Excellent. They did the job in one day. It was exactly what was advertised. They told us there is no interruption or no disturbances. I'm just waiting for the 90 days to be over. It was exactly as advertised. It was a $1,500 special. The deck looks very good. They called me within a week. They came out the week after that and they had me on the rotation within a week. All this took place in the month of May. They were very professional. There were no nails or anything left over.
Description of Work: I used them to build a front deck.

It went well. There was a rain postponement and then a traffic delay another day. They called each time before the appointment time to let us know. The deck was sanded, power washed, then re sanded to remove the old stain that had lifted. Three boards were rotten and they replaced them. I would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: The deck needed re staining and this crew did a great job.

I am very happy with everything about the experience and would hire this team again. I really did not compare prices for this piece of work, since I didn't measure the deck and compare it to the Angie's List deal offer, so I ended up paying quite a bit more than I had expected and am not sure if I got a "good deal" or not. They did a great job, on time, as promised. I only hope they return when it is dry and replace the gas grill which I cannot move alone!
Description of Work: I needed a 3 yr. old wood deck pressure washed, sanded and re-stained because those who did it the first time used bad materials or didn't do it correctly.
