I had called Jim about fixing some loose boards, some posts that were rotted, and others that looked like they were way too small for bearing the load of the deck of the house I had bought a couple of year ago. The previous owner had some work already done, but it was clear more was needed. My project was not urgent and I was willing to wait as I had heard many good things about Jim and his team. He came out right away to inspect and provide an estimate. Every time I called or texted him, he responded very promptly. Despite being busy, I did appreciate his consistency to always communicate, especially since we had a lot of extreme heat and bad weather days that pushed back some of the other projects he was working on. I never felt out of the loop. Jim was able to fix issues that the previous owners contractor could not. He was honest and open about the condition of the deck and whether things could be repaired or replaced. His pricing is very reasonable and for the quality of the work, I could not have asked for more. Jim is a very straightforward person and his honesty and responsiveness is something I find lacking in more and more contractors these days. I definitely plan to have Jim back when his schedule lightens up to power wash and stain our deck. I also have another project I look forward to working with him again on in the fall. My family and I are very happy with our deck now as everything is fixed and solid! Now, we can enjoy it for the rest of the summer.

James was awesome! Had him do a back deck for the house and it turned out great. Friendly guy, knew his stuff and was able to accommodate use with our specific needs. We wanted some extra stuff done and he was able to do it as well with a decent price.

Prior to Thanksgiving 2024, I contacted Jim to get an estimate on replacing aging deck boards, as well as providing the entire deck with a new stain. He came out promptly, provided a fair, detailed quote on the work to be done, and answered all of my questions before the project began. Once the work was underway, Jim pointed out an optional benefit of installing a couple of additional posts near the house to further ensure the deck would remain safe and secure for years to come. He incorporated that installation into the project and completed all of the work in a reasonable amount of time. Once the project was completed, Jim thoroughly cleaned up the work area. If you are looking to extend the life of your existing deck, I recommend you give Jim a call.

Our deck painting went very well, with work performed quickly and completely and in line with our estimate. We had unfortunate luck with rain after the paint was applied and Jim repainted compromised patches without issue. Thanks!

Jim did an excellent job cleaning and staining my deck. He was communicative, prompt, and professional. He provided lots of information to help me make the necessary decisions. He also noticed a section that needed a repair, and took care of it the same day. I have no doubt the result will last several years, and plan to call him back when the deck needs another refresh.

Jim did a great job with the work he performed at our house! He brought back to life a tired, old-looking swingset and gave our front porch, shutters etc a major refresh. He worked with me through some changes and indecision with fair pricing and quality work. I would definitely recommend Jim for your home projects!

Jim Cooke was very professional, very prompt and very thorough. He did a beautiful job of power washing and restaining our deck. He went above and beyond because our deck is a story above the ground level, so It required him to carry his equipment up a ladder. He took care of moving our grill and table, so he could complete his work. Jim and his crew completed the work In the time promised. He’s very reasonable, and I would use him again and recommend him to everyone who needs power washing and deck refinishing. Great work!

My deck is over 20 years old. The Deck Hand did a spectacular job with power washing, refinishing and staining! It now looks brand new ! The Deck Hand, Jim Cook and his team Are very conscientious. Also they are very detailed with their work. They also were very careful with protecting My neighbors deck and property (I live in a townhouse community) and the decks are attached with privacy fence dividers. I highly recommend the DecK Hand Very Impressed Suzanne

With plans to eventually put our home on the market, my wife and I needed to find someone to power wash the house, repaint our columns and steps, and paint our front and rear porches. The Deck Hand was able to provide all of these services, and more. The paintwork looks fantastic, and the house gleams like it did when it was first built. Jimmy was also able to thoroughly clean our white porch furniture, and it looks superb on the newly painted front porch. Jimmy did all this work for a fair price and in a timely fashion. I highly recommend The Deck Hand for any work you need doing with porches and decks, and you will not be disappointed with his power wash service.

Jimmy, the CEO and owner of The Deck Hand, is one of the most professional, hardworking, personable, and down-to-earth business owners that I've ever met. He responded immediately. Within a week, he gave us a free estimate, planned the job, and had our deck completed. His prices are, hands down, the absolute best out there. So if you're looking to get your deck stained, reach out to The Deck Hand—you will be happy that you did.

We've worked with Jim several times, to seal our deck, rebuild it entirely and now to rebuild our pergola. Each time he did great work, very professional and skilled while also being easy to work with. He listened to our needs, made appropriate suggestions and completed the work on time and on budget in each case -- and his pricing is extremely fair. We recommend his work to all our neighbors and friends.
