We have a 30 year old large redwood deck which needed cleaning, refinishing and re-staining . Villanova Decks assigned one worker who thoroughly washed, hand sanded, washed again and stained the deck, including re-nailing a couple of boards which needed to be secured. All of the work was down thoroughly and in a complete professional manner, Highly recommend this outstanding company. read more

We had Carlos refinish two entry doors, main house and guest house, that were dried and bleached from sun exposure. It was difficult to find a person to redo natural wood as most who looked at the job recommended just painting the doors. Carlos and his crew were on time, did daily clean up, and communicated work progress. One door came out a little darker than expected, and Carlos removed the stain and redid the door as he was not happy with it. Price was fair for the amount of labor involved for the job. A true Artisan! read more

We worked with Carlos at Villanova Decks to refinish our large redwood deck. The work then was excellent and Carlos advised the treatments would last 4 - 5 years. It's been 4 years and time for a refinish. We just finished having the deck done by Villanova Decks and could not be happier with the result. The work was excellent and complete according to schedule and budget. I have to say it's worth having the deck done every 4 -5 years. Maintenance pays off read more

Carlos, Esme and the whole Villanova team restored our decks to a beautiful finish! They were very thorough and professional - they thought of everything to do a great job and protect our pool, lawn and adjacent areas. They moved all the furniture and plants off and then back on to the deck at the end. Carlos provided a personal walk through at the end. They started and finished on time and on budget! I will definitely call them again in the future. Highly recommended! read more

Carlos and Esme are an awesome team and have great crews working with them. I've had my deck refinished several times now, and it's always a super high quality job done with care. It looks like I have a new deck! The job always gets done on time, on schedule (weather permitting), and on budget. Highly recommend! read more

This family owned deck company is as good as it can possibly get. When you need a deck refinished or repaired, it's difficult to find craftsmen to do what they consider to be a small job compared to building a whole new deck. But Carlos, the company's owner, and his business sharp wife Esme will treat you like royalty with integrity and fairness. Our situation was that we put off repairing our deck for far too long and it looked really terrible--broken boards, uneven surfaces and the stain was worn in every area. Enter Villanova Deck. First they call you back, then they show up on time for a free estimate appointment and spend time going over your expectations. The work was completed in two visits and the results are stunning! The price was very reasonable as well. We feel lucky to have found such an outstanding company. Do not hesitate to give them a call. Five Gold Stars! read more

Attention to the fine details coupled with a commitment to meet customer expectations: this is Villanova!

Both projects completed to our full satisfaction. Well done, Carlos, thank you! read more

We've had Carlos stain our decks twice now and each time he has done a fantastic job. After the second time, there were a few areas that needed touch up and Carlos came by on a Friday evening after work to put on another entire coat of stain at no cost to us. It doesn't get much better than that. Our deck looks amazing and we will always have Villanova take care of it whenever it needs some more TLC. Carlos is the best! read more

Villanova Decks - Best looking deck in the neighborhood! - Decks & Railing Near Me

We in November 2018 agreed to have Villanova do our long-needed deck washing and staining. Carlos made a very professional presentation, with good suggestions about what would work for our aged deck, and suggesting some cost-effective repairs of some of the boards. He even was able to use some old deck boards we had saved from dismantling another deck long ago. Because it was winter, we had to await a long enough time window to fit the project into between rains and cold temperatures. December 10 was the day, and Carols and his crew did a very efficient job over a couple days' time, including moving and replacing deck furniture and potted plants from the deck. Unfortunately, some rains came unpredictably sooner than we had hoped, though Carlos thought the deck would still dry ok. After a few weeks of dry weather it became clear that parts of the deck were drying in a splotchy way and the end job was unsatisfactory. Carlos agreed, and he and crew came back early in spring during a long dry spell and essentially re-did the whole deck, at no extra charge, including moving furniture and potted plants off the deck again. After this re-do, the deck looked -- and still does, some 4 months later -- beautiful! Evenly stained, gorgeous color, and uniform. Overall, despite the unavoidable setbacks, we are very pleased with the work by Carlos and his team of Villanova Deck Staining and Painting and would definitely hire them again for our next re-finishing (and we won't wait so long next time!). read more

