Brandon turned a hillside of weedy blackberry brambles into a three-tiered backyard oasis. He came with the vision and the skills to make my vague idea a beautiful reality.
Plus my dog loves him… need I say more?

Brandon does great work! Costco couldn't install a new gas range because it needed a 5/8 and our old one had a 3/8. Brandon worked past his normal hours on a Saturday night to get it fixed. I highly recommend him.

I have had Brandon do a number of jobs for me ... some rather urgent. He is quick to get back to me, and for those that were urgent, he came soon after calling him. His work is great and his prices are very reasonable. I feel so lucky to have found him! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
Thanks for always taking such good care of me, Brandon!

72 hours of frustration was brought to an end by Brandon coming to the rescue and cleaning up another’s “work” after by both reinstalling and programming deadbolts. Not a large job but he made time to help me out working into the early evening. He’s professional, an excellent communicator, tenacious in his approach to assessing and working through the project to its completion. Do yourself a favor and call Brandon first.

Brandon did a wonderful job on a complex retaining wall with lighting. The whole experience from beginning to end was five stars! He listened to what we wanted, was professional, showed up when he said he would and his attention to detail was very much appreciated. We will definitely use Hammering Outside The Box for future projects!

Brandon was easy to work with and very detailed oriented. He did what was asked and communicated well. He was always there when he said he would be. I would 100% use this company for any project needed. Thank you so much Brandon!

Brandon was so awesome!! Went above and beyond with his work and gave realistic recommendations for what we could and couldn’t do with our space which I appreciate immensely!!

Brandon was really fun to work with and always in a cheery mood. His work is excellent!! He is also just a good person in general. He even helped us when a foster kitten got stuck in our wall too (the kitten is safe and has been adopted btw)! Brandon’s a big animal lover which is a big plus in my book!!

Thank you so much for helping us with our almost century old house and making it a home!

Services: Fence installation, patio rail installation, plumbing repairs, general repairs
Positive: Professional, punctual, responsive to needs, quality workmanship, value, positive attitude

After seeing what a great job Brandon did building an extension cover for my neighbor’s patio, I asked him to install a railing on our patio. Since then, Brandon has constructed a fence in our backyard, installed outdoor lighting, completed some general repairs, and came to our rescue when we had a plumbing emergency. Brandon’s work is always professional, and he won’t stop until he gets it right. I highly recommend Brandon, and look forward to working with him on future projects.

Brandon is a man of integrity and a thorough professional. He provides several alternatives to a task that needs to be accomplished, consults with the homeowner and then gets busy with implementing it to a very high quality. He also helps with material selection. All of this at a fair price. Brandon is now my "Go-To" construction professional. Thank you for everything, Brandon. We wish you all the best.

Brandon is a hard worker. He is honest and is great for large and small projects. He helped remodel three of our bathrooms. We were happy with the results. He also helped with smaller jobs that really needed attention. He does great work for reasonable price. I recommend him.

I've had Brandon do a few jobs for me over the years and he's the guy I go to for just about anything. He does quality work at a reasonable price..... always reliable and very easy to work with.

Brandon does excellent work and is a good communicator. He installed a dishwasher and a large overhead exhaust hood in the kitchen. He also installed a large medicine cabinet and light fixture in the bathroom. He repaired some roof supports in the attic. He replaced some wall lighting fixtures on a stairway and in a bedroom.

Brandon was great to work with, easy to communicate with (which is huge as a homeowner) and is open to changing plans as the project evolves and was fair with pricing as that process continued. Worked with me on materials which now a days can be tricky. He let my 4 and 6 year old participate in simple things which was a great experience for them (thats not for everyone). We have two regulars that do different types of work for us. Brandon will now be the third.

He built a 25x36 ft elevated patio for us with fire pit, two entries and 2.5 to 4.5 ft wall heights. Installed drainage, flagstone landing and back filled damaged yard and reseeded the grass.

I've seen friends patio's that have been done by other companies and it looks like how I would have done them myself. Finished but amateur. Their cost ran out of control and I heard the typical " I'll never use them again." I didn't have any of those problems with Brandon and Hammering Outside the Box.

In fairness I got 4 bids on the project. Hammering Outside the Box came in with the fairest price in my opinion right in the middle. He wasn't the least expensive but after seeing the quality of his work he was absolutely the right choice.

We are very grateful to Brandon. We asked him to fix a small amount of rotted trim on deck support posts. He found that the post had rotted almost completely. He made time in his schedule to replace and paint the post, and he did a great job. We can’t tell it had been replaced. Thank you Brandon.!!

Brandon helped us out with a project we needed to complete before we could move out of our house. He was professional, did the job great and we paid what he originally quoted us. I would recommend Hammering Outside the Box to anyone.

Brandon did an excellent job repairing the rubber seal and caulking in our shower. We also had some water marks from snow so he inspected the attic for us and brought down some buckets we placed. I highly recommend using Brandon for any home fixes or projects!

Brandon at Hammering Outside the Box constructed a little garden house for us. All the pieces arrived in my driveway as a giant shrink-wrapped cube, a kit from a big box store. He used the online instructions I sent him and a couple of calls to the manufacturer in Canada to piece it together. The garden house has 8 windows, 6 skylights, and a Dutch door. I asked him to build the whole thing in mirror image to fit the site, leave off the window boxes, and add peg board and a little front deck. He had to adjust the foundations for both the garden house and the deck to accommodate huge tree roots and the slope. I admire the skills, experience, creativity and flexibility that he displayed in handling this complicated project. Brandon communicated his arrival and departure every day, and in spite of so many variables, he was consistently good-natured and stuck with the project till it was done. In the end I love my garden house. It's perfect- and all my neighbors think so too.

I’d highly recommend Brandon for anything you need done around the house. He was on-time, professional, reasonably priced and was extremely thorough with his work.

The builder of my home informed me that I had snow damage so I called Brandon to inspect my attic. He kept in touch with me for his ETA and inspected my attic to find that I had no damage which was a huge relief. We discussed multiple projects for my home and Brandon was happy to provide cost estimates for all of the projects. Brandon is very knowledgeable knows what he's doing and I trust him. I am looking forward to getting the quotes for my projects and I'm sure they will all be successful. I would not hesitate to hire Brandon.

Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
