Fantastic, new, treated Sienna rooftop deck.
I have had several beautifully done projects done for me by Rawlinson Carpentry and when it came time to renew my upper deck, I thought of no-one else.
Tom D came around in the early spring, took exact measurements and patiently discussed both my needs and wants, guiding me with his advice. I later spoke with Thomas R, whose decades of experience further refined (read: improved!) what I had asked for. My need for greater privacy and the countering of light pollution, were incorporated into the design.
I was scheduled for an early spring date and Thomas R kept me up-to-date with their precise start date.
Tom D, assisted by Daria when required, worked both hard and carefully, creating in a matter of only five days, a bigger and much better top deck. Tom was originally going to re-build the deck using the existing bolt downs but, being a perfectionist, bought new ones AND placed them 6 inches further out, giving me an extra half foot in deck size all around which is very noticeable and appreciated! My old deck had been badly installed and designed and I realized just how much so, as Tom was rebuilding. For example, by changing the direction of the floorboards from N/S to the longer E/W, I got rid of almost all of the board seams, leaving a larger and more streamlined look. I also now have a 5 foot solid fence, with an attractively framed privacy latticed 1 foot top (Thomas Rs better suggestion, along with fence posts, which I hadnt even considered adding ) providing me needed privacy while at the same time,
blocking unwanted light pollution from the house behind me.
Once again, I couldnt be happier with the people, the work ethic, the quality of building materials, the skilled workmanship, the adherence to the building code and the pride in their work, shared amongst all members of Rawlinson Carpentry.
Tom D summed everything up both touchingly and well, when he said to
me on the last day that he built my deck as though he was building it for himself. A heartfelt thank you, once again, from me to all of you.
