I called Connor for an inspection on a home I am buying. He came within an hour, inspected thoroughly, and spent time with me explaining and educating. Turned out no repairs were needed. He could have recommended work and I would have believed, but Connor said the deck had plenty of life left in it. Better service than I could have asked for. read more

Unfortunately I couldn't use this company for what I needed. Connor did arrive for the estimate on time( early in fact). I appreciated his honesty explaining what needed to be done. Connor is very knowledgeable and a really nice guy!! He was willing to go to Home Depot to get a 4 x4 to shore up my patio for a temporary fix!! I wish we could have had him rebuild our patio(s) but we decided but we decided to use different materials Connor doesn't offer. read more

We just finished our project with Mark and Conner and I cannot say enough good things about them. From quote to finish they were the most fairly priced, nicest, and most accommodating to what we needed in our deck project. We are busy with young kids and they worked around our chaos and were so nice to the kids which made a huge difference in our experience. The finished product is beautiful! Thank you Mark and Conner! read more

I just have to leave a review for this company - Mark just came by to give me an estimate and although it wasn't the right fit for the job that I need, he was so kind and respectful and super helpful. He gave me recommendations for the direction that I should go. I so appreciate nice people like this. I will definitely reach out if the need arises! Thanks again! read more

My wife and I are just so impressed with Mark and Connor and the meticulous job they did on our new deck. We have had a lot of work done on our house in the last several years and unfortunately people don't seem to have the same work ethic that I am used to seeing having grown up in the Midwest. Marc and Connor care so much about everything that they do whether it's putting in a joist or making sure that a fitting looks perfect that I can't say enough good things about them. If there were a place to give them 100 stars we would do so. Their quote was extremely reasonable in light of all of the other quotes that we received, and we received many. But every time we spoke and talked, they would get back to us promptly and answer all of our questions no matter how stupid they might have seemed to them. Mark and Connor, thank you so much for your integrity and workmanship. A job (almost) well done. read more

Throughout the project we had a few changes made Mark and his son never even once show in patient with us in the end the deck just look perfect.

Mark, Connor and team were amazing to work with! From start to finish they were professional and courteous of our space. They take true pride in their work and we are so happy with our deck! read more

We had Connor and Mark, and their team, rebuild our backyard deck and deck railing, which extends out over a downhill slope. They also built an awesome storage area under the deck that our kids also like to use as a fort. We are VERY happy with how it all turned out. I especially appreciated their willingness to be creative and to listen to my ideas as I tried to make some unique design ideas into reality. They did a great job capturing and creating what I had envisioned. I was also very happy with how they communicated and with the transparency of their quote and pricing adjustments that happened along the way as the project morphed a bit. Finally, I really appreciated their diligence and hard work. We had asked them up front if they could get everything done before a kids backyard birthday party and they were true to their word and got everything done in time for the party despite some weather delays, and despite the fact that I decided to change the paint color midway through. I would definitely recommend them! read more

I had Mark and Conner, Rebuild my deck from the ground up. They used Trex and metal railing with cables. They suggested redoing the footings so we could make the deck bigger, which was a great idea. They were very easy to work with and always talked with me about what they were doing and asked for my input. Always available for question, very professional . I now have a huge beautiful deck that I will enjoy for many years. read more

There is a strong sense of ethical behavior and trust. Mark's communication skills are excellent. He is a good listener and collaborator. Questions and texts were responded to quickly. My property and my time were respected. I had a 40 year old redwood deck that had not been built correctly in the first place and a patio cover that was filled with dry rot and termites. My refinished deck now looks like a fine piece of furniture and is extremely strong and safe. The patio cover is beautiful, and well built. This will last me for many years and I am forever grateful to iRefinishDecks. read more

Outdoor Living Pros - Finished deck and patio cover. - Decks & Railing Near Me - Lake Forest, California

We did not have any work done by Mark, but I wanted to write a review based on our experience with getting an estimate. We had a small area of dry rot on our patio cover, so we had Mark come look at it to see what he recommended. He was extremely honest in telling us that the job was very simple and he would recommend either doing it ourselves or hiring a handyman. He was able to reassure us it was likely not a structural issue and the rest of the patio cover was in good shape. He was kind and punctual. We will definitely keep him in mind for future projects! read more

Wonderful folks who are passionate about their craft. You try to find them easier options or let go of minor details you want so they don't break their back over small details. But they are more than happy to deliver exactly what you want. They say they are happy when the customer is happy so they will deliver. They are professionals who knows what they are working with and lists out the pros and cons of an idea. If they stumble into an issue with what you envision, they will find a way to make it happen. They are wonderful people that are very transparent with you about the process of the project. No excuses, no shortcuts, no BS. Our deck looks amazing thanks to these guys and could not be happier! read more

This is the 2nd review I am writing. After Mark and Connor finished our deck, the painter came and left their footprints all over. Mark came on labor day weekend, spent 2 days and re-did the deck. He stands by his work. They are AWSOME. read more

