Deck Builder reviews across the US

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.

100% Yes, go with SBWR. They were affordable and did an amazing job on our worn out deck. Our deck was in desperate need of care. Nails split the wood, the fascia was not level, and the deck was gray.

After the work of SBWR, the deck was washed, sanded, repaired, and stained. The deck looks so beautiful that you would think we have put in a brand new deck.

The arrival times of the crew were exact, and they crew did a great job of taking care of the job needed in a timely manner.

I highly recommend SBWR to anyone looking to repair or restore a deck.

I am very pleased with the work of South Bay Wood Restoration. My project was to strip paint from my Teak outdoor dining table and 10 chair set and restore the natural Teak finish. I called a number of other vendors before calling South Bay. None of the other vendors would even give me a quote saying that this project was too labor intensive, not large enough or too challenging. South Bay stood out with their responsiveness and true desire to address my request.

In particular, I was impressed with the process that SBWR used to determine whether to take on my project. They took one chair to their office and stripped off the paint to determine what stripping products to use and how long the project would take. This enabled them to provide me a reasonable quote and a date that the project could be completed.

South Bay did a truly amazing job getting all of the paint off bringing back the beautiful natural teak color of my outdoor dining room set. Additionally, they accomplished the entire project in one day on-site at my home. I am happy to recommend SBWR. They were professional, courteous and provided great service at a fair price.

Richard and his team did a wonderful job from A to Z. Estimator was very knowledgeable. The workers were friendly and professional. They came back after the work was done to help me put back all the furniture : super nice! Richard answered all my questions and his communication was always efficient and valuable. I would totally recommend for any deck refinishing.

WOW - what a difference. I have refinished the deck a few times over the years...three times by myself (a LOT of work) and once by a painter I had used previously. The results were good, but the job done by South Bay Wood Restoration is superior. My deck hasn't looked this good in years. The process was great too - good communication up front, estimator was thorough and explained everything really well, scheduling was done to fit my calendar and the whole job was completed quickly. When it needs to be refinished again, I will be going back to them. Already referred them to my folks and to another friend.

We highly recommend working with the team at South Bay Wood Restoration. They were timely and clear with their communication, accommodating to our needs and requests, friendly to work with, and were very efficient with their work, leaving us with a great looking deck. We plan to use them again in the future for any other restoration needs.

I would give these guys 6 stars if I could. They were super responsive when setting up a time for the estimate. When they came out, they were courteous. These guys work hard and are focused on getting the job done right professionally. We have a deck that hasn't been maintained for over 10 years. They spent 3 days to power wash, bleach, sand, and stain our deck and now we have a deck that looks like new. Pricing was super competitive, The team came on time each time, and got the job done (AND RIGHT) within the estimate time, and they are very respectful to your home and neighbors. Highly recommend these guys.

South Bay Wood Restoration was one of the few companies that we called that replied promptly to us and actually came out to look at the deck that we were in need of restoring. They were polite and had a competitive bid.

They worked with us on our color preference. They use Preserva Wood oil based products. Their preferred color is Cedar but we went with Pacific Redwood for more of a reddish tone. They worked around the winter rains and holidays to wash and treat the deck at an optimal time. The crew is a family that was professional and courteous at all times.

We are pleased with the final product. They did a good job lightening the weathered deck, applying the stain evenly and included our trellis. Would recommend again.

They did an awesome job at my backyard to restore the decks. I found their approach really professional. Every step in the process to restore the decks was smoother. I originally had an idea of replacing the decks which would have costed me so much but I am glad South Bay Wood Restoration as they were clear that my decks would look really good when I just restore them by washing, power bleaching and staining them. I am indeed happy with how the decks look now in my backyard. I will highly recommend them to any of my friends looking to restore the wooden decks.
