Rocco and Pat are a great team who are honest and extremely helpful. I have used them multiple times over the years. Recently we had numerous smaller tasks that needed to be accomplished outside to bring the house to a better state. Both days they showed up on time and went straight to work. They provided a great recommendation of not only repairing the fascia but adding a metal wrap to avoid us having to replace it every couple of years due to water flow off the house. Also, they helped us fix an outside wall that began to bow so we didn’t have to hire a second contractor. We plan to continue to use them as needs arise.
Description of Work: Replace gate lockset, repair fence, repair fascia and add metal wrap, remove rotted wood and caulk the bottom of 2 sets of French doors, repair door frame, and outside wall repair

Rocco and Patty are top notch. Fair price, show up on time, clean up after the job is done...all the things someone contracting a job should do. We have not always found this to be the case so we were impressed. On top of all that they are absalute perfectionist and the pergola is beautiful. We are very grateful and thankful to have found them.
Description of Work: They built a pergola for our back yard.

A handsome fence was built on time. Problem was in some spots the fence was high off the ground such that two of the smaller dogs could squirt right out. I am the father of the home buyer, It took me three trips to Home Depot to fix the problem.
Description of Work: New fence enclosing the back yard of a quarter acre lot. Specs on the job was that it was to hold in four dogs.

Great. They were willing to take on a smaller project that most folks would not. They needed to match a cut-out pattern in the existing fence gate which they did very well to the neighbor's liking.

The job went great. Rocco and Pat gave me an estimate on Saturday as scheduled. They were available so we scheduled the job to start on Monday. They arrived on time each day and got down to business. They are definitely perfectionist, trustworthy individuals who I will use for wood, fascia, and soffit repair. I have an estimate for a replacement deck and a front entry door that will be done in the near future.
Description of Work: Replaced rotted wood and added with vinyl.

I received word of mouth from a family member of Rocco's/Patty? good work, and can do attitude. I met with Rocco and showed him what I needed down. He offered solutions and explained that the hardi board required a diamond tip saw blade and he would be able to start the following day. As usual one project runs into another and he was agreeable to all of my requests. Rocco and Patty? are hard workers and I would use them again.
Description of Work: Inspected and removed rotten header boards on fence surrounding property. Replaced hardi-boards used used as fencing side boards.

He arrived very promptly and replaced fascia. Normally, this is not a complicated job but the gutter covering the fascia could not be removed and he had to work around that obstacle. Very professional work, and I was especially impressed with and appreciated that he wanted me to review his work closely to make sure that I was satisfied.

Rocco and his wife Pat did an excellent job. They came out the morning after I called to provide an estimate. Once I accepted their quote (which included labor and materials), they started the work 3 days later (on a Sunday) and completed the job in 3 days. I did not have a plan for the deck but after I described what I wanted, Rocco he was able to provide guidance and create a functional solution. All materials were delivered by Home Depot first thing on day 1. Rocco and Pat were punctual each morning and went right to work. Rocco is extremely conscientious. He isn't happy with just "good"; he is a perfectionist and demands the best quality. I was extremely impressed with his work ethic. Since St. Pete doesn't get frost, the perimeter posts could have rested on piers. However, Rocco dug and sank the posts 18" below grade. Interior posts were supported on piers. All posts were no more than 5' on center from any other post in all directions which exceeds specs for 2x6 Southern Yellow Pine (from what I've read). The deck is extremely solid and doesn't have 'weak' spots. The final product exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend using Rocco.
Description of Work: Built a 10' X 16' deck (24" above ground) on the back of the house with two sets of stairs.

He and his wife came over together on the weekend to give us an estimate. The estimate for the facia on the front was so low we asked if he could fix the back. The price for both was better than we had planned. We did a flexible date to get the work done, but due to the rains it happened the next day. All that we wanted done was done beautifully and we are delighted. We have a garage that needs help (ceiling & insulation) and we are planning to call them after we get our tax refund.
Description of Work: We had some facia rotting out on the front of our house and needed some screen on the back of the house facia.

