Hired the Handyman Connection to stain our medium sized deck, last stained three years ago. Our deck was constructed five years ago when we built our house, and was poorly constructed using contractor grade lumber (this was done during the COVED debacle). Needless to say, the deck has some issues. Spoke with their dispatchers (Kat and Nicole) who are delightful to work with, and scheduled a visit to provide an estimate. The estimate initially considered minor repairs, power washing and staining. We agreed to the work and a few days later CJ, from Handyman Connection called to tell me he would be doing the work and asked to come by to take a look at the deck. CJ arrived, carefully looked things over and offered a couple options he could do to improve the appearance and structural integrity. We asked/received the new estimates and decided to have all the railing replaced along with some other boards that required replacement. CJ and his crew have been punctual, highly skilled and very personable, letting is know exactly what he was doing and incorporating some minor modifications we requested. CJ finished the construction work yesterday and will begin staining when the lumber dries from the recent rains and weather permits. The work CJ completed transformed an amateur looking structure sorely in need of repair, to a beautiful, professional looking deck that matches our home's beauty. He replaced the wooden spindles with black aluminum spindles which added an exceptional touch! CJ has many years of experience which is evident in his work. He and his crew kept the work area clean and finished on schedule--extremely hard workers! At this point we are satisfied beyond expectations and we're looking forward to staining and the finished product. CJ and crew are the best deck guys in town!! Very highly recommend!!
