There was a time when finding reputable home improvement companies was as uncomplicated as picking up a phone book or responding to a billboard. Today, the process has become as overwhelming as it has jaded… making it almost impossible to know, with confidence, who to call when you need a new deck, fence, patio, railing or countless other outdoor remodeling projects. Even some of the most popular review websites are teeming with ads, staff posts, competitor negatives, disgruntled former employees, and this nauseating list just goes on.
