Honestly, 5-star isn't sufficient. Working with Joseph was absolutely the best experience I've ever…read morehad with a home renovation vendor and I've worked with dozens of them. Ever. Seriously. I had met with 6 other potential deck installers before Joseph and none of them came close to offering what Joseph offered in terms of craftsmanship, creativity, attention to detail, and thankfully, affordable pricing. Joseph and his crew of 3 went above-and-beyond for our project: a total tear down and complete replacement of our aging, structurally unsafe 2-story backyard deck of about 1200 sq. feet that was neglected for years by the former owner. We didn't simply want to recreate the old deck with new material; instead, we wanted to be bold and design an unique, one-of-a-kind deck, but within our budget. That's hard to pull off, but Joseph was able to do it. Despite losing a few days here and there due to rain and delays on material, Joseph & Co. were able to finish everything in about 2 months. I'm very hands-on with my home renovation projects. So Joseph and I spent dozens of hours scoping out this project, discussing pricing and materials, and project managing the project each day. Joseph always made the time to answer my (numerous) questions and he drove to my home dozens of times to check on his crew's work and speak with me. (He lives about an hour away.) Joseph is such a brilliant, knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy, and conscientious man who truly is passionate about his craft. He constantly came up with creative solutions to develop what I consider a very original deck, from the configuration he came up with to lay down 3 different sizes and 3 different colors of Timbertech deck boards, to installing thin cabling for our railing, to installing a lighting system for the railings and upper deck that perfectly illuminates every inch of both floors at night. He's also a perfectionist like I am. If something was slightly off, he'd work to get it perfect. Since this post is getting long. I'll end with commending his crew of 3 who worked their butts off for us every day. They were professional and thoughtful every step of the way. Whenever we had a nitpick, they would patiently address our concern. Please see photos below of the superb work Joseph & Co. did! Our guests complement us every time they come over and step out onto the deck.

I can't say enough about this company. Joseph rescued a deck build that I had started with another…read morebuilder who wanted to make changes to my design to the point that I was not going to be happy with the finished product at all. I had wanted a deck since I bought the house in 2004 and had spent the previous year processing and designing exactly what I wanted. Joseph came and corrected the unwanted changes and completed the deck to my specifications, discussing each detail along the way and assuring that I was happy with the results. All the men who worked for him were pleasant and patient with my daily questions. I am one of those who would rather be outdoors any day. I now have a deck that I think is the BEST room in the house!! I would readily do business with Joseph and his company again.

We initially contacted Like Father Like Son requesting an estimate to build a covered deck around…read moreour existing concrete patio slab. We requested a few estimates actually, we were interested in how much it we would save by laying the decking boards ourselves, and how much it would be if we skipped the roof. They were quick to reply with a detailed estimate for all of the variations we asked for. We ended up having them only do the deck framing and they did a fantastic job! I appreciated the fact that they cleaned up their work area every day before they left, never leaving a mess when they were done. I was particularly impressed with the effort that they took to answer all the questions I had while they worked, even making a point to give me various tips and details that would be helpful when I went to lay the decking boards later. Their advice was invaluable! I have the strong impression that they care about both the quality of their work and reputation and were invested in the final product being as good as possible even though I wasn't paying them to do the entire job. We will definitely use them again if the need arises. Highly recommended!

After enduring disappointment with two previous contractors, my experience with The Carpenter's Hand was nothing short of remarkable. From the initial conversation with Jeff to the final touches, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to excellence were evident throughout every step of the process. The Carpenter's Hand not only saved the day but transformed our vision into a reality with meticulous attention to detail and unparalleled craftsmanship. Their team exhibited a level of skill and efficiency that truly set them apart. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations, and the finished result is nothing short of spectacular. Throughout the two weeks, The Carpenter's Hand demonstrated a commitment to open communication and transparent collaboration. They consistently went above and beyond to address any concerns, ensuring that the project progressed smoothly. Their ability to navigate unexpected challenges with grace and expertise was truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend The Carpenter's Hand to anyone seeking a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor for their home improvement projects. Their dedication to delivering outstanding results and providing a positive customer experience has undoubtedly earned them my highest praise. I am grateful to have found Jeff and his team of professionals who not only met but exceeded my expectations, turning our house into a home that we can truly be proud of. We will certainly be calling them on our next project. Warning: Be very diligent when looking for a company or someone who calls themselves a contractor in San Antonio. There are many con artists in the area.
