Prestige Deck Coating did an outstanding job replacing my deck, including the subfloor, and I…read morecouldn't be happier with the results. What started as hairline cracks (lack of maintenance)) on my roof deck turned into major leak (and panic) into my bedroom ceiling over New Years weekend. From the initial consultation with Josh and Alfonso, they were professional, responsive, and kind explaining the entire process and answering what I am sure seemed like endless questions. Jose clearly took pride in his work. He kept the job site clean, arrived every morning on time and kept on schedule. His craftsmanship is excellent--the deck is solid, looks beautiful, and the attention to detail really shows. It's clear quality materials were used and maintenance will be straightforward. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled company for deck work, I highly recommend Prestige Deck Coating. They made the whole process easy and delivered a result that exceeded my expectations!

I hired MFK to remove and replace an old balcony in my residence. Mitch visited the site and…read moreprovided me with a detailed written proposal and a reasonable price. He also accommodated my comments and the changes I requested on some work items. He was very professional and we had great communication through completion of the project, exchanging multiple email messages and phone calls. The crew was always on time, efficient and responsive to my requests and cleaned up well at the end of each work day. I also retained them to replace my damaged wood sidings and trims. Martin did a great job custom making wood panels for me as my residence is relatively old and no sidings matching the original ones were available in the market. They completed this job efficiently as well. I found this family owned business trustworthy and will continue recommending their services to friends and family.

They discovered things that weren't done properly and did their best to keep our costs down knowing that we were essentially paying twice to have the deck fixed. They finished in the time they promised and didn't even hesitate or push back when I asked them to address some minor details about the fence. They're professional, knowledgeable, communicative - everything you want in a contractor but usually can't find all at once. Highly recommend if you want a deck done right the first time.

I had a very disappointing experience with Hand Crafted Metalworks…read more From the beginning, I was extremely clear about what I wanted. I provided a reference photo on the very first day and made it known that I am very detail-oriented, especially because this was a major custom staircase railing project costing around $20,000. I wanted the finished product to closely match the design, proportions, style, and overall look of the reference photo. Unfortunately, the process became frustrating and confusing. Instead of feeling like my vision was being understood and executed, I repeatedly felt like the design was being scaled back, reinterpreted, or changed from what I had originally requested. Multiple revisions were needed because key details were not reflected properly, including how the railings were supposed to continue down the lower steps and terminate at the bottom. One major issue was that the shop drawings showed a rectangular/square wood cap, even though the reference photo I provided showed a round wood handrail. That was a major design difference, not a small detail. For a custom project of this size, I expected the drawings to accurately reflect the design direction I had communicated from the start. Another major frustration was the coordination process. I hired Hand Crafted Metalworks expecting them to manage the project. Instead, I felt like I was being put in the middle between their metal team and their wood subcontractor. I was connected directly with the wood subcontractor, who appeared to be unaware of important details, including that the wood was already part of the original quote. At one point, it felt like I was being asked to coordinate or clarify things that should have been handled internally by the contractor. There was also confusion around the timeline. A timeline that had been discussed as approximately six weeks later appeared to become September, which was a significant difference. When I asked for clarification, the conversation became defensive instead of simply explaining the scheduling change. Overall, my frustration is not just about one isolated issue. It is about the entire process: repeated miscommunication, inaccurate design assumptions, unclear subcontractor coordination, changing expectations, and a feeling that I had to keep fighting to preserve the original design vision I clearly communicated from day one. For a high-end custom project, I expected a much smoother and more professional process. Instead, I felt like I had to constantly correct, clarify, and manage details that should have been understood and handled by the company. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. I'd post only after the credit card dispute is filed, not before, and keep screenshots/emails organized in case they respond publicly.

The crew that did the demolition and construction were excellent. They took out everything, including the footers and poured new footers. All of the wood under the deck was pressure treated. We went with TimberTech material for the new deck. The construction crew was very experienced and meticulous in laying out and building the new deck. Everything is straight, well spaced and level. There was nothing they did that I felt could be done better. I would recommend the work crew very highly. The quality of their work was exceptional. The only issue we had was with communications from the office. We occasionally had problems finding out if the crew was going to work on a particular day, or if they were waiting for material (for example). All-in-all, a good experience and a good deck.
