"We hired Emilio to build a floating deck. He was punctual for each appointment, did exactly what he said he was going to do, kept me posted on progress and anything additional needed. The final product was excellent, completed quicker than most other vendors and for a very fair price."
"The team was great and kept it tidy and well done. Utilized latex and oil based paints based on the best result desired. Did walls, cabinets the ceiling and doors. Their ability to float walls and ceilings were A+. Likely will hire them again."
"Dave helped me with putting a door frame back in place. Reached out to him on Monday and he was on-site by Wednesday. Very happy with the quick work!"
"Victor came out and gave me a estimate to replace some rotten wood siding and place a metal post for my storm damaged patio cover. I hired him and he started next day. Victor was thorough and detail oriented. Very happy with his work and will keep his # for future and friends in need."
"My parents house was gutted by servpro after a water accident in the attic. Jose and his team worked quickly to repair drywall, tape, float, texture and paint. Not only that, his team installed upgraded wood flooring and wood stairs, repaired door trims and baseboards, carpet for the rooms. Professional work, orange peel texture on walls, and crows feet on ceiling. Paint matched the house. Completed the work in 5 days. One stop shop. Price is very competitive. We are very happy and will continue to use his services."
"They did an outstanding job!! I am thrilled with my new deck. Mine had rotted and had developed a pronounced slope, and needed to be replaced down to the joists. They rebuilt the entire deck, and it looks incredible! Brand new and beautiful. Very high quality workmanship on a rather complex project. The deck is three levels, with a small walking ramp, steps the length of the deck and a custom cutout for a water feature. They did outstanding work. The service is also outstanding. Very professional, reliable and friendly. I would absolutely hire them again."
"Overall, we are very pleased with our new deck from The Deck and Patio Company. The crew was very professional, polite, and friendly. Each day they spent the time to clean up the project site and were always willing to answer any questions we may have had. The quality of the wood, carpentry, and staining was excellent. The only drawback was the length of time (13 weeks) between contract execution and start of the work"
"Very efficient and amazing attention to details. Kept the whole work area very tidy and organized. Sanded, primed, spray painted all kitchen cabinets. Painted entire interior, walls, ceilings, doors, trim (except inside the closets that I did not want done) and it is Beautiful!! We’re keeping this Amazing Handyman’s contact info for future projects!"
