"Robert was easy to work with and very much dedicated to doing a good job. He maintained a clearly defined schedule and was always on time. He was creative in figuring out how to strength my existing porch by adding additional board under the structure. This ended up giving me significant savings compared to another company that said they would wanted to rip off my existing porch and start all over. I never could have afforded that so I valued Robert's creative solution to keep the cost much lower. My thanks to Robert and Angi's."
