"I can't say enough good things about this company. Robert and Tim went above and beyond for me. I had my large deck power washed and stained. the first time with professionals. they came on time and completed the job in the specified time. I will certainly use this company again, and recommend them to others."
"I wish all categories of home improvement could have a company such as Pro Builder from Garfield. Our wooden deck was in dire need of help. It was not an easy task because the deck is approximately 20 feet above ground level from the garden area. Through the expertise, knowledge, and commitment from this company, the project was finished on schedule. Our new composite deck looks outstanding!"
"I used New Gen Construction to replace the decking and 3 support posts used to support the front porch roof. Robert said he would be here between 1 and 2 on the day to provide an estimate and was there at 1. He started on the day as promised and completed the job in a timely manor. He and his team were great in removing the old material and did a great job overall. Very pleased with the outcome ."
"Tim and Stiljan came by and redid our deck due to how rotten it was. They did an amazing job my deck came out amazing and will definitely use them again. They have the best work and price in the business!"
"We have had Cesar for many projects over the last 10 years. Bathrooms, bedrooms , roof, deck, shingle replacement, interior and exterior painting. I wouldn't use anyone else for my major and minor home repair."
"Miguel and his team of contractors were responsive, prompt and professional for the multiple jobs I required. My project entailed repainting two large rooms, installing an audio soundbar with wires snaked behind wall, fixing two closet doors, installing blinds and curtains, patching up a small hole in our wall and touching up paint in two other rooms. They accomplished this in one day, no questions asked, at the quoted rate with no upcharge to the estimate. They also vacuumed when finished and cleaned up very well. When they were packing up to leave after working 12 hours, there was an issue with my cable television - no service. They stayed with me while I was on the line with Comcast to ensure my cable TV was working properly. Turned out it was an issue with Comcast's service and my cable box needed a complete reboot. Point is, they cared and were willing to stay late to ensure everything was working properly. From my experience, the level of service and customer care is second to none. Miguel's attention to detail, cleanliness, price and professionalism cannot be overlooked. After dealing with quite a few contractors in the past who were expensive, late, lethargic, unresponsive and unprofessional I will now call M.A.S for all of my general contracting/painting needs: both large and small."
"Highly recommended! Rafael was responsive, professional, flexible, and creative in finding solutions. He and his skilled crew were able to complete a series of masonry and carpentry projects in a timely manner. It was a pleasure to work with him."
I pride myself on my professionalism, as well as my ability to complete every job to the homeowner's total satisfaction. I never leave a job unfinished, or a homeowner not 100% satisfied with my level of service - Call today!

PVC decking might be long-lasting, but this synthetic material lacks the natural aesthetic or sustainability of wood decking. If you want to match your decking to your new garden furniture or just freshen up the faded surface, it’s not usually possible to paint PVC decking. When comparing PVC to composite decking, PVC is pricier and more prone to warping in hot regions.
Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.
The best time to paint your deck is when temperatures are neither too cold (below 60 degrees) nor too hot (above 85 degrees). Always paint your deck when there’s no risk of rain. For fast-drying paint like acrylic or latex, ensure your deck can dry for at least four hours. Oil-based paints take longer to dry and may require 48 hours to completely cure.
