Introduction

With over 35 years in business, serving the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, we have the experience to deliver the highest quality customer service and knowledge of all exterior natural wood restoration and maintenance. We work on decks, siding, fences, patio furniture and more. Our typical process includes cleaning the wood by power washing, and then staining it with a semi-transparent stain. We are fully bonded, insured and licensed. We don't take a dime of your money until the work is done and you're happy!

Q&A

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

The typical process includes a site visit to gather all the information necessary to provide you with our evaluation, recommendations & estimate. If you choose us to do the work, it takes approximately 2-3 days to complete a small to medium size job. You don't have to pay us until we finish the job and you're happy.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

All of our guys are highly trained to perform all work and have worked for us for more than 5 years.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

For two years during the summers between attending school Bruce, the owner, worked as a deck carpenter building high-end decks. He became a highly skilled deck builder and this is where he got the idea to start a deck preserving business. Since then, Bruce has combined his skills in the field of deck construction with the knowledge he has gained from observing what makes decks fall apart (for the last 30 years) to build one of the most well-rounded deck (and any exterior wood) preserving companies in existence.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We mostly work for residential customers, however we also work on commercial projects, for other contractors and real estate agents.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Whenever you hire a contractor it is in your best interest to make sure that they are licensed and insured and that all of their workers are actually employees. Check their recent work, read their reviews, and ask around etc. If you ever have any questions regarding restoring your exterior natural wooden surfaces, we are here to give you an honest advise, even if you don't hire us.
