DESCRIPTION OF WORK
We needed to repair our 20 year old deck. It was built around a very large ash tree. The tree was removed years ago, so we had to have the stump removed which left a 6 by 8 hole in the deck. Rupert, the owner, responded quickly and came over to give us a proposal. We wanted to repair what we had, not get a whole new deck. His price was very fair, so we hired him.

A pleasure working with you! Yes, certainly not an easy job. Many of our jobs are a mix of carpentry and refinishing, and this was no exception. Glad we were able to fill in the part of the deck that had been removed when they took out the tree, and level the rest (as best as we could, given the warpage from many years). The deck stain we used was carefully chosen from one of our custom colors to ...RATED

Many thanks! We used a deck stain that was semitransparent and of a custom color so that the deck would be a very similar color to the handrails which still had plenty of stain on them. Glad it looked so good! Thanks again for the work! Rupert.RATED

You will be proud to know yours was the last deck staining of 2015. In fact we have never before stained a deck that late in the year (normally the deck staining season ends at Halloween); have to love the weather staying dry so long in the year. I am glad you liked the color we offered you - a custom color called "Rupert's Redwood" that is a redwood color with a touch less red and a touch more br...RATED

Yup, amazing what a bit of TLC can do! We often are called up with the potential client asking us to replace their deck, but we can often show them how to patch things up for a tenth of the price and make it last for another decade. Try us out!RATED

Many thanks for the lovely review! A pleasure working for you and your husband in such a beautiful locale. Good color choice. Don't forget to make sure the gutters are cleaned out before El Nino: gutters overflowing leads to water cascading onto decks and eventually working its way through the deck stain to expose the boards underneath.RATED

We were able to slot your project in between other jobs in order to meet the tight deadline of your daughter having a reception on the deck. Normally we can start within 10 days of signing and have the job done in 3 days or so afterwards. One thing clients like is that we are a "deck maintenance machine" - we start when we say we will, the team work on your job every day until the job is done, and...RATED

Glad you liked the quality; we put in a lot of effort to get it just right, the way you wanted it. Yours was a relatively smaller deck. Small decks inevitably cost more per square foot than larger decks, as all the costs of client liaison, client briefing, and logistics have to be borne, whatever the size of the deck. Appreciate the work.RATED

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Carefully removed all existing redwood deck boards from about 50% of my deck (per my request), removed all rotting/deteriorated old support structure, installed new pressure treated support structure and properly interfaced it with the existing section of the deck not being rebuilt, re-secured the still-good old deck boards and added necessary new redwood deck boards to complete the rebuild of that portion of my deck.

Happy we could save you so much money. Must of our deck repair work is delaying the evil day when the deck needs to be replaced. If you can keep it safe and looking good for another 10-15 years at a fraction of the cost, well, why wouldn't you?! Very cost-effective, no permits needed (in general) and little disruption to your life. Thanks again for the kind review.We offer three services: 1. DECK REFINISHING: We carefully pressure-wash, scrub on fungicide and wood brightener, meticulously brush stain onto deck surfaces using a thousand-bristle brush, and spray handrails for a consistent finish. 2. DECK REPAIRS: Unlike painters, we can conveniently take care of pesky deck repairs like replacing boards. 3. DECK BUILD: if it’s less than 7 feet off the ground, we can do it!
a. We don't build or do heavy repair work on decks more than 7 ft off ground (too difficult to hold up beams for our team). b. We don't offer metacrylic or membrane flat roof deck coverings (much too difficult and messy). c. We don't stain shingles. d. We don't do build or repair tile decks or stone patios. e. We will happily finish fences but we don't build them.
