Get matched with top deck or porch build or replacers in Waterbury, VT

"John's estimate was reasonable and clear. He completed the work within the time frame he gave us. He and Ethan did a great job staining our house and painting the trim. They were efficient and detail oriented. I was worried that our front garden would get trampled, but they protected it with tarps and were careful not to step on plants. I will be hiring John for future projects."

"We hired them to replace the floor in our living, kitchen, dining room, and laundry room. They worked with us to decide what kind/color flooring we wanted, did it in the time frame indicated, cleaned while they worked, were fun to be around, and came in UNDER estimate. I think the most important part is he returns phone calls/texts! Some things came up so it messed up the timeline we had (no big deal) and he let us know ahead of time. If you work (or try to) with any sort of contractor, hearing from them is the biggest challenge. The pics attached are what they faced when they pulled the carpet and the other pic is mid-dining room reno. Highly recommend - as much as I hate to, they may not be available for our next project if people hear how great they are!"

"Paul did a great job on our deck. He was professional, honest and kept his commitments. Very rare these days, just hire him for your project and you will be happy."

"I have hired these guys to come back and do more work at my home. They are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Phone calls or texts to Matt were answered in a very timely manor which I appreciated very much. Matt is local and is experienced with Vermont old homes. Repairs are complete and the cost is very reasonable. I have already recommended him to my family and friends. Thanks to Emilio and Trevor for great on-site work. You both are competent, considerate, and keep a clean safe work zone. Iâ m very happy with the job well done."

We had them do a complete kitchen remodel right down to the studs!!Taking this circa 1950's space to 2023 was a task and Chris was so organized and willing to work with our vision and give his knowledge as well! He was great throughout the process of planning and communicating each step of the way! Including the estimates and coming in right on point regarding the timing and prices estimated!!His crew not only showed up when they said but also worked the time promised and cleaned as they went! This kitchen renovation was more amazing then we could have imagined and enjoy the space each and every time we are in it!!
