Deck or Porch Builders in Winston Salem, NC

"Mr. Jose Cruz is a gentleman, a great listener, and a willing collaborator with homeowners! He was, with his helper, Santos, so excellent in the first job that we hired them again for a much different and MORE COMPLEX project that they were capable of doing but not seeking! Their care, attention, and competence in doing the 2nd job is the backbone of this recommendation. The 1st job was to repair, partially remove, and predict the future needs of our 250-foot, wooden privacy fence. Nicely done already, with options for which we'll hire in the future. The 2nd job was to install our new bathroom vanity; install the new countertop with pre-installed sinks; demolish the 50-year-old built-ins; remove old sinks/plumbing; position the 3 new cabinets vs. an alcove and mismatched flooring; save the mirror above; and save whatever wall tile could be. Jose and Santos did a mathematical process of installing near-fitting pieces patiently and correctly, and I was confident in them at every step. Consider the complexity: a strange-sized alcove (70.25") and 3 separate cabinet- and drawer-bases (69.0") for a large countertop (68.5") with 2 pre-installed sink basins. Everything had to be calculated perfectly, step by step. All cabinets had to be level for the countertop. We had subfloor under the old bases and tile under the middle of the old vanity and in the rest of the room. The demo revealed surprises in the wall, the old plumbing, and especially the floor, making our early installation plans impractical and our project timeline impossible. Jose couldn't have expected these when quoting or starting the job. They immediately distinguished themselves in the demolition. They worked hard removing short, old, built-in cabinets that were truly built to last. The old tile back- and sidesplashes were critical to save for a fully tiled room with a partially demolished bathtub wall--and they saved 80% of that tile, including precious bullnose tiles! Their care in saving the 5-foot-wide mirror saved us at least $300 in replacement costs. This savings covered some of the totally appropriate, extra costs for Jose's extra work in the unexpectedly difficult demolition. Thursday (Day 1), during demo and rough-placement of the cabinets, Jose always welcomed my input and made sure I was content with the work. Jose and Santos listened to my own careful calculations in acquiring pieces from different vendors and envisioning the space after demolition. I sat right outside the workspace and received rescued tiles, handed straight to me for protection. Jose addressed flooring problems with shims and boards, overcoming nearly all problems. Working with me took extra time. Jose cheerfully provided many solutions, and yet we eventually decided that we needed an extra day *before* they returned to think about the problems with the non-square spacing between the walls and the countertops, the sidesplashes, the wall's base molding, the cabinets' uniform kickplate, and the floor. Proving his flexible attitude and gentlemanlike behavior, Jose rearranged his schedule to give us that needed extra day and evening before returning. Jose's willingness to come back for installation on a Saturday gave us several benefits: We had a Thursday evening for routines; a Friday night to re-measure after demolition and reconsider wall/molding/trim options; and a Friday when our plumber came to handle unexpected pipe problems from demolition, preventing a bigger plumbing job that would have risked the new cabinets later. On Saturday, my husband worked with Jose and Santos on our updated plans/details. The 3 men worked wonderfully together, repairing walls/flooring, installing trim, and solving problems. Jose did for us what few contractors will: collaborate and even share workspace with handy homeowners on a complex project. Jose and Santos did competent, complete carpentry & teamwork on our..."

I would highly recommend them. Jason and Cody bid the job and always were there to supervise the work being done. Thank you!"

"Erickâ s Construction & Hardscaping came and estimated the chimney repair. He was on time, professional, and knowledgeable. He and his team worked quickly and efficiently and finished the job in one day. During the job Erick kept me apprised of the repairs with photographs. Upon completion, they cleaned up the repair debris. Communication was guick and questions were answered promptly. Erick was proud of his work and shared photographs of other completed projects. His price for the repairs was reasonable and fair. I was very pleased with the results and look forward to working with him on future projects."

"I highly recommend America?s First Home Improvement for any work you may need done. Elder and his crew were very professional, hard working, and very reliable."

"The company was very professional and very helpful in giving suggestions and helping us decide what needed to be done. We had a very large foot print with 2 decks The whole process was done in a timely manner. I can not say enough how impressed we were with the whole procedure. We highly recommend them."

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"David and his crew did a great job adding to our patio. Pricing was fair, and they were able to get the job finished quickly. They even came back out and added a little more when we realized what we added wasn't enough for my wife's ideas. I highly recommend David and his crew for any work you need."

"This company is absolutely the very best! I highly recommend them to anyone. So polite, so efficient, such a pleasure to work with. They were prompt and stayed until the job was complete. I plan on using them again for more jobs that we need done. They did such a great job! We needed help getting lights up on our 35ft tall tree and they did an amazing job! Thank you Mike and April!"
