Description of Work: Over the years, my deck had dropped approximately 3/4 of an inch. When this happened, it pulled the vinyl siding down just enough that when it rained, all the water ran down into my basement wall. My wall, my carpet, and all my woodwork on the inside was ruined. I called Mr John Wandemberg at A Finer Touch Inc, as he was referred to me by a friend, as he was known for his excellent work. John came out, told me what needed to be done, how much it was going to cost, and I hired him for the job. John had the deck jacked back up 3/4 an inch, fixed the siding, put the needed flashing behind it to make sure it wouldn't leak again, sealed it up, reinforced the deck, and that part was done. He also finished & waterproofed the whole deck, replacing needed boards, and removing nails that kept popping up with screws that won't pop up. He then ripped out my whole wall where all the damage was done from the water, replaced all the bad wood, insulation, and drywall. He then painted my whole basement, put beautiful molding around my slider in the basement that had never been there before, and now my man cave/basement looks better then it has in the 16 years I've lived here. He then went out to my deck again, and put supports in the middle of my staircase leading from the deck to down in the yard. This prevented my stairs from shaking while walking down them, and basically stabilized the whole deck staircase. After all this work was done, he installed an Andersen slider that leads from my living room to my deck. What was amazing about all this work he did for me was that he did most of it (when he didn't have a helper) by himself with a severely injured foot that he injured just before he started my job, which required him to have surgery to put PINS in his shattered heal. This man works harder on crutches and hopping around on one foot then most people do on two legs. While putting in the slider, he noticed how bad the flashing was around it, and not only did he seal it properly, he built a new casing around it to prevent further damage, and sealed the whole door with foam insulation. He also used plastic wood on the sides and base, so as to prevent anymore wood damage in the future. I've already noticed my home is staying cooler longer, and my energy bills are going to reflect it. After all this work he's done, we've received lots of rain with storms and nary a drop of water anywhere in the basement or anywhere he did work. One thing I did notice while John was doing all this work was that he was a perfectionist. Numerous times he would check over the work that his helper was doing, and if it wasn't to his liking, he made him do it over again until it was.
