Introduction

I provide assembly and installation services, specializing in play sets, pergolas and gazebos. For play sets, I specialize in larger sets that require skill, expertise and a commitment to safety. I specifically assemble sets designed by backyard, kidkraft and gorilla. As an independent installer, I can assemble and anchor them faster, more efficiently and cheaper than the installation companies that they contract with. Lead time is typically 1-2 days from initial contact, whereas the installers through their website are usually 4-6 weeks. My pricing is 20% lower than the posted installation on the company's website so you can look up your specific set and know my fee up front. I also provide sealant and restoration services once the set is assembled so your kids and grandkids can enjoy your playset for many years to come For fences, I have a three step process: cleaning, washing and staining. I use a cleaning solution prior to power washing that helps restore the wood to its original state. I then fully power wash and allow the wood to dry. I then apply Behr premium stain and apply two coats for a better overall look and durability. Most fences can last 6-8 years after being properly prepared and stained. Keep in mind that the posted price on thumbtack is labor only. Stain and supplies are an additional cost. I can come take pictures and measurements in order to provide an accurate estimate.
