Get matched with top deck staining pros in Atherton, CA

"WOW.
I thought my 30 year old redwood deck wasn't salvageable, but Rupert convinced me to do so.  He was very prompt & reliable & knowledgeable and everything went as planned.    A real pleasure to work with, especially if you prefer texting over e-mails!!
I thought it was going to need replacement, a cost of $20,000 using a wood/plastic composite.  I am glad I didn't spend all that money- I would have had a plastic deck (Trex )that would scratch/warp/stain/turn to plastic-dust ( according to reviews at http://www.consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/trex_composite_decking.html) 
Instead, I have a sturdy splinter free redwood deck and $18,000 still in my pocket.  Environmentally I saved as well, by 'fixing & reusing rather than buying/manufacturing plastics that would end up un-decomposed in a landfill one day.
If you want a facelift on your old deck- Summit Deck Doctors is the way to go.
If you think your deck is dying and needs to be buried & replaced, don't do so without asking Summit Deck Doctors to resuscitate it.

"Julio was punctual very professional and did a beautiful job of sanding and refinishing our deck. We had painted our deck with a thick paint which turned out to be a real mess. Thanks to Julio's sanding and refinishing we have a great new redwood deck. I am pleased and totally impressed with Julio's work he used an active vacuum to capture all the sanding dust which keep our yard and furniture very clean. I recommend Julio without any reservation he is a true profession craftsman."

"They started each day at 8:00 AM and worked until 5:00 or later. They were very polite and professional. The lead person George would explain what they would be doing each day and then perform the tasks. The deck looks like it is brand new and the redwood has the original color and grain. Note: the bill included 4 hours of setting the deck screws so they could sand. Otherwise they performed to the bid."

"George and his team did a great job painting the interior of our home. He had no problem using my paint brand of choice (a not as common brand). I appreciated how communicative he was and how responsive to my questions he was. The work was quality, the pricing was very reasonable, and I trusted George and his team. I would recommend A+ paintings to others and use them again, myself."

"Julio and his team have done a wonderful job for our exterior painting and deck painting. He is very workable and approachable. I am very pleased about their work and will definitely hire them again for the interior painting."

"Fantastic, A great pleasure to have Rolando and his team do such a fine job. on time, quiet, through, and clean I will recommend Rolando and his company, Blue Custom Painting, Inc. , to my friends Dolores Moffat, Dublin, CA"

"Needed my deck sealed after a year of curing. Quote was high, but I decided it was worth it. Lots of positive reviews. Had some water marks from pots on the deck. After the first brightening there were still watermarks. I sent Bruce pictures and asked that the guys coming to seal make sure the watermarks were taken care of. He told me to point out the spots and they would take care of it. When the sealers came, I pointed out the marks and asked that they make sure they were taken care of before the sealing. They told me that the water marks were the result of leaving pots on the deck...duh. Obviously this is what happened, but was why I was paying Cal Preserving to take care of it. I don't appreciate having to convince my contractors I want something done the right way. I ended up calling Bruce and explaining that I felt like this was being done in a rush, but he assured me his team was professional and that it would get done properly. Placated, I decided to trust it would be OK, despite the static. That was my first mistake. After they were done sealing they asked for the check (before it had a chance to dry and for me to inspect the work). I told Bruce I didn't feel comfortable with this (over the phone), but he reassured me that they weren't that kind of company and any mistakes or issues would be taken care of. I gave the sealers the check. Mistake number 2. The next day I inspected the work to find huge sections of the hand rail completely unsealed and with power-washer damage. Also the water marks were still there and now sealed in. I took pictures and sent them to Bruce. He came out and we discussed the issues. He was nice and told me not to worry and that his guys would take care of it. Another iteration and the handrail was fixed, but the watermarks are still there. At this point I feel like I didn't get the full value of what I paid, and the hassle I went through to get to where I am now, which is barely passable should be avoided by others so I am writing this review. I don't mind paying premium prices, but when I do, I expect premium work. And if I find something wrong with the work, I expect it to be fixed without contention. The fact is I feel like the job was rushed, and I was pressured into paying early. I am a relatively new homeowner and this whole experience has just been a lesson learned. If the watermarks were taken care of, and the rail done right the first time, and nobody gave me static, I would be rating Cal Preserving with five stars. Take warning!"

"I was very concerned about my house cabinet painting project. They started the day the bomb cyclone hit in Northern California. But to my surprise they were able to put their paint shed up with no issues, and everything on the project went extremely smoothly. They were very diligent about their cleanup everyday and made sure that any questions I had were promptly answered. I will definitely hire them again if I have another painting project and I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking."

"The job was to remove a stump by hand in a restricted space. Genaro arrived on time and performed work in a surprisingly short time. Preserved and reinstalled the decomposed granite that surrounded the stump after adding fill dirt to make the area level. Excellent work."

"Detail Pro Painters were quite good and very detailed."
