    Planks replaced, deck made stable

    We are so glad we took Rupert's advice. Got the deck stained before it started raining. It looks great, and is sturdy as well. Rupert helped us avoid unnecessary work and increase the life of our current deck, and we appreciate the eco-friendly outcome. Attaching some photos of before and after to give an idea. Summit Deck Doctor also helped paint a smaller upstairs deck.

    After

    Our 5 year old ipe deck was badly in need of staining. After getting few quotes, we decided to work with Summit Deck Doctor. His bid was reasonable and within our budget. Mostly, very straight forward, and no hidden costs in the fine print. No need to say any thing about the outcome, my photos show the beautiful results!!!As for their customers service, Rupert was very responsive and easy to communicate. I had a specific color in mind, and Rupert provided an array of stained samples for me to choose from. He was super patient and accommodating! I really enjoyed working with him, because he had a great knowledge of color and its possibilities. Michael was the person who did the staining. Can't say enough about his skill, dedication and attention to detail! Superb! I would highly recommend this company and will happily be a repeating client.

    Orange varnish

    We had a mixed experience. We hired Rupert to treat a large redwood gazebo, curved bench, two bridges and our mailbox post, to preserve the wood. We asked for a natural look in a reddish brown. What we received is orange. The pressure washing and application of the product by Michael were excellent. The problem is the garish color. We asked multiple times, including a week after, if at least the small bridge in the front yard could be improved. While acknowledging the end result is "orangey" Rupert made no attempt to improve it. I have attached a photo for context. If you hire him, make sure he gives you a color choice that is appropriate.

We had a fairly complex situation to replace our entire fence and add gates which required coordination with five neighbors. It was a high-quality experience from the first point of contact with owner Darrin Petzer to our engagement with foreman Serafin and the entire team. Darrin was always accessible and very thorough with his replies from start to finish. QUALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP: their commitment to quality is evident. They chose high quality lumber and their attention to detail to craft a beautiful end product is stellar. PROFESSIONALISM AND COLLABORATION: they listen carefully and solicit input to collaborate and make sure the end result is on point. They were professional every step of the way and offered suggestions to enhance the finished product. New ideas included a screen to "hide" recycling bins and premium locking latch devices for gates. TEAM DYNAMICS: it's a special team at Pacific Fence. You can tell when a team enjoys working together. Their energy and laughter was evident throughout the week-long project. They were early to work each day, diligently worked and finished ahead of schedule. They cleaned up thoroughly and left the worksite spotless. FINISHED PRODUCT: Pacific Fence transformed and beautified our home. We highly recommend them if you are looking for high quality craftsmanship with a great customer experience...and at a reasonable price. It was an amazing experience and we couldn't be more pleased!

    This company changed ownership recently and there's a huge change not for the better. I had them…read moreover to give me an estimate on having a gate replaced I was told I'd get the estimate the next day and they would do the work on Saturday.

Trex, however, does have specific foundation requirements that support the boards and we needed our foundation updated. We met with 3 companies all of whom had good reviews/referrals. We chose California Fence primarily because of Bill. This may sound silly but part of the reason is because when he come over to meet with us and provide a quote, he was covered with dirt and sawdust, which reinforced what he was telling us - He is on the job working with his crew all day unless running out to do a quote. He listened to our needs and gave us experienced feedback. We had a medium sized tree which needed removing and killing, which he also did, and he needed to work around a gas line to our fire pit. We liked his attention to detail and his straight to the point matter. After answering our questions he immediately brought out his tape measure, little book and pencil and worked out a quote. His crew is composed of his family and a couple of family friends that have been working with Bill for years. They were all very friendly and respectful and seemed to share Bill's attention to detail. Bill and crew were always available to us and responsive to any questions we may have had. We were impressed with the quality of their work. When they were done we had a beautiful new Trex deck and the area was nicely cleaned up. We are very pleased and are happy to recommend California Fence.

    Love these folks. They have done four projects for me over the years. Never disappointed. Answers…read morethe phone, shows up when they say they will. Thats half the battle. Good prices and quality work. Hard to find these days. Solid company!
