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.

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 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.

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!

JD Lopez helped me convert a Burlingame garage into an ADU. It had been sub-divided w/o a permit…read morebefore I purchased the property and so I was anxious about the process to get it into compliance. He oversaw his crew as they converted the garage into a living/kitchen. The crew was very respectful and kept things pretty clean, all things considered. He worked collaboratively with my Architect (Alex Tzang, also a 5-star) to clarify as needed. There was an issue where the front facade had to be raised (after framing) to account for water sloping from the driveway. Although a bummer that it had already been built out, he/his team re-did the work and the City was reasonable on the solution given that the garage header and roof were fixed. Whew! Overall, it took longer than I had hoped for what I thought was a small job but construction projects in 2021 were hectic. JD stayed true to his estimate. Of course there were additional costs as I we got into construction and I realized that some things were better to be done while the patient was on the table, so to speak, but I chose to add the costs and there were no surprises. Looking back (this review is overdue), I would highly recommend JD Lopez. He's a very calming presence during a hectic time for people and I would definitely hire him again...if he is available!

Mauricio helped me to add a new deadbolt opening into the exact right spot, had all the right tools for the job, and made sure to take the exact measurements needed to make sure my new smart door lock fit and worked perfectly. I needed someone exactly like Mauricio who takes his craft like art and does the job right the first time. One mistake and I'd be looking at doing a new double entry door replacement that would've cost at least a couple thousand more. I'm definitely glad I reached out to Mauricio for this type of job and would recommend him for any custom wood project.