My wife and I have lived in our Trabuco Canyon home for 32 years. Our view of the Saddleback Mountains is spectacular. I have dreamed of replacing our old lattice patio cover with a solid patio cover with a walkable roof to enhance our view. Our new patio cover is 16' x 32' and my lumber selection of 6" x 6" support beams with two crossbeams that measure 6' x 10' and 30 sheets of ¾ T & G plywood deck. There are five coats of waterproofing color-matched to our house trim. Looking at the cost material for all this lumber during the massive industry increase of 60% and higher makes you question why not wait until the lumber prices go down or use composite material or steel. I am old-school and love the look of wood, and I am impatient. We began the process of selecting the railing that would not disrupt the beautiful view and needs minimal maintenance plus be weather resistant was a must. I didn't like the Trek product for this application because of possible failure when the grandkids would be on the deck. Wood, glass, or cable seem the best options. After researching and viewing several pictures of railing, we decided to look at the cable railing and started to get excited with the look and finishing touch to our dream balcony. The first company I contacted was eight weeks out for new work, I couldn't wait two months with an open deck that needs railing ASAP. My second call was to iReFinish Decks, a local company in Lake Forest. I spoke to the owner, Mark Josipovich, and told him what I was looking for and that my biggest concern was his lead time for completion. He stated that without looking at it, lead time is about four weeks to start and three to four days to complete. Mark said that he would be in the area this afternoon and could look at the deck and give a better idea. Mark arrived with his son, Connor, that same day, which I thought was unbelievable, we all went out on the deck. When I informed Mark that our house sits on the old Escape Country motorcycle park, he looked at me and said, "I want to be a part of this," I told him I wanted him to be a part of it too. After talking with Mark and Connor, they took some measurements and Mark said he was finishing up a couple of jobs and would prioritize my railing. They left and Mark said he would email a quote to us with a start date. When I received the proposal from iReFinish Decks, it was all laid out with measurements, gauge of steel for posts, and stainless-steel cable. It was like they saw our vision and the best part was they could start the project the following day! The price was in our expectation of cost, and we said, yes, let's do it. From the start I knew that we had chosen the right company. All the cutting, fabricating, and coating was done in their shop, not in our backyard. When work was done in the backyard, they cleaned up and ran a 24" magnet across the entire work area so there wouldn't be a chance of leaving any metal pieces in our yard. They brought a template post to check to see if it fit before making the remaining posts. Mark asked me to look at the post he made, and I couldn't believe how solid if felt. The welds on the plate to the post were perfect, they made the post with thicker steel than quoted, increasing his cost but not ours. That is what Mark does! Connor told me that when his dad sees an opportunity to improve any job, he normally does the improvements without up charging the customer to enhance the quality and craftmanship and outcome of all their work. Our experience with iReFinish Decks exceeded all our expectations from the posts that were powder coated and not just painted to the stainless-steel wire and fittings. The best part of our entire deck, besides our view, is the 32' 2 x 6 wood piece that goes across the top. It is solid with only three knots in the entire piece! I expected to have a seam in the middle. When Mark and Connor showed up with this piece of lumbar, I was in awe at how beautiful this piece of wood is and the effort and relationship that Mark and Connor have with Ganahl Lumber to acquire this beauty. My wife and I are very satisfied with all aspects of their work. If you are thinking of creating your dream project, let iReFinish Decks team help you make it come true. read more

very professional and they are a group of perfectionist. If these two qualities are important to you, look no further.

If you're too busy to take on a job, the least you can do as professionals is to let the customers know, instead of making stupid excuses. This company is disorganized. Scheduling department is nonexistent. On the positive side, we're glad we found out now and not after the job has already started and money has changed hands. Just imaging chasing after them to get work done! read more

I used this company years ago to build a deck and dock for my house on the water. When I needed work done in my new home, this was the company that I thought of immediately. Reliable, honest, good workmanship, thorough - just a few things that I really like about them. Recently, I needed my deck and concrete cleaned and sanitized as I have two very large dogs that like to make it smell a little more like them. Even though I had not used them in the past for a job like this, I called them and they were happy to accommodate my needs. They were much more thorough than I had expected. They came with great knowledge about pet odors, concrete, decking and the care that each of them needed. I will definitely call them again as my dogs still live here and will keep them in mind for future projects. read more

Mark did an absolute amazing job refinishing our deck. He measure out and went over every part of our deck during the quoting process. He provide a very detailed statement of work and timeline for the job. His refinishing process was excellent. His team sanded off all of the old paint, applied sealant, and three coats of paint. His team was very accommodating when we wanted to make tweaks along the way. Afterwards there were some paint bubbles and some sap and he was able to have his team fix it in a few days. The results were amazing. Our deck looks and feels brand new. If you care about a job done right at an extremely high professional standard, Mark is the person to call and is worth every penny. read more

We have a deck , firepit and pergola in San Clemente which was damaged by sun. We had decided to replace it with Trex. Contacted Mark, from his reviews on Yelp. He came, spent time explaining our options and said he can make the deck like new by refinishing it. We were hesitant about the refinish option. Mark is extremely professional and responsive. He promised a proposal by that evening and we received it on time . Well, we decided to go with the refinish option and now glad we did it. Mark and his son are true magicians. Our deck looks soooo beautiful. Always showed up early in the morning and left as late as the HOA permitted. Cleaned up every night and gave us a magnificent backyard. They are personable and very helpful in so many ways, spent time giving us ideas about what to do with our damaged hardwood floors. They take pride in their work and it shows. I highly recommend them. read more
