They started on a Monday, we had agreed upon and took the old deck down and most of the debris removed (excess was stacked neatly on the driveway, out of our way). Rather than use the old support, they put in new cement thingies, to support the new deck. Built the framework and covered it with the materials we had purchased. There were very minor delays, waiting for inspections, but we were prepared for them. On Friday, it was all completed. And beautiful.
Throughout all entire construction process, the area was kept reasonably clean and orderly. The way they had placed the materials, and even the work trucks, was in such a way, that we had no problem getting in and out of our garage. I worked from home while they were here and the crew seemed like not only were they good, they seemed to enjoy their work. I gathered a sense of pride.
The job went well and was completed in a reasonable time frame. However, there was some builder grade siding that did not meet up with the deck after the completion. I called Todd and he immediately had an idea to use some trim that would match the deck. They came out and installed the trim and everything is fantastic.
I would recommend Garloff Carpentry to anyone looking to build a deck. I am very satisfied with them, pre-sale, during construction, and post-completion.
His crew is the best, foreman Ken was extremely professional more so than Todd himself. The crew was very punctual on coming to work at 7am precise, took half hour lunch at 12pm sharp, came back at 12.30 and continued working till 3.30pm.
One of the reasons we may do future work with Todd is because of his crew's work ethics.
The crew cleaned-up all the mess but for their muddy shoes on the brand new deck. My stairs are coated with mud and it doesn't look new; this was their only fault.
When we got back to him with the and quot;go ahead,and quot; he gave us a date they would start the work and the number of days the project would take to complete. They kept to that schedule.
The carpenters were very experienced and it showed - they knew exactly what they were doing, worked quickly, and made a good recommendation for improvement part way through the job. They were happy to explain what they were doing. They kept the work area tidy.
My opinion is that we now have an extraordinarily well-built deck that will last many, many years. It is very good looking. I would definitely use Garloff again.
The only problem with the job is that we had a rainy summer, so when the delivery trucks drove on our yard around to the back yard, they were driving on soft ground. So we now have tire tracks / gouges that will require a good bit of work to repair.
The project was delayed for several weeks due to the weather in late May. This wasn't a problem as there was no particular timing pressure by the customer. Mr. Garloff communicated regularly with us to ensure we knew what his plans were. If I did not hear from him, I would contact him via emai and he responded the next day. I will say his team was professional, paid attention to detail and did quality work. They were respectful of the customer and would ask questions to ensure they were clear on expectations. As with most contractors, the owner needs to be on top of the project to ensure what was agreed to in the contract is being done. There were times when communications between Mr. Garloff and his team, on specific items, was missed and we needed to revisit the contract to ensure the items were clear and addressed. The only disappointment was some minor items that needed to be addressed, after the final check was delivered. Shame on me for not catching those beforehand as we've been waiting to get those completed but sofar communications have ceased. Garloff stated he would return to address the items but that has not happened. Fortunately for me, I have some handyman skills and can make the corrections myself. For someone who does not, my advice is to make sure you are completely satisfied and all items are to your satisfaction before handing over final payment.
Garloff Carpentry is a contractor I would recommend as we are pleased with the final project, regardless of the minor inconveniences noted.
