Lykens Valley Fencing & Decks

Great !!! coming back to do fencing around my yard

unknown

I first met Ivan at the PA Home Show at the Farm Show Complex when I was looking for a contractor to build a composite deck and a cedar privacy fence for my house in the historic Midtown district of Harrisburg. I talked with a number of contractors, even had a few come out to give me estimates for the work, but not one could even come close on price or quality of materials. The whole process took three months from initial visit to project completion, none of which was the fault of the contractor, but simply the bureaucracy that exists within the City of Harrisburg and owning a property in the historic zoned area. Ivan was quick to send me the drawings that I needed to submit for the building permits and once all of the permits were finalized, we set up a time to begin construction in three weeks. A third of the project cost was due at this time as a deposit. From start to finish of construction, it only took 2 days, which for the size of the project was impressive, both days the crew arrived around 8 AM and worked throughout the day until about 4 PM. Day 1: Crew began to remove the chain-linked fence that sat on the property line. Most of the other contractor quotes I received were simply for cutting the steel posts, but Ivan's crew removed the entire steel post and the concrete support with those posts. They than began to dig the holes for the pressure-treated fence posts. They poured the concrete and placed the fence posts. In the afternoon, they began to put up the cedar panels. At the end of the day, the fence was entirely complete. Day 2: The crew began to dig the holes for the deck footers. At the same time, they began to spray the stain onto the fence. Mid-morning the footers were complete and they began to place the support beams for the deck. In the afternoon, the composite wood planks were placed across the supports and the crew began to attach the screws. By 4 PM, the entire project was complete and looked great. Overall experience with Ivan and his crew was great. He always sought to please his customer and was always willing to go the extra mile to build a great product. In this business, reputation is everything and because of my pleasant experience, I've recommended him to a number of my co-workers and now to Angie's List users. You will NOT be disappointed.
