They did a really good job and it looks great. They were very professional. We like the people we found.
Description of Work: Pro Woodcare cleaned our shake roof after a hailstorm. They had to replace the fake shake, but they were able to just paint over the real shake, because it wasn’t damaged, even though it looked damaged. The price for that was about $2,600.

Pro Woodcare, and their rep/Regional Manager Chris Roller did an excellent job. We were afraid our roof was too badly damaged by moss, wind and moisture to restore, but they did a beautiful job. (While not clear in the photos, we had over 1" of moss on most of the north roof and even had large mushroom colonies!) Chris was extremely thorough and knowledgable in his assessment of the roof and what needed to be done. The office staff was courteous and did a great job of following up when needed and working with me to book the job. When Chris sent the proposal, he included a substantial list of references in our area which I really appreciated. Their bid came in several thousand dollars lower than the other firm we requested a quote from, which of course, was attractive. (However, I don't believe their bid was artificially low....I think the competitor's was inflated as I confirmed later.) I felt it was a very fair price. When the crew did the work, it looked like they had to replace more shingles on the back part of our roof than was spec'd out in the original contract; but the company didn't charge us extra for this. This was indicative of the entire approach the company took through the whole process---they clearly have high standards and want to do an excellent job; I appreciate that they didn't nickel and dime us as the job progressed. In addition, between the time we booked the contract and when the work was scheduled, we noticed some interior ceiling damage in one of our bedrooms after a major rainstorm. Chris came out to take a look to help us determine if this would be addressed through the minor shingle repair included in the restoration.....or if we had a bigger problem that would require calling in a roofer. Turns out, the damage was due to improperly installed windows in our home. This was clearly outside of the scope of the job we hired Pro Woodcare to do, but Chris drew upon his general knowledge of house contstruction and walked through the whole house with me assessing the condition of most of the windows and giving me suggestions as to what it was going to take to fix the problem. I really appreciated his time and advice, and only confirmed my already positive impression of this company and their level of commitment and customer service. Too bad we only have one roof to restore---I'd happily work with them again!
Description of Work: We had our 20 year old cedar shake roof cleaned and repaired.

Used this service many times in the past. This time was extremely disappointing cleaned the deck and didn't move flower pots - plants damage - only comment was "cant do anything about that" damaged gazebo door trying to get a piece of furniture out (which was left in and they stained around it) - the door was fixed (glued back together and it looks like it) spilled stain on the sidewalk - left dark spot did not announce actual date of staining (only cleaning which was some time in between)came the weekend before the holiday, which meant we had to stay off the deck charged a fuel surcharge which was not indicated on the proposal. The deck staining itself was fine and looks good. Update 7/19/11. I spoke with Tom Lefebvre. I appreciated his follow up and he offered to replace the flowers. I completely disagree with the statement in the provider response that "the pots were too heavy to move" - I moved them the following day with no assistive devices to get them away from the deck. In addition, some pots were moved away from the deck by the crew after the damage was done. The 3 stains on the side walk have not yet been removed. The proposal that I have on file does not have the disclaimer regarding the fuel surcharge. I was not charged for that fee.

Member, We pride ourselves in the quality of work that we offer and the services that we provide. We take great care to make a very dirty job as painless as possible for our clients. I have talked to the crew onsite and our manager about your concerns. This is what we have come up with. Your large flower pots that surround the deck are to heavy to move, we tried to clean the deck surrounding them without damaging the flowers but unfortunately a few flowers were damaged in the cleaning process, for that, we are sorry. Your gazebo door was fixed after we were notified that it was broken, it is a very old door that has been repaired in the past by others. The date of sealing the deck is completely determined by Mother Nature as we require dry weather for this portion of the project. Your deck was sealed on June 30th and was able to be used 24Hrs. after that, giving you the majority of the Holiday weekend to enjoy it. Every contract clearly states that "we reserve the right to charge a fuel surcharge in the event of excessive petroleum cost increases." When we provide proposals sometimes 90-120 days prior to commencing work, we can not predict the cost of fuel at the time the work is completed. The nominal surcharge was waived when you complained about it. The drip of stain on your sidewalk will be cleaned off this week. In the end I think you will agree that we addresed all of your concerns in a timely and professional manner, and that your deck looks great and is properly protected. We hope that you will continue to use our services in the future and look forward to serving your exterior wood care needs.

