"In all cases he put in what he wanted, and in all cases it was a lot cheaper and WITHOUT RECEIPTS . We were charged for the upgrades but did not get them (Refused to provide receipts,even when asked repeatedly (we have texts from him saying NO RECEIPTS, NO RECEIPTS! NO RECEIPTS!). They cut a huge hole in our garage ceiling for I have no reason why. Also one in the bathroom closet. Bought cheaper toilets than the ones we chose. Became very annoyed with my wife, said he would return them but didn't and installed them anyway. This we know because they still had the identifying sticker still on it. They put the wrong flooring in. We picked one that would match the existing hallway floor. It was an upgrade so we were charged more money and they put in the cheap floor anyway. The bathroom tub was supposed to be a nice tub to go with the expensive tiles we picked. They put in the cheapest tub they could buy and refused to take it out. They then put non slip silicone strips on the bottom that makes it look even cheaper. We came to find that the reason for the strips was to hide a chip that was there. They were repeatedly told we wanted SLIDING shower doors. They purchased the cheapest one they could find with a door that opens out. We asked for power flush jet toilets. They purchased watersense toilets, got mad when we told them it was not what we wanted. Finally said they would return them but put them in anyway. They left the water sense sticker on them is how we were sure. . There were cabinets put in without spacing and as a result the doors and drawers wouldn't open without scraping against the one beside it. We had to replace and buy new ones. The countertop was installed without having a plumber come in beforehand and set up the drain, so now installation of a garbage disposal is impossible without removing the countertops and cabinets. In both bathrooms, the wall niches have mostly gray and dirty white half inch thick threshold pieces to box them out (our bath is brown based) that were cut short at the ends, then filled with gray grout as filler. They couldn't look more horrible. They were also asked to put in white grout to match the brown and white of the bathroom tiles. They put in gray. Towards the end, we asked for proof of license to contract along with receipts. They refused. We told them not to continue work until they could give us receipts and proof of license. The very next day, I came down to find workers there scrambling to finish the job they had so far taken them two months to do. We received numerous and lengthy text messages from them cursing us out, accusing us of sexual impropriety and calling us foul names until we finally had to called the police. Succinctly, this company and the persons we dealt with, Perry Panaccio and his brother Al Panaccio, are a nightmare and not people you ever want have do anything for you! I am seriously considering suing, which I have never done...it is that bad!"

"NexGen installed metal roof in main house and asphalt singles for the garage, and I really enjoyed the process and was very happy with my new roof. Upon their suggestion, we also re-did the siding of attics, the fascia (custom bent aluminum capping), as well as gutter replacement to meet the requirements of metal roofing. The roofing and surroundings are look really nice. I found NexGen based on Angi’s recommendation. After talked to three contractors, I felt that they had the most experiences with metal roofing, very knowledgeable about the service and product, and the pricing was reasonable. The project took about a month to complete, and I had no regret to have them installed the roofing and accessories. After signed the contract, the project started with a welcome letter, which detailed the steps and the manager to be responsible for each step. I received text messages and emails ahead of time for the coming events, such as selecting the materials/colors, signing the documents, delivery of the dumpster truck or roofing materials, or crews coming for daily works, etc. Whenever I have questions and concerns, I either sent the text or call, the manager would be back to me very quickly. Not only the managers were very professional, but also the crew. After removing the old roofing, the underneath was carefully inspected, and damaged plywood was replaced. They made sure that the new installed metal panels were well protected when reaching over for the sidings installation. They always cleaned up after a long day of work, no matter how late it was. Due to the structure of my house, which there were a lot of details surrounding fascia and frieze board, they were patient to go through for capping, and it probably required much more work than initially planned, so they even came during the weekend to get it done. Overall, I am very happy with the project and would consider NexGen for other projects or recommend to others."

If you notice visible damage like holes, split boards, or termite damage, structural issues such as rot, mold, warping, or damaged support posts, or safety concerns like loose railings or rusting hardware, it might be time for a new deck. Upgrading your deck enhances your outdoor living space, increases your property's value, and improves safety for your family.
Building a rooftop deck costs between $25,000 and $50,000 , depending on structural enhancements, materials, and labor. While the upfront cost is higher, rooftop decks offer excellent ROI, potentially recouping your entire investment.
Deck repairs cost between $800 and $3,500. When your deck shows signs of damage, such as loose boards, weakened railings, or mold, the repair costs fall within that range. The expense is determined by the severity of the damage, the decking material, and the labor charges in your area. Immediate repairs keep the structure safe, prolong the deck’s lifespan, and protect your property's value.
Composite decking is more expensive than wood because it is engineered for durability and low maintenance. Unlike wood, composite materials resist rot, fading, and warping, eliminating the need for regular staining or sealing. The manufacturing process and high-quality materials contribute to the higher price. Over time, composite decking saves money on maintenance and replacement, making it a cost-effective investment.
Composite decking delivers outstanding durability and significantly lower maintenance requirements than wood. Its materials resist rotting, fading, and warping even under harsh weather conditions. The high-performance construction negates the need for frequent staining or sealing, ensuring long-term structural integrity and a consistently attractive appearance for your outdoor living space.
Adding a deck increases your home’s value by creating an enhanced outdoor living space that appeals to buyers and improves overall property aesthetics. Installing a wooden deck can offer up to a 52% ROI, while composite decks deliver around a 40% return. The value boost depends on the deck’s size, material, design, and upkeep, making it a smart, long-term investment.
