Get matched with top carpenters in Live Oak, TX

"Andrew and his crew work well as a team, they are efficient and provide excellent results. All very hard working and conscientious, with emphasis on a good quality product. They removed a hot tub and some rotted wood from a deck. After the rotted wood was replaced, the entire deck was stained. Excellent Job! I was so happy with the deck repairs; I asked them to paint the house exterior. I highly recommend Andrew and his team!"

"We had a clear idea of what we wanted for this project, and when I contacted Jose, the first impression was excellent which, as we know, makes all the difference. He listened carefully to our ideas and provided thoughtful feedback on what could be achieved. From our initial concept to the final result, the experience was outstanding. It truly felt as though the build was being done for his own home or a family member—every detail was handled with care. Communication was consistent and personal, with daily updates that kept us informed throughout the process. We’re extremely happy with the outcome. If we have any future projects at home, we already know who to call. Excellent work highly recommended!"

"Signed contract for 1,000 sq ft floating deck and railing atop 3-car garage, some Hardie boards installed on end of 2nd story house facing deck, painting, caulking, etc. 24/25Aug Hardie installer did an unprofessional job. 12,13&15 Sep, first paint crew did lousy job caulking and painting Hardie boards. 5Oct, second paint crew did more caulking and tried to better paint job. Still blotchy, but tired at this point dealing with company. Threatened to pay for what was done and terminate contract, but owner threatened to have his attorney contact us. We continued after having an hour-long meeting with the owner to get things on the "right track;" however, nothing changed. 11-23Oct, deck installers installed sub-frame pressure-treated lumber and Trex decking, steps, and porch cover. A very nice job. 23Oct, sub-contractor did excellent job installing a metal roof on the porch. 24/25Oct, another crew did a beautiful job installing railings. 30/31Oct, second paint crew did poor paint job and poor storm door install. 6Nov, had to have Hardie board door frame removed and replaced with cedar (wood) frame for storm door to be properly attached. 7Nov, Third, yes third, paint crew showed up to paint and caulk door frame and touch up 2nd paint crew's poor paint job. Contract and advertisement state "no money paid till job completed." On 19Oct owner asked for "$25K or $30K payment" as he needed funds. I acquiesced and gave him $20K. Final payment of $26K was made on 8Nov17. The day final payment was made, I had a question about Trex and went to the Trex web site and discovered the wolmanized/pressure-treated sub-frame lumber used for the floating deck should have had Trex Protect Joist and Beam Tape installed doubling the life expectancy from 10 to 20 years--confirmed via e-mail from Trex customer service. Was disappointed this professional company with a "passion for quality deck construction" wasn't aware of this product. (Did ask Diamond Deck owner why this wasn't used in our last e-mail to him, no response--he had our money. After agreeing to a $46K contract, certainly another $500 or so for beam tape to double the life of our sub-frame wouldn't have been an issue.) This 10-week project was the most stressful remodeling experience in our lives. Extremely poor communication, project managers who don't oversee a job nor coordinate work with homeowner and workers, and excuses galore. The company obviously takes on too many jobs sacrificing quality and leaving the homeowner feeling like this is a side-line project and "we'll get to you when we can." Also, we are still cleaning up behind the crews (oil stains all over our driveway from sub-contractor/employee vehicles, unused screws, cigarette butts, etc.). We paid for our own porta-potti as none was offered. During this 10-week ordeal (albeit we did have several weeks of poor weather or shipping delays) we had NUMEROUS e-mails, texts, phone calls & some meetings--totally uncalled for if this was"

"Dave Lefuer was punctual in his appointment for estimate. Company was very professional. They called every Monday to update on when they would come to work on the decking with all the recent bad winter weather they wanted to reassure us workmanship was of good quality. Would trust them for future deck staining & re-staining jobs in the future."

"After examination it was determined it could not be fixed and it was recommended it be replaced. Arrangements were made and a metal ladder (wooden no longer available) was installed. It was framed and painted. The door was also painted. The installer also installed some molding around the opening to keep out cold air.*****"

"Good design, great builder, and pleased with the outcome."
