Some folks just work for a paycheck. Ryan McNaughton does so much more than that. He is a skilled…read morecraftsman who builds porches that are works of art: porches cantilevered over cliffs, porches wrapped around mature trees -- and in our case, just plain ol' porches, too. He seems to truly love and take pride in his work. I interviewed a number of contractors for our porch replacement project, and spoke with references. I have to admit I was a touch skeptical of the absolutely glowing reviews I heard from his references at first. (Were they family members? Would anyone give *my* work such glowing reviews other than my mom?) But after seeing him in action, I absolutely echo all those raves: Ryan is the gold standard. He is fantastically professional, meticulous, and detail oriented; he communicates clearly; and his pricing is on par with other contractors in the area. He says what he means and means what he says. We only have one porch on this house, alas, but Ryan is also an electrician and handyman. Given what we've seen of his work, we're already coming up with a long list of future projects we hope to have his help on!

Ryan completed a deck project for us recently (October 2023) in Lexington. He was very responsive,…read morealways here when he said he'd arrive, and provided a very competitive quote which he stayed true too. He works by himself and to say he is detailed and meticulous would be an understatement. We couldn't be happier with the deck and the way it enhances the utilization of our back yard space and enhances the value of our home. I would highly recommend you give Ryan an opportunity to bid on any home improvement/carpentry projects you may have.

They came with the instructions in Chinese. He managed to figure them out and they are still holding strong. Regardless of my bumping them. He also installed a front/rear camera in my SUV.

He's very professional and courteous. His prices are very competitive. I highly recommend him.

His estimate came in hundreds cheaper than the others and he is so professional. I know nothing about construction / renovations and he was able to walk me through every step of the way and tell me his recommendations, which was very helpful. He is very friendly and took great care to keep my home clean and stayed in contact very well (always returned my texts, showed up when he said he would, and was just generally a nice person who knows his craft). I cannot recommend Joseph enough and I will 100% call him for future projects around the home. Do yourself a favor and save time and money and give him a call - you will be glad you did!
