San Jose Deck Waterproofing

The job took about as long as expected which is about 20% longer than quoted. But the job costs didn't increase any more than I expected (scope creep isn't the contractor's fault, it's the customers). The final product was a deck that was completely waterproof. I know this because there was 2 weeks of solid rain right after they put on the schluter waterproofing but before the slate. Not a drop went into the garage. Everything drained perfectly, and there were no "pools" on my deck. The deck looks great, and we are enjoying it. Thanks, John and team!

Was able to fit in the job quickly, since we were trying to get this done before the rains started. Power washed the deck and stairway, took the initiative to contact neighbors to clean up stray paint chips that landed in their backyards during power wash. Great work repairing and replacing some of the wood that was past its prime, beyond what I expected. Very nice job painting, smooth looking, all sealed. Nice clean up as well. Painter always very punctual, polite about being one's private space. Very professional.

nick was very efficient and extremely responsive. he even moved pots and tables off the deck and put them back when the decks had dried. our homeowners associstion hired him to paint our building about 5 years ago and again were very pleased with the results.

Our two-story stucco house in south Bernal Hights was last painted in 2000, and was looking rather drab. But, great pixels were not our main concern. Most importantly, we were looking to waterproof, as much as possible, our windows and stucco. We had five south-facing leaking windows that were of special concern. Out of three estimates, we chose McCartney Painting mainly because owner Kieron McCartney was the most keen and knowledgeable about techniques to secure the house against the elements. Elastomeric painting (8-mm thick coating, I recall), three-point sealing, and Sika Flex caulking between exterior wall and concrete intersections were some of his applied techniques appropriate to the needs of stucco. Also, McCartney offered a senior discount (proof positive we look our age) without our asking, making his quote the lowest bid. Another company did not offer elastomeric paints at all. The experience with McCartney Painting was very positive. Kieron surveyed our home within a week of bid request, submitted an estimate and contract the following week, and placed us into his busy schedule. Power washing, patching the many stucco cracks (some deep), caulking and sealing the windows and four door frames, the house painting itself, and the ironwork staining and painting all went smoothly and efficiently. His crew was very punctual, courteous, and helpful with trim paint recommendations. They cleaned up after work each day. Kieron, a calm person with which to work and collaborate, was very responsive to any concerns we brought up. The result looks great, and inspired some neighbors to also paint their houses. McCartney Painting is well worth your consideration.

Excellent! I would recommend Jim and his team without reservation. Integrity and quality at every step of the process.

We had been passively thinking about having our house painted, so when Wells Dunscombe knocked on our door one evening, my wife decided to at least give him a chance to provide a quote. When he came by a couple of days later, we were immediately impressed with how he presented himself and the training which he obviously had received. I was concerned that we were taking a little bit of a chance with Wells and his crew, but though out the entire process any and all of my fears were allayed by the excellent work that they did. From the planning process, to helping us pick colors, to the actual 4 days where the majority of the work occurred, everything went smoothly and without any issues. The quality of the work matches what we had done years ago by an local professional. Wells went the extra mile in making sure that the deck, which turned out to the the hardest part of the job, turned out to our satisfaction. I would recommend College Works to anyone and the work that Wells did particularly.

Jony, Abraham, and Norlin performed the work listened well. Experienced did a great job cleaned up after work done.

Everything occurred like clockwork, We were impressed with the painting crew, the lead helped me pick a great color for the Deck refinished. They did the shed first to give us an idea of the color palate. Everything was protected and the clean up was done nicely.

We used Envirotek annually to clean and refinish the deck when my wife owned a rental townhouse. I was pleased to see Envirotek pop up when searching for a contractor to power wash my house. Sammy's workers were very thorough and the paint looked like new when they finished.

The whole process took about 4 days since there was cleaning, and 3 coats to be done. The workers were on time, moved furniture off the deck, covered surfaces against overspray, cleaned up, generally were very professional. They worked about 4 half-days, with drying time each day and completed the job on time and according to estimate. I got 4 bids on the job before I hired Applied, and they were in the middle of the pack price-wise, which is why I didnt give them an A on price, however Neil the owner, who did the estimate himself, seemed to have the best understanding of the process involved, the materials needed, and had the most experience doing this exact kind of flat roof waterproofing job, so I hired them instead of a other contractors with a lower estimate. The roof looks great, and has a great looking durable coating that's very grippy underfoot. Overall it was exactly what I wanted, and I'm extremely pleased with Applied Waterproofing.
