Get matched with top wood stairs and railings installers and replacers in North Myrtle Beach, SC

"Tom and Rex did an outstanding job installing a 22 foot high fretwork panel accent wall in our entryway. I would trust them to do any upcoming work in our home. They are professional, prompt, and work very clean."

"On this last visit Scott Barnhill worked on our irrigation system and drainage. This had been his 6th visit or so to our property and we are very pleased with him. Each visit lasts about 5 hours for which we are charged $250.00 and he performs a great variety of services. We have had him repair plumbing leaks, install grab bars in tiled showers, install sink popups, correct improper wiring in outlets, install GFI outlets, trace wiring circuits and hang large and heavy pictures/paintings in addition to replacing the garage wall unit for the irrigation system, digging up and replacing irrigation heads and crawling under my house to investigate drainage issues. His ability to perform so many different tasks in a professional and courteous manner at reasonable rates makes him a very desirable service provider.

"So Many Problems!! (though they tried hard to resolve them) Do NOT make the mistake we did and let them talk you out of pulling a permit. The work by this contractor should definitely be inspected. MA Design quoted a low price, used cheap (Home Depot grade) materials, and relied on workers with limited English skills. Plumbing and carpentry were problematic, seemingly due to inadequate training for some workers, spotty communication and quality control from supervisors, and some sloppy attention to detail. We should add that our foreman, John L, and the workmen were willing enough to fix problems after we discovered them, though we had to pay for time and materials when we found MA Design’s quality standards to be unacceptable. The end result of the bathroom remodeling seems OK and we hope that no more nasty surprises turn up in the future. The two supervisors are generally courteous and anxious to please, but poor communication with their workers and sometimes with us seemed to be typical for this contractor. Here are specific examples of our problems: PLUMBING 1. The plumber (apparently not licensed) installed the wrong shower controller in the wall, tiled over the wall, then tried to hide this mistake by sticking on the control handle taken from the shower controller we had specified. Of course, the controller did not work properly and we discovered what had happened by poking through the unused shower parts and calling the manufacturer. To correct this error, MA Design had to cut a hole in the plaster wall of our hallway. MA Design did repair the plaster but now we have an additional painting job because of their mistake. 2. We also discovered that their “plumber” tried to attach the tub spigot to flexible PEX tubing rather than to a solid copper pipe anchored to a stud in the wall. The spigot worked loose in just a few days. No qualified plumber would have made such a rookie mistake. Repairing this error also required the hole in our hallway wall. Clearly, no qualified supervisor inspected the plumbing before the tile went up in the shower enclosure. 3. Just 2 months after MA Design wrapped up the work, we found a serious water leak coming from the ceiling below the remodeled bathroom. This ruined the ceiling and of course ruined the paint job we had just completed in the room below the leak. To their credit, the supervisor quickly came out, cut a hole in the ceiling, and replaced a flawed PEX tubing fitting with a quick-apply fitting to stop the leak. MA Design then cut away large sections of water-damaged ceiling in two rooms, let things dry out for a few weeks, and applied mold-kill spray to address the mold that had formed. It seems that a fitting on the PEX tubing was not properly crimped. This reinforced our belief that the MA Design workers doing plumbing on our job were not well qualified and that MA Design did not choose to or did not know how to inspect work adequately. Several weeks later, MA Design eventually had the joint repaired by a licensed plumber and repaired the holes in the ceiling. 4. The shower enclosure tiling was done OK for the most part but we found holes in the grout around some tiles. We suspect that the grout job was substandard for another reason: the grout sealing the tub to the floor is cracking and flaking after only 2 months. CARPENTRY 5. We replaced the bathroom window with a safety glass window but MA Design replaced the prior window trim and window sill with lesser quality trim and no window sill whatsoever. This was a complete mismatch with the rest of the house. MA Design quoted use of “standard” trim. If MA Design’s estimate assumed replacing trim with something so obviously out of place with the rest of the house, this should have been clearly stated in the quote. We ended up paying to rip out their trim and replace with trim that matched the rest of the house. In fact, the lumberyard’s “standard” trim exactly matched the trim elsewhere in the house so we felt that MA Contracting’s use of “standard” to describe their materials was deceptive. 6. They also installed a new window in an adjacent room. They made the exterior windowsill out of a very knotty piece of pine, inviting future rot. Even worse, no drip edge was cut into the underside of the sill, which could lead to water wicking under the sill and getting into the exterior siding. No well qualified carpenter would have made a mistake like that. PAINTING 7. MA Design did very little painting for us, just some primer application after drywall installation. Still, the workman on our job made a rookie mistake. He applied primer to a repaired ceiling with a rough wall roller and then applied primer to the doorway trim with that same roller rather than with a brush or smooth roller. The result: the formerly smooth doorway trim now had a rough, thick layer of paint that looked and felt awful. It took us 2 hours of sanding to restore the doorway trim to a smooth surface. This experience reinforced our general impression that many, if not most, MA Design workmen are not properly skilled or trained for the work they are doing. COORDINATION & COMMUNICATION 8. We agreed at the outset which fixtures were to be bought by MA Design and which by us, but MA Design sometimes bought the wrong items, which resulted in confusion and delays. In many cases, we ended up buying the needed fixtures ourselves just to keep the project moving. 9. On at least 10 days, workers were expected but none showed up and MA Design did not call to inform us of this in advance."

