Get matched with top deck pros in South San Francisco, CA

"A job well done to correct issues with my new deck!"

"Cal Preserving did a great job on our very difficult to install Ipe (Brazilian Walnut) deck. I would definitely use them again."

"Worked with Andrew - he was quick to communicate, included all necessary details, and kept in touch. He and his crew (Alex and Andre) showed up on time and had the whole deck demolished and cleaned up in only 2 hours. Would definitely work with him again."

"So impressed with New Generation. They painted the full exterior of our house and several interior rooms. The quality of work was excellent. They were on-time, and highly efficient. Communication was exemplary from the initial quote, signing the contract, to billing. There is no question we would hire Ivan and his team again. Cannot recommend them highly enough"

"Our new deck is stunning solid construction, great design, and exactly what we envisioned. The crew showed up on time and worked through some tricky layout challenges with ease. We’ve already had two BBQs out there!"

"EXCELLENT JOB! They built me a composite deck at a very reasonable price and I'm very happy with it. Thank you!"

"Mr. Arnesen and his helper did a terrific job reinforcing my back steps and deck. I highly recommend him and will use him for any future work I need to do on my house. He is trustworthy, highly competent and fairly priced."

"We recently had Golden State Builders Group install a new deck using Trex, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, their team was professional, communicative, and highly skilled."

"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."

"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!"
