We had been very pleased with Good Looking Homes (GLH) when they cleaned our deck in 2012, so we approached them again with something different.
The wood on a gatepost we had had installed in 2007 was cracking and no longer holding the screws that kept the gate in place. The installation had been done by a very good contractor and the cracking was the result of weather, ground settling, etc. over six years. Wood epoxy worked for a while but still the screws kept coming out.
At first GLH said the gate and posts would need replacing at a cost of $700 and that it would take a long time to find someone to do it during a busy time of year.
When Liam came to our place, he came up with an alternative to reposition the hinges on the other side of the gate and use different screws. That took an hour or less, at one-tenth of the cost, and it looks great. And as always, the clean-up left no trace.
That shows a lot of honesty and integrity, to do what's right instead of going for the big bucks. If that's the way they operate, Liam and Nathan will make up that money many times over with referrals and repeat business from happy customers!