"Dillon has quite a gift for this. His floors are AWESOME! He was able to find a stain that blended our oak and pine together yet brilliantly displayed beautiful wood grain for the first time since we have owned the house. We are THRILLED with our floors! If you have a similar project, I would STRONGLY recommend hiring Dillon Wood."

Old cabinets and all cardboard packaging removed. Old formica counter tops reconfigured and reinstalled to be refinished by homeowner. All agreed upon improvements completed and additional outlet installed. Brody and crew both professional and efficient. Would recommend and rehire."

"We had some porch / hand rails that were in need of painting and repair. Anthony and Brandon came through, again! This is the second time in less than a month, that I hired these two young men. They repaired my railings, cleaned them and painted them. They did a fabulous job. I said in a previous review, that I would hire them again. They listen to the project, gave a fair price and arrived on time and completed the work. They clean up behind themselves. Highly recommend giving these guys an opportunity."

"extremely well done job, very professional and he was very reasonable with his charges. I plan to use him again in the future. He only installed the vinyl plank flooring but we took care of the removal of the old flooring and installation of the quarter round, that was included on the negotiated price of $2.00 per square foot."

"Jimmy Zeski, the Owner provided us with a complete, itemized schedule and price of work to Pressure Wash our 2,000 SF Log Home, to caulk and completely stain the house with Honey colored stain and caulk that we, the homeowners, purchased from Southland Log Homes, Irmo, SC.
To say that the workers from FreshCoat of Charleston, SC were professional paint/stain personnel would be a complete understatement of their work and dedication to providing an absolutely top-of-the-line new finish and appearance to our log home! The two workmen, who were assigned to our job, Edwin and Armando worked in extremely hot and humid conditions for almost five complete days.  (They had the added problem of having to work around an extended period of time to allow the house to dry three days after pressure washing, and then had to have three days of dry weather after caulking and staining were performed).  These two men at all times provided extremely professional work, cleaning up and policing up the area each and every day.  To say they went above and beyond the scope of work would be doing an injustice to their professionalism.  The Owner, Jimmy, stopped by several times checking on the progress of the work, and my wife and I feel that he was extremely satisfied with the work and progress of the job. 
My wife and I would re-hire this group for any future jobs and we actually questioned them concerning performing future work on our home in the following four or five years.  You can not go wrong hiring FreshCoat to perform your paint/staining jobs!

"Tom and his team did a great job. He's reasonably priced and they were very professional. He started when he said he would be able to start and did the work in a timely manner. I would definitely hire him again in the future, if needed."
