work was terrible. We will need to redo. They were very rough on our other deck wood, leaving gouges. They used a nail gun that left splinters instead of deck screws. Daryl said he would return to look at it but we haven't seen him. All we want from him at this time is one board removed that he cut short, and a new 16' board, and we will put it down with deck screws and cut it to the correct length. We will eventually fix the shoddy lattice work ourselves. Too bad he didn't come back to at least do that much for us. Lost all faith in him.

Daryl did a very good job. He was prompt and professional. I will call him again, I highly recommend his company.

Installation of two basement glass block windows with vents. Price was competitive based on several local quotes and I try to use local tradesmen and small businesses whenever possible. Work quality was good. Daryl and Jason were friendly. No major complaints but a few items keep me from giving top scores. Communication could have been better. I called the Wednesday before installation as I had not heard from him for several weeks after sending my deposit check. It was then he told me he'd be over Monday at 9 am to install the windows. While I understand the windows were custom ordered and taking longer than initially expected, short notice could be problematic for someone with a less flexible schedule. Daryl arrived between 9:30 and 10 am. Cleanup should have been more thorough. The mortar pan was rinsed in my utility sink. This would have been fine if they had rinsed the mortar from the sink and made sure the drain remained open. I didn't find the problem until later that evening and ended up having to unclog the chunks of mortar from the drain and scrub away a thick layer of mortar coating the sink. They swept the floor but left many mortar drips. They also left the old windows on my curb saying someone would come by to pick them up for scrap/recycling. They disappeared after a couple days. My husband was not pleased about this and felt they should have cleaned up better, removing all demolition and rubbish.

The job took 2 day since there was dry walling and mudding involved. They were prompt with their arrival and did the work in the time that was estimated. We are very pleased with the work and would hire them again.
