We couldn't be happier with Kent's work! (And shame on Angie's List for not giving us an A+ option!) He is detail-oriented, and does spectacular work. He tells you what he's going to do and when, and then he follows through. It's too bad I can't include photos!
Description of Work: Kent demolished our old, rotting deck, designed and built a new deck, according to our specs. For part of the deck we asked that he cantilever it off the side of the house. He engaged an engineer to get the design right, and then built it beautifully.

He was creative, prompt, professional. We now have a super deck! The project was done very quickly, but with no compromise in quality. We will have future projects for Kent!

We called him and he came out to the house and we showed him where we wanted the deck. He gave us varied advice and then came back with an estimate. At the last minute we asked him about taking out a privacy fence and putting up another one. He told us about how you could get both sides to look good. He told us when he could start, depending on weather and thats what happened.We had a specific type of railing we wanted from a different company and he worked with them to make sure everything was right. After everything was done he sent us a bill which we paid. End of story. We get lots of compliments and are completely satisfied.He is professional and very good. I wish he did inside work too as I know his work is high quality!
Description of Work: Beautiful deck and privacy fence. We were on vacation while he was doing the work but came back to everything being done to perfection. He had suggestions with the whys things should be done a certain way and we ended up with exactly what was promiced and what we wanted. Can't remember the price but it was worth every penny. He also did a deck for our daughter and son-in-law and that was exactly what they wanted too.Absolutely no complaints. Would highly recommend him.
