BEWARE!!!! It took me a while to write this review because at first I wasn't sure if it was safe…read moreto do so, based on the way this contractor behaved. But I just got finished giving a glowing review on this site for the contractor that actually ended up doing the job and the site had a pop up for me to review Deck Doctors. So here goes... Joe came out to do an estimate to repair my existing deck . At that point, he just rattled off a random price. I told him I needed time to think about it. So after a couple of weeks, I contacted him and he said he was still interested in doing the job and said he would come out to do the work the following week. But he never followed up with a written estimate. I told him that I needed a formal quote/contract to go over exactly what he was going to do for the price. He said he would. But he didn't and also didn't show for the job. I should've run then...but I followed up with him to see if there was a problem or misunderstanding. He apologized and said he was tied up with another job and rescheduled to come the week after. At that point, I made it clear I was flexible and to just let me know when he was available. I told him again, that I still needed to have a contract before he did any work. He said he would and that he was free to come the following week. The next week comes and he's a no show again. I called to tell him I was done and he was slick and told me the lumber was being delivered to the house the next day and he would be there to go over everything. At this point, I really should have cut and run...but dumb me gave him yet again another chance. Sure enough...the lumber was delivered, but he hadn't shown up. I called him and he said he would be there the next day. Next day comes and it's almost noon and hadn't heard from him. I called and he said one of his guys would arrive shortly and he would be there about an hour later after him. So one of his workers show up with no clue what to do, but said he guess he would start breaking down the old deck. Huh??? I told him not touch anything cause we hadn't had a contract for work. I called Joe and he still says he's about an hour away from coming (eyeroll). I told him I didn't want any work to start until we talked and had something on paper. He gets an attitude and proceeds to try to convince me to at least let his guy start to breakdown the deck and rudely tells me not to just have him sitting there wasting his time. Finally, I had had it and told him to tell his worker to leave my property and take his lumber with him, said bye and hung up. So the guy did load up the lumber and leave. Then this jerk (Joe) texts me a picture of the job he was working on and bragged about how big the job was and that's why he didn't have time for my job. The nerve! I told him to never contact me again and blocked him. A week later, I was so blessed to find a wonderful contractor that did a great job! So glad I dodged that bullet!!!!

We replaced the plumbing, electrical, HVAC and added a fortified roof. The kitchen is amazing!  Infinity Cabinets replaced all our cabinets and they are all slow close.  We have a fancy coffee cabinet to hide our coffee maker and my favorite is the secret spice and cooking utensil cabinets.  The quartz countertops are the main attraction which are featured on a huge island that has hidden storage cabinets.  We worked with Wilmington appliance for all our kitchen appliances and Ferguson for our lighting and bath fixtures.  They were all wonderful!  The tile contractor also did amazing work.   Special thanks to many individuals at Essence, but especially Mike who did it all!  He specially designed and crafted the cabinets in our mud room and custom design our his and her closets.  Also thanks to Cassie who kept everyone organized.  Also thanks to some or our favorite people who helped all of this come to fruition - Eddie, Jay, Steve, Chrissy and Brian.  Also, thank you for being so kind to us and our overly friendly dog, Winston. You are the best and we love our forever home.  Sincerely,  Lauren, Craig and Winston

The real problem is that while painting my upstairs bathroom they put towelettes into the toilet and clogged it resulting in a overflow through the ceiling into my 1st floor. They were playing the music so loudly they did not hear the toilet water running! Tried to blame it on plumbing, but basically admitted in text messages to putting the towelettes into the toilet! Claim to be GL insured, but refuse to give binder info. Now not showing up to repair the damages. Next step court. (BTW I believe they generate their own reviews on here.) While the work itself was okay and they let me change the paint color after they started. **These are my opinions based on my experience with this contractor**

For example he was working on some dry wall, adding a bi-fold door and a few other things around the house. When he showed up on the second day he re-checked the door and decided it wasn't quite right (looked good to me). He took it down and reworked it...no charge. It's hard to find that kind of personal integrity and pride in the work - but Aaron's got it. We now have him refinishing all the cabinets in the kitchen and butler's pantry. And will continue to make him our first call for other projects.
