Local Dad Team were excellent in every measure! They were on time, as scheduled, enthusiastic about the job, and attentive to my requests. One of the young men said what it's all about: "We treat the job like it is our property". Great team, outstanding job, superior attitude!!

Eric did a great job staining our new wood fence. He is a good communicator, gave us a fair price, showed up as promised, and did excellent work. Our fence looks amazing! We highly recommend him for your jobs.

We hired The Local Dad for a fence stain info project. He was super responsive throughout the project, was very respectful of the neighbors when he went into their yard to stain, and when we had to reschedule due to rain, was super easy to schedule with even though he had to push back all of his projects with the rain. Highly recommend.
