I happened to see a Marsh Fence & Deck truck driving around town one day and decided to give them a…read moretry -- and I'm so glad I did! The entire process was incredibly easy from start to finish. I called and also submitted a request through their website, and someone quickly followed up to schedule an estimate. Stephen arrived right on time -- actually a little earlier than the scheduled window -- and the quoting process was straightforward. I received the estimate later that same day, and their pricing was very fair and significantly better than several other quotes I had received. I approved everything online, and shortly afterward they called to schedule the work within the next couple of weeks. What impressed me just as much as the pricing was their communication and attention to detail. We had literally finished painting the exterior of our house only 4 days before the fence work, so I reached out ahead of time and asked them to take extra care around the freshly painted stucco. They responded immediately, noted it on the job, and when the crew arrived, they already knew about my concern. That kind of communication between the office and field crew gave me a lot of confidence! The crew replaced 3 gates, repaired the top of another gate, and repaired a section of fencing, all in about 4 hours. The difference is incredible. The new gates feel heavy, sturdy, and very well built, and the hinges and latches are a huge upgrade from what we had before. One detail especially impressed me: they even adjusted the bottom of our front gate -- something that wasn't part of the original scope -- to give it better clearance from the ground. Now the gate opens much wider and makes it so much easier for us to move our recycling bins in and out. It was a small detail, but exactly the kind of thing that shows they weren't just checking boxes on a work order. They paid attention to how we actually use the gate and made it better. And yes -- my freshly painted wall came through completely intact. No scratches, chips, or damage whatsoever. From the initial estimate to scheduling, communication, workmanship, and those thoughtful finishing touches, I had a great experience with Marsh Fence & Deck. The finished product looks so much better, and everything feels solid and built to last. I can't wait for them to come out again in a couple of weeks and paint/stain the new gates and fence! Thank you to Stephen, the crew, and the entire Marsh team. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them!

Definitely a good value and I would highly recommend Jay and his team!

Some were more complex (e.g. the installation of a shower kit to convert our clawfoot tub to a shower and the construction of a storage space below our house). Some of the projects were simpler (e.g. replacing old electrical outlets, hanging artwork, replacing doorknobs, installing hooks/shelves). Osvaldo and his crew did all of our projects, large and small, with impeccable craftsmanship! The process started with an onsite walkthrough of our projects. Osvaldo gave us a detailed estimate and was communicative throughout. The day of our project work, the crew came early and ready to work. They were very careful to prep the work areas to protect our home. They worked efficiently and came back the next day to ensure everything was perfect with finishing touches. Osvaldo and team went above and beyond -- laying concrete to even out our storage space floor and adding vents. Osvaldo even sent a cleaning crew to clean our house after the project. Just a fantastic overall experience! Thank you, Osvaldo!

I recently brought in several companies to bid on a deck project at my home. One of them thought I…read moreneeded to tear down the entire existing deck along with the foundation. Another one wanted to tear down the existing deck and make repairs to the foundation as needed. Carlos, on the other hand, felt that most of my existing wood was ok and suggested that we just replace pieces as needed, and also make repairs to the foundation as needed. His approach seemed reasonable to me and much more cost effective. I also told him I had a very tight timeline because I needed to have the deck ready for an upcoming party. Carlos and he team started right away and with minimal input needed from me throughout the project, it was completed very quickly - on time and on budget. I'd alway recommend that people check with several companies before selecting a vendor, but if you are looking to repair or replace your deck, make sure your first call is to Carlos at Total Wood Preservation!

From the beginning, Giovanni was very good about communicating the process he recommended based on the state of our siding and was responsive through the end of the project. Their team sanded and stained all of the cedar at a fair price. And unlike other companies, they didn't pressure me to get the cedar restained more frequently than needed. If I had one minor suggestion, it would be to ask the staff to be careful around my plants, but honestly I would rate the job 9.9/10. When the color didn't turn out how I expected, the owner wrote me a long explanation for why he used a particular stain and the issues with my old stain. I really appreciated the explanation and that his team did a more labor intensive process (sanding all of the cedar siding) than other quotes I received. Several months later, they also went out of their way to get back to me on the stain they used because I want to stain my gates the same color. When the time comes again to restain our cedar, I'll definitely be giving Giovanni and Richard a call. Their customer service is top notch!
