If you're looking for someone who truly understands wood, Jose from Deck Preservation is the person…read moreto call. I would not trust anyone else with projects like this. 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.

He explained every step of the process, used high-quality products, and completed the work right on schedule. In addition to doing excellent work, Jose was friendly, respectful of my property, and left everything spotless. If you're looking for someone who knows exactly what they're doing and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Jose for any deck preservation needs. Thank you, Jose!

I'm very disappointed with my experience with Mario/Rodriguez Maintenance & Landscaping. I hired…read moreMario to do fence work at my home, including moving the fence and gate area back from my driveway. Since the work was completed, the fence has never been the same. The biggest issue throughout this entire process was reliability and communication. Mario would give me specific dates and times that he was supposed to come to my house, and then he simply would not show up. This happened multiple times. After the work was completed, I reached out several times because there were issues that needed to be fixed. Every time, Mario would say he was coming back, but he never followed through. The quality of the work itself was also disappointing. There are visible gaps along the bottom of the fence, parts of the fence are uneven and not level, and some of the boards have spaces where you can clearly see through them. The fence along the driveway also does not match the rest of the fence we paid for. In addition, there are holes drilled into our concrete where the fence latches are supposed to lock into place, but one of the holes was drilled incorrectly and the latch does not properly secure. When we originally received the quote for the backyard fence, the driveway fence, and moving the gate back, Mario told us that his work was guaranteed for one year. Unfortunately, when we actually needed him to come back and address the issues, he did not stand behind that guarantee. I also want to clarify that Mario did not personally complete the work himself. In the beginning, two workers came to our house to start the project. I overheard them talking about how there should have been more workers assigned to the job, and they were discussing how much Mario was going to pay them. The next day, only one worker returned. It then took at least another two weeks before Mario finally brought two additional workers back because the project was taking much longer than originally quoted. I understand that projects can sometimes take longer than expected, and honestly that was not even my biggest concern. The real issue was the lack of communication and professionalism. Mario would disappear for periods of time, claim his phone was disconnected, and contact us from random phone numbers. We were constantly left wondering whether anyone was actually coming back to finish the work. Most recently, my fiancé reached out to him again regarding the problems with the fence. Mario said he would come on Sunday, so we rearranged things at our home and waited for him while dealing with other construction projects. He never showed up. Later that evening, around 5 or 6 PM, he sent a text saying he could not make it. At that point, it felt like the exact same pattern all over again. Overall, this experience was extremely frustrating. We trusted Mario based on his promises and the one-year guarantee he provided, but when problems came up, he never properly followed through. The communication was poor, the workmanship was disappointing, and the issues were never corrected. Unfortunately, I would not recommend hiring him. ***UPDATE*** Mario, I was understanding about your personal situation and never expected you to "jump" when I texted. The issue was the repeated promises to come fix the fence and then not showing up or following through over a long period of time. Communication absolutely does matter when customers are trying to resolve problems with paid work that was advertised as guaranteed for a year. Also, calling it a "discount" does not excuse the quality of the work. I paid for a fence that was supposed to be done properly and guaranteed for one year. A lower price should not mean lower workmanship or ignored repairs. I wish you and your family well, but my review reflects my actual experience.

This is an update review now that we have used Octavio and Pacific Premier Landscaping once again…read moreto complete our homes landscaping all around! Octavio and Pacific Premiere Landscaping is STILL incredible! Extremely professional, responsive and just an all around really nice guy! We had a very large project that included our Front, Side, and sloping back yard. My wife and I, like a lot of couples I'm certain, have design paralysis with that "I don't know, what do you want?" going back and forth with each other endlessly. Octavio has a great eye, and countless times he broke our deadlock saying, "How about this? I think this would look really nice" and when we followed his suggestions we ended up being incredibly happy with the result! That's a huge benefit that you can't put value on, because it keeps a project moving forward with minimal stress. Whenever we had questions, he always replied to our texts instantly, and one of the things I really appreciated about his company is that we never had to line up any of our own specialty contractors (electrical, plumbing etc) to do work. He has every discipline covered and coordinates the scheduling of all of that. I've worked with contractors before where they would inform you they didn't do a type of work and we would have to contract that effort separately. Octavio is not like that and he'll coordinate it all according to how you'd like it to look, or be done. Big thumbs up on that! Payment schedules are very clearly explained and documented. Our project included payments in "phases of work" down payment, forms completed, rebar completed, Completed concrete, electrical and irrigation/plants completed, final approval completed etc. and there was flexibility in the schedule if we wished, which made it much easier at one point while we were travelling. He's very open to discussing whatever makes things go smoothly. We loved how he gave us a lot of help particularly with trees/plants (types, locations) Octavio is very knowledgeable in that area and we were very pleased when he met us at the nursery multiple times to show and help us select plants and trees. His work crews were always very friendly, hard working and meticulous, and he checked in on them constantly to make sure everything was going according to plan. It's very obvious that he wants to make sure there are no surprises, and that work is progressing according to schedule and plans. It was a great pleasure having Octavio and Pacific Premiere Landscaping transform our home! We would use him again without question and in fact have several other projects in the immediate future that we're in the process of discussing. A lot of people will search hard for the lowest price (I would estimate that Octavio's prices are not the "cheapest", but they are much more than fair, and I would argue that there is a HUGE difference between "lowest price" and "value"; that being the quality and experience of the work done for the money spent, and with that in mind, Pacific Premiere is a tremendous value! You get a ton for your Money!

