Jim did a great job with the work he performed at our house! He brought back to life a tired, old-looking swingset and gave our front porch, shutters etc a major refresh. He worked with me through some changes and indecision with fair pricing and quality work. I would definitely recommend Jim for your home projects!

I just had a joist under my deck repaired by Jim, The Deck Hand. He gave me a great price, he was ontime, did very clean work, and was done in no time. If anyone is in need, I highly recommend him.

James was awesome! Had him do a back deck for the house and it turned out great. Friendly guy, knew his stuff and was able to accommodate use with our specific needs. We wanted some extra stuff done and he was able to do it as well with a decent price.

I had Jim replace my deck in 2020 and he did a great job at a good price. This year it was time to get it cleaned and stained. The deck looks great and should certainly hold up to the weather. As an added bonus he power sprayed the north side of my house. It looks great too!

Great experience. British guy from Liverpool so no concerns about liability. Great product from a real expert. They suggested the color and was spot on. I had made a horrible decision last time the deck was done- live and learn. Just listen to him and you will be happy. Price was good and timing was great. Don’t waste your time on others.

I called for a quote to stain our deck. Jim, the owner came the next day. Mike did the job 2 business days later. Jim is super responsive and personally took care of a few minor issues for me. Overall, I am very satisfied and I would definitely use this company again. Thanks Mike and Jim. 😊

Our neighbor at Orchard Valley recommended Jim to stain our deck. Jim took advantage of a break in the weather (March) and got the work done and at a great price. We know who we will call the next time the Homeowner's Association tells us it's time to restain the deck.

Can’t say enough great things about Jim and his services. Incredibly kind and extremely knowledgeable in his field. Work was done to my highest level of satisfaction and the prices are very reasonable. Will be a return costumer when my deck needs to be restrained/sealed in a few years time.

Prior to Thanksgiving 2024, I contacted Jim to get an estimate on replacing aging deck boards, as well as providing the entire deck with a new stain. He came out promptly, provided a fair, detailed quote on the work to be done, and answered all of my questions before the project began. Once the work was underway, Jim pointed out an optional benefit of installing a couple of additional posts near the house to further ensure the deck would remain safe and secure for years to come. He incorporated that installation into the project and completed all of the work in a reasonable amount of time. Once the project was completed, Jim thoroughly cleaned up the work area. If you are looking to extend the life of your existing deck, I recommend you give Jim a call.

With plans to eventually put our home on the market, my wife and I needed to find someone to power wash the house, repaint our columns and steps, and paint our front and rear porches. The Deck Hand was able to provide all of these services, and more. The paintwork looks fantastic, and the house gleams like it did when it was first built. Jimmy was also able to thoroughly clean our white porch furniture, and it looks superb on the newly painted front porch. Jimmy did all this work for a fair price and in a timely fashion. I highly recommend The Deck Hand for any work you need doing with porches and decks, and you will not be disappointed with his power wash service.

If you are looking to for a service provider to spruce up your deck or power wash your home, i highly recommend The Deck Hand. The proprietor is a consummate professional with decades of experience. Mr. Cook listens carefully to your needs while offering useful recommendations and advice. He is diligent and his work ethic is bar none. As an added bonus, Mr. Cook is down-to-earth and quite friendly. As a woman looking to hire a contractor, it is always a relief to find one who is honest and fair-minded. Most importantly, the results were pristine and well executed. My deck looks brand new! Do yourself a favor and reach out for a quote.

Jim did an excellent job cleaning and staining my deck. He was communicative, prompt, and professional. He provided lots of information to help me make the necessary decisions. He also noticed a section that needed a repair, and took care of it the same day. I have no doubt the result will last several years, and plan to call him back when the deck needs another refresh.

Jimmy, the CEO and owner of The Deck Hand, is one of the most professional, hardworking, personable, and down-to-earth business owners that I've ever met. He responded immediately. Within a week, he gave us a free estimate, planned the job, and had our deck completed. His prices are, hands down, the absolute best out there. So if you're looking to get your deck stained, reach out to The Deck Hand—you will be happy that you did.

We've worked with Jim several times, to seal our deck, rebuild it entirely and now to rebuild our pergola. Each time he did great work, very professional and skilled while also being easy to work with. He listened to our needs, made appropriate suggestions and completed the work on time and on budget in each case -- and his pricing is extremely fair. We recommend his work to all our neighbors and friends.
