We are absolutely in love with our new deck! Amber and her team were awesome to work with from start to finish. -She gave us a quick and wonderfully detailed bid. -Worked with our budget to get the most bang for our buck. -Created a very comfortable environment for asking questions which she answered quickly and clearly. -Was on the job exactly when she said she and her team would be. -Sent daily updates of progress and when they would be back. -Left the job site clean. -Finished on time and on budget! A construction project can easily represent the financial equivalent of a few days or several years of your life. Having a contractor that understands that and communicates professionally is priceless.
Home Depot referred us to 6-7 contractors for our deck rehab and Amber was the first contractor to return our call. We explained that we wanted to install Fiberon Verandah decking. She came to our home, gave us a bid that matched our budget, and was a little bit below any other bids we received. My wife and I liked her professionalism right away. She explained that she could do the job the following month and we signed a contract. I purchased the material and she picked it up at Home Depot for us. Amber started and finished the project exactly as stated in her contract, and our deck is beautiful! I greatly appreciated the fact that she was upfront about when she could do our job even though I was in a hurry to get it done. She communicated with us during the project and gave us some good suggestions. We enjoyed having her work at our home and it was a very smooth operation from start to finish. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!! If you have a project, I highly recommend that you call Cowan Custom Finishing and get a bid from Amber. I'm sure you will be happy that you did.
