Deck Builder reviews in San Jose, California

I had a great experience working with Richard and his team on staining my front yard fence. Richard was highly responsive and kept me well-informed throughout the process, especially when plans needed to adjust, always setting clear expectations. The crew showed up on time and did a thorough, detail-oriented job , from pressure washing and applying brightener to staining the fence. The final result looks fantastic and gives me confidence it will last for years. The stain also helped blend in the screw marks, making them much less noticeable.

I talked with a handful of companies about staining the cedar siding on my house and chose to go with 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 super 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 Richard wrote me a detailed 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.

When the time comes again to restain our cedar, I’ll definitely be giving Giovanni and Richard a call.

😊We had a great experience with South Bay Wood Restoration. Giovanni and his team did an amazing job sanding, cleaning, and restaining our cedar facade. The final color match with our front door and gate is absolutely perfect. You can really tell they care about the details and take pride in their work. The whole team was professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Our house looks refreshed and beautiful again. Highly recommend!

Responded quickly and reasonable price. Would recommend!

Very knowledgeable and helpful in making decisions. I will call them again to service my deck in due time.
Thank you.

Using them again and they did a great job with our deck.

Richard and his team did a great job. It was pleasure to work with Richard. Great experience.

South Bay Wood Restoration did great job. I am a return customer two and half years ago.

Great company. Sanded, power washed and stained several decks in 3 days at a good price. Came out looking awesome. Thanks guys!

Terrible that I have contacted the company for more than. Month and they have not responded.
I think they close for good.
Very sad cause they were fair with they pricing.

After a year and a half of neglect,our outdoor furniture(table and chairs)were really faded and dull.We contacted South Bay to come out and restore them.From start to finish the job took only a day.The young man gave us a choice of a clear or a slightly darker finish which we chose.The result was fabulous and it came out better than the first day we brought it home.Both of the young men were courteous and friendly

Did a great job refinishing the deck and fixing up some parts that were getting loose. Was fast and responsive.

Sanded, stained, and repaired my aging deck. After finishing the job, I reached out to have them fix a couple of spots that didn't stain well, and they promptly sent folks Professional, reliable, and fairly priced. Highly recommend.

South Bay re-stained our 7 yr. old patio furniture set. It was showing signs of aging as we had neglected it for years. The South Bay person who re-stained it was courteous and very thorough. After he was finished it looked like new again! I think we are going to get at least another 7 yrs. of life out of it thanks to South Bay.

Efficient, fast, and a job well done. These guys refinished my deck, top of a retaining wall, and my kids' playhouse and climbing. Definitely recommend and they were less expensive than other quotes!

South Bay's team of Richard/Giovanni/crew did an awesome job at eliminating the damage to our redwood stairs done by a trolley scratching the edges. The whole process was very smooth, the work done very professionally, and the final result is really great.

South Bay restored our lower deck and steps down to our pool area. That took what was frankly an embarrassment to something that we are proud to point out. We had no idea that under that horrible surface we might find a super red wood deck that now looks new. I cannot recommend them more highly if you have a gem that needs polishing!

We hired South Bay Wood Restoration and the team did an excellent job restoring our teak patio furniture well beyond our expectations at a very reasonable price. They were pleasant and easy to work with and took care in getting the job done right. I would highly recommend them for your wood restoration job!

We've gone with SBWR twice now to power wash and stain our deck and fencing, and we'll continue working with them going forward. The quality is top-notch, the work is done fast and on time, and the company is responsive and easy to deal with.

We hired South Bay to do our Ipe wood deck - Richard/Giovanni explained the process clearly, sent an invoice with range and provided several touch up services until we were satisfied with the outcome.

They were easy to reach via email, text, phone and very professional. Would recommend!

The exterior of my house is comprised of IPE wood and started to fade/dry out due to the constant sunlight and weather conditions. After some quick googling online, it appeared that I needed to apply some oil to bring the wood back to its original glory. The task seemed too daunting to do by myself, so I found South Bay Wood Restoration through Yelp. I gave them a call, and they were quick to respond and answer any questions that I had. The next day, they were able to come out to my house and provide a quote (that I thought was priced very competitively) for the job. An electronic copy of the quote was sent to me soon after with details about the job and materials used. Any follow-up questions I had were quickly answered via email. Due to their busy schedule, the work was initially going to be scheduled a few weeks out, but they were able to squeeze me in sooner, which was quite delightful. South Bay Wood Restoration did the job in two days; one day for power washing the exterior of the house and sanding down any pre-existing abnormalities, and another day for the oil application. The team performed the work with great diligence and care, leaving the area spotless at the end of each day. The team had to remove the wooden plaque with my house number to apply the oil, but they were happy to return and re-attach at my request. Throughout the process, I could reach South Bay Wood Restoration with any questions (such as any potential health hazards of the oil to children, etc.), and they were quick to respond. Almost 2 weeks have passed since the oil was applied, and the results are amazing! The IPE wood looks spectacular, and I am very pleased with the work. I give South Bay Wood Restoration 100% of my trust and would recommend them to anyone looking for exterior home IPE wood restoration.
