"I hired JLF Construction to finish some spackle and paint our nursery. I wish I never did. I had Jose come out to give a quote. He looked everything over and immediately shot of a price way too high for what the scope of work was. I was providing all materials and tools just needed labor. I told him we would think it over and get back to him. From that day on he continued to harass me with phone calls and texts wanting me to hire him. Finally I explained we felt the price was too high and we'd be getting additional quotes. He then negotiated down to what I thought was a fair price and we hired him. He sold me on how he had over 40 years of experience. Showing pictures of work he recently completed that we liked. We set up a day for him to come out and do the work. I was working when he had the availability and my wife was home. She text me saying there were 3 people here total and she didn't think it was going too well. She said she thinks I need to look everything over but he was demanding payment and wouldn't leave. I text Jose and explained I wouldn't agree to pay until I was home to see the work completed. To my amazement when I got home the room looked awful. He had let his 20 year old son who had no experience cut in the paint. Lines weren't straight, paint on my ceiling in some areas and other areas paint didn't even go all the way up the wall and it wasn't a double coat cut in. The white paint under showed through where they cut in. I immediately called Jose expressing my concerns and he started threatening me, insulting me and telling me I want something for nothing. He threatened to come to my house the next day. My wife who is pregnant was afraid so I agreed to just pay him. He then offered to send his son back out but he refused to come fix it himself since he wasn't the one who did the cutting in. I refused. I was so disappointed after seeing all of his great reviews. I wish I never came across his business. We had to pay a professional painter to come out and fix the issues. Luckily they didn't try to change and arm and a leg. If I could tell anyone to look elsewhere when considering these guys I would. Also, just a side note he had his sons wash out the paint in my yard causing my grass to die. I had them on camera the entire time doing it and asked multiple times to please stop since I pay for lawn treatments. This entire experience ended up costing me more than what we budgeted."

"Declan and his team installed tongue and groove wood on my covered porch. The team did an excellent job, with a focus on quality. The job took place over two days, and I was impressed both times with the crew. They started first thing in the morning, were respectful of my home, were very kind, and cleaned up SO well. They took care in picking the best pieces of wood during install, and asking if they had any concerns about a piece. They ensured two different sections of the ceiling were aligned, and it looked impeccable. I am very happy with my experience, and hope to use them in the future again!"

