New deck install by Structurally Speaking - Many years ago (2012), however, still living with his…read moreteam's poor workmanship - Fascia boards warped on deck! - the install should have laid the deck boards to cover the fascia gaps - and not allow debris to build up behind fascia (shown in pics) - allowing it to warp! Instead, Jim and his team allowed exposure of the fascia to debris and elements causing fascia board to warp - less than one year after install! He came and replaced fascia once - without making any change to his original method - of course, fascia warped again less than one year later! Sloppy workmanship! Not once but twice!! He walked away from the install problem and placed the blame on everyone else...all this after paying over $12K .

Jim gave us really insightful focus on where in our this could work. He laid out really beautiful plans that were representative of how the finished product looked but honestly, the finished product is even more amazing than we had realized it would be. Jim is experienced and knowledgeable. Jim's team is excellent and very hard working and he and his team are responsive to concerns. As with any project, unexpected things arose, and they all got dealt with. The finished costs were within ten percent of the estimate, which having had several other large projects done on our house, is within what I expect as reasonable, especially in context of providing estimates during times of rising building costs and supply chain delays. He was accurate in timeline of how long project would take and was honest. In terms of the quality of the work... Months later we are still AMAZED at how well it came out. We, at Jim's suggestion to consider, elected EZE breeze windows to make it a 3 season Carolina room that will be usable during pollen season. We spend time out there everyday and eat a lot of meals out there and will for decades to come. Years ago, we got good advice from a contractor who is going to remodel our bathroom. He told us there would be times during the project where we would all be angry with each other, which is normal when you are spending a lot of money to do something to your most important financial investment, which is also where you live. That advice helped us through bathroom renovations. It also helped at the couple of times when I was upset with Jim about things that are pretty typical during a project. We communicated with Jim rather than let things fester and things got handled very smoothly. I would advise anybody was asking to strongly consider using Structurally Speaking to do a deck or porch project and, whether you hire them or someone else, communicate clearly when you have concerns. If you hire Structurally Speaking, Jim will make sure to address your concerns and you will be thrilled with how your project comes out.

If you want ok roofing, go for it. If you want to have multiple roofing nails left in your driveway…read moreand yard after they do their work then this is the company for you. We found several nails in our driveway after they left our home. One evening we found our vehicle with a totally flattened tire. I had driven it home in great shape just a couple hours before. We found another roofing nail right next to the flattened tire. We had to drive to a tire place on a flat at 6 pm on a weeknight- with three kids - and have it replaced. Two hours and two hundred dollars later we had a new tire. Tyler confirmed he would reimburse us for this based on the 800 dollars we paid for their work. However, when we submitted the invoice from the tire company to Pickard, he informed us that the only way they would reimburse was if there was a photo of their nail in our tire. Clearly not willing to own up to responsibility in leaving a workplace the same way they left it when they arrived. Do yourselves a favor and go elsewhere if you want a company that stands by what they say and doesn't leave nails on your property...

But the absolute biggest issue was very poor communication - waited all day for the counter and never heard anything from them until we contacted them, installer scheduled but didn't show, follow up on where things were - all had to be at our initiative for status. they had easy acccess to text email or phone and did none of it. I love the finished job but would not give a good rating for 3c

They worked outdoors in the cold and rain to get it done, and in the end I got what exactly what I wanted from the project. My dealings with the administration side of things, on the other hand, left a sour taste in my mouth. They were slow to respond to my initial requests for a quote, and when we finally did connect they acted like I was born yesterday. Their quote was the highest out of all of the companies I had contacted, and I got the "let me talk to my boss" line more than once. I wound up going with them anyway because they were willing to match the lowest offer from another company. When it came time to do the painting they sent one guy. He did good work, but it was really a two man job and he was out there all day. I suspect they just didn't want to pay for a second worker. There was also a miscommunication regarding the back side of the deck stairs, which wouldn't normally be stained but I still wanted done for anesthetic reasons. They tried to sell me on the idea of taking the entire stairway apart to do this. I had to insist that they only do the painting, and they eventually did, but the red flag here should be obvious: More work means more money.

Bertin Gomez was our initial contact and made a personable and favorable first impression that lasted throughout the flooring installation.

His crews were a reflection of him...all courteous and conscientious workers right down to final cleanup. The new hardwood floor is beautiful. We would highly recommend Sedaris to anyone who needs new hardwood floors installed to perfection and free from worry and hassles!

Several people in my old neighborhood recommended Sedaris Hardwoods. This company has been serving…read morethe area for years. If I had not spoken to former customers, I would have passed this business by. Things to note: - The communication, payments and scheduling were disjointed and I do agree with Crystal W., the previous poster, on this point. Based on my experience, I would recommend that this company hire an office manager or some type of scheduling/accounting assistant to manage scheduling and billing. Paul appears to manage it all himself and communicates mostly through texts after 9pm, though it is possible to get him on the phone during the day. - Have Paul come out and do the consultation and have everything ready and prepared for your estimate 3 months in advance when you want to get on the schedule-the business is busy and you'll likely need some lead time before getting on the schedule. - For our experience, we paid 50% for the flooring and then the remaining 50% a couple of days before installation. This was done directly with the flooring vendor (not Sedaris); the Sedaris crew will pick up the flooring directly from the vendor prior to installation - Sedaris installation crew were phenomenal-I give them 5 stars. They worked hard, were polite, and made sure everything was clean when they left. - We had one hiccup where the measurements that Sedaris did at our original consultation for our pricing fell short and didn't account for enough flooring-1 or 2 additional boxes of flooring were needed in the laundry area. In the end, Sedaris agreed to pay for the additional flooring and we paid for the additional labor. We felt that this was a fair arrangement and were happy with how that issue was resolved. - After the installation and final payments, we had a question about cleaning some paint stains in the floor (done by separate vendor) and Paul was prompt in giving some helpful tips-I appreciated his helpfulness even after our official business was over. Despite some of the communication challenges with scheduling and billing, if we were to get our floors done again, we'd hire Sedaris. We love our floors.
