After almost falling through my deck of 15 years, I decided I needed a change. Josh and his crew came by and took measurements and provided options for replacement. Not long thereafter, I received a quote for each option we discussed. After researching estimated costs of each option and looking at the quotes provided, I decided to go with a flagstone patio—I should not fall through THAT! I had friends and neighbors over for a “preview,” and the response was consistent: “This looks awesome! I want to come sit here and have coffee in the mornings!” Needless to say, I am loving it!
