I never know whether to trust rave reviews on Yelp, but in the case of Brian Ludlow, owner of…read moreLudlow's Handyman Services, the five star ratings are spot on accurate. I needed a mailbox installed and had tried for 3 months to schedule various handyman recommended by neighbors. I finally took things into my own hands and searched for a reputable and highly rated handyman on Yelp. There were several options to choose from, but I was immediately drawn to Brian's business because it is locally owned and operated by him. Plus, I really liked his bio. I could tell he was someone who enjoyed his work and was focused on high quality outcomes for customer projects. Brian did not disappoint. Every step of the process was a good one. My first point of contact was through Yelp messaging. That's when I first knew I was on the right track because Brian promptly replied. Moreover, his communication skills were excellent from the get-go. He was able to fit me into his schedule a few days after my request. He arrived on time prepared with what he needed to do the job. Everything went smoothly, especially because Brian and I had reviewed the installation instructions through photos I attached to our Yelp messages. He was able to acquire the remaining needed materials that I did not have on hand. Brian clearly knew what he was doing and got the mailbox installed without any problems. He charged a reasonable amount and was a pleasure to work with. I had a great customer experience. I already have other projects lined up for him. Living in a 200-year-old home is going to provide plenty of opportunities to call on Brian's experience and excellent problem-solving skills.

It's usually not a great sign when you begin a review with "they showed up with the wrong color…read morerailing," but the sign of true professionals is not never making mistakes, but responding to them with grace and efficiency. The process up to the deck actually being built was prompt, professional and courteous. Early in the second day of the build, I looked out my window to see that the railing was white, instead of black. After a thirty second conversation with the foreman, they had identified what the problem was, apologized, and had the white railing dismantled and the black railing on the way within an hour. Our deck is beautiful, and the process was easy.

We love our mid-century house, but didn't like how the old wood deck looked.

We chose a manufactured deck board and vertical cable rail system that we love. The total cost was not inexpensive, but we love it and enjoy it. Life is short.

I'm very picky so I got 4 estimates. Stump's had the lowest price out of all 4. I paid $21,000. The…read moreother guys were quoting me $25-31k. I live in a very well to do neighborhood and unfortunately, these guys will look up house values and charge accordingly so while some neighborhoods will get $10k decks, not mine. If I was living in DC suburbs then they'd charge us $50k for the deck. I got the PVC Aztek material with metal posts. The guys did the job in 2 days. I was worried when I saw scuffs on my new deck the day after install, but Luke came to buff them out. With Aztek, you have to be very careful about scratching the deck with furniture so I've yet to put anything on my deck! We rarely eat out there anyways. We're not outdoorsy people.