The workmen were efficient and worked very hard, They were careful to wash off the coating spray as it came off the roof onto the driveway or plants. They protected the windows. They cleaned up very well. They did a great job.
Description of Work: We have a wood shake roof that had a green tinge to it due to our extensive shade. Andy was very helpful when he looked at the roof and explaining what needed to be done. Two visits were required, one to apply mild detergent to kill any fungus growth and then rinse thoroughly. On the next visit, a couple of weeks later, the roof was washed off again, several loose or deteriorated shingles were replaced or repaired and a Sta-Brite coating was applied matching the coating that we had had before.

I've had better service in the past. I have a bench on the deck and stones surrounding the deck to keep the dog from going underneath the deck. In prior years, when the stones were moved, someone came back a day or so later to put them and the bench back. Not a big deal, but different from what happened in the past.

I haven't used them for a couple of years now. They cleaned and resealed the deck and the pergola. They also cleaned and resealed some teak wood furniture. They were very professional, came on time and worked very well. I am not letting them down but the only concern with them was I was getting furniture and other things for two years from them but they were behind the standards. I don't have any bad things to tell about them. It lasted longer and they did a good job. I tried another company and that was of the same standard too.
Description of Work: I used Pro Woodcare for deck maintenance and wooden furniture. The last time I used them was about three years ago.

First we called multiple times to have the step replaced. We had retaining wall work done and needed this step to get onto the deck. They were very slow to respond to our requests to build the step. We asked them to perform this service since they had the correct stain and had been staining this deck since 2002. That was only the start of our problems. When the finally replaced the step we asked them to perform the required staining of the deck. Unfortunately they let stain drip on our new stone patio below and did not use a drop cloth. The solvent they used to clean the deck also stained our stone patio, which the owner denied having responsibility for. They also dropped stain on our retaining walls and our house. I had the owner of the company come out to look at his work and he refused to pay for the damages. We needed to hire a lawyer to get any money out of him. He refused to settle in a cordial way or take any responsibilty for his actions. We had to have the lawyer force him to contact his insurance company since he stated "I have never needed to use my insurance and I will not contact them". We eventually did not recoup the cost of the damages due to the owner and the company's insurance company not taking responsibility for the damages. We finally just accepted whatever the offer was from the insurance company gave us due to mounting lawyer costs and just wanting the whole thing over with. To add insult to injury the insurance company, as part of the settlement, gave us money to pay Pro Wood care for the shoddy work. We will probably have to pay about 5000$ out of pocket to clean our house, replace the damaged stone, replace the paint stained stones under the porch (of note the owner stated when we pointed out the stained stones (just turn them over and you will not see the stains"), and replace the stained caps on the retaining walls.
Description of Work: We have a deck that spans the length of our house. We have it stained every two years. They stained the deck and the hand rails and replaced a step in a place where we had retaining wall work done.

Response from Pro WoodCare Inc
What the homeowner is failing to let anyone know is that they had a stone patio installed after we had inspected the deck and provided an estimate for the refinishing. They also failed to notify us as that the sealer applied to the stone patio required 24 days of cure time before it was properly cured. While this is an unfortunate situation, it was the patio installers job to notify the homeowner that the sealer would require this much cure time and the owners responsibility to let us know. It is possible that our detergents could have had an effect on the concrete sealer creating a cloudy appearance, but other contractors felt that the sealer was applied incorrectly to concrete with a high moisture content creating efflorescence. We cleaned all drips and replaced the stones they wanted us to replace. We however did not feel that we were responsible for replacing the entire patio. We notified our insurance carrier promptly and let them investigate. They determined that the damages were not a direct result of our work and settled accordingly. During this entire process we returned every phone call, met on site and tried our best to deal with a very angry, and hot headed customer, who at one time even threatened bodily harm. It was very unsettling given the fact that he is a health professional. The fact that we have maintained their deck since 2002 with wonderful results and repeat business should tell everyone a lot about our quality service.

