Serge and his crew came to our home in Boston emergently to evaluate our sagging deck due to wood rot and shoddy construction. We were having the deck stained and Serge was called to asses jacking and bolstering one med-large deck and replacing the floor of our smaller deck. He got the job done within days with his crew. They saved us thousands of dollars (what replacing the deck would've cost) and the work was exceptional. Serge is professional, responsive and talented. The price was beyond fair. Having used Angie's list for years I'm now a Thumbtack convert and thanks to this site I would never look further than serge for my finished carpentry. In fact we already have another project for them.

We hired them originally to replace our front porch. To his credit he did a very good job. The rest was a disgrace.
He said he could level out our backyard. There was a small 20x24 patch of dirt and grass. He said he would dig it up, level it, and pour concrete for $1,500. We said we would think about it.
We woke up on Saturday morning a guy was digging up our backyard. We agreed to do it, wasn't happy he started without our permission.
He leveled the back yard, and put wire mesh on the ground. A few days later he poured the concrete. He told my wife it would be the exact color as the surrounding concrete in the yard.
After a few days, sections of wire mesh came protruding through. His answer to fix it, poured Quickcrete over it. Other sections had huge dips, he filled with Quickcrete with rocks in it. The color is a bluish grey. No where near the color. It wasn't level and not even smoothed out in spots.
We called a friend of ours who is a mason, and has been for over 30 years. He came over and said he used watered down cheap concrete, you can tell by the color. He said did he fasten down the wire mesh and pour stone? No.
My wife called him and he came down and said my word is my bond. If you are not happy I will give you the money back. # hours later he came back and said if you want your money, my lawyer said sue me..
My wife said you said your word was your bond! Well I never said the color would be the same. My wife said you did and does that color look anything like the surrounding concrete. If you are not going to be man enough to give the money back, then be m,an enough to dig up the mess you put in my backyard. He said I guess I am not a man.
She said did you put stone down? No you don't need it. My friend said you do. He doesn't know what he is talking about. My wife said it will crack in less than two years because of inferior concrete. All concrete will crack, look over there! My wife said that concrete was poured 30 years ago and it started to crack two years ago!
Anyone who uses religious quotes on his sign and then lies and treats people like that after faulty work, is a disgrace.
To his credit, he did do a good job on the porch. Would never refer him or use him again.

I hired Sergio to complete my back yard deck. He did a really nice job on it. I hired him through Thumbtack. He also did a front porch for my sister and did a very nice job on that. So I hired him because he did such a good job on those projects. However, he should just stick to what he advertises for which is carpentry. After he completed the deck I asked him if he does masonry work? He said "yes", he does not!! He hired someone with little experience to do the work. I found this out after the fact. I asked Sergio if he does stone walls and he said he did. So I hired him for to do this project. The wall did not come out the way I had planned, it is not straight it bulges, he left jagged stones sticking out, I am not sure if it is it going to sustain the weather?? It is not even across the top!! Red flag, he says he asks for 2 payments, one in the beginning and then one when the job is done. But he asked me for money half way through the work to buy more supplies and said he couldn't finish if I didn't give it to him. The job quote also increased toward the end of the project!! Another red flag. One, Sergio is not a mason so don't let him do any of that kind of work for you and second, make sure his price is firm. I would not hire him for anything again! Sergio should stick to carpentry and not any kind of mason work at all. If he did, I probably could have given him a better review!!
