Gen and I compliment you on the deck-pergola project you just completed for us:
Removal of our rear patio (concrete slab) and installation of:
- custom-designed 390 square-foot deck with two chamfered bump-outs; PVC band board and stair risers; two step-down yard exits; surround railing; low-voltage accent lighting; GFI electrical outlet extension; a 10’x13’ double-tiered pergola with colonial pillars—extending from the rear roof-line of the house; sub-floor weed block; and 1”x1” lattice underdeck screening
- a natural-gas line for a grill on the deck
- matching exterior electric wall sconces flanking the deck
You did a superb job, and the results are outstanding. We could not be more pleased. You met or exceeded our expectations for aesthetics and quality craftsmanship.
We particularly appreciate your patience, cooperation, and constructive suggestions during concept development and your initiative in meeting with the Architectural Review Committee to advocate for the proposal Gen and I submitted to the Homeowners Association. You are responsive to customer needs, do precision work, and deliver all that you promise and more—on schedule and under budget.
Special commendation goes to Thomas “Butch” Walsh who, as you know, ended up performing the vast majority of the construction work by himself. Few craftsmen have as commendable a work ethic as does Butch—none better. We greatly appreciated his organization, reliability, punctuality, skill, and attention to detail/adherence to spec. Gen and I particularly valued his regular coordination with us—coordination that either yielded positive refinements to the basic design or assured sound decisions during execution of the plan.
You and Butch are consummate professionals, and, without reservation, we would recommend AF Ross to any-one in need of a quality professional builder.
