DAC did the required painting, but assessed that quite a bit of older, rotting wood had to be replaced for structural integrity. So, the job grew from a wood paint job only to one of signification wood replacement and painting later on, after the new treated wood had a chance to cure. One small area of the walkway had to be repainted, as the original was applied when one small walkway section of the existing exterior wood (in the shade) was not sufficiently dry. DAC knows what they are doing, and the results are excellent.
Description of Work: DAC (Mr. Collins) agreed in about September 2013 to prepare existing wood and repaint existing wooden dock, deck, and walkway at house entry. Some wood planks had to be replaced. Most of the work was completed in fall 2013, the remainder in 2014 after the winter of 2013/2014.

Dallas was first referred by a trusted local realtor at Smith Mountain Lake and assisted us in evaluating houses when we were shopping. After we bought our house in Goodview, Bedford County, he assisted in the selection of exterior siding vs. wood, synthetic decking and railings based on aesthetics, price, maintenance and durability in mind. Based on our selections, he and his crew did a beautiful job installing to our satisfaction. When we decided to convert a lakefront covered deck structure into an enclosed and quot;houseand quot;, Dallas provided the informal concept, design and materials advice with which we made all our decisions. He also diagnosed structural integrity issues and corrected those before beginning the main project. He and quot;personalizedand quot; his approach with an appreciation for our and quot;part-timeand quot; residence here, our grown children and grandchildren's use, and our possible eventual retirement here, as well as our budget. He offered references to other service providers for work he does not do, including an excavation and tree removal contractor with whom he had first-hand experience. Dallas proved to be trustworthy and accommodating to us as and quot;absentee ownersand quot;, communicating well and visiting with us on weekends and after hours. His architectural and design background were a tremendous and quot;value addedand quot; advantage in deciding what we wanted to do, as well as who we wanted doing it. Now that the separate projects are completed, we are completely satisfied and will not hesitate to call on him for the next project, and recommend him without reservation.
