Get matched with top deck or porch repairers in Oakland, MD

"I am a senior with a background in construction.  After reviewing many contractors and speaking with some of them, I immediately knew I hit the jackpot when I spoke to Danny.
 
1.  He knew exactly what I needed and wanted done when I first spoke to him.  This entailed the replacement, repair, and installation of the items listed above with attention to quality in materials, prevention of future problems, a fair price, and a commitment to starting and showing up once the job was initiated.  Danny exceeded every expectation in these regards!
2.  I silently knew in advance manufacturers, quality and cost of exterior doors (including the french door), storm doors, door locks and deadbolts, leak-proof door sills for 6 inch exterior walls and a leak-proof barrier on the bottom of the door frames.  Without knowing of my preferences, Danny suggested the identical manufacturers and materials I had in mind.  At this juncture, we met and I hired Danny to perform the work.
3.  I am beyond pleased with the outcome of Danny's effort on this project.  As an example of his integrity, he asked me to trust him in the design and installation of an exterior octagonal window in a bathroom.  My wife and I were literally blown away with a handcrafted symmetrical waterproof tunnel and inside wall frame he created - more akin to an artistic piece than a window.
4. Inside work was always minimally invasive using tarps and soft shoes rather than work boots.  Outside and inside cleanup at the end of each work day was respectfully performed leaving no mess.
I would recommend Danny to anyone requiring any kind of interior or exterior installation, modification, or repair as I have seen firsthand examples of his experience, skills, and personal and business ethics.  In fact, Danny is presently working on costs to replace our roof."

"Castillo has completed two jobs for me and I will be hiring them in the future for a 3rd. For the roofing job, they were able to skillfully repair and repaint woodwork on the eaves of my historic home. For the second job, they replaced/ repaired a badly damaged wooden porch. Castillo employees have been prompt, efficient, polite, and the jobs have been reasonably priced."

"I hired this company based on reviews from Angie's list.  My experience was a bit different than the A + rating they had.  The answered my call for a quote and arrived on time.  The communicated in Spanish about everything.  We all walked the house together and I pointed out everything that needed painting.  We had a discussion about the master bath, the last words I heard George senior tell me was "we can fix this".  They quoted me a price of $3400.00 and said if I got everything done at once, he would take $200.00 off.  I didn't get other quotes because I just moved in and time was a factor, so I can't really comment on price.  During the week, they dropped of a large paint sample thing to make may choices from.  They arrived early to start the two-day job, a Friday and a Saturday.  They finished the job on Saturday, as promised.  My master bath was not painted, the wood on the steps was not painted, they removed all the drapery hardware and it was tossed out apparently, they took a blind down in the master bedroom and I had to remind many times for them to fix it, they did with crazy glue.  The walls and ceiling are beautiful but the trim is horrible.  I am still painting over spots that were missed or the paint was wiped off when they cleaned the floors.  There was a quarter sized drop of paint on my maple dining room table.  There was a large spot of white trim paint on the colored wall in the hall, but worst of all I continue to clean small spots and areas where there is white paint on the oak floors. They did do me one favor and lift a TV back up above the fireplace that had been taken down for painting. They did leave all the extra paint in the basement, one bucket not closed and has a paint roller floating in it.  The worst thing was them teasing my dogs and getting them agitated and pushing each other towards them and laughing.  Overall, I don't think I had an "A" experience.  Unfortunately I would not recommend them or use them again.

"Not really what I expected ... we had a communications breakdown to start with and they showed up at the house unannounced at 8am on a holiday weekend. When we have had our gutters cleaned in the past, they normally would either sweep out or scoop out the gutters and then run water through them to cleanout the rest. This company just brought a leaf blower to get the job done. Considering the fact that I have a three story townhouse, who really knows how well they cleaned them out?"

"Peter is very responsive and thorough. I will definitely be calling him again for future maintenance and repairs. Highly recommend."

"We had numerous seam repairs in our ceilings and then I wanted all the ceilings painted.
 The workman was meticulous about keeping everything as clean and dust free as possible.
All areas were shrouded in plastic sheeting and all floors were protected.
He arrived on time, and worked longer each day than I expected.

"We bought a big deal from Angie's List and returned it after Garry explained that he had not authorized the big deal but since we had bought the deal, Garry agreed to honor the price for the bathroom remodel. His team showed up to start work a few weeks (or maybe months, I can't recall) later and the whole bath remodel took 3 or 4 weeks.
The good stuff:
-The area around the bathtub was tiled and the quality of that work was excellent. 
-Another bonus was when Garry realized that our toilet had an unusual rough-in size and he called all around town and found a company that had a toilet that would meet our needs in stock. This saved us from the time and expense of having a toilet special ordered.
-Lastly, and I think this one is huge, about 14 months after our remodel, our downstairs neighbors called to complain of a leak that seemed to be coming from our toilet. I asked our building maintenance guy about it and he suggested that when we added the additional flooring in the bathroom perhaps we didn't have enough wax rings under the toilet to seal the connection. I called Garry to see if his team could come out and fix it and he came out himself to do the repair a few days later at no charge. I really appreciate that he stood behind the work his team did.
The not so good stuff:
-We had planned to have a new bathtub installed and therefore the bathtub was used as a storage space during the remodel and it got pretty beat up. When it came time to remove the old tub the team realized that the plumbing was not easily accessible (we live in a condo) so instead they would refinish our current tub. Since the tub had gotten pretty beat up during the remodel the final result wasn't as nice as it could have been. Also, the refinish has started to chip so it's not as durable as a new tub would have been.
-Another down side was that there were some spots on the wall that were missed when it came time to paint. They had been puttied but the fellow forgot to sand and repaint them. Since they were partially covered by cabinets we didn't realize this right away.
-The floor tiles seem to not quite hit the wall in a few spots so there are gaps between the baseboard and the floor.
Overall the bathroom looks new and clean so I'm happy.

"They did some kitchen floor repair for me. Showed up on time, completed the job in a timely and Professional manner."

"Very nice. Rate it an A. It was probably three to four weeks later because he had a very busy schedule and then he did another job for me after that. He worked on my deck which I originally purchased on Angie's List and then he removed some very large bushes for me and chopped down a fall tree. He did an excellent job. And I might use him for other jobs. The worst part was just getting him scheduled because he was very busy. The best part is he did a good job."
