Fence and gate look great! The Job was done in one day. I definitely recommend his services.

I hired Samuel to replace an old deck after my wife stepped through one of the boards. After getting several bids from different companies, I chose them because it was clear from talking to Samuel that he knew from a lot of first-hand experience how best to tackle this project. His thorough descriptions of what needed to be done and the methods they'd use that others didn't go into (like applying Trex tape on all joists for frame longevity) as well as his ideas for doing a two-toned deck design were what sold me. I also liked that he was the one doing the actual building rather than just contracting out all of the work. After Samuel's crew handled the demolition in short order, they discovered that the 6x6 cedar posts that had been supporting our 2nd floor patio were heavily rotted on the concrete base below the old deck. At that point, Samuel pivoted the effort to ensuring the 2nd floor was structurally sound by securing and installing new 14' cedar posts from Kyle, TX before focusing back on the deck. He made sure to use high quality anti-corrosion metal brackets at the base of the posts with the posts raised off of the concrete to future-proof the new posts. I was extremely relieved that he was able to address this given how soft and spongy the base of the old posts had been. With that out of the way, Samuel was able to turn his attention back on the deck which he, along with another member of his crew, worked steadily on until the job was complete. This included replacing the 2nd floor patio boards and rails as well since I was impressed with his craftsmanship and trusted his abilities after the post replacements. I appreciated that Samuel didn't rush to get the job done and took pride in his work. In the end, the deck came out beautifully and better than I had imagined it would, particularly the stairs which I know was a lot of detailed work. read more

1. I told Sam to replace the back deck only, not to replace the back ramp as it did not need it. Sam hired someone else to do the back deck and was not present when the new hire took out the back deck AND the ramp. He asked me to pay $150 for something to do with his error, which I did. I believe the new hire replaced the back deck and ramp. 2. I asked Samuel to replace the front deck including the ramp. He did not do a good job. The last board at the bottom of the ramp should have been even with the driveway since I am in a wheelchair and need that transition to be safe. The last board was not even. See the 1/4" height difference in photo below. Next, Sam put down boards in front of the front door and forgot to nail down sections to boards underneath, which made the screen door hang up opening or closing. It also caught on my wheels. See no nails in front section in photos below. 3. Then I saw the end of a board was sticking up on front deck. On closer inspection, Samuel had not nailed down the end to the board beneath because the board had not been cut and placed correctly to place a nail. Then, toward the end of the job, he asked me to take a look at the front deck and ramp. He had not cut a board to fit around the front door properly, so he just left a gap between the house and the first board. I asked him to fill that gap. He should have constructed it properly in the first place, or at least fill the gap before asking me if it was satisfactory as was. He does not take pride in his work. See the gaps between the first board and house below. Then, I saw something sticking out of a deck board. It looks like a wooden peg popping out. Not sure what's happening there. See below. The painter was sloppy and spilled white paint on the new deck and wiped it up, but left a stain. See 1 of many spills below: Sam really did a jigsaw job of my deck. Because he did not carefully measure and cut boards to fit existing structure, he has to fill gaps with little pieces. See below: Finally, he did not know how to handle the last board and he placed it vertically, which is not how the original was placed. read more

I found Samuel on Craigslist after another person I hired to do my kitchen floor tile bailed the day he was supposed to lay the tile down. When I called Samuel, I was expecting to hear that I'd have to wait at least a week before they could come out and start the job. Instead, a worker was immediately sent to my place to measure out the area, check that I had all of the necessary materials for the job, and give an estimate. This person traveled from SAN MARCOS all the way out to ELGIN after being told last minute! While he was driving to my location, Samuel called and said that since the job seems small enough, his worker could lay the Hardie Backer board THAT DAY and come back on Monday to finish the tile. Sure enough, Monday rolls around and his worker is back out at my house laying the tile in my kitchen. Both he and his worker, who I believe was named Rogelio, did an excellent job of communicating what I needed in order for them to be able to successfully lay the tile correctly. Rogelio even discovered a part of my floor in the laundry room that was damaged from a water leak, and offered to fix it FOR FREE so that he could complete the tile job in that area. These guys do quality work, are fair priced, show that they care about their customers, and display a great deal of transparency, honesty, and integrity. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking to have remodeling and tile work done! read more
