- Baltic ConstructionWorking with Baltic has been a pleasure! A true professional company with extremely skilled employees!
- Precision Built ConstructionExcellent work. He kept me informed on the status. Showed up consistently when he said, and updated me when he wasn't going to be there.
- System PaversThe team at System Pavers Fremont were excellent . Beginning with Beth who came out and measured everything and showed us our options. She was informative and low key and developed a plan we loved . The project manager Adrian O’Donoghue was attentive, helpful and went out of his way to ensure we were happy with everything every step of the way. We wanted to make a few minor changes (a longer curve in the sitting wall and a “walk through” along the wall plus adding some steps ) during the project. The changes were at a reasonable cost and done without an issue. Adrian sent us daily photos, videos and updates when we were out of town during some of the project. The project was completed early. Also a thank you to the on-site foreman Gerber who worked closely with our contractor to ensure that the work System Pavers did would complement the work our contractor was doing to the house. Thank you Adrian, Beth and Gerber for a project we will enjoy for a lifetime . Thank you System Pavers Michael and Eva
- Highland LandscapeI just cannot say enough in praise of Highland Landscaping. I have done many projects in my lifetime, and I was a contractor before retirement, so I know how things typically go. I don't think I've ever seen a job go as well. The owner, Lee, along with his crew member Manuel, impress me in so many ways. When Lee first bid the job, he had lots of great ideas not just about the overall design and work, but also ways to save me money. He did not take a deposit up front, and only a small one when the job started. From there he billed based on the completed portion of the job and never came back for more money when complications came out of the blue for him. About the schedule, Lee said they would be there every day until the job was done, and he was right. They arrived on time daily and never left a mess. It is said that any construction process is painful for the owner, but that if a job is well done the pain quickly fades. With Highland landscaping, there is no pain in the first place. I've added so many parts to the original job, and will keep doing so. Angi, thanks for introducing me to Highland Landscaping
- C.A LandscapingCarlos did a fantastic job! He is very knowledgable and can do any landscaping project that you have in mind. Also, he'll give you suggestions about what he thinks might make the job look even better. I took all of his advice and the project turned out beautifully. I highly recommend him for any landscaping project
- Natural Vibrations IncGreat! Kris and Aaron run a great operation. They stand behind their projects and take pride in their work, Kris doesn't take shortcuts and tends to build so things last. They are a pleasure to work with.
- Live Oak General Builder incTwo decks were built on time and on budget. Very pleased with the work. Looking forward to working with them again.
- Javier FloresI am writing this review on behalf of Javier Flores I engaged Javier Flores to build a deck in my back yard. I could not be happier with the job he did. Javier and his brother Daniel arrived promptly at 8:00 a.m. each day and worked hard all day, with the exception of lunch. The two of them work together very well. When they finished the deck, I told them that I would sweep off the saw dust, but Javier wouldn’t let me sweep the deck, He told me I am paying him to perform that duty. Javier and Daniel are experienced hardworking men who value precision, and pay attention to the littlest of details. Our new deck is as stiff as concrete, no sags, no squeaks at all. I am so happy with the deck, that I am going to have them install the deck railing also. I would gladly recommend Javier to anyone that needs a deck. Henry & Mary Anne Pric
- Natural Vibrations IncNot the cheapest and the work reflects that - quality, design and responsiveness. We've been pleased with each of the numerous jobs we've had done. We would hire them again for the next.
- ShamusShamus has helped me keep my cabin in good working order. He is responsible, prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. He thinks in a 'big-picture' way, meaning he's a problem-solver. Shamus has helped me numerous times which is great since I live far away from my cabin. I completely trust and appreciate him, and will continue to maintain a connection with him, both professionally as well as personally

"I really enjoyed working with Jorge Perretti and his expert crew. My 40x20 patio has been completely transformed. Perretti specializes in decks and he really knows what he is doing. I like Jorge's business model because he specializes in one thing, keeps the quality extremely high and only has two jobs on at a time. He was often on site supervising and helping out.
<br /> Liquid amber tree roots had destroyed my patio. I had Kelly Stump removal come twice, but Perretti still had to deal with the roots while digging the holes for the concrete piers.
