The reason I give this company only a one star is because the job was not completed as agreed between us on the the final day of the job. The ramp leading up to the deck and the hand railing needed a minimum of another coat of stain. It was late and I expected company that evening and I requested it to be done at a later date. Eric agreed. Then I had company from overseas for two months and I was gone a lot, then the rains came for two months. In June I gave Eric a reminder call, he told me to call him when I was ready. I started to call in earnest in July. He told me repeatedly to call back, when I called back he put me off again. When I started to get upset, a date was set. Of course he was a no show, when I called, his excuse was that he had an emergency at his church(his other job is being a pastor), he told me he would call the following Monday at 11:00 am. Of course he did not, my call went straight to voice mail. He never called back. Never pick a company with old recommendations, get a minimum of three bids and don’ t fall for a smooth talking man that in the end will not deliver. I paid good money for the jobs rendered but with my deck I was never satisfied, and he knew that. It looks spotty and uneven. Eric should have known what would be best for my deck, however he chose the path of least work. He also pointed out that the front step which was cracked needed to be repaired. After completion it looked bad and is now cracked again. His sons are working for him, they are polite and do what Dad says but you have to micro manage who wants to do that?