Second time customer. Small job: 5' x 20' new posts and railing. Dave washed and brightened one day, and Carlos sanded and treated the next day. He is super into detail, and works with zero mess. He is a professional, in every sense of the word. Not the cheapest, but if it's quality you want , hire Carlos. read more

I was very impressed with this company's responsiveness, with the quality of its work, and with the followup after the job was completed. My deck refinishing job was a relatively small one compared with some of the firm's other work, but Villanova's owner stayed in contact with me from start to finish. I highly recommend this locally-owned firm. read more

Carlos and his guys just refinished our deck and they were great! Professional in every way. Reasonably priced and we are in love with our new deck! He even offered to stamina bench we had on the patio. Oh, and he started on time and finished eve a bit early! read more

They did our deck the second time (pictures from the first time are features on their website). They showed up on the date as confirmed months earlier (challenging in view of changing weather patterns), did the job in the scheduled time of 3 days only. In the first day they cleaned & pressure-washed, then they did some deck "brightening" that made the deck look like new. In the second day the sanded the deck - I wondered why, the deck looked like new already, but they said it was to open up the wood surface to absorp the stain later (pressure washing apparently damages the surface so it needs to be opened up by sanding). The third day they stained the deck. The deck sucked in the stain and it looks SUPER and they did not stain anything else (this is big - most painting/staining jobs I have gotten done left some stains on the concrete and stones surrounding the site)! When I called them to schedule this job, they were so booked up I only could get them much later than I wanted so I am a little conflicted to put such a positive review but then the whole thing of social media is to share experiences for the good of all and these guys deserve the praise for the fabulous job they do. read more

We chose Villanova Deck Staining & Painting after reading the reviews from previous customers. The owner was very prompt to initial enquiries. After the initial estimate a time frame was established. There were no delays - work was done promptly - and some repairs were accomplished ahead of schedule. The owner made all expectations clear and thoroughly answered all questions. All calls were answered promptly. The work was accomplished with a professional crew who was very polite. After each workday, the crew cleaned up the work area. The end work product was excellent!! We are very satisfied with the renewal of our 3 -35 year old decks. We have no hesitation to recommend this company to anyone!! read more

I had an older deck that needed some repairs and staining. I chose Villanova Deck Staining and Painting after reading all the positive comments on Yelp. I actually called him last October to have him give me an estimate. He and his assistant were prompt for the appointment and addressed all my concerns. I received the estimate within a day or two. I knew at the time that he couldn't start the project until the spring because of all the rain this winter. He kept in contact with me regarding our start date in April. I met once more with him to go over the plan. He started and completed the project on time (while I was away on vacation!) and even sent me pictures showing the beautiful results. When I came home from vacation he stopped by to see how the deck was drying and to give me helpful tips on maintaining my deck. I am extremely happy with the excellent work he did on my deck and highly recommend him. read more

Carlos & crew did amazing work restoring my 600 sq ft redwood deck. The support timbers were rotted but the clear heart Redwood deck boards were good, so he was able to take it apart, fix the supports, refurbish the deck boards, rails & steps, stain and treat (3yr water treatment) and the whole thing looks BETTER THAN ORIGINAL! I've gotten so many compliments from people walking along the creek behind my house! read more

Carlos and crew rebuilt my ailing Redwood deck. They refurbished the beautiful clear-heart Redwood surface boards, and rebuilt the support structure. I got so many compliments from people walking along the creek path along the back of my house for reusing the gorgeous wood. After got more compliments on how beautiful it is. I bought the house when it was 2 years old, and the deck now looks better than original! Thanks Carlos. Kudos to the great support from the office in scheduling too! read more

Very pleased with the quality of work and professionalism of Villanova Deck Staining & Painting. Highly recommend!

WOW, Carlos and his crew did a phenomenal job on my very large Clear Heart Redwood Deck. This deck was built in 1991. It now looks like it did 27 years ago in 1991. Amazing, Detergent / Brightener, Power washing at the correct pressure, orbital sanding of the Whole Surface, Then 2 coats of TWP stain, it looks new !!!! Although we have had the deck refinished every 3 years, it has never come out like this since it was new. If we could have higher review than 5 Stars, Villanova Deck Staining would get it. Thanks Carlos & Crew!!!! read more