<br /> I had a 48 inch drop from my sliding glass door to the neighbor fence, so Perretti first constructed a 30 foot retaining wall to bring the grade up 24 inches. 10 Concrete piers had to be poured to support the frame. The deck was built up to the same level as my sliding glass door for the outdoor living room effect. The setback area was left at the new grade level.
<br /> For this project, my HOA required all necessary permits. Because the proposed deck was larger than 200 square feet a permit was required. Jorge was willing to work with the City of Palo Alto Planning Dept where 4-5 other contractors either outright refused to work with CofPA or added more cost than Jorge did. I really appreciate Jorge's efforts because the City of Palo Alto didn't have its act together and kept changing their story when it came to how much setback was required. Jorge hung in there, stayed calm and made it happen despite the fact that CofPA wasted his time and his crew's time.
<br /> The cost was reasonable. I added some extras like high end composite, picture framing and redwood privacy lattice.
<br /> When issues came up Jorge had good solutions for them. On a couple of items I wanted things done differently and he was easy to work with.
<br /> The quality of workmanship is extremely high. The job required three inspections - one for the concrete piers, one for the framing and one for the completed deck. I was present for the first one. The city inspector said that the work looked great and that it was his easiest inspection all day with no followup required. Again, the City of Palo Alto wasted Jorge's time because their online inspection scheduling system didn't work properly and Jorge and his crew wasted an entire morning waiting for them to show up. As far as workmanship is concerned I can find no flaw whatsoever and the deck looks beautiful.
<br /> On completion, Jorge and his crew cleaned up really well. I've gotten a lot of compliments on my new deck from friends and neighbors and I love spending time out there now. I recommend Jorge Perretti very highly.

Join Angi nowWhat are some common services performed by decking builders?
Whether the goal is to extend your home's current deck for added functionality or bolster curb appeal with a brand new porch, a porch and deck installer in San Mateo can assist. Discover more about some of the services decking builders provide below.
Building and installing
Builders can talk with you about your wishes for a new patio, porch, or deck. They also visit your space to see what is possible and offer suggestions. After that, they start designing and installing structures that tick as many boxes on your list as possible. This can include:
- A simple porch or deck
- A luxurious backyard structure that surrounds a pool
- A front porch for a welcoming look
- A new side porch or screened-in porch for added outdoor seating
- A new patio constructed from brick, concrete, or other types of material
Updating an existing patio or deck
Installers can also extend the deck or porch you already have, crafting more usable space or adding a level. They might do enhancements, such as new railings, fire pits, or brick ovens.
Making repairs
Lastly, most deck and porch builders do repair work. This can include replacing broken boards, fixing steps, and painting or staining a porch.
Top things to think about when selecting a great area deck contractor
Before you enjoy the sun's rays or cool shade on your gorgeous state-of-the-art porch, someone has to design it. Choosing the right community deck company makes a big difference, so take the time to get answers to the questions below. This will help you to narrow your possibilities to find the perfect local deck professional in San Mateo for your work.
Insurance and licensing should come first. Guarantee the business you select is properly licensed for this kind of work in your area. Legal requirements vary by area and also county or city, so call your regional licensing board to answer any questions.
Next, ask potential contractors if they're insured. It's a good idea to only hire insured companies, regardless of your job. Insurance helps ensure both of you are covered throughout the project.
Then, learn more about the professional's experience. Ask whether they've ever completed a job like yours. Also, ask for a portfolio and references. Ensure the contractor you choose has successfully completed a deck or porch project that has the style and scale of yours.
Does the porch contractor have the correct licenses?
Credentials are necessary in many areas for certain types of jobs.
Is the contractor insured?
Insurance is always vital. When they're insured, it helps cover you, too.
What training does the professional have?
Experienced pros are better able to take on challenging jobs. They've also honed their processes through decades of constructing decks, which ensures the project moves more efficiently and helps ensure projects are performed on time and within budget.
Has contractor performed jobs like yours?
Look for contractors who have worked on jobs with a similar scope and style as yours. Someone who has only worked on small front decks probably isn't the right choice for an fancy pool deck with an outdoor kitchen.
Is the company reputable?
Research the business to make sure it’s known for providing great service and outcomes.
