Tim and his helper did a fantastic job putting together our son’s backyard discovery play set. They were very organized and got this done in 2 days, in the middle of July nonetheless, which would have for sure taken my husband and I a couple of weekends to knock out ourselves. We have one very happy little boy. Tim was so easy to work with, and sent me pictures of progress, recommended some extra anchors where they were needed and was able to add those on the spot for us. I highly recommend him! Very pleased.

10/10 highly recommend! Tim and his team were nothing short of amazing. We had a swing set that was delayed multiple times from the delivery company. We wanted it done in time for my grandson’s birthday party. The assemblers that we usually use weren’t able to schedule it due to the timing of when we would have the set. They recommended Thumbtack.
I submitted my request on a Wednesday explaining my dilemma. Tim answered so quickly! His team happened to have a cancellation on that Friday, so he said he would hold the spot even though we didn’t know for sure if the delivery company would actually get it delivered this time (which was scheduled for Thursday). Thankfully it did.
They drove over 2 hours to help us out! They truly did a fantastic job! Not only did they get it done in a day, but they sealed it and even offered the option to purchase extra anchors for safety. The set was up and ready for the birthday party. They are truly the best!

Tim and Mike did an excellent job building our son’s playset. They were on time, professional, and the pricing was very fair. They even took the extra step of applying a sealant to help protect the wood. I had dropped the ball on getting MISS DIG out before installation, but Tim was incredibly understanding and willing to come back once the utility lines were verified so he could properly anchor everything for us. The playset turned out great, and you can tell Tim and Mike really cares about doing quality work. Highly recommend!

Tim did an outstanding job building our children’s swing set. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. His light-hearted personality made the entire process enjoyable, while his attention to detail gave us complete confidence in the finished product.
What impressed us most was that he went above and beyond by installing additional anchors to ensure the swing set was as safe and secure as possible for our children. That extra effort showed how much he genuinely cares about the quality of his work and the safety of the families he serves.
The swing set looks fantastic, is built solidly, and our kids absolutely love it. If you’re looking for someone who takes pride in their craftsmanship, communicates well, and truly exceeds expectations, I highly recommend Tim. We couldn’t be happier with the results!
