Mr. Torres was great to work with. He was very quick to set up a conference and provide me with an estimate. The estimate was reasonable and he was able to get the project done the next week even though he ran into some problems that were no fault of his own. Once the front porch steps were removed from the house, he discovered that the builder had not done a good job. The builder had not tied the steps into the house and had used cross beams that were not wide enough to provide ample support. That was why the steps always felt "spongy". He explained all of this in a way that made sense. He offered several solutions to the problem and when I asked what he thought was the best solution he told me and explained why it would be the best. It all made sense to me. The additional cost for materials and labor was reasonable and he had the steps completed the next day. My front porch feels secure and sturdy. I have no doubt these steps will be here for years to come. Mr. Torres was polite, professional, fair, and made everything easy to understand. I plan on doing some other home improvements in the next 6 months and Mr. Torres will be the person I call.
Description of Work: Replacing front porch steps.

Miguel is a pro. He did a great job prepping my house which had not seen paint in more than a decade. He was responsive to emails and worked with me along the way if I had found issues. Would recommend him for painting and carpentry.
Description of Work: Exterior painting and trim repair
This is the second time we used Mr. Torres services. What can I say except that he is a true professional. He is responsive, on time, no mess and is meticulous in his work. A joy to work with. I have recommended him to a number of my friends. They agree with my assessment.
Description of Work: Mr. Torres stained two decks, repaired rotted wood around a hot tub enclosure, fixed sunken pavers in my greenhouse, power washed the house and repaired some loose siding.

Mr. Torres is incredible. I can not say enough about him and his crew. They always showed up on time and were very professional. I really appreciated that the work site was kept clean and was immaculate every day when they left. My new deck looks absolutely awesome and I love the new planting boxes built into the deck.
Description of Work: Our twenty year old deck was in terrible shape. Steps and deck boards all needed replacing. He also replaced benches with a wonderful raised garden planter around the entire deck.

Great - he's slow to respond, but that's because he is very busy and trying to meet the needs of his customers. If you have to have it now, Miguel is not the person for you. If you can wait, he's well worth it. He's coming back to paint te house for us soon.

I couldn't have been more pleased with the quality of the job. The only regret is that I didn't give him the job to pour the 14' x 200' aggregate drive to this detached garage which was done 8 months later [that job went to the a sleazeball landscaper from Powhatan VA, whose company changes its name as often as I change my drawers ... and who, fortunately, is now out of business]. When that shoddy work ... or for that matter my main 20-yr old 14'x150' agg driveway ... has to be replaced, Miquel would be my first call. Anyway, Miquel was a pleasure to work with, listened well, was timely [owing to poor weather, he delayed until it could be done right].d
Description of Work: I interviewed four contractors for the job [slab 25' x 39', 4" to 8" thick, with 5' x 25' exposed agg garage apron]; while his quote was certainly not the lowest [and for that reason I, at first, scratched him], after checking his references [glowing, like mine here], he won the job. He and his brother compacted the stone, edged with homasote board, laid and wired off the rebar [per my intricate specs], framed and sloped the apron per my spec, worked the pour, and cut in the expansion joints. I provided all the materials [for some, he sent me to a place I'd never been, saving me $$$ over the Big Box to which I would have gone]. For some, I called in the order and he picked it up for me.

This group did a great job. They showed up exactly on time, did a great job of powerwashing the driveway, walkways and the back deck. Got oil stains off the driveway, got algae or mold or something green off the deck. Left no mess behind at all. Price was exactly as quoted. I'd highly recommend them and if I ever need them again, I won't hesitate to call.

I emailed Miguel Torres Contracting concerning some repairs around my house. The owner called and left a message stating that due to an overload of work, that he would not be able to address my needs until August at the earliest. Although repairs were not done, I appreciate professional calls back stating why they are not able to complete work at this time.
