Vail Contracting LLC

Description of Work: My parents were putting their house on the market & needed to have new decking, railings & stairs on their new deck. Matt Vail gave us the best service possible while giving a fair price.

Description of Work: Vail Contracting did a fairly extensive amount of exterior work for me. Matt the owner is very concientious as well as pleasant. The scope of work that Matt did includes roofing, painting, guttering and minor landscaping. One of the primary reasons I hired Matt was because he is a General Contractor which means I didn't have to hire 4 different companies to do the work. Matt brought in the right people to do the work and he managed the whole project with quality personnel for each phase. The first phase of this project entailed cutting a ridge vent into my roof and cutting soffit vents into my soffit every 6 feet. Matt pointed out several places where the soffit was rotted and needed to be replaced. I was very nervous about this particular part of the project because, after all, someone was cutting a hole in my roof. Matt assured me that this was the best route to take to release the heat in my attic and create a better airflow situation. (Now that it's been 100+ degrees for many days in a row, I'm even more pleased that I had Matt put in the ridge vent). The soffit vents look great and are working with the ridge vent to create the desired airflow. The next phase of the project was to take down all of the gutters and replace any facia board that appeared rotten. This was done in a timely manner with expert craftmanship. Matt then brought in his painter who did a tremendous job; Tim was very meticulous. The paint job did take a day or two longer than anticipated but the results were well worth it. I went with a darker color and that probably added some time to the completion date. The most striking aspect of the paint job was the excellent quality of paint. Matt used a Sherwin Williams Exterior Paint that makes the wood look like it was treated with some type of thick exterior coating. The paint was so thick it actually filled in some of the blemishes on the wood and our house looks absolutely lovely. I really believe it will be 8-10 years before I will have to think about painting again. I can't say enough good things about this phase. Once the paint was done the seamless gutters and leaf guards were ready to go up. Since Matt's crew already had the facia boards prepped the gutters went up in one day and without a hitch. It rained lightly the evening they finished so I was able to check their work. The gutters were leak free except for one spot at the end of a run. I called Matt the next day and he was out that afternoon to fix the spot that was leaking. I really appreciated how responsive Matt was throughout the whole process. On the side of my house Matt did do a minor bit of landscaping. He used his Bobcat to level out a couple of large mounds of gravel I had delivered several weeks earlier. He also spent some time with me identifying options for a retaining wall which I did not have built but will definitely have Vail Contracting complete once I have the money.

Description of Work: Matt has done several jobs (mostly small) in my yard. In this particular instance, he trimmed the low branches off of my trees, removed a dead tree, put a large raised flower bed in with pavers, and fixed a loose piece of siding that has been plaging me for years.

Description of Work: Matt is slowly whipping my yard into shape...I can't afford to get it all done at once, and he has been great about doing small jobs along the way. I called to get an estimate on "phase 2" of my back yard--clearing out the trees, brush and construction junk from the rest of the subdivision (one of the bad points of being one of the last lots to be built on) in my back yard, and putting in a narrow raised flower bed/retaining wall. It fit in nicely with his schedule and was all done a week later.

Description of Work: I had a jungle in my back yard, with many downed trees from ice storm this past winter (and from prior years as well). Matt came in and cleaned it all up for me, cut up trees, hauled some away, left some for firewood. My yard is looking so much better now!

Description of Work: He mows and maintains my yard.
