Get matched with top deck or porch repairers in Summitville, IN

"I highly recommend Steve and his crew at Crest Mark. Steve is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He also explains things in a straightforward and easy to understand manner. He also communicates well, letting you know of arrival times, anticipated costs, updates and project completion. Of the estimates I received, his was in the middle, but I did not have to worry about it being too low, and lots of "extras" being added in to the final price, or so high that I would have attempted to do it myself and caused further damage or injured myself. I requested a quote to rehang/repair siding on the second floor of the house after high winds knocked it down. Steve came out, inspected the siding (to see if it needed replaced or could be re-used; and fortunately it could) and checked other areas around the house that are typically damaged by high winds. He also explained how the process would work if more extensive and/or expensive repairs were needed and we wanted to file with our homeowners insurance. After accepting his estimate, we planned for later in the week, or possibly the next (depending on his other jobs, but also heavily depending on weather) to complete the work. We were very fortunate and caught a break with mild temperatures and no precipitation, with him calling me the next day to let me know that if someone would be there to bring the siding outside, we could get it done that day. Steve and his crew came out immediately and completed the job, using the existing siding, and fastening it more securely than it had been previously fastened. When the time arrives that we need more repairs or choose to replace/upgrade, I will definitely give Crest Mark a call."

"The job was done efficiently and quickly. But I had to buy a 2x12 board and brackets for the worker to stand on. There was a lot of over spray left from not being masked well. I had to replace a porch light and I painted the porch deck because of all the over spray."

"Wood prices are very high right now. I knew that going into this project. Two years ago we could have gotten twice the deck."

"Hunter and his company were amazing in every aspect of customer service from start to finish. From the quality of work, communication, time spent on the job, and he worked us into his schedule very quickly to prevent further water damage to our home. We are very pleased and will be a returning customer."

"This is the second time I have used Protect and Preserve. As usual, Paul went above and beyond to help with all aspects of painting including suggestions of where and what to paint. Color selection, matching to carpet and furniture, suggested tape repairs, etc. I have recommended this company to several friends as well and will definitely use them again in the future!"

"The work was perfect. The crew was fast. Everyone was polite. The price was very fair if not generous. The color ALMOST matched the house perfectly. I’d definitely hire them again."

"I hired Wood Renovation to power wash and stain my deck as well as replace some rotted boards. They did a good job replacing the boards, but they also missed a rotted board, which was not replaced. They did a good job power washing and staining the floor of the deck, but they only used one coat of solid stain on the floor, which was not enough. The Sherwin Williams stain they used even says to use two coats. The ornamental caps that sit on top of the balusters were covered with old, chipping paint, and they did not sand them prior to staining. The owner, Steve, indicated that he normally doesn't include sanding in a bid, but he did come out and try to sand off some of the chipping paint. They also used a paint sprayer for the deck railings, which did not completely cover any of the railings and instead got on my landscaping. I had to have Steve come back out two different times to touch up every railing. Fortunately, he was very nice and accommodating about it. Overall, the quality of the work was not worth $996."

"I was very impressed with George Wimmer, "My personal gardener."
My problem was that my sump was running often most seasons of the year, and dumping water into the side yard where it would run down a shallow valley in my lawn and over the public sidewalk. It has been a constant source of erosion, poor lawn, soft and muddy ground especially in the spring, and even ice covering my sidewalk in cold weather. I was not allowed by the city of Noblesville to connect my sump overflow to the storm sewer. I could not send the water off my property to be a problem for a neighbor either, of course.
I had done some research and developed an idea for a dry well to receive the water. I contacted several companies in Angies List that were landscapers or dealt with water drainage problems. After all was said and done, "My personal gardener" not only grasped the problem and the necessary solution, but gave me a very reasonable estimate for the solution.
George and his assistant dug a hole 4x4 feet square, and 5 feet deep. They cut the sod off first, and set it aside to be replaced later. George used a mini-backhoe to do the real digging, and it dug the hole quickly even through hard blue clay.  An empty 55 gallon drum was placed in the hole--the plastic drum had many holes drilled through the sides and bottom. The purpose of the drum was to receive the water directly from the sump and then allow it to disperse into the larger area underground. The 4x4x5 foot hole was filled (around the drum) with round gravel. Some kind of landscaping cloth was also placed over the gravel, then a layer of topsoil, and then the sod was placed back on top. The finished product was rolled and now the ground is the same level as it was before. 
Even if the water is slow dispersing into the subsoil, the dry well can receive about 250-300 gallons of water before it overflows, if it ever does. I anticipate that my yard erosion problem and sidewalk damage problems are now over. George and his assistant placed the dirt that was taken from the hole in various locations around the foundation of my house (at my request), where the ground had settled and too much foundation was exposed. He did not charge for this extra service.
It took a good half day of work for two men to do this job, and heavy equipment was used, and all materials including landscaping cloth, 2-3 yards of gravel, plastic drum, pipe fittings, etc., were all included in the job quote, which I thought was more than fair, in fact, a bargain.
According to Angies List, My Personal Gardener also offers plants for 25% off for members, so I am having George put in some plants for me in a larger landscaping project. I am trusting that it will go just as well. I have not been acquainted with this George and "My Personal Gardener" before this project, but I feel fortunate to have found him.

"The process was wonderful start to finish! Darrell was great on helping us make temporary repairs and Mark was a great help with the replacement process!"

"This was the second time I've hired Joel Thomas as an exterior painter, and I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. Mr. Thomas returned my call within a day and gave me a lower estimate than I expected by the next day (same price as five years ago). He painted samples on two areas of my house so I could decide what I liked best, and he bought the paint brand and texture I chose. He returned my calls promtly and he and his helper, Robert, were always courteous, flexible, and professional. They did neat and careful work without drips on the brick or damage to my landscaping. Mr. Thomas sprayed the house and also resprayed and hand painted rougher areas in the cedar so that the coverage was uniform and thorough. He did this without my asking him. The spray washing was completed within a week and the actual painting by the next week, over a few days' time despite dangerously high temperatures. A few grace notes, I was worried about my dog getting loose; but every day the latch had been securely shut on the back gate. The painters also moved the outside furniture back onto the porches when they were done, even though I had moved it off myself before the job started."
