I was in need of having the deck on my house resurfaced. During some prior work I was doing on the deck, I found several areas of rot around our gazebo, which was attached to the deck. I called several contractors to quote some bids for the work to resurface the deck and address the areas of concern with the gazebo. During this process, I contacted 3 different contractors, among them was Brison Swank, the owner of B Swank Remodeling. Upon calling Brison, he listened to my concerns and the scope of work I was suggesting. I set an appointment with Brison and he came out the next day. Brison was very professional, courteous and prompt in assessing the situation. During the initial estimate, Brison took a good bit of time measuring the areas and putting together the basis of his quote. The next day, he provided me with a quote for the work which detailed the cost of the labor and materials needed to resurface the deck and address the issues with the gazebo. Brison wasn't the cheapest quote, but I decided to go with him based on his professional demeanor. Brison gave me a time frame to complete the work and he also was upfront about other projects he was currently working.
Prior to the week of the work to be performed Brison followed up with me and set a time to have the materials delivered. The material was delivered promptly and upon inspection of the wood delivered, it was evident that Brison took the time to ensure the boards were not cracked or warped. Brison has assistants who were very helpful and were attentive to ensure that each day of work progress was being made. At the end of each day, the job site was completely cleaned and all tools were put away, swept or dusted. During the tear-off of the decking material it became evident that there were several other areas of rot and damage due to the age and wear of the structure. Each time an issue cropped up, Brison communicated with me directly and thoroughly to advise of new change orders. I appreciated this process, because it let me know the additional cost and time needed to finish the project. I have worked with several contractors over the years, but I have never worked with someone like Brison who pays attention to detail at this level. I watched Brison on more than one occasion, install and then remove boards because he was not satisfied with the cut or lay out. Brison made excellent suggestions about the structural integrity, design and look of my project. He also had several hundred photos of work he had completed on other projects, which was helpful. Brison is excellent at communication, every time I had questions or concerns he answered them right away and always in the same day. The end result of the work was exceptional, I was very happy with the outcome of my project. If you are looking for somebody who is professional, courteous, on-time and communicative I would highly recommend Brison Swank Remodeling.
