"They did a great job! They tore off the old porch and built a new bigger one. Looks better than I expected! So pleased! I highly recommend!"

"Brandon and Cruz completed a number of small projects, including caulking a leaky roof vent and two leaky windows, installing a door threshold, repairing a ceiling drywall crack, and replacing an exterior wood handrail. All done with attention to detail and excellent results! They are professional, friendly, and diligent. I recommend these two and look forward to working with them again."

The crew that did the work (Renee Torres and crew) were great.  The salesman, Bryan,  not.

 the salesman seemed likable enough and drew up the proposal so that we could have  two sides priced separately since we didn't know how much participation the side neighbors wanted to have  and whether we would replace the back fence or not.

Near the time the job started, I called him and told him that we were not going to replace the back fence. He said that he had ordered the wood "just in case" but would not bring it to the site. Most of our discussion involved him encouraging me to start on the fence.  It had just stopped raining after several days of rain.  Bryan  try to answer my objection by pointing out the sun had been out two hours (3-5 pm!).   I had been warned by my neighbor not to let them do the fence on wet grass or they might ruin the grass.  I went outside, heard the "squish squish"  when I walked and declined to start for another couple days! Later, Renee confirmed that that was true and that he was glad I had waited.

Later, the crew chief asked if I had an updated contract and I I said that I had told Bryan that I trusted him and that he didn't need to come out and redo the contract (it was about a 20% change).

The crew did an outstanding job.   Our  neighbor has pet turtles and was concerned that they might have burrowed near the fence. One of the crewmembers actually knew a lot about turtles and located them before starting. He could also assure me that there would not be baby turtles yet because he knows the lifecycle of turtles but would watch out for the eggs. They were very careful in that part of the yard.    They also, overall, did a very meticulous job  With all boards closely abutted, no exposed nail ends (a problem I read about when reading reviews of other companies), no nails left behind anywhere and a carefully constructed gate.

I was looking forward to doing this happy review when Renee stopped by to collect the check. I asked him how much I should  deduct for the back fence.   The price was on the proposal,  but they had discounted the overall job and thrown in the gate for free so I need to know what percentage to deduct from the quoted cost of the back fence. He called Brian and Brian said I needed to pay for the back fence because he had ordered the boards. I had not asked him to order the boards or even been in a particular hurry to put the fence in and we had told them that we were considering leaving the back fence or using the neighbors.

He got quite unprofessional saying over and over  "pay whatever you want" even as I kept trying to ask him to calm down, listen and tell me what a fair percentage of the original back fence cost would be.  Renee  was there and could confirm to me that I had stayed calm (afterwards I was not so much!)   In the end, I gave Renee a check with the $500 quoted for the back fence deducted rather than trying to figure out whether it should be $50 less or so.   Renee  was going to call Brian's supervisor but I haven't heard anything from them.

So not quite a POH  but a very worthwhile contractor to use, if you can work with some other salesman, since the actual crew was excellent.   Just don't let them squish around in a swampy backyard :-)

The company provided a quick and fair quotation using photos and measurements that I provided of the deck along with a description of the services I was requiring.  Upon my acceptance of the quote, the work was scheduled that week.

When the technician arrived, he assessed that due to the previous staining job being performed on wet pressure treated wood that we would need to use a different type of stain product than was originally quoted.  The difference in price was ~$50 and we mutually agreed to the change in scope.

The technician performed the cleaning on the first day.  The cleaning consisted of a blower to remove any large debris and a pressure wash with a cleaning solution.

The staining occurred on day two and was applied with a gas-powered sprayer.  We had chosen a Sherman Williams Solid Color Traditional Russet Superdeck Stain.  As Good As New offered a 3 year warranty for this product.

Upon completion, the technician and I walked the job and looked for missed spots.  We found none.  He then gave detailed instructions on how to care for the new stain and told me to call if we had any issues during the warranty period.

Overall a very positive experience with As Good As New.

"The pavestone work these guys did for us was outstanding!   The pattern on the S shaped walkway required hundreds of cuts and they all look great.  A very professional install that I continually receive compliments on how great it looks.

"Fine. They also did other stuff they said they needed to do. Replaced rotted decking etc"

"This was a major project that took about one month to complete - much faster than most contractors. Jose always made good suggestions and often saved us money by repairing/painting instead of replacing. The job was started early and finished in less time than we expected. Sandra handled the contracts and financial arrangements. Both Jose and Sandra were very responsive and professional. We highly recommend J.Y.Handyman!"

"We value Alex’s integrity, professionalism, and workmanship. He assisted us greatly with insurance claim, and went above and beyond to make roof replacement easy. We have hired him to do some other projects, too. Absolutely recommend!"