"I am extremely unhappy. They were hired to rip out all of the flooring and patch and level out the concrete subfloor. They were going to install LVP flooring and new baseboard. They were also going to paint teo walls. I was told it was going to be a two to three day job. Since they were doing my entire condo I needed to stay in a hotel. They ordered the flooring from Home Depot on July 30th. They showed up around 8:30 am on August 4th to start ripping up the old flooring and start patching. They told me on August 6th that the flooring would be delivered either August 12th or 13th. They had patched the living room and dining room and only pulled of some of the flooring in the kitchen. They leveled the concrete in the dining room to the kitchen floor that hadn't been ripped up and said they decided it wasn't necessary to remove the kitchen floor and it would now cost a lot more to do what I asked for. They told me that they would only pull up one of the layers of old flooring in the bathroom because if they ripped up the tile it would damage the concrete underneath that needed patching in the first place. They left the windows open and patched concrete in front of it so there was no access to close the windows. It was 90°+ with high humidity that affected how the concrete dried. Since the flooring didn't arrive at Home Depot until Aug 13th, I had to extend my hotel stay an extra 10 days. Even though they said they would try to pick up the flooring on the 13th and start that day, they waited until the 14th. When they arrived that morning they told me the flooring need to sit in my home for 2-3 days to acclimate before installing. I told them I couldn't wait. So they started the installation that day. They locked up that day since I wasn't able to go check on things til they came back in the morning. When I let the worker in in the morning I was upset that they started laying the planks the wrong direction. When I call the owner to tell him it was wrong he said they decided to put it that way and that since half was already done they wouldn't change it. They decided what kind of baseboard to install. They were supposed to match it to the basebord attached to the panel in the kitchen and dining room that couldn't be replaced. Instead the new baseboard is an inch and a have taller and it's not even. The edges aren't finished off and the caulking is lumpy. There are gaps between the floor and baseboard. There are bad cuts in the floors around corners abd door jams. The caulking is extremely noticeable. There is almost a two inch difference in height between the bedroom and bathroom which creates a safety issue. The never removed any of the old flooring before putting down the new and didn't remove the vanity. They just cut around it. They removed most of the threshold between the bathroom and laundry area and did move the track for the doors like I had asked. There is nothing holding the floor down at the door threshold, it lifts straight off the floor. Unfortunately I wasn't able to notice a lot since they finished late and there was only a lamp or two in the rooms since there really isn't any overhead lights. While Walking around the floors moved and sounded hollow. They had told me there was thick padding attached to the back of the planks and it would cushion any small imperfections in the subfloor. I tried showing them all the areas where the floor was uneven and hollow sounding. They walked over the spots and denied feeling anything. They even asked the realtor and she shiwed them and they denied it. They kept saying that if I could show them the spots they would fix it and stand behind their work even though I showed them. They left trash behind. It took me two hours to sweep and mop so I could move my furniture back in the next morning. They damaged a stand fan left behind to use. The dented the dishwasher and didn't put it fully back in place. The door won't close so I don't even know if it works. They moved and scratched my brand new washer dryer combo with pedestal drawer that won't open because they moved it. I found out that my router was reset and security camera disabled. I also found a half empty beer can on the balcony that no one else had access to. My realtor said there is no way I can put it on the market in the condition it's in. The contractor knew I was redoing the floors to put it on the market. The contractor came over to discuss the issues I had while my realtor was there. It was a disaster and there was yelling since I was constantly interrupted. They said that it wasn't their job to double check with me about which way the planks were to be laid or what baseboard to use. When they painted the walls, they didn't take out the old anchors for the curtain rod and patch. They painted over it and painted around the curtain rod. They told me that no one takes off curtain rods and paints under them. They had no comment about not patching the small nail holes before painting. They said things were my fault and that they weren't intimidating me. They finally said they would fix the baseboard, kitchen floor and bathroom floor but that I would have to buy all new material. Or they would give me $1,500 to have someone else do it. They said that I knew the delivery date and was fine with it. I tried to tell them the text they sent me didn't show the date, but was told I was lying about everything and he wasn't talking to me anymore. I told them that when I talked to Home Depot about the delivery date and proper material needed because of the hollow siund, they told me that the people at Home Depot are stupid and don't know what they're talking about because they just sit behind a computer. When the owner said that they would fix the baseboard, bathroom floor and kitchen floor, he said he would do it his way and that I had to let him know the next day and I was only allowed to text him once. When I texted the next day saying I needed more time to think he told me that he wasn't going to do what he said he would. Unfortunately they wouldn't do a written contract, everything was through text or verbal. That was my fault obviously. But he showed that he was top rated by Angi and sll the reviews were 5 star and pictures were beautiful of other work done."

FAQs for deck or porch repair projects in West Chester, PA

Composite and ipe hardwood decks provide the longest durability for your outdoor space. Composite decks last 30 years exactly, and ipe hardwood decks continue reliably for 75 years when maintained properly. Frequent cleaning and sealing preserve these materials and protect them against weathering. This exceptional endurance minimizes future repair needs and offers a solid, lasting investment.

Replacing your deck directly increases your home’s market value and enhances its curb appeal. A new deck returns between 50% and 65% of its cost in additional home value at resale. This upgrade not only modernizes your outdoor living space but also significantly bolsters buyer interest, ensuring that your investment adds both functionality and an attractive aesthetic.

You should replace your deck when visible signs of wear begin to compromise safety and functionality. The quality of maintenance and the durability of the chosen materials determine when a deck reaches the end of its life. For example, decks crafted from superior materials like mahogany or ipe hardwood can last over 50 years, while cedar decks require replacement after 15 to 20 years. Regular inspections help guide this decision.

Your deck needs to be replaced when clear structural issues compromise its safety. Indicators include soft spots, sunken boards, scattered wood shavings, and hollow sounds that indicate rot or pest damage. These symptoms show that simple repairs are insufficient to maintain a secure deck. A professional evaluation is essential to confirm whether full replacement is necessary to protect your outdoor living area.
