Nearby Deck Staining in San Francisco

They were able to deliver the job. There was a slight problem on the second day because they had an emergency but they informed us about it. They came back the following day and finished the job on time. They are very professional and will definitely recommend their service.

Rupert and his crew were on time, courteous, and efficient, and did a great job. He kept me posted on progress and I didn't have to worry about the project at all.

Robert Jasso and his crew did an amazing job of painting our over 100 year-old Victorian. The paint job is nothing less than stunning. Robert was always the consummate professional. I am delighted to recommend Robert for future paint jobs.

Process was very smooth. Ryan was (and is) a pleasure to work with. Very upfront with all relevant details. Communicated clearly throughout the entire process. His team is very professional and helpful. There were a few minor touch ups and fixes were applied with no issue. Ryan is someone who stands by the quality of his work. I would definitely work with him again.

Dave and the crew from Pacific Coast Painting did a great job repainting the exterior and re-staining the decks of our house in Pacifica. Dave's bid was the most comprehensive and very competitive. With coastal Summer fog, work didn't start until mid-September (as Dave had warned me in March!): scaffolding went up 9/13 and work was completed on 10/2. Painting is all about the prep work -- Dave knows it and his guys spent a lot of time and effort scraping and power washing and thoroughly caulking around all windows and joints before the primer coat went on. They replaced T-111 and window trim as needed and repaired dry rot where they found it. Shout out to Dell for great work! We have some areas prone to leaks and Dave spent extra time working on those. When the rains come, I know I can call him if there are any leaks. The house and decks look great and I know the house is well protected against the coming Winter storms.

Kelly provided excellent customer service. We had issues with the paint color we chose and he stepped in and handled everything. The crew was great! Highly recommend House Doctor painting! A+.

We had a new, high-quality redwood fence installed in our back yard and decided we wanted it stained versus being left as redwood. The goal was to have it blend more into the surroundings and help enlarge the feeling our small city yard. Looking through Angie’s List and other online services sites we narrowed down our choices to a few contractors. After meeting with Robert, understanding his appreciation for detail and his knowledge we chose him for staining our fence. Instead of blindly doing whatever we said, Robert explained the tradeoffs of our options and we mutually worked together on the best option. As a result we have a nicely Deep Forest Green fence that makes our backyard look wonderful! Further he made the right choices of materials for our deck and metal spindles while others would have not have paid attention to that detail and used the same stain. Robert and his team paid attention to our neighbor’s constraints, were quiet and communicated promptly by phone & email. Also, Robert was nice enough to do some touch-up work in the front of the house for no extra charge. We are looking forward to working with Robert again in the future!

Rupert is a true pro. He was 100% clear on pricing and took the time to explore different staining options. He even saved me money by recommending I don't replace all rotten planks, only the really bad ones. Always punctual and excellent fast job. A pleasure to do business with. Always cheerful!

Aside from having them fully paint the interior of our home, I had Fine Point Painting perform exterior painting. Bill guided us towards the right color scheme to paint our house. They, scraped, sanded, patched, spot primed, caulked and elastomeric patched all the cracks. Once again, they did a fantastic job on the exterior as well as the interior.

Fantasic! Jesus did excellent work, especially on the fence, was very reliable and responsive in keeping me posted on the job progress and when he would be working, and the price was very fair. Also, he did not try to oversell on a job that was primarily for appearance. Would (and will) hire Jesus again without hesitation!

The fences and gates are fine-no problem. They pressure washed them and stained them. They only missed 2 planks of wood-not much of an eye sore. The deck is leveled with small scraps of wood stacked on top each other over the pier blocks. I hope it will maintain stability. So far, 3 weeks later it is still level. I am no contractor, and maybe this is standard procedure. It just seems kind of jerry-built. After the deck was stained, multiple large shiny pink blemishes from the old solid stain remain and are eye-sores. There are also a lot of black tannin streaks. I wish they would have taken the time to prime the wood before staining it. The stairs were not properly sanded, resulting in large scratches with black, red, and brown streaks. They look terrible. They had a somewhat dull red stain before the job, but I could have lived with that. I cannot stand to look at the stairs anymore. I reached out multiple times, asking them to address my concern, but the owner ignored me. After I sent pictures, he sent his wife to talk to me. I wanted to give them a chance to make things right, but I discovered the owner's wife also had little integrity.