I contacted them for a quote to resurface our deck. I was contacted by their landscape designer who…read moresaid that I needed to pay thousands of dollars to him for a plan to be drawn for the deck. I was confused because it's preexisting and I don't want to change it. He then told me that this was required by the city and I would need a permit! I was astounded because that's a lie! It's not my first deck project so I knew repairs and maintenance do not require a permit. I also received several other quotes from licensed and bonded contractors and no one thought I needed a permit.

Sammy, John and all the team members at Envirotek are super professional. They helped us with a…read morevery complicated deck project (three levels, on a downslope, requiring all new engineering, beams, scaffolding and permitting to expand the project substantially). They helped us get the permit when the city of San Carlos refused; they designed, engineered and planned every detail to our specifications; and they built the entire thing over the winter, with only a few rain days. It was beyond impressive.

I don't even know where to begin. So I'll just start from the beginning…read more What I thought was going to be a partial deck repair turned into a full reconstruction. 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.

The work ultimately took longer than initially estimated, but the extra time showed in the thoroughness of the installation and the way unexpected problem areas were handled. Jose stayed communicative and solution-oriented throughout the process. Overall, solid workmanship and a team I would work with again.

Then one day we noticed a Complete Siding Solutions sign in our neighborhood and heard great feedback from the homeowners. Encouraged by their experience, we emailed Jose to come by, inspect our siding, and give us a quote. From the very first interaction, Jose stood out. He was friendly, courteous, and incredibly professional. His quote was right in line with what we expected, fair and transparent without any of the inflated numbers we had seen elsewhere. The entire process with Jose and his team was flawless. Communication was clear and timely, the work started and finished exactly as promised, and the quality of craftsmanship was outstanding. We chose Hardie Plank siding and couldn't be happier with the result it has completely transformed the look of our home. What impressed us most was Jose's honesty and integrity, which are rare qualities in this industry. After years of frustrating contractor experiences, working with Jose and Complete Siding Solutions was a breath of fresh air. If you are considering new siding, I cannot recommend Jose highly enough honest, friendly, reasonably priced, and delivering top-notch work. You will not be disappointed!

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.

Roman was amazing…read more Our house came with a deck that was in complete disrepair. Rotting wood, chipped and fading paint, outdated aesthetics. We really wanted a new deck and at a reasonable cost. We reached out to a few contractors via Yelp. One of them kinda gave us the runaround and wanted us to do some legwork for him, another quoted us an obscene amount for labor alone (he didn't even include materials), and then there was Roman. He came by, gave the deck a once over, inspected the existing joists and foundation, and made a recommendation to keep those in place as they were actually still solid. We decided to hire him based on his honesty, his prior work and reviews as seen on Yelp, and his estimate (which came in at about half of what the other guy had given us). When it came time to discuss materials, Roman suggested using real wood, either redwood or ipe. We asked about using Trex and he told us he believed we'd be better off with real wood. We liked Trex because of its low maintenance and durability. We talked about it more and, even though it wasn't what Roman suggested, decided to go with Trex. He was totally fine with that and we moved forward. Roman came nearly every weekday during the project unless it was raining or he had a family obligation. He demoed our old deck and built the new one. Every day he'd stay until later in the day when it started to get dark. He even stayed after dark a couple of times, working by flashlight. He also cleared the workspace of any sawdust or other debris. He worked hard and kept up a standard of tidiness throughout. In the end we wound up with a beautiful deck that we could not be happier about. Roman did an amazing job. He demoed and hauled away our old, dilapidated deck and replaced it with a beautiful new Trex deck that should last for decades. He did a fantastic job and we are thrilled we decided to go with him. Roman is from Russia, and Russian is his native language. He's very modest about his English (he thinks it isn't very good), but we rarely had any issues communicating with him. When we did, they were easily solved with Google translate. You won't regret hiring Roman. We definitely don't.
