Do not trust Joe or this company. TLDR: He made simple but dangerous mistakes that even a handyman could point out. Joe put in a laundry room for us but neglected to put in a P trap, this caused our home to be filled with toxic sewage fumes. He also put linked the laundry to our existing electrical and lighting causing that circuit to overload. When I brought it up to him he said it just needed a bigger breaker. Huge red flag! This is an electrical fire hazard and indeed the electrical outlet got hot to the touch, (it was black when it was removed). Even I know the breaker is there to protect the wires from overheating. Like the other reviewer he ghosted us with unfinished work and still has our deposit. Do not Joe touch any plumbing or electrical he will put your house and life at risk!

Very smooth process. We had the old deck removed and footers poured, then came back to install everything else a few weeks later as we were getting other renovations done to the house. He worked with us the entire time and very grateful for how well it turned out.
Description of Work: Removed preexisting deck, poured footers, built a new frame with stairs using Timbertech decking and metal railings.

Work went great and was communicated with throughout the process with updates and all. Work was done great and blew us away that my wife even made Joe cookies to go home with. 10/10 would recommend again and again.

Very disappointed in overall service. Initially I had hired them to do work on a couple jobs needed on my home and everything was fine. Work was good and thorough. They came as planned for a while but then work became less and less until it stopped completely. Something always came up that they couldn’t make it to do the work on my house. It had been moths since work had been done so when I finally got ahold of Joe hoping to complete my waiting project I was told it was too much for them and couldn’t be completed. It has been over a year since this occurred and I am still waiting on the refund of my money which I was supposed to receive months ago. This business took a very large amount of down payment for a job they never started. I would not ever hire again nor would I recommend them for fear this might happen to someone else. Very unprofessional and criminal.

Other than the supplier sending the wrong posts, and the timeframe was later than I would have liked.. the guys did a beautiful job! Joe would answer all my questions no matter what time I sent him text messages. The guys were nice, they cleaned up the mess made, the job turned out beautiful so I’m very happy.
Description of Work: I had a railing & gate installed on front porch.

Everything went perfectly! Easy communication from the beginning, reasonable pricing, came out and turned an estimate around quickly. Fit us into their busy schedule quicker than anticipated. The gentlemen that came out to work were super helpful and sweet, going above and beyond the job they were there to do. The work itself is excellent too! Very happy with overall process, will be the first call if we need anything else done!!!
