Get matched with top woodworkers in Albion, PA

"On April 25, 2024, we had a bad experience with B&D Sealcoating & More, William â Billâ Kester and Dustin Wackwitz (â B&Dâ ). They dug out a trench where our driveway meets our garage floor and left a serious trip hazard and perfect place for water to pool to cause more property damage (pictures attached). Perhaps they ran out of materials and just decided to call it a day (since they began work at the street and worked their way up to the garage, that explanation seems plausible). I wasnâ t home when they finished, and my husband had given them the $1,450 check earlier (which they cashed at our bank after leaving our home) so withholding funds wasn't an option. We were very dissatisfied but, after receiving a text from the person who recommended B&D warning us to NOT hire them because of newly-discovered information, we decided to just cut our losses and hire someone else to finish the job. Until now, the only person we confided in about our dissatisfaction with B&D was the author of the warning text. Unfortunately, the author of the warning text recently shared our dissatisfaction with William â Billâ Kester and he sent us several threatening and taunting messages. We are in the process of finalizing a complaint with the PA Attorney General and exploring legal options."

"We did the demo on our old two-tiered decking. Betterliving built a new upper deck from composite with aluminum railing. The lower deck was replaced with as 12X15 sunroom. The process from start to finish was a pleasure. All employees were friendly, knowledgeable, skilled, and prompt. Price was better than anticipated, so we went with a 4-season sunroom instead of a 3-season. The worksite was safe, clean and orderly, and the quality of the build was excellent. They worked through some miserable cold weather too. Deck – Betterliving’s construction quality was a major improvement to what we previously had. Their suggestion to use two colors on the railing worked out great too - spindles are a different color that the rest of the railing. Sunroom - also very solid construction. It is insulated well, and also helps even out the temps in the family room it is attached to. The gable style not only looks nice, but makes the sun room look bigger. They built a small landing off of the sunroom entryway too. It is important to note that they installed the flooring and contracted the electrical. Flooring and electrical work were included as part of our quote with them. Not all of our quotes from other businesses included flooring and electrical work, and would have been an additional cost. Having everything included in the quote also meant we had one project, not several projects. Deck/sunroom/landing materials – decking and landing materials were the same composite materials. The sunroom skirting was also the same composite. This ties everything together visually, and improves the overall look. Electrical work – Knorr Electric completed all the electrical in the sunroom (interior and exterior outlets, exterior floodlight, and hung a ceiling fan). They also replaced all of our outside lighting on the entire house while they were here, and moved a bathroom light inside. They were also friendly, knowledgeable, skilled, and prompt. And quality work from them too. We will definitely contact Betterliving and Knorr again for any additional work we want done. They are highly recommended! Note that Betterliving in the Erie, PA area is connected to DBC Remodeling and Construction (same employees). DBC came highly recommended to us from a friend."
