Last year I contacted every company advertising deck refinishing in all the NW suburban area home…read moreshoppers and mailers. One quoted an outrageous price, two quoted half the figure, and two promised to come out for a quote and never showed up. All had a number of poor reviews of their work on line. I held off getting the work done. This spring I contacted Pro Coat. Dave Marion quoted a fair price for the job, and warned me that he couldn't guarantee the old botched finish could be completely removed. He said his crew would test a small area and only if they could satisfactorily clean it, would they do my entire deck. His men arrived within the time frame Dave had estimated, the test cleaning worked perfectly, and within the day my deck was stripped, brightened and looking like new. A few days later Pro Coat was back and the deck was stained in an afternoon. Great care was taken to cover the side of the house next to the deck so no over-spray could get on the siding or brickwork. The yard was left immaculately clean. Alfredo did a great job of evenly and thoroughly applying the new stain to the inside and outside of the deck, despite the surrounding hedge making it difficult. My deck now looks like new, and the results were far better than I thought could possibly be achieved. Any future work I need will be done by Pro Coat, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

Can't say enough good things about Dave and his team. Dave came out to personally inspect the deck,…read moresize and condition and his team visited at least 3x to remove and replace a handful of rotting planks, color match our existing color to what they'd apply and then power wash and seal it. He spent time with me on a call explaining the two types of sealant and left me feeling far more informed about the work they were doing than anyone else who's previously done similar work. They moved all the furniture on and off for us and made it a smooth and easy process. Would highly recommend and will use them again when the deck requires re-sealing. Wish all home contractors were as easy going, responsible and timely. Thanks Dave!

That was at second level I took time to find the right company and I paid for high quality work. Throughout the project, they demonstrated outstanding professionalism through clear communication, reliable scheduling, and respectful treatment of my property. The deck construction was managed efficiently from planning through completion, and their expertise showed in both the quality of work and valuable suggestions they provided. I was so impressed that I hired them again this year to stain the deck, and once again they delivered flawless results with the same attention to detail and professionalism. I am thrilled with how evervthing turned out - It became the perfect spot for relaxing and entertaining. I will hire them again when I need their experts and craftsmanship .Mine was a full tear down that was close to 45 years old. They were also able to do a fabulous brick walkway, steps and walkout that I requested to add on to my project. I talked with their previous clients about their experience and all of them highly suggested them as well. I was so blessed to find them. I recommend them highly without hesitation seeking quality construction work with a team that truly cares about their clients.

EV came out promptly and gave us a fair estimate. We took a little time considering our options and waited a little longer than originally promised to have the work completed. Weather played into it as well and that was taken into consideration. That being said, we are very happy with the final product!! They were super responsive to a couple of flaws in the repair and promptly fixed it to our satisfaction. The crews were all polite and worked in a very clean manner. They are very organized, document everything and make it easy to pay online. I would recommend using their services.

Derrick helped me navigate a very challenging situation to rebuild the entire back wall of my home and attached deck due to water damage. Scope: New insulation, plywood sheathing, composite siding, soffit, and fascia for back wall. Replaced rim joist, headers, and other structural wood as needed from water damage. Re-installed windows and sliding glass door incorrectly installed by previous contractor. Rebuilt pressure treated wood deck with improved layout. Derrick's attention to detail and pride in his work translated to a solution that addressed all of my goals and helped me understand mistakes made by previous contractors. He spent hours reviewing options and brainstorming with me as more damage was uncovered and the scope had to expand as we went. Overall, could not be happier with my experience and would highly recommend.

My deck has been a sight for sore eyes for quite some time. I've neglected it for many years but…read morethis year I was on a mission to bring it back to life. I needed a contractor that will get the job done right and Im so glad that I hired Pulse. Derrick came out and measured the deck in minutes, provided samples and suggestions. I knew composite was the way to go so I don't have to worry about maintenance. Within an hour we had a plan. I had a hard time narrowing down colors but helped by offering his suggestions. The colors I picked were some newer options Trex released and Derrick said he was excited to see how it turns out. Derrick and Luke came out and when I watched them work I was highly impressed. They worked like machines; measuring and communicating like a good team should. Luke is clearly a highly skilled carpenter. I had an idea for angled steps and even though it's a bit complicated he took on the project and built some really cool stairs that make my deck unique. Their attention to detail really showed and they kept me informed of their progress through an app with daily updates in what was complete. Communication was top notch and thats important to me. Pulse wasn't the cheapest company, but the value was great. You get what you pay for and Im glad that I finally have a beautiful deck to enjoy. I only wish the rest of my house was as nice as it puts the rest of it to shame. If you're looking for a job done right call Pulse.

We never received the estimate. We emailed and called to follow up. We heard nothing. What a waste of time! Follow-Up: 8 minutes after posting this review we received the estimate. $6000 for a bathroom window! In person at the time of estimate he said it would be about $2,000. The window is not a premium window. We looked up the brand, out of the 4 levels of windows, it is second from the bottom in quality. An estimate should include your bottom number of the work to be done. No thank you!
