"( Correction ) The deck build was the original project which was done on a very tight budget to help Carolyn out. Everything went very well and alot of neighbors stopped by and commented on how great everything looked and commented on the quality of the deck. As far as the negativities being said here Carolyn is failing to mention after the deck project was done she ask us to come back and stain the rafters that were exposed so we did. 7 coats later she was still not happy. The color she picked out was grey and I purchased what I thought was the same color in a different brand, better product. This was me spending more money to help her out. She didn't like the color so now we had to use a completely different color in a solid stain. Literally 7 coats later 3 days of work I told her this is the very best I could do and she still wasn't happy. I strive to do my very best and I realized that I just couldn't satisfy her. I charged $250 dollars for 3 days of work. If that deserves a 3 star rating so be it. I take pride in my work and craftsmanship. I've held a 5 star rating since 7/31/14 and by the way, that's how long I've been a member on Home Advisor. Thank you, Ben Rickett"
