Teak furniture and fence stain.
Deborah E.

I wish I could give 10 stars. Henry and his crew were one of the best contractors I've ever engaged. Outstanding work, good value, great customer service. They did such a great job staining my fence that I had them refurbish all my teak furniture. Look no further, you found the right team for your staining needs!

These guys did a great job building my deck.It wasnt a normal deck. It was 500 sqft wide and at 10ft elevation. Henry and team were meticulous in tearing down the old deck and building the new one as per specification. They kept me informed all along the process and took care of all the inspections till the final permit approval(PS I had to get the permit on my own). They were quick and completed the entire project within a month. Along with the main deck project they also did the staining and my sidewalk. They were pretty reasonable. Id definitely recommend them.

Close up of step

We had HG Staining build a small composite deck. Henry and Maria were responsive, professional and extremely easy to work with. The work was done quickly, on-budget, and well, and we are extremely happy with the results. This is a personal preference but other places we contacted overcommunicated with lots of messages making, confirming, and soliciting feedback for estimate appointments. We prefer simpler, direct communication and Maria and Henry did exactly that.

We recently had our outdoor redwood decks refinished by HG Staining, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, HG Staining demonstrated remarkable expertise and professionalism. The initial consultation was thorough and informative, with Henry and his wife Maria, taking the time to explain the process, answer all of our questions, and provide a detailed estimate. His knowledge of redwood and the appropriate refinishing techniques was evident, which immediately instilled confidence in his ability to handle the job. Throughout the project, HG Staining displayed impeccable attention to detail. He meticulously prepared the decks, ensuring all surfaces were properly sanded and cleaned before applying the finish. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, and the final result exceeded our expectations. The decks now look stunning, with a beautiful, rich finish that enhances the natural beauty of the redwood. Communication was seamless throughout the project. Both Henry and Maria kept us informed of progress, adhered to the agreed-upon timeline, and was always punctual. The prep work and the details of covering our windows and furniture etc. so they wouldn't get dusty was amazing! His dedication to delivering high-quality results was evident in every aspect of his work. In addition to his technical skills, HG Staining was a pleasure to work with. He and his team were courteous, respectful of our property, and left the work area clean and tidy at the end of each day. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the service provided by HG Staining. If you are looking for a skilled and reliable professional to refinish your outdoor decks, we highly recommend them. Their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.*** Side note, we are Realtor's and we are called upon to give recommendations to both neighbors and client's. Hands down this is our newest and best vendor for refinishing of decking.

Great work on restoring my decks & fences. The team was fast & efficient. Pricing was good & scheduling was easy. I will for sure work with them again & recommend to others. Check out my before & after pictures. Very happy!

We stained our fence as a DIY project, but it started to peel. HG Staining removed the old stain and made the fence look better than new. I was thrilled with the results.

All done

Hg staining did a great job for a fair price, and they were really fast. They cleaned, sanded, and stained my deck and some benches that would have taken me forever. Very happy with the results. The crew was very prompt and cleaned up after themselves well.

New custom back deck

Henry and his team stained our front gate, painted our front deck and built us a new back deck. They did an amazing job. Great attention to detail and beautiful craftsmanship! So happy with the outcome and would highly recommend them.

Multi level backyard deck. Just as FYI, the bench and little path i. The front of the deck were already in place.
Raf P.

The redwood roots were breaking up our backyard deck so we had to demolish it. After reaching out to the team at HG Staining they came over to look at our place, listen to what we wanted and came up with some suggestions, a quote and timeline of the project. Besides the professionalism and timely completion of the project they were also very good in communicating all throughout the project. Maria and Henry are great people to work with and we would recommend them highly.

Before!

This was not my first time working with Leo and his team -- I've partnered with them several times over the past ten years at different properties, and they continue to exceed my expectations. Leo promptly returned my initial call and scheduled a site visit within just a few days. Shortly after, he provided a detailed quote, and we arranged the project timeline around his understandably busy schedule. When rain interfered with our original installation date, Leo was quick to coordinate a new date as soon as the weather cooperated. On installation day, Leo and his crew arrived on time and fully prepared. The team was outstanding -- communicative, professional, and respectful of the property throughout the entire process. At the end of each workday, the site was left clean and tidy. The project took nearly three days to complete, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. It was truly a pleasure working with Leo and his team once again. I would not hesitate to contact HH Fence and Deck Company for future projects and confidently recommend them to anyone seeking quality craftsmanship and dependable service.

Final results are beautiful, quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Very happy with all the work they did in the back of the house so we hired them to do additional work to the front of our house and replaced all wood with PVC product and all handrails and banisters with metal. They look absolutely gorgeous. I found their communication software very user friendly. Payment process was disclaimed at front based on milestones. Of course there's always glitches in the process and it wouldn't be fair to leave a review without mentioning them. 1- working to get architecture and engineering completed took a few months. 2- a significant surprising unsightly design change was not disclosed. There were additional costs to cover it up. 3- designer renderings showed all wood posts and joist in black paint but this was not included in the original cost, this was another significant cost increase. 4- all decks were to have lights on all railings, that was on the original contract. However, we were told later that the cost of an electrician was not included in our contract. This was yet another cost surprise. Overall, I am very pleased with everything as they addressed every single item that needed to be addressed and it looks beautiful. I will definitely hire them again, but just make sure to ask all posible questions no matter how silly to ensure that everything is included in that upfront quote and there are no surprises.