Did exactly what they promised: created a seamless extension to our existing deck, with a nice design/contour that completely met our expressed goals. Despite horrid weather, they showed up when promised and forged ahead, even though conditions were soggy. The end cost did come in over the original quote, but that's only because they went the extra mile and found lumber that actually matched our original decking (an unusual thickness). They let us know the change in price upfront and secured our approval. We appreciated the extra effort and wonderful end result.

We have had work done before by Rocco and wife/coworker Pat. They are very good and professional. They always give us a fair price and do exceptional work. I have used another handyman business before and they were much higher priced. I had to have Rocco and Pat do the work that wasn't done right by the other handyman business. Rocco has been in business for a long time and is very skilled. I will definitely call him to do more work for us again soon.

They were here when say said they would,and had all materials needed for job. They worked professorially and did a perfect job on replacing all the bad wood. The work they did made the workshop and cottage look new. They took all old material away and when they were finished everything was clean. This was the second time we used them,the first was replacing our front porch and the did a great job on it. We will definitely use them again.

Description of Work: I hired them to the carpentry work for a new 50 x 30 roof. |Rocco and his wife do all the work. Rocco coaches while wife does all the labor. |The work to be done was. |1. Tear down rotted fascia, joist, and two rows of tongue and groove on roof decking at rear of house. Replacing with new wood |2. Put up new fascia on the 2 sides the house. |3. Run a 1 x 2 pressure treated on all 3 sides for the drip edge. |The finish product was only okay work. They didn't miter the fascia boards and they had to scab in two pieces. Any good carpenter would miter their finish boards to fit and would take the time to measure out their cuts so as not to scab in a 2 inch piece at the end. Also they installed 1 x 3 for the drip edge. |After complaining about the work they knocked off $300 of the $2300 agreed upon price. After they left I had to rip down all the 1 x 3 they installed and I installed the 1 x 2. I also ripped down 2 fascia boards and re-cut 2 new ones to rid it of the 2 inch scabs they left behind. I wasn't too happy.

They completely rebuilt my front porch in a day and a half. They got here early, with all supplies they needed; worked hard; and did a beautiful job. We were so impressed that I have them here again today. They have already installed a new front door; a new side door for my garage; fixed a gate on my fence; and are now installing a double gate on the other side of my yard, I HIGHLY reccommend them for any job ! I am sure I will use them again in the future.and will tell all my friends and family about them. Cindy Sturtz

.Overall, Rocco and his wife are a great team that we would highly recommend to anyone who is in need of carpentry. They are easy to work with, honest, and will look out for you best interests. They have integrity.We plan to call upon them again soon.
Description of Work: We selected Rocco DeSimone from Angie's List, and we are so glad that we did. His wife, Pat, spoke to me on the phone and was able to set up an estimate for the next day. He was there on time and readily understood the problems that needed attention. He gave us a quote to replace the existing stair treads, risers and supports on two sets of outside porch steps, and also do some finish work on the porch itself. He arrived on time the next day, brought the necessary lumber to complete the job, and did a great job. Plus, and this is important to us - the jobsite was left absolutely immaculate. We discussed another outside carpentry project and Rocco had an excellent idea on how to build a roof over the run of tubes from the heat pump into our outside garage conversion in order to weatherproof them and meet the building codes. He once again showed up on time and did a great job. It turned out even better than we thought it would, which is always nice.

I found Rocco on Angie's List under closest to my house. I was able to get an estimate the next day and after talking to relatives about the price and finding his price to be fair, I called him back to set up a repair date. He was able to get the outdated fascia that my house has on it and replaced the rotten wood and fascia and rehung my soffit from it very quickly. He also cleaned up all replaced material from my back yard. I will definitely call him first the next time I have a handyman repair to be done.
Description of Work: I had a 10 foot strip of soffit falling down because of fascia pulling away from my roof due to rotten wood behind it. Rocco was fast to give a fair estimate, get needed special order fascia for my roof and replace rotten wood and fascia very quickly.

They did a very good job and everything looks very nice. We've had many compliments on the shutters which added a lot to the look of the house. Thank you.
Description of Work: Rocco and Pat hung 4 inside doors for us, one of which took a lot of extra work because it was an unusual size. They also put up shutters on the outside, which also presented a problem as one of them was hard to fit due to another fixture that was very close to the shutter and made it a tight fit.
