We contacted Brian to repair my parent’s deck boards and add a wheelchair ramp. He was professional, courteous, friendly and prompt throughout our interactions in messaging and in person. Before he had the opportunity to get his bid to us, we had a family member notify us they were available to do the project for just the cost of materials, so Brian didn’t get a chance to work on our project, but he will be our first call on the next project we need help with.

Details: Repair one or few decking boards • Repair significant wood rot or water damage • Replacement of entire portions of deck or porch • Wood • Residential

Big Dog replaced and updated my fireplace and we love it. He also put a fence around my backyard and my grand dogs loved it

Big Dog Designs did incredible work on my front porch and back deck. He was punctual and worked throughout the day. His price for the work was a lot cheaper than I expected. The porch looks great! He responded to my needs quickly and completed the work in one day. I will contact Big Dog Designs in the future for my carpentry needs.

Had Brian do a prehung interior bathroom door and some base trim and quarter round in the bathroom. Brian was on time and very courteous. The work was okay there was a few things as far as the trim goes with a large gap and being 3 pieces together behind the toilet. The trim on the outside of the door also completely covers one side and barely covers the other side.

Details: Interior door, like a bedroom or closet door • 1 door • Standard • Wood • Yes, the new door replaces an existing door • No, I’ll purchase the door myself • Install new trim around the door • Home
