Get matched with top deck staining pros in Annandale, VA

"If you want to work with someone condescending, rude, confrontational, unprofessional, and whose contractors workmanship is probably the worst I have ever encountered in my 30 years of working with contractors, THIS IS YOUR GUY. I can ramble on about the false promises, the horrible workmanship, the constant delays, the lack of communication, the rude and confrontational text messages. I guarantee Mr. Shank will in fact respond to this review and try to flip the script and blame it all on me somehow. He talks very poorly about all his customers well at least the ones he doesn't like. Not sure what that is based on although I do have some idea what is based on. But he never made anything explicit, so I can't make accusations that he is a racist. So I am definitely not saying he is a racist because he didn't do anything racist. But if he was a racist it would explain why he didn't give two poops about doing good work for multiple projects I provided him. I also have multiple properties and was hoping to make Mr. Shank a lifelong contractor. In a nutshell, he has done 2 projects for me at 2 properties. One was installing a threshold for a glass enclosed shower stall. His crappy sub contractor (they are not employees) despite him saying they are employees, did not install any grouting on the threshold. Fast forward 1 year, and mold is popping up all around the threshold. Rather than dealing with this individual, I hired another contractor to fix up his mess. Second job, and my second mistake, I hired him for a full scale home renovation for around 50K. That project was an absolute disaster. He took 3 months to do what he promised to me verbally would be a 3 week job. I don't really want to spend 1 hour writing down all the crap he did wrong. I'll try so sum up the highlights. Ripped out old flooring, promised to make new flooring level after installing new concrete by using lasers. New flooring is totally not level and as bumpy as walking on your local trail. The shoe moldings around the flooring look like a child installed them. I had to argue with him to get him to regrout the bathroom which was in his contract in the first place. I can go on and on. For sure if you are someone that Mr. Shank likes and match his criteria of what he likes, whatever that could be I have no idea definitely not race related. He may do a great job for you and that may explain the great reviews. I myself had a horrible experience with Mr. Shank and his group of sub contractors who just plain do terrible work. Ignore my review or take it seriously, frankly this guy will keep getting business cause he's a great salesman. Even has a LinkedIN profile to show how professional he is. Epic scammer and fraud. Stay away."

"After deciding to rebuild our older deck, we had to do some research on companies and speak with prospective vendors. We met with four businesses and carefully evaluated their offerings, services, quality of previous work, and costs. We ultimately chose the Deck Buddy primarily because of their professionalism, approach, and openness during the selection process. Doru was the primary point of contact throughout the entire process, and we chose to work with them because of his dedication, approach, and responsiveness. Every day, his team was punctual, courteous, and clean. They began on schedule and completed the entire project ahead of schedule. We are pleased with our deck and highly recommend his business and staff. Excellent work."

"Excellent work. Tub to shower conversion and bathroom remodel. Vanity, toilet, tile work was excellent. Also painted after completion. Work was done in a timely manner and it was a pleasure working with William and his team. Would highly recommend for painting and remodeling."

"They were on time, finished the job to my satisfaction. Job well done!"

"I was impressed with TrueDecks professionalism, attention to detail, respect of the property, and cost of the repairs. The house beam between the basement and first floor levels had completely rotted through and compromised my deck that was attached. Their estimate for the repairs was literally less than half of other quotes I received and I was a little leery of such a wide discrepancy. However, all of their reviews were excellent and, although less than the others, it was in direct alignment with my insurance company's projection. The bottom line is that TrueDecks dis an outstanding job and I highly recommend them for your decking needs and repairs. You won't go wrong by selecting them for your job and, in the end, you'll pat yourself on the back for choosing TrueDecks. "

"Excellent! On time, very neat, very pleasant, Reasonable cost. Highly recommend Edward and his crew."

"Phenomenal work! We hired C & Brothers to remodel our primary bathroom after obtaining numerous bids. Edwin managed our project - he kept us well informed throughout the entire remodel. The entire contract team was prompt, timely, conscientious, and meticulous. As messy as these projects can be, they kept our home clean and as dust free as possible. Edwin and Christian made great recommendations and steered us toward sound decisions throughout the project. They found us a beautiful slab of quartz for the vanity and bath surround that looks absolutely incredible. We could not be happier, would hire them again and highly recommend C & Brothers!"

"Very much worth it!"

"Made appointment for them to come over for an estimate (which they charge for) between 9-12 today. They are a no show. I wasted the whole morning on them. DO NOT recommend."

"The entire experience with William and his crew was excellent. They were very quick to come out and give us an estimate. They handled a few last minute additions with ease. The crew was on time, polite, and friendly. The work area was kept clean. The workmanship was excellent. We will definitely look to use them again in the future with a couple more projects that we are thinking about. "
