Get matched with top deck, fence, patio or porch clean and sealers in Chelsea, AL

"On Feb. 12, 2026. I phoned Angis and got a few calls, and I got Roderick Walker. Rods Deck Repair. He looked at my DECK, and I asked him to replace the screens because the animals come in sometimes. He said he would stain by DECK and add screens and nail spindles. Also stain the deck floor. His contract reads terms commence upon 2/13/26 and will continue until 2/28/26. He needed a deposit of $500.00, and I gave that to him in cash, and he initialed it. He said you will owe me $250.00 intervals in his handwriting. Final payment when the job is completed is $500.00. He was paid in cash. I called Angi on Monday and Tuesday, then he showed up. How do you paint a deck and not paint the steps with just 1 coat, then you didn't paint any spindles, you nailed a screen I had super-glued back together, not provided a new screen. I had a piece of plank covering one of the screens, and you did not move it or put a screen there. Also, he did not paint the side of my deck or around the steps going up or down. He told me that it would cost. $800.00 for his labor on this same deck and $250.00 for products, and he will pick that up when he brings the latis to put around the deck. This is the reason for the new price. He is a scammer. I am 75, and I am not stupid. I still have all mine, thank you, Lord. I wish you could somehow keep him away from our house. He met my husband, who is a Vietnam Veteran, and he is in a hospital bed, and I am in remission for breast cancer removal. I am not looking for sympathy just letting you know this guy when he saw my husband little that he knew my husband the one that told me to call because he felt like that paint job should have been 300.00-400.00 dollars He said I know you guys condition and I dont want to put a bad taste in your mouth about black contractors, hell I am black too. The thing about it is, why do you keep charging me a labor fee, and you haven't done anything to my or my husband's satisfaction? Why did he do that?"

"Great work!"

"It has gone very smoothly, I worked with Alfred Pickett, (205) 837-1011, who quoted the job, scheduled the job with one of Authentic Restoration's roofing crews. It is Alfred who stood fast that our roof was damaged and likely that our insurance adjuster would approve coverage payments. This occurred on an incredible day when I coincidentally paid a home inspector to inspect a small area on my roof that another "sub" of mine had patched. Alfred was standing nearby and we didn't say a word that Alfred was a roofer. I asked the Home Inspector to check our roof while he was up there - and he came down and told me the roof was not damaged by hail! When the inspector left, Alfred showed me on his "Tablet" the picture he took of our roof and there were many pale charcoal-colored spots in the picture. This was the hail damage we suspected that occurred in April 2017. Our terrific Cincinnati Insurance Co. paid all of our $40,638 roofing/new gutters bill except a $2,500 deductible that we happily paid. Authentic Restoration performed a great job on our home's roof and (don't forget) gutters. I am so big on Restoration that we got my youngest Stepson's home re-roofed due to hail damage also, and happily this home was covered by Cincinnati Insurance also (hail damage). In addition, I've led, so far, two of my neighbors who own luxury homes with hail-damaged roofs to Alfred and they are getting new replacement roofs covered by insurance. Alfred has also made things easy in doing our two jobs and I am very fortunate that we crossed paths because he has saved my wife and I some serious money and made it easy!!"

"Mike was very prompt and thorough in submitting his estimate. He was the only contractor to provide certificates of insurance with his estimate. The work was completed within the estimated time frame and his team did an excellent job. I would definitely hire them again."

"Mr. Caudill was very professional, and came in a timely manner. His prices were on the low end of estimates I had received. I am definitely calling him back!"

"Had to book about 3 months in advance, but they did excellent work and they were a pleasure to interact with. The price was competitive with other quotes."
