Description of Work: We ripped out our old, rotting deck down to the ground. Joe started the new deck and clear, corregated roof from that point that is about 12 ' deep and 30' + wide. He removed add'l concrete footings that were buried, sawed off deck screws that were cemented into the foundation of the house. Poured concrete in a patch under our step that was concealed by the old deck that definitely invited critters into our house. He dug out any add'l yard that needed to be removed for the new decks size and shape. Poured concrete footings to attach the supports for the deck. Built a gorgeous new deck, straight as an arrow using pressure treated wood. He cut out a small section of the deck so that we can get to the dryer vent below. You can't even tell there is a trap door in our deck - it blends right in! He added support colums and a beautiful roof structure with tapered ends for style to hold up the porch roof (which is the corregated, clear plastic roofing). Supports attached to the house are very sturdy, very nice looking and visually straight. Attached the roofing material - again very straight, clean lines and looks great! Cleaned up all debris and tools from the yard. It looks absolutely beautiful and is extremely sturdy. This is what we needed to be able to enjoy the outdoors in the rainy season! An add'l fix is that the our furnace has a drip pile that comes out of the exterior wall for condensation. Originally, it was done very sloppy and the pipe stuck out onto the deck and looked terrible. Joe cut the pipe, replaced it, brought it closer to the house with brackets and then made a nice little round hole in the deck for the pipe to reach the ground. Looks great!

Description of Work: We have a large, blank wall in our dining room that served no real functional purpose, so we asked Joe from City Bloques to build custom shelves for us for the space. He worked with us in great detail to choose the right wood, shelving height, width, bookcase feet, etc. He was able to build the shelves in three sections and then install them together once they were finished. He did a beautiful job putting the shelves together with grooves, sanded the piece very nicely and after installation, he anchored this big bookshelving unit firmly to the wall. He also remembered to add felt pads to the feet so that they don't scratch our hardwoods. Something I would have completely forgotten to request. The shelves are perfect, beautifully made and very sturdy, They measure approximately 8' high X 15' wide X 9" deep with a notch cut out for our dining bench.

Description of Work: Removal of old screen door at entrance to the house. Replaced broken trim due to prior damage to the door. Hung new, metal security door. Covered rusted screw holes on exterior frame of door (this is a used door that we got at the rebuilding center). Installed a new Pneumatic door closer and enlarged peephole on wooden interior door.
