"We are extremely pleased with the basement renovation performed by Skills and Tools. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations and the job was completed in less time than expected.  They followed up on commitments and took pride in the work they were doing. We consider the project a total success and would use Rick and his team again in the future without hesitation."

"Skills and Tools did a great job finishing our basement. Rick and his crew were professional and courteous during the entire project and they stayed on track and on budget. I would highly recommend Skills and Tools."

Thanks Matt

"We wanted to thank you for a job well done. I asked you to start the job and finish it without interruption, keep the place as tidy as possible and to clean up after you were finished. Rick, you and your very cordial crew met and exceeded my expectations. A Job well done and I will certainly recommend you to all friends and family. Thank you again."

Rick and Marsha Dowd

"Rick did everything the way he said he would - calling first thing in Spring after last Fall's estimate and turning up with his workers as scheduled.  He did two things no other contractor did - he checked the building site for underground cables, and installed a guard rail beside a basement window well as a safety requirement.  He kept to his estimate except for one necessary addition and created a solid, well built deck."

"We waited a long time to get a new deck and now we wish we had it done years ago.  We have enjoyed our deck all summer. The entire process was easy. You arrived on time, helped to brainstorm with design ideas and followed up when you said you would. With the deck design you had a brilliant idea of building around our maple tree and completed the research to ensure our tree would be safe. The construction days went well and stayed on schedule. In four days our beautiful new deck was done. It is difference between a job done and a job well done.  We look forward to you completing our basement renovation next year."

"My new deck is AWESOME.  My wife and I love it.  Rick and his crew were very quick, flexible, friendly....and did I mention fast?  Four working days total!  The workmanship exceeded my expectations.  My neighbors are all jealous.  And his prices were almost exactly the same as the other four quotes I got (including Home Depot), except we got the added benefit of beautiful cedar wood.  I plan on using Skills and Tools again for my fencing.  AWESOME!"

Hi Rick,

"Just wanted to say a big thank-you to you and your team for doing such a great job. We are so pleased with our new deck and your attention to detail was great. We've noticed that every nail in the floor is in line, for instance, and other details that we feel another contractor might not have cared about; we felt that you treated our deck as your own, that it was not just a job. It really shows that you care about your customers. You finished when you said you would, and your crew cleaned up afterwards: It was a pleasure meeting you and we will not hesitate to recommend you. Our friends have said nothing but good things--in fact one neighbors said "congratulations"! Well, I think the congratulations should instead be to you and your wonderful crew for caring about your job and the customers. Keep up the great work."

All the best,
Lora and Guy.

“I LOVE my new deck. The whole experience was stress-free. Rick helped me design a deck that suited my needs. The deck was built quickly and efficiently. His crew was hardworking and professional. The quality of the craftsmanship is amazing. Everyone who comes to see my new deck is impressed at how well built it is and also, with the finishing touches. I would not hesitate to recommend Skills and Tools to my friends and family. I am definitely a happy customer.”

"I want to thank you and your team for the great work you did on our deck.  We love it.  It makes such a difference to our backyard. Your employees were always very professional with me and my family. A special thanks for getting the job done, as promised, before our big event.

We will definitely recommend you to friends, family or neighbors who are thinking of having a deck built."

Skills and Tools built our deck a few years ago and we were so impressed with that job (and the deck still looks terrific) that we called them again for a quote to finish our basement.  In no time at all, the basement was completely finished and it looks fantastic!  Rick and his crew helped refine the initial design, were accommodating to changes we made along the way, and ensured the final product was of high quality.  In fact, neighbor who recently had their basements finished by other contractors were impressed with the workmanship and finish of our basement.  All of Rick's crew were very helpful, courteous, respectful (should I add patient, Rick?) and professional.  We absolutely recommend Skills and Tools.