It was beyond impressive.

And look -- that could have gone sideways real fast. Like, real fast. It didn't. Thank God. Here's the thing about this crew -- and I mean every single person who showed up -- they were just genuinely friendly. Not "we want your money" friendly. Actually friendly. The kind where you don't mind them being at your house for weeks. And on top of being friendly, they actually knew what they were talking about. I asked a lot of questions. Probably too many. Nobody fumbled. Nobody gave me the blank stare. Nobody redirected me to someone else. Just straight, confident answers from people who clearly know their craft. That goes for the construction crew, the painters, and the membrane repair team. All of them. Damn consistent across the board. Now -- I'll be real with you. Their quote came in a little higher than some of the other estimates we were getting. And yeah, I side-eyed it a little at first. But here's the thing -- the other quotes were coming from general contractors. And with something like this, I didn't want a generalist. I wanted a team that actually specializes in this kind of work. And that's exactly what I got. So honestly, the higher quote made complete sense once I thought about it. You're not paying more for the same thing -- you're paying for people who actually know what the hell they're doing at a deeper level than your average contractor. And as the project grew from a partial repair into a full deck reconstruction -- which, by the way, nobody saw coming -- the cost didn't blow up the way you'd expect it to. It stayed fair. It stayed honest. Nobody tried to squeeze extra money out of a situation that was growing by the week. When you zoom out and look at the whole picture, it's a no-brainer. You get what you pay for. And I couldn't be happier. Sammy and John were on it the whole time. Responsive, communicative, never left me hanging. And even after the project wrapped up and I came back with follow-up questions -- because I definitely did -- they were still right there. Patient, thorough, zero attitude. I had a lot of anxiety going into something this big, and somehow between Sammy's leadership and John keeping everything moving in the right direction, that anxiety just kind of... dissolved. Which, if you know me, is not easy to do. These guys just get it. Oh, and they cleaned up after themselves. Every single damn day. No nails. No debris. No "that's not my problem" energy. They treated my home like it was their own. Like, genuinely. I didn't have to ask once. Special shoutout to Sammy for always being reachable, to John for keeping the whole operation from going off the rails, and to Fernando, Armando, and Salvadore for their hard work and dedication on the ground -- these guys showed up every day and just handled their business. And honestly, the entire construction crew, the painters, and the membrane repair team deserve a shoutout too. Every single one of them showed up like it mattered. Because it did. These are good people doing great work and it shows. Most importantly -- I finally feel safe enjoying the outside of my home again. And honestly? That's everything.

Jose brings an incredible amount of expertise, hard work, and enthusiasm to every job. He is very communicative throughout the process and works efficiently while still maintaining a very high standard. It is clear he cares deeply about doing the job right. I hired him for two projects to restore wood that had been badly maintained over the years. From the start, he was upfront about realistic expectations and worked closely with me so the final result would be both beautiful and aligned with my personal taste, even with the challenges from past wear and damage. His process is meticulous. He carefully preps, conditions, and treats the wood so the finish looks great and will last. One of the projects he worked on was restoring our outdoor patio seating, which had been heavily worn down by the elements. It had become rough, uncomfortable to sit on, and even left little splinters. Jose transformed it completely. The wood is now smooth, almost velvet to the touch, and looks beautiful again. He also took the time to tighten loose planks so everything feels solid and well cared for. If you need help restoring decks, outdoor wood furniture, benches, railings, or other exterior wood, Jose is exceptional. I am thrilled with the results and will absolutely work with him again.

5/5 - True Craftsmanship and Professionalism from Perretti Builders…read more After building fences and decks for many years and eventually becoming a general contractor specializing in custom homes (including our own), my husband has extremely high standards when it comes to construction quality. He personally designed and built our home's deck twice over the past 50 years--each one lasting 25 years. Now, at 88 years old, he decided it was time to pass the torch and hire a contractor to construct our third deck. We carefully interviewed several builders and reviewed examples of their work before choosing Perretti Builders, and we are so glad we did. Their quote was reasonable compared to others, and JorgePadilla, who speaks both English and Spanish, was incredibly receptive to our ideas and special requests, including built-in benches and flower boxes, while working within our existing footprint. The crew, led by Amalcar, arrived promptly at 8:00 a.m. every day. All three workers were highly skilled, friendly, and made sure to clean up the site daily. My husband, a true craftsman himself, was genuinely impressed by the quality of the workmanship and the professionalism of the entire team. The finished deck is absolutely beautiful--thoughtfully constructed, sturdy, and completed on time and on budget. If you are planning a new deck, pergola, arbor, or outdoor structure, we wholeheartedly recommend Perretti Builders. Jorge Perretti has our full permission to show this sample of his work.

Jorge and his team were super people. They were always smiling, always on time and Jorge kept me in the loop at every step of the way. The area where Jorge's team really stood out was around the design itself. I had worked the design with the Struxure company directly and, partially my fault, it was flawed. The fireplace was to pass through the pergola roof but since the fireplace had been placed a few inches off center, Jorge's team needed to adjust their cuts to make it fit. They didn't cut corners and they took their time to get it right. It's beautiful and without Jorge's team, I could have ended up with a real disaster. I would highly recommend Peretti Builders for any job needing detail work. If you just want something assembled and built quickly, anyone could do that. Jorge is quality and craftsmanship.
