This Chris guy completely sucks and wasted my time! First off He missed our first Scheduled…read moreappointment and Then had a excuse that made no sense why he pulled a no call no show! It took another week just to get him here, then after that. I give him 2 weeks plus a third ( for holiday reasons and his busy schedule, pretty much benifit of dought) & to get my estimate out to me .He has a excuse each week on why nothing's been sent over ! Look I have had someone recently work on my house called Coco construction and they did a terrible job and scammed me out of 2 grand I have a entire siding and decking that needs another whole replacement. Wilmington home improvement where supposed to have my back and fix what happened he made me feel safe at first . But they have done nothing but play games and give me Excuses! I felt like I have been treated even worse then coco Construstruction treated me . So Can I just please find a truthful and upfront and dedicated company for once! Like Jesus what's so hard about caring for you're customers?! So don't believe the fake reviews they have posted guys . He sucks and on first appearance he looked to me like he was on some drugs even if half the time he did have a few intelligent remarks but just wait till YOU see for yourself if you choose! Overall Not a good pick if you're just a average hardworking person ! He's just trying to make himself look good with all the helping photos from big easy jobs due to the storm for big Businesses and rich people or people that at least live very comfortably! I can understand being busy but there's no excuse for this treatment. I know he has been receiving my messages because we both have iPhones it tells me. So listen people I'm not just a a up tight and ignorant person that's just pissed off , NO! because if he didn't want this job or to help us he should have just said that from the start not beat around the bush, so I can find someone else. I even asked him if he plans on wasting my time and is too busy for this job I will find someone else's I just need to know now... this was after waiting a week and half for a freaking estimate! That let me remind you the estimate wasn't that difficult I'm sure of it and he said he would help me with a statement on how the previous work done was not correct so I did really feel at first he was being a good person . His response to my question was - (Chris) " I would never waste you're time I am sorry" but look how far that got me ! Then every week after was "I'm busy I'm sorry I will get it out to u this evening " but every week & day nothing ! And if that's how he is about a damn estimate I would hate to see how he works ! nobody has time for a LIAR! I hope this review helps whomever is reading , because I strongly suggest you pick someone else, I don't ever post reviews about people but lately people keep screwing me over and this guy knew about that, the website claims to be 24/7 emergency service and they are honest and reliable . None of that is true tho and if it is true then it most certainly didn't include me on that type of treatment after patently waiting for weeks and being very respectful up until today!

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

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!!!!
