“Michael, owner of Above Standard Handyman, initially worked on our deck back in July. As background, our deck was looking so bad, we thought it may need to be torn down and completely replaced (costing many thousands of dollars). Michael came out to initially survey our deck in order to see if it could be saved. Thankfully, he told us that he could bring our deck back to life. We sat down and drew up a contract for the cost and the scope of the work Michael would do. After after the first visit Michael made an appointment to start the work. After the initial day of work, the difference in our deck was amazing. It literally looked like new. At this point, we still needed our stairs repaired, and the lattice around the base of the deck to be replaced. After replacing the lattice with new material, Michael went to work on our deck steps (a run of three stairs). Michael did not seal the new lattice as it needed to dry out a bit before getting stained. The new steps were a treated wood, so they were stained/sealed. With the combination of new wood, the freshly sanded and bleached deck wood ,and the new deck stairs, Michael told us that he would need to come back in two months to lay down a second coat of stain/ sealant. Two months later in mid September, , we gave Michael a call to set up the second coat. He came out and finished the job quickly and professionally. A few weeks after he finished, we noticed a couple issues with the new steps. Nothing major, just a little tweaking that we wanted to have done. We contacted Michael to set up a time for the additional work. Without complaint or attitude, Michael asked when would be a good time to do the additional work (I should add that the additional visit and the labor cost was all covered under the original contract, minus material cost). We set up the new appointment, Michael came back to our house, and surprisingly, had already made the additional riser we wanted installed to shore up our steps. I posted the before and after pictures on my social media, and my friends could not believe that the deck was not rebuilt. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the result. We would definitely use Michael again if we have another job that needs doing. I have attached a few pictures to illustrate the amazing transformation Michael accomplished with our deck. Michael, thank you for giving our deck a second life, Blake A. Mathison”