Pro WoodCare repaired and restored the exterior of our log home. Tim Cross and Nate, a carpenter, came to our home and inspected the exterior in order to give us a quote. They sent us a quote/contract which was time-and-materials for the repairs and the caulking and lump-sum for the restoration. We requested a few additions to the contract language which they accommodated. Later, we agreed on the contract and made a 10% payment. When winter was over, carpenters replaced some decayed logs in the walls of the home and under the porches. In preparation for the pressure washing of the logs, my husband moved our furniture away from the walls so that a couple of the contractors could watch for leaks inside the house, wrap a couple items in plastic to protect them, wipe up any water with towels, etc. They buffed the logs, caulked all joints, and applied preservative/stain after covering all windows, exterior light fixtures, etc. (even doorbell buttons). Before leaving, they touched up every detail. Throughout the project, crew members responded quickly and politely to all requests, and they always seemed anxious to be sure that we were pleased. The final bill was easy to understand, complete, and corresponded with our estimates of time spent and materials used for repairs and caulking. Pro WoodCare lived up to its name in every respect.

Company gave us an estimate and scheduled the work immediatly after we gave them a small deposit. Rain delayed our project but as soon as the weather cleared, they did their work. One spot was missed with stain so I called them and they sent a tech out the next day to finish it. Overall, a very nice job.

My first call was to Pro WoodCare, since we had them out just last fall to clean and treat our roof. Replacement of this cap is probably not something they would normally do, but their estimator (Andy) came out shortly after I called and said that they would install the vent cap for no charge. I had called them in late winter and Andy said that they would be able to do this early in the spring when their crew was in the area. Several weeks later, after the snow had melted off the roof, I followed up with a phone call. They didn't have a crew scheduled to be in the area for another couple of weeks, but since I called, Andy said he would come out and take care of the work himself. And he did. The vent cap was installed in short order. Andy even inspected the roof for wind damage (given recent high winds). Excellent service.
Description of Work: The metal rain-guard cap on an exhaust pipe from one of our bathroom exhaust fans had corroded and blown off the roof. Replacement of the cap was a straightforward job and I had already purchased a replacement cap, but it involved climbing to the edge of our rather steep-grade cedar-shake roof. It required someone with the proper safety gear and experience working on a slippery cedar roof.

Excellent! The company was flexible in how they worked with us, giving us the option to purchase supplies and do the work ourselves, or have them do it. They did the job within 2 weeks. There were a few small stains on the siding which they promptly cleaned up. They added on a fuel surcharge to the bill, which was a surprise. There is mention of it in the fine print, but I felt that it should have been stated up front in the estimate. They removed it from the bill.

Tom was prompt & very polite. His recommendations were very clear & will be easy to follow if needed. We will absolutely continue to have them do our deck maintenance in the years to come.
Description of Work: I consider what Tom did to be work, although it was probably an estimate. They had done deck maintenance work for us last year. I recently noticed some areas of the wood that concerned me because some of the round cores of the ''knots'' were actually falling through. I didn't know if it was termites, if it was normal, or if we needed more maintenance. I left a voicemail on 7/2 & received a call on 7/5. Tom came out on 7/6. He called me to give me all the options & said that it was normal. He explained in detail what I should do if this continued & to call him if I have further questions.

I'm pretty happy that all of this work was completed in April! I had very little personal interaction once the contract was signed. My only disappointment is that they indicated they would be here on a Wednesday and didn't show up until the following Monday at 6:30 PM with no notice. I did not follow up as I was out of town and another member of the family took the phone call. Overall, it wasn't a big deal.

They arrived on schedule, setting up their equipment, clearing the deck furniture and power cleaning the deck on the first day. Letting it dry for several days, they returned and applied the water proofing. This gave it a like new color and with the water now beading instead of soaking into the wood, I'm sure it is doing the job.
Description of Work: We have about 1600 square feet of decking on two levels plus a stair case between the two. They power washed the entire area. They then put a Water sealant and preservation to the wood deck and stair surfaces.
