Get matched with top deck or porch repairers in Belgium, WI

"The Meinen crew, including the carpenter and painters performed an excellent job restoring rotted and defective siding and trim. They removed light fixtures and drain pipes rather than paint around them. They were dependable and professional. The home looked fantastic upon completion. I would highly recommend Meinen Homes,LLC to perform you remodel and or paint work!"

After reading Watry Homes reviews on this site, we contacted them in March. I had reached the point where I no longer wanted to maintain the house, and after researching siding options and speaking to other home owners, was seeking a contractor to install what I believed was the best siding solution, Hardy Plank. It was our intention to have the work done before the summer months, to avoid the disruption and scheduling conflicts which inevitably happen in high season.

Scott Watry came out and inspected/measured the house on March 17, presented window options and gave an overview of the process. Within a week we had an estimate and we gave him the commitment assuming the work would begin as soon as materials were received within a few weeks. The project did not get underway, however, until June 4th, the day I was leaving for two weeks of travel. My wife provided daily updates in my absence, and glowing reviews of Scott's workers, specifically, Paul and Rob who came in and installed the windows and doors. I met these guys later and they are true professionals who pay close attention to detail. The siders were also efficient and meticulous in their work, and cleaned up every day. The crew had a few guys, but Roberto, who appeared to be their lead, was very responsive to every question or request, and went out of his way to be accommodating. Splattered paint on a portion of our patio and sill appeared to be their only misstep.

In the end, we have a job that met our expectations in terms of quality, fit and finish. It was the punch list of several small items and requests which was emailed to Scott in mid-June that made the final conclusion of the project a little rocky. It turned out that part of the roof over our den did not receive adequate flashing necessary to prevent a leak that ensued after five days of rain. Scott insisted that it was the result of layers of caulk installed by someone else, inadequately sealing an inside corner of the roof. Dan, who was sent out later to make the repair, said the caulk and sealing had been done by their siders, and was still wet. Scott agreed to place a drywall patch in the interior ceiling where there was water damage, but I spent the better part of a day painting the ceiling, trim and walls to original condition once this was done. This put a damper on an otherwise great experience with Watry.

We totally respect Watry's workers and the diligence they exemplified every day. My feelings about Scott with him not taking ownership of the leak and the damage it caused was unfortunate because it would have been so easy to simply do so without casting blame on others. I also feel it would have been appropriate to personally stop by at the project's conclusion (today), to ensure he had a satisfied customer. As it was, he called and asked me to give a check for final payment to his worker before he left, without asking me if I was completely satisfied. In my view, the size and scope of our project would dictate that he do so. 

However, I would not be hesitant to recommend them as a reference primarily because of his crews.

"They cleaned my gutters. They did a nice job of hauling all the stuff away so they didn't just throw it all on the ground. They put it all in a bucket and hauled the stuff away so I didn't have gunk all over my yard. They were clean and professional about it. They did an estimate to do some roof repairs too, but it has taken them 2 months to get back out here so that was kind of interesting. I think they were probably busy from their estimate or something."

"Even though I was late looking to book someone to refinish my deck for the summer, Majic Painting came through and was able to fit me in between jobs. They showed up and took the time to tell me all about my deck -- this is a new house for me and I wasn't sure exactly what I had -- and then went out to the truck and wrote up an estimate in 10 minutes.
They scheduled me for about a week later. Day one was a pressure washing. They made sure to mask off my painted siding and the patio are under the deck. The next day they returned and sanded the entire deck to make sure all the old oil was gone. Since my deck is Brazilian Tigerwood, they couldn't just use stain -- it needed a special application of oil.
They even replaced a few trim pieces that I had knocked off and lost during winter shoveling.
They stopped by a third time to check how the finish turned out and to make sure I was happy.
Overall I can't say enough good things. The deck still looks great. Would definitely hire Majic Painting again.

"Once the work was scheduled, everything went well. They were prompt and efficient. Great job of cleaning the work area after each day. The color of the mortar matched the exsisting mortar and quality seemed good."

"He was very nice. He was very respectful and the porch looks good. He came back when he said he would, and he seems to have done a more thorough job than other people that have done the porch before."

"It went 'just ok.'
This was an Angies special - two painters for one day...basically 16 person-hours of work.
I have painted cedar trim around windows, chimney, garage door and porch columns.

We agreed that the two would get as far as possible in the one day (2 people x 8 hour day).
I bought the paint.
They used tiny little rollers and said their manager did not like them to use brushes or full nine inch rollers.
I don't think the paint coverage was that good.
When I stopped in from work to see how they were doing around 2 pm, they had not yet painted the chimney, so I heightened their sense of urgency a little bit.
Then, when I started studying the parts they had "already painted" I saw some missed spots.
by this time, it was getting to the end of the 8 hours.
I'm still not sure how good the paint coverage is up on the chimney, since some of the lower, "accessible" spots weren't that great.

Lesson learned, I should have stuck around all day to ride herd a little more - but so should the business owner...

"Exceedingly well -- work was done very well, and Curt was able to get the job completed more quickly than expected. As he noticed other small things, he asked if I would like them to do them (like powerwashing my porch.) It's not always easy finding people who will work on a tall house. My house definitely looks much better than before, and I will use Curt for other projects."

"Bryan, Tony, and Chris did excellent work. The quality of everything that was done was excellent. Bryan was diligent in finding a solution for our ceilings after his crew patched, sealed and painted them only to have them crack again within the next couple of days. He brought the crew out, and diligently worked with our ceiling based heating system to ensure no punctures occurred as they attached a thin piece of dry wall to the ceilings, thereby eliminating the heat-induces cracks. They always cleaned up after themselves, even on a daily basis. I thought they did a great job of keeping our house livable while bringing the inside up to present time. They methodically worked from one room to another, minimizing the time we could not use a room. Our bathroom toilet and sink were custom ordered and took much longer to get in that we anticipated, and this contributed to the project finishing at a later time than we originally thought. However, the end result was well worth the wait. Additional improvements were recommended by Bryan and/or his team to enhance the quality of our project. Typically, Bryan added these into scope without increasing the budget, which was very much appreciated. As an example, he made a foot stool and covered it in leather to match our couch. Although these weren't big items, they were additional touches that not only added to the overall finish of the project, but provided an additional level of service to us. Our project took much longer to complete than I originally anticipated. This was mostly due to the late delivery of our bathroom sink, and the fact the first one that was delivered was cracked. I do believe Bryan and his team would have completed all work in the original estimated time if the delivery from Kohler would have agreed."
