Carolina Decks and More stained my deck. Kevin and Kalen did an excellent job preparing the deck for the new stain. It looks just like I wanted it to look. Kevin and Kalen were very kind and courteous. They went above and beyond to be sure everything was done right. As a Senior Citizen, I especially liked that they…

I live in Florida and recently had my parents’ house remodeled, which included three new decks. When it came time to have them stained, I contacted Carolina Decks and more. Jim could not have been more nice or professional. I am in Florida, and their communication was great. They made it very easy to deal with,…

I’m so happy with this whole experience. The back deck and cedar posts in on our front deck look amazing. I met Jim the owner and his tech Kevin. Both were awesome and knew what they were doing. I met with a couple other companies and they both raised red flags for me. Pictures attached.

In this world of "hurry and finish so we can move on to the next job" contractors, Carolina Decks and More is a blessing. It's indeed rare to find a company that genuinely cares about the quality of their work as much as they do. From the owner, Jim, down through the carpentry team, and onto the staining crew, each…

Have been using Carolina Decks and More since I bought my home in 2011. When they first did my deck, they stripped it of all prior stains and coatings and then cleaned it, sealed it and stained it. They did an excellent job the initial time and each time after, including the recent cleaning and staining this week.…

Fair price. Courteous crew. Easy to work with. Good finished product. If I had to list a negative, there was a tiny amount of overspray, which was easily removed. But that's being critical so you know this is a real review.
