Tim was great! Quick to respond, explained everything in detail, showed up when he said he would.

I hired Tim to repair/replace the back porch fence and gate plus fill in gaps in the concrete steps. I received three quotes before making the decision as to who to hire. Tim's quote was very detailed while the others were just a total cost. The work was done exactly as he described in the quote. He was very good at keeping me informed of the status, any needed changes from the original plan and when he would be returning to complete the work. And he cleaned up the work site upon completion.
Tim did a fantastic job building a privacy fence. Very professional as well as prompt. The quality was great as well as his attention to detail.
I hired Tim to replace my water heater and repair my deck, and I’m beyond impressed with his work! He was professional, efficient, and truly went above and beyond. The water heater replacement was seamless. He arrived on time, explained the process clearly, and had everything installed and tested in no time. It’s been running perfectly ever since, and I appreciate how he cleaned up the area spotless afterward.
The deck repair was equally fantastic. He fixed several damaged boards and ensured the structure was solid, all while keeping the look I wanted. His attention to detail and quality really stood out. Throughout both jobs, he kept me updated, answered all my questions, and made the entire experience stress free. The pricing was fair, and the work was exceptional. I’d recommend him for any home project. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks, Tim, for a job well done!
Southern Forge Construction’s reply: Thank you Sarah! I'm happy I could help.
Tim was an exceptional worker. The quality and professionalism he showed was well worth the money spent. I would hire him for any home improvement tasks I have Olinda the future. His rate was reasonable and he was a pleasure to work with.
