Cal Preserving

Description of Work: Bruce responded to emails with questions I had almost immediately. He gave me updates like I had asked (service was for a client) and he was very helpful and honest with his assessment of the work needing to be performed. I would definitely recommend this company.

Description of Work: This is a rip off. Instead of providing the service I paid for, I got estimates for additional services. I was advised to go to your website and ask for a refund. I just did.

Description of Work: The work they would cover for the special offer was extremely limited. To do all the work required was an additional $700. Talk about bait and switch. He admitted they made the low ball offer so they could write in additional services. An example-$90 to nail in any protruding nails. I did that in 10 minutes. When I explained I was on a fixed income and had high medical bills for the year (true) he still tried to get an additional $200 out of me. They washed the deck on time and then failed to show up to seal the deck when they had scheduled. I had to call to find out what happened. I would NEVER use them again.

Description of Work: I purchased a promotional service. The decks were larger than I thought so I needed to pay an additional amount. While I did not buy sanding, we did want our deck nails punched back in, they did not do a thorough job the first time, but they came back and fixed it. The decks looked great, there is now some discoloration where the overhangs and furniture are, I've never done this before so I am not sure if that is just normal wear and tear.

Description of Work: Bruce was quick to respond for an estimate. He sent his guy to paint my deck within a few weeks. The job was done on time.

Description of Work: CAL Preserving met my scheduling needs, arrived as agreed and washed, sanded and preserved my deck fully up to specifications. All discussions with management were open, professional and helpful. And the quality of the work was confirmed by a 3rd party professional from the building trades sector who was working at my house. | |All said, I would whole heartedly recommend CalPreserving for a full deck face-lifting. I rate the price structure as B only because the concept of an A rating would mean highly under priced for highest quality. What I have experienced was very fair price for high quality and that is 100% acceptable.

Description of Work: Restored a deck. They provided the services as they stated and described

Description of Work: deck refinishing

Description of Work: Refinish /repair decks

Description of Work: I have over 700 sq ft of redwood deck, plus handrails that need refinishing. Cal Preserving's agent, Bruce Watkins, came promptly to make a quotation. He was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Besides the quotation, he gave me lots of useful advice. The price just came out too high for my budget.

Description of Work: Took advantage of the 250 Square Foot deal. Let's be frank: Most of these big deals start out as loss leaders to upsell the customer into an area where the service provider can actually make a profit. So CalPreserving was definitely a good sport when they came out and saw my 230 sq ft deck. I paid extra to get some sanding done and then they put a water based sealer coat on. It looks fantastic. They also do siding preservation, and I will be requesting a bid from them in the future. Overall, Bruce running the business was very responsive, via both phone and email, and the gentlemen coming out to do the actual work were very professional and helpful.

Description of Work: Owner did a thorough evaluation - including the underside of the deck which needed work. No other company did as thorough an estimate. Workers were very professional and cleaned up thoroughly. Quality seems quite nice - we'll see in a year!!

Description of Work: 2 men pressure washed and applied preservative to front and back decks in 2 half-days. They spoke some English, worked hard, and cleaned up afterward. They were very punctual and pleasant. A different man came before from the co. and measured and photographed the space. I never met the owner; phone and email contact only. There was a mixup when the workers came believing that there was only one deck to do but there was actually a front deck as well as larger back one. The owner gave permission to do both for the same price quoted. Results could have been better had I chosen to have sanding done as well, but my budget didn't permit. All in all, successful result.

Description of Work: Bruce's team power washed my deck and sealed it.
