We hired Smallwood to add a multi-level +900 sq ft deck extension to our existing deck. In addition to the addition, we also asked to have the existing deck repaired/undated to match the next expansion. This was a fairly complicated project which, while I was capable of doing the work myself, simply did not have the time required to take of something this large at the current time. Due to the extensive rain we had in May/June, the project got started a couple of weeks later then originally planned. They sent out a two man team who worked the entire project from start to finish. They started immediately laying out everything with stakes, string and ground paint. They had us come out and inspect the intended layout and confirm the scope of the project. We actually tweaked the angles and layout slightly at this point based on their suggestions for look and traffic flow. They had some great ideas. We signed off on the changes and they started digging the footers. The deck was big so lots of footers had to be dug. They then framed up the overall shape and got the posts ready to go as soon as the 1st of three inspections had to be done. Inspection was done and work continued. Footers were poured and cured, Framing filled in and stairs located, positioned and installed. Every morning Id check in before work and asked about the plan of they day. They would review the days plan and let me know how the timeline was going. Every night when I got home Id inspect the work and everything was done as per plan with quality materials, appropriate fasteners and as per code. The project took a few weeks. This was actually really good time considering the multi levels, complexed angles and many rain days. Before heading home at night and for weekends, they always had the work site orderly, clean and secured for safety. It was extremely hot during the project and over the few weeks some of the boards warped, and others split. Not many, but enough to notice. Without ever saying anything, the guys would replace very thing that went wonky and continue on completing the project. The night before completion and after the final county inspection, I noticed a few areas where nails or screws where not quite right and the wood had checked. I wrote up a punch list to review the next day during the final walk thru. When they were ready for the walk thru, every single item on my punch list was already noticed and corrected before I could say anything. They also went above and beyond by replacing the old wood "drink rail" that was all warped on the fence surrounding the pool and enclosing the deck with a trex drink rail to match the work they did on the new deck itself. It made everything tie in and the entire backyard now looks like it was always intended that way. I can not say enough good things about Smallwood Renovations. They did the job as close to schedule as weather allowed, on budget and beyond my initial expectations. After seeing the end result, Im not sure it would have look nearly as good even if I did it myself. I was really impressed with the quality of the work. Highly Recommended!

Professional service with an eye for detail. I would recommend Smallwood Renovations for any home improvement project. They replaced the flooring on our large covered porch and it came out even better than I expected. They were able to come up with creative solutions that addressed incorrect work done previously. Their work on site was done efficiently and quicker than expected. Wish I could give them 6 stars!

We had the best experience with this company and its workers. They were professional, hard working, polite and did a fantastic job. They worked weekends at times to make up for being behind schedule due to heavy rains. We are completely satisfied with our new deck and screened-in porch, and Id highly recommend this company to anyone.

Job well done!!! From the beginning with meeting with the owner - Keith Smallwood - and during the whole construction process of our new screened in porch. Vinny who actually did the work was unbelievable - great guy - always asking before doing or changing things. I would definitely use these guys again.

Vinny and his crew installed a very small but intricate deck for us. They were fast, detail oriented, and always polite. They went over all the details with me and made sure the site was clean at the end of each day. I would definitely recommend them.
