"We started a light remodel of our walk-out basement in the spring, and some removed drywall on an outer exposed a ton of rot on the studs, sheathing, and siding that isnâ t noticeable from the outside of the house. The original homeowners installed a deck incorrectly and water had slowly been leaking into the basement from the ledger and bad flashing ever since - about 15+ years. This wouldn't have been caught without removing the drywall, but it meant not only having to repair the house damage but also to replace the deck. This deck spanned the entire back side of the house (easily a 750 sq ft deck), so this was no small or cheap project. We reached out to well over 20 companies for quotes and assessment. Many of them we never heard back from, and just as many wrote off our project as too small or too cheap for them to bother with. Some werenâ t available for several months (understandable), and a couple never even showed up to their scheduled consultations with us. The ones that did communicate decently well were unfortunately far out of our budget for this surprise project. We called 4 Seasons last, because honestly we thought they just did bathrooms and kitchens but an acquaintance suggested them and we figured they wouldnâ t suggest them for the job if they didnâ t do work like that. Talk about a Hail Mary and a saving grace! We submitted our inquiry through their website and Steve was in touch with us the next day. He came out a day or two later to review the damage and the project, and gave us a quote for the work only a couple days following that. So all of this communication and information, within the same week. Thatâ s a big deal! We also liked that in his assessment, Steve really listened to what WE wanted as opposed to many of the other companies who just flat out told us what they would do, and left us no wiggle room for discussion. He was also very practical. Other companies wouldnâ t do anything less than pretty much replace the whole back of the house, which is truly unnecessary in every way for our project, whereas Steve looked at how to maximize repair impact and value while minimizing unnecessary waste while staying in our budget, and with full understanding and respect to current building code (he didnâ t cut corners to make ends meet). A few weeks later, Steveâ s team was able to start our project. There are a few different team members for a few different tasks, all directed by Steve who joined them on-site to go over the project details and requirements. The main person was Josh, who stayed on-site for the entirety of the project. He quickly got the rotted material out from the walls, installed new sheathing where needed and water-sealed everything. Our house was built in the early 90s and has no Tyvek or similar product underneath the siding to protect from water, so seeing that material in this â problem areaâ was relieving alongside other self-sealing water membranes around spigots, pipes, etc. They really put some thought into the longevity of this repair. Next was the deck replacement which took about a week since the replacement deck was still huge despite being half the size of the old deck, and there was no sacrifice to quality at all with such a fast turnaround time. The end result is stunning, and we could see every precaution they took to ensure we donâ t run into the same water issues as before and are left with a beautiful, practical deck that we donâ t anticipate having to worry about any more. On top of it all, Steve and his team are truly kind, personable people who exemplified professionalism. We were really impressed and are so grateful to them, and will be recommending them to everyone we know who needs help with a project."

"We have a beautiful outcome but we did 75% of the sanding of the deck and 25% of the patio furniture to meet our quality standards. We were told they were meeting industry standards which we did not believe. There were many late arrivals and even two no shows on the part of his subcontractor. The owner was responsive to our complaints but when he saw we could make the deck wood look new by dedicating time to sanding he did concede we were right. Based on the age alone at first we did not feel he agreed it could be achieved. After his subcontractor left we would go over his sanding even of the patio furniture. We were told all boards that needed replacement were part of the estimate but we had to find them, usually after our finger would pop through in order for him to finally change out all of the rotting boards. He took before and after pics, telling us after the fact for advertising, they are not accurate of his subcontractors work. And despite putting in a combined 32 hours of hard labor sanding, as the owners, we were offered no discount for how this all played out. His subcontractor did two things well, power wash and staining. But he used no eye for detail like we had been promised ahead of time. We will consider hiring the owner for future jobs if he does the work himself but never again with a subcontractor."
