I hired Jacob Megquier to replace a large deck and privacy fence. It's complete and I'm very…read morehappy with the results. He designed it and helped me with ideas for materials. The estimate was close to the final cost of the deck. He scheduled it about 4 months out because he was booked with other jobs until late summer but he started on time and completed on plan. This was a complete replacement including footings and framing. His work is impeccable and it shows in the results. While attaching the frame to the house he had to remove some siding and found some rotted wood. He replaced that and the siding so the house wall is like new. He also ordered the materials, arranged for deliveries and removed the old deck and waste from the site. He talked with me throughout the job about progress and any issues or design decisions. I'm very pleased with the deck and privacy fence and would hire him again for other construction jobs and I give him the highest recommendation.

He and his helpers protect existing nearby plantings and shrubberies even if directly under the tree being eliminated or pruned. He even cut trunk/branches to length, allowing us to keep valuable firewood, leaving it to us to split as requested. It's really hard to find a good arborist but Black Dog Tree is the best. Highly recommended. Plus he's just a great guy to deal with. He works hard for his money.

Thus began the long process of dealing with insurance and professional cleaners, but when it came time to paint, Red Ladder Painting Co made the experience seamless and most enjoyable. John helped us to navigate color choices and paint questions, and to orchestrate the process of preparing each room and its contents for painting. We were lucky that John was able to fit us into his schedule and, as busy as he is, he saw the job through to the end without a hiccup. In addition to their stellar painting skills, John and Jim took great care in sealing off rooms to avoid dust transfer and, each afternoon, they left the spaces clean, neat, and tidy. This was much appreciated, given that we were living in the house during this time. And, during this time of COVID, they took the responsibility of mask-wearing and social-distanting very seriously. In short, John and Jim made our house glow! We would not hesitate to have them back and recommend them without a doubt!

John replied promptly and met us to review the project. He was helpful with his insights about the wallpaper removal and plastering. His estimate was reasonable. He and Jim showed up on time, were quiet (no blaring music or phone calls) and kept the place clean. It being an old house, there were some surprises that John explained to us. All in all, the job was done in a most excellent fashion, the rooms look much improved. We're happy to know the walls are in better shape than when they started. The painting job is so fine, we are entirely pleased. John's estimate was reasonable and his work was excellent. I strongly recommend Red Ladder Painting.
