I talked with a handful of companies about staining the cedar siding on my house and chose to go…read morewith South Bay Wood Restoration. From the beginning, Giovanni was very good about communicating the process he recommended based on the state of our siding and was responsive through the end of the project. Their team sanded and stained all of the cedar at a fair price. And unlike other companies, they didn't pressure me to get the cedar restained more frequently than needed. If I had one minor suggestion, it would be to ask the staff to be careful around my plants, but honestly I would rate the job 9.9/10. When the color didn't turn out how I expected, the owner wrote me a long explanation for why he used a particular stain and the issues with my old stain. I really appreciated the explanation and that his team did a more labor intensive process (sanding all of the cedar siding) than other quotes I received. Several months later, they also went out of their way to get back to me on the stain they used because I want to stain my gates the same color. When the time comes again to restain our cedar, I'll definitely be giving Giovanni and Richard a call. Their customer service is top notch!

He made thoughtful suggestions throughout to improve the end result while maintaining the footprint of the existing deck that we required as it simplified the HOA approval.

No show on appoinment…read more I called and asked to get an estimate for a deck repair. Spoke with J directly I believe. We made an appointment for today at 2pm. It's 2:26 and no call and no show. The phone number on their website goes to a full voicemail box so I can't even leave a message. I'm tired of contractors blowing people off. Let's all take our money elsewhere. I want to give my money to people that earn it.

5/5 - True Craftsmanship and Professionalism from Perretti Builders…read more After building fences and decks for many years and eventually becoming a general contractor specializing in custom homes (including our own), my husband has extremely high standards when it comes to construction quality. He personally designed and built our home's deck twice over the past 50 years--each one lasting 25 years. Now, at 88 years old, he decided it was time to pass the torch and hire a contractor to construct our third deck. We carefully interviewed several builders and reviewed examples of their work before choosing Perretti Builders, and we are so glad we did. Their quote was reasonable compared to others, and JorgePadilla, who speaks both English and Spanish, was incredibly receptive to our ideas and special requests, including built-in benches and flower boxes, while working within our existing footprint. The crew, led by Amalcar, arrived promptly at 8:00 a.m. every day. All three workers were highly skilled, friendly, and made sure to clean up the site daily. My husband, a true craftsman himself, was genuinely impressed by the quality of the workmanship and the professionalism of the entire team. The finished deck is absolutely beautiful--thoughtfully constructed, sturdy, and completed on time and on budget. If you are planning a new deck, pergola, arbor, or outdoor structure, we wholeheartedly recommend Perretti Builders. Jorge Perretti has our full permission to show this sample of his work.

Excellent and amazing work!!…read more We called Mikhail to get a quote on assembling a catalog ordered 12 x 16 foot gazebo. Mikhail quoted in a very timely manner and a very competitive bid. Plus as an added bonus MS Construction told us that the gazebo we ordered was a high quality brand. After years of assembling gazebos, they know the high quality from the not so high quality brands. The team he sent were Dennis and Mark and let me tell you they did amazing work! They were both very careful and thorough in their high quality work of assembling the huge gazebo! They take care and pride in their work! Plus they were very both personable people to deal with. Very nice people!! We asked to have a gazebo assembled and MS Construction and Services did the job beautifully!! Highly recommend this company would hire them again and again!!

The foundations for the poles needed to be redone and the joists were rotting. They designed and replaced everything. Once they started work, it only took a week for a 35' long deck. Amazing. Great work guys.

I recently brought in several companies to bid on a deck project at my home. One of them thought I…read moreneeded to tear down the entire existing deck along with the foundation. Another one wanted to tear down the existing deck and make repairs to the foundation as needed. Carlos, on the other hand, felt that most of my existing wood was ok and suggested that we just replace pieces as needed, and also make repairs to the foundation as needed. His approach seemed reasonable to me and much more cost effective. I also told him I had a very tight timeline because I needed to have the deck ready for an upcoming party. Carlos and he team started right away and with minimal input needed from me throughout the project, it was completed very quickly - on time and on budget. I'd alway recommend that people check with several companies before selecting a vendor, but if you are looking to repair or replace your deck, make sure your first call is to Carlos at Total Wood Preservation!

Final results are beautiful, quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Very happy with all the work they did in the back of the house so we hired them to do additional work to the front of our house and replaced all wood with PVC product and all handrails and banisters with metal. They look absolutely gorgeous. I found their communication software very user friendly. Payment process was disclaimed at front based on milestones. Of course there's always glitches in the process and it wouldn't be fair to leave a review without mentioning them. 1- working to get architecture and engineering completed took a few months. 2- a significant surprising unsightly design change was not disclosed. There were additional costs to cover it up. 3- designer renderings showed all wood posts and joist in black paint but this was not included in the original cost, this was another significant cost increase. 4- all decks were to have lights on all railings, that was on the original contract. However, we were told later that the cost of an electrician was not included in our contract. This was yet another cost surprise. Overall, I am very pleased with everything as they addressed every single item that needed to be addressed and it looks beautiful. I will definitely hire them again, but just make sure to ask all posible questions no matter how silly to ensure that everything is included in that upfront quote and there are no surprises.
