Fence repair

Daniel & Danny did a beautiful job and at a reasonable price. They finished in a timely manner and left everything clean when they left. I would certainly hire them again and recommend them to others.

Composite Deck

Danny really possesses great work ethic as displayed in the building of our composite deck. Danny is both reliable and trustworthy not to mention his excellent workmanship. Danny recently completed another deck for a family member. It was done in a professional manner with great satisfaction. Both my sister and I highly recommend this Danny for his friendliness and dedication to his craft. Good luck to the future and stay in touch.

Very Poor Construction Quality

Had a deck and gazebo done last year. A year later it's a rickety mess. There's more to building a deck then just using screws and nails. No proper joist hangers were used and now had to call in a proper deck company to reinforce the shoddy workmanship with proper brackets and mending plates because the gazebo roof sagged so badly.

The unqualified labour he used seemed to think breaking off the exposed corners of concrete footings with a sledge hammer was a good idea. That is until the entire top of the footing broke off. Had I not seen them do it they would have just left the beam hanging over the now demolished footing. The footings were also not poured in the correct spots for the Gazebo leaving some of the posts almost hanging off the edge of the footing.

All of those website photos may look nice but the construction techniques are sloppy and poor. Just a lot of toe nailing and wood screws. No heavy fasteners used at all for the main structure. This deck was a complete waste of money.

EDIT: You respond that "I guess you can't please everyone but the most important part is the work got done and you now can shelter from the summer sun"

Look at the photos. This is not a matter of pleasing anyone. This is shoddy and poor workmanship and actually quite dangerous when those posts and footings come loose. The posts were not even placed in the centre of the footings (or what's left of them). There is no excuse for this.

Edit #2: A properly licensed deck company I hired to rectify the issues had said they have never seen such shoddy work; boards that were riddled with nails and simply bent out of the way so that they can be re-used. They removed the footings completely and re-poured them properly (and to the proper depth) and re-built the Gazebo. They drew up repair plans via CAD and were even nice enough to document all of the errors in the event I wish to take legal action - which I intend on doing.

its about time I had a unpleasant review. I guess you can't please everyone but the most important part is the work got done and you now can shelter from the summer sun. I know I'm not the best and I didn't say I am also wood tends to warp in the heat and the wind blows hard in winter time. if you'd like you could contact me danny and we can straght the gazebo out 6478296991. thank you for the work and have yourself a great summer.

Back deck

Danny and his team did good work. We had some problems with scheduling and the job took much longer than expected but he was also understating of our asks of him as well.

Overall the deck looks very good!

Thank you for the work and I understand it wasn't done on time. We learn from these experiences so we've contracted a new materail supplier so we dont have these experiences again. we can't guarantee but will do our best so our costumer can have that deck ready for the family in the summer or for that important party. Have a great summer.

Deck and fence

Danny is very reliable and does really good quality work. Our deck and fence are more beautiful than we imagined. He is very efficient in completing jobs. He was very responsive with requests to make minor changes after the job was completed and did this very willingly. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Deck Renovation

We have a 14+ year old deck on which we wanted to replace a series of picket railings with clear glass panels, as well make a few minor repairs. Well Done Carpentry came out to assess and provide helpful advice, then executed the agreed changes in an efficient and friendly manner. A pleasure to deal with from beginning to end.

New backyard fence . Be bannisters for the the front porch . Cover concrete stairs with with matching wood .

Backyard needed a brand new fence all around . Neighbor complaint it’s a shared walkway even though the property line was on my side . Dan said no problem , installed a 32” door on the new fence so say neighbor can have access to their yard . Everybody is happy . Front porch looked horribly aesthetically so Dan re did the porch railing and covered the ugly concrete stairs with matching wood through out . Dan knew I had to get the house to market for rent by Jan 1st and Dan delivered 4 days early . Tenants are in , place looks great and we’ve never been happier .

Gates and Fencing Project

Gates and Fencing Project

I met Danny from Well Done Carpentry when he came by to look over my back yard gate and supporting fencing project. I told him that I wanted to do something different and unique and not just put up another quickly constructed standard wooden gate and fence slapped together in a two day job. Unlike the other companies that came to look at the job, Danny, on the other hand, was interested in my drawings and said that he would do the job and gave me an estimate the same day. Later he told me that the job appealed to his artistic side. As you can see by the pictures, the gate and fence is quite different.

The job took approximately two and a half days of work done over a three week period as Danny was doing work on other sites while the concrete the 6 x 6 posts were set in cured. Once that was done Danny then started to work on the unique gate which was a creative challenge for an artistic skilled carpenter. The end result was very impressive. Once the gates were up the unique looking fencing (I wanted it to look like siding) went up easily and quickly. In addition, Danny fitted both gates with top quality heavy duty gate latches and hinges.

The new gates and fencing looked great. Danny’s carpentry skills delivered within time and budget and the new gates and fencing have enhanced my property immensely, both in value and enjoyment.

Fence

Could not be happier with the quality of Danny’s work and his professionalism. Our fence was constructed to the highest of carpentry standards and we are very pleased with the result. He was always extremely punctual, gave us a very reasonable quote and completed the job with a minimum of fuss and to a very high standard. Would happily hire him again for more work in future! Highly recommend.
