Decks, interlock patios, driveways, and hardscaping are the focus. Several reviewers highlight competitive pricing and zero-surprise finishing. Vincent Taillon and Jake appear as standout carpenters.

4.1(185)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most customers report Andy's shows up on time, clears snow proactively after every fall, and communicates clearly through regular emails and SMS updates. A vocal minority cite repeated no-shows, delayed arrivals (hours after promising to return), minimal clearing effort (one pass instead of multiple), and poor coordination around vehicle moves. Staff treat customers with genuine care, including extra attention during personal emergencies. The management responds to feedback over years and retrains crews on property respect. Pricing is published by driveway type, though exact amounts are marked TBA. Long-term customers often stay loyal despite occasional seasonal hiccups.
