7 months agoI would recommend looking elsewhere. I spent thousands with them and 9 months later my siding still isn't completely finished and so many mistakes have been found. They aren't worth 50% of what i paid them. Improper cuts, damaged siding, incorrect installation of seals and flashing.... company should be named "good enough construction" -

1 year agoI would not recommend this contractor. It took him a long time to complete my project. He has not come back to finalize the finishing touches. He spray painted my steps and the storm door is now covered in paint. The paint is peeling off the railings and steps. Very frustrated with lack of communciation and excuses on this job. -

5 years agoContracted with with Carl for deck refurb. Contracted for premium price hoping for quick and quality job. Carl and one individual came claiming they would do 2/3 of job (power wash and sand) and took a deposit for 2/3 of job. They then left after 3 hours with my deposit with only doing the power washing. In end we cancelled job due to several scheduling excuses and no call no shows. He agreed to send partial refund of deposit and still have not received and he does not answer his phone or reply to multiple texts and emails I have sent. He has forced me to take matter up in small claims. Do not do business with this individual.
