We couldn't be happier with our new deck from Second Wind Deck Master! A huge thank-you to John,…read morethe owner, and to Abraham and Abraham Jr., who handled everything from start to finish with incredible care and diligence. They put so much effort into this project, and it shows in the finished work. John recommended going with composite decking, and I'm so glad we listened. We chose Trex in Spiced Rum paired with white railing, and the combination turned out absolutely beautiful. Our project included multiple sets of stairs, and they did a fantastic job bringing everything together. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were great. We received several competing bids, and their price was very competitive--especially for the quality of work they delivered. It's wonderful to find a team that takes this much pride in what they do and follows through with such a beautiful result. I've worked with many contractors, and John stands out for his honesty and integrity. He's a rare find--the kind of person you trust and want to work with again and again. I absolutely plan on hiring their team again by for other decks and would recommend them to anyone considering a new deck. Grateful for their work.

Second Wind Deck Master delivered exactly what I needed, and the experience was refreshingly…read morestress-free and efficient. Owner John Giordano is a handshake kind of guy, literally. He skips the heavy paperwork and works on trust instead. As a real estate entrepreneur, that was unusual to me, but it turned out faster and just as reliable since he backs it up. Where other deck builders I spoke to seemed shaky/flaky about my project, John was solution-oriented, brave, and responsive. That confidence is ultimately why I hired him. Abraham Sr and Jr, the builders, are true craftsmen. They work hard, move fast, and were always open to dialogue when something needed improvising on the spot. Hardscaping wasn't part of the project. They're upfront that it's not their focus, so I brought in a separate company for that piece, no issue at all. While this isn't the least expensive deck builder in San Diego, the quality and honesty are there. Where I did blow past my original budget, John flagged it ahead of time, so it was never a surprise. The end result exceeded my expectations, including the cable railing, which looks clean, modern, and beautifully finished. I'll be hiring John and his crew again for my next deck project without a second thought. And I'm 100% sure my neighbors are about to start knocking, asking who did the deck... ;-)

The wood post that was damaged at the bottom had been routed along the edges, which he was able to duplicate without hesitation. He actually came in at less than his quote because the supplies were less than he anticipated and he doesn't mark up supplies, who does this?!! Ordinarily you pay an extra percentage on supplies. CJ is not only honest (rare these days and I speak from experience on this), and personable, but he has integrity about his work as well, he makes sure it is done to your satisfaction. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

Sergio was the only one to come close to being reasonable. His crew tore down the old deck and built a very solid replacement. The Timbertech surface and aluminum railing looks great. I am the kind of person to poke around and ask a lot of questions, Sergio was on the site every day and patiently explained every part of the process. The only snafu was the cleanup at the end (not removing the broken up footers) but once I brought this to his attention it was quickly remedied. I have zero reservations about recommending Super Decks!

Johnny was very flexible because my needs changed between approving the quote and the scheduled install. Cruz and Enrique performed the install. I received a text about 45 minutes before they arrived. They walked the project with me and kept me in the loop when a few minor things popped up, so we could decide how to move forward in a way that worked for me. They were very communicative, professional and kept the job very clean. Overall VPF did a great job and we'd definitely recommend!
