When Kevin Florindo came over to give me an estimate for a new Trex deck, he took the time with me that the 2 other contractors did not. He walked me through the process and showed me the racks of sample Trex in his truck. He honestly told me it would be a two months' wait for the work to get done. He called me twice before my date to let me know my status and when the job would begin. It took 2.5 days to complete (rain delay on the first day) and was finished on day 3, as promised. And they cleaned up the mess! Mike and his crew (Tom, Kevin, James and Vinny) arrived at 7:30am and worked. And worked. And worked. I have never met such a professional group of men in the 25 years I have been in my home. (And that is saying quite a bit as my home is nearly 90 years old and I have had a few contractors over the years). They went above and beyond, were patient with my questions, and seemed to work as if they were building it all for themselves: such real pride in the craftsmanship. On day 3, Mike actually constructed a gate. I had assumed I was getting a pre-made Trex gate but he built it. Truly amazing. And lovely. I imagine the work done at my home (removal of wood deck, then installation of Trex deck, side step and gate) was not the largest job they've done but it was not an easy job. They handled it all and almost made it look easy. Thanks, Kevin. Thanks for knowing that the quality of the men you hire directly impacts the job they do. J-