The quality of the work was excellent. The work crew members were friendly, dependable, and conscientious. Overall, we were very satisfied. Cost was reasonable.

Rick and his assistant completed the work in good time, on a time and materials basis, at a reasonable price. They were very accommodating in regard to matching colors and finishes.

The CertaPro painters (Foster City) did a great job. The preparation and the painting was very professional-looking. The project cost was one of our lowest estimates. The head painter, Jose, was very dedicated to doing a careful and complete job. He also did a beautiful job painting our front door giving it a stained look using paints without the much higher cost of actually applying a stain. (He also helped me color-match and buy some deck stain for a small deck which I will paint.) After the painting started, there was a contract interpretation issue as to exactly what was to be done. We also wanted to request switching some excluded and included items without affecting the total cost. I contacted the home office, and the supervisor (John) came out and immediately resolved these to our satisfaction. (his wife had just given birth two days before - yet he still made time to make sure we were happy with our paint project).

I was very pleased with the entire process. Rupert was very flexible in meeting me when my schedule was open. I was prepared ahead of time to tell him exactly what I was looking to do so the initial process didn't take very long. Rupert was extremely thorough in his estimate. He had the exact scope that we discussed on the estimate with drawings of the individual elements. He explained the terms and conditions in great detail and left me with the estimate to decide if I wanted to proceed. We decided to proceed with the project and Rupert kept in touch with the scheduling. We had to work around some inclement weather but the project finally got underway after a delay of about 10 days. Things proceeded quickly once the project got started. The carpenter did amazing work in some pretty difficult areas and did a fantastic job on the bench. He is truly very, very good. After the deck renovation was complete the pressure washing, staining took place a few days later. Once again I was very please with the results. The old deck materials look much better than they did previously and the new additions look very good. I would recommend Summit Deck Doctor for any deck repair or staining project.

I looked up deck maintenance on Angie's List, and from there visited the web sites of several contractors. When I called Rupert, he was very responsive. One thing I really appreciated was that he asked me to describe my decks and their approximate size, and gave me a "ballpark" estimate of what it would cost to clean and stain my decks. This gave me confidence that he was customer oriented ... if the ballpark estimate was not in my price range, we could discuss alternatives. Rupert came out within a few days, at my convenience, did precise measurements, and gave me a detailed estimate that turned out to be very close to the original ballpark estimate. He went over various types of stain and colors, discussed the pros and cons, and recommended a few that he thought would match very well to my house color and landscaping. We picked a semi-opaque stain that had a redwood hue, with good UV value because my decks had southern exposure and would get a lot of sun. He also advised me up front that the particular stain would take well to future maintenance efficiency, and why. Clearly thinking ahead several years. He went over in great detail the cleaning and staining process, and what I should and should not expect. Within a few days, Mike arrived and did the cleaning and brightening. Just that step made the decks, which were 10+ years old, look close to being new wood. The cleaning process left absolutely no residue or dirt on my landscaping, patio or home. After the wood dried, Mike returned and did the staining. He took great care to explain the process, and again, not a drop of stain ended up anywhere but on the decks. And how great they look. I purposefully waited a few months to write the review to see how the decks would weather, and I can say they both still look magnificent. All my backyard neighbors have commented on how beautiful the house looks with the newly stained decks. After the staining was completed, Rupert returned to confirm with me my satisfaction with the job. He took a few pictures, but I have not yet seen them on his website. If I see a photo in the future, I will return to this site to add the photo. Again, thanks to Rupert and Mike.
