deck cleaning
+ -1 moreOverall, this was a very sloppy job -- which is what I was trying to avoid by hiring a professional. Tom, or "Aquatic Tom" as he corrected me, came out to my house a few days after my initial call and provided a color chart and business card with barely legible scribbles on it in my mailbox. He called me later to discuss the work and price. He was quite pushy (saying he already had us scheduled), and his price was the most reasonable. He send someone named Doug out a few days later to power wash the deck (went well), and a few days later, Doug came out to do the staining...and this is where our problems started. We came home to a sloppy job -- many spots were barely covered including virtually every post of our 750 sq. ft. deck. I called Doug who agreed to come back later in the week, as long as we marked spots that he had missed. Well, he kind of fixed his mistakes, but we're still finding areas that were not fixed. Plus, there's a strange sheen on 90% of the deck, but in other places he must have used a brush. I could have done the work myself and saved that money. Very disappointed for an alleged professional who has been in business for 30+ years...or at least that what he says. Look elsewhere.

pressure washing, deck cleaning
+ 0 moreTom came out to quote the job and explained everything that would be done. Joe came out to power wash the deck. We then had a rainy week but Joe was great about calling the day before to discuss weather issues and reschedule staining. When the weather finally broke Joe was back to finish the job. Great communication all around. Deck looks great and we love the color stain that Tom had recommended.

Description of Work: I got his name for Angie's list. In all fairness he did not do any work for me nor would I ever hire him. I simply called and asked if he could set up a time to give me an estimate when I am home .. He was quite patronizing. He said there is no need for you to be home. He repeated that several times. He said we come out and see what needs to be done. I said I like to meet the person who I am considering hiring and I want to go over a couple of unique items as I have a home and was going to see about giving him additional work. He continued to give me a hard time and hung up the phone. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask to meet the person that you think you may hire. I am a woman so I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but no matter how good he is, it would seem e to me that he has a difficult personality to work with and who needs that.. I would rather pay a bit more and work with someone who has the capability to hear what I am asking for. I hire out work all the time and when I am treated fairly and a job is well done I tell every one and I have lots of single friends that are always looking for good contractors. I also tell all when I come across someone so unprofessional and arrogant as he was.

deck cleaning, pressure washing
+ 0 moreThey were punctual and professional. It went very well.
Description of Work: They fixed some boards on the deck after they power washed and stained it. They also fixed some broken lattice work on the side of the deck. There was an issue that was addressed and corrected promptly. Our oversized deck looked great after they stained it. We would use them again in the future.

deck cleaning, pressure washing
+ 0 moreWent well.
Description of Work: A B+ really. Tom and his crew performed power washing of my deck and staining. He was punctual, gave me estimates with a complete description and explanation for all the work he was going to do and suggestions for improvement. I also felt Tom was a bit reluctant to to take into account customer suggestions and preference (for type and color of deck stein etc.) prior to estimates and work authorization, a I-know-what's-best-for-you kind of attitude and not very flexible on pricing. I also requested Tom that he provide me with an invoice for the work done for my records but Tom never complied. But, overall, the quality of work that was performed was very good and the work was finished in a very efficient and timely manner.

deck cleaning, pressure washing
+ 0 moreI called Tom for an estimate and we set up a time , he was not able to make that time but called to let me know and although it took a few tries because of schedule conflicts he always called and was very prompt when we were able to set up a time. Tom explained exactly what was needed and what he could do. My deck is large and tiered and includes a semi- inground pool and hot tub so there was a lot to do. Tom explained how the job would be done and how the pool and hot tub would not be effected.He gave me a written estimate and explained each part and itemized the cost including how much stain would be needed. He suggested a stain and how it would work for my deck.He was very informative and although it was more than I wanted to spend because he took the time to explain the costs it seemed fair .The power washing was done one day and because of the weather the staining was not done until a few days later. The men who did the job were professsional and did a great job. They were very careful and and left no mess, I did not have to clean a thing.I am very satisfied with the resultsand would use them again .
Description of Work: I had my deck power washed and stained.

deck cleaning, pressure washing
+ 0 moreThe experience went very well from start to finish. I was a bit nervous since this company did not have any reviews yet. They were local and gave a good estimate so I decided to move forward. They came right away for the estimate and was ready to schedule the work quickly. My phone calls were returned right away. I had a large composite deck (timbertech) that had many mold and mildew spots. We had tried to clean on our own in the past with no luck. They were able to clean off everything with just water (no chemicals used). Everything went well and I would use them again.
Description of Work: I had the back of my house and a very large deck powerwashed. They also cleaned off some iron spots on a retaining wall.
