"First of all, a happy thank you to Michael Summerlin and his team for building us a beautiful deck! During the process Mr. Summerlin answered any question in a detailed manner, provided clear communication about scheduling, and kept the budget in mind when problem solving. Due to the pandemic, all workers wore masks and kept socially distanced during in person interactions when requested. Additionally, Mr. Summerlin was consistently onsite reviewing the work done by his employees, and any needed corrections were done quickly."

"The area below the deck was covered with an oily, greasy, slippery residue ie, flagstone patio, stucco house walls, stone support pillars for deck, and numerous potted and bedding plants. Even the doormat was greasy. It had been explained to me that there would be a waiting period of 3 wks between the power wash of the joists and the spraying of the sealant. After the power wash I texted to remind the contractor for the stone area and plants to be covered, but did not know that the sealant would be applied the very next day to wet wood…and without any protective covering to the patio, pillars, house, and plants. Windows thankfully were covered. I slipped on the greasy doormat when I discovered the problem the next morning. I was not at home the day of the spraying. The cans left in the driveway said not to spray on wet wood, to protect areas/plants/objects not being sprayed, and remove immediately any overspray with compliant cleaner. I made the first payment for materials at Lowe’s ($3182.99) in July. The second payment was for posts and 2x4 wood ($1800-no receipt given) combined together with $7000 requested by contractor unexpectedly one Friday afternoon. He usually just dropped by- no appts or advance notice. Contractor left immediately after getting my check to “pay my guys”. At this point I have paid $11,982.01 toward the $14,500 contract, leaving approximately $2517. 01. Although Gerry has made numerous trips to my home, he has not brought me a copy of my signed contract or the second receipt for more materials -$1800. I asked at least 3-4 times for these documents. There was some adjustment to the original design because I did not want the small pickets seated on a huge horizontal 2x6 board. This necessitated a return of the bottom boards in exchange for smaller 2x4 boards which were then placed vertically at top and bottom to hold pickets. At the beginning of the project, I pointed out to the contractor that one of the existing posts had wood rot. Another post was unstable and I approved new posts. I had 7. He put in 14 per code but they were much smaller than original ones. That was ok with me. I have no receipt for the post wood (part of the $1800 I think) but a neighbor-house builder-contractor came by and checked Lowe’s cost for posts between $800-900. Other material might have been in that rounded figure, but again, I have no receipt. All of those posts were installed, but several were then removed because of damaged wood. I don’t feel I should pay labor twice for those posts, nor do I believe that the labor costs boosted my expenses to $18,000, a total figure the contractor jotted on a note paper, but we never discussed a new figure. Last week I asked to meet with the contractor at his convenience and asked again for him to bring my signed contract and receipts for the $1800 for “materials”. He chose 2 pm Friday, but at 3pm, I texted because he was not there. At 3:15 I told him we would need to reschedule. I had 2 appts with stone masons to assess the damage to my stonework. Both were shocked at the damage and explained that flagstone absorbs oil and power washing would not remove all the blotchy stains. They also looked at the pillars and chimney stone which was turned dark from the oil and the gravel in the driveway which was turned black. There were oil drip lines on the stucco walls and a few areas where stones had been broken from the chimney, patio, and a post. They described the procedure for removing stones to replace damaged areas so they would not be “puzzled” in with small pieces. Those areas needed to be rebuilt. Someone glued random stones into the patio and chimney with white apoxy on Friday after 5 pm after I left for dinner. These areas will need to be removed and properly repaired. I contacted an attorney at the suggestion of the stone masons and the staff at Sherman Williams Paint store when I showed them pictures. The staff at Sherman Williams also said the wood should have been dried for 3weeks, even tho it was treated wood. When I texted the contractor that I needed an attorney, he wanted to pressure wash the patio etc and put siding in 2 places and then he would be “finished”. I believe the patio and stonework Will need some significant repairs and the contractor’s liability insurance might need to be explored. I cannot make a further payment until the stone damage has been corrected by a stonework professional and a final figure is fairly negotiated. I don’t think the expense of righting my property damage and getting legal advice to do it is my responsibility."

"super fast on the job with good recommendations on what to buy."

"Les designed, built and installed custom cabinets around our family room fireplace.  They really exceeded our expectations!  He did a great job for a fair price.  Les is a real professional.  We highly recommend him and would call on him again.    "

"Tristan and crew arrived early and worked steadily---finishing the project in only one day instead of two or more as originally thought. The deck suffered from both sun and water damage so the flooring had to be replaced. They did a fantastic job! All were professional, friendly and went beyond the scope of work to address railing issues and recommend future stain products. I would not hesitate to hire Precision Exterior Concepts again and would be happy to provide glowing references to anyone. I could not be more pleased with the results."

"We hired Colton Lingle to turn our unfinished attached basement garage/workshop into a custom library with a window seat. It was a very comprehensive job with many different components (ex: removing/replacing garage door with interior/exterior wall and windows, HVAC access, installing lighting, installing/finishing/painting drywall and ceiling, custom made shelves, trimwork, flooring, etc). He researched what permits we needed and procured them for us. Then, every single day he turned up on time and worked all day until the job was finished, which was all done in a timely manner and with as little interference to our everyday home life as possible. His courtesy, good manners, and professionalism were unparalleled, and very greatly appreciated, especially considering the environment he had to work in, as we weren't even unpacked yet, and we have five large dogs, you can imagine the chaos. He cleaned up after his work and was very careful with all our things. He very generously even tackled a few other tiny projects around the house, as well as gave us good advice about maintenance and future projects in other areas of our home. The quality of his work is masterful. Our new library is flawless and beautiful, and it is precisely what we asked him for. We can't recommend Colton Lingle highly enough. You couldn't find a better contractor if you built him from the ground up yourself."

"Hired them to do our bathroom, they were professional and came prepared. Really helped me out with design. Answered all my questions and I had ALoT. :) highly recommend them, planning to hire them again."

"I'll start by saying I chose Matt because of the reviews here on Angie's List and the photographs of his work on his web site. Matt doesn't come cheap, and we did have significantly lower bids for this job. We felt that these built-ins were going into our great room and needed to look good, like a piece of furniture. We felt confident that Matt could deliver the quality craftsmanship we wanted for this project, and decided the extra cost was justified. Matt suggested a bench under each window with storage and doors below and a Cherry top (seat) on the benches. We decided on a scribed fit against the fireplace, which meant Matt would have to cut the bookshelves to mate with the rock fireplace. Matt shared his plan to build the bookshelves in his shop, described the materials being used and the process he would use to paint the exposed surfaces, gave us a rough date for completion and assured us we would be happy with the result. On installation day, he showed up with his partner Josh and each took a side of the fireplace to work on. They spent the entire day installing our built-ins, and even had to finish up a few details on the following day. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the result. The built-ins look great, and have that quality furniture look we hoped for. The sprayed on lacquer finish is awesome and durable. What an improvement in the room!"

"The painting was done very well, however, they were in too much of a hurry to leave and left a few small things unfinished. When we tried calling them back to get them to come back and complete those things, we received no response. Also, we requested to use a specific deck sealant, but they did not. The sealant had since worn off and we have to redo the whole thing."

"TM was great! He was efficient and hard working. He asked questions when it came to design or anything that came up during the project. Walked us through what he was seeing and gave us recommendations based on our overall goal of stabilizing the deck."
