Richard was great with all of my decks. He was communicative throughout the process and was able to work around my schedule. The finish looks great and I feel like a learned a lot about caring for my decks walking through the work both before and after.

Owner Richard A. And his crew with Deck Doctors are very professional and did an amazing quality job with my siding project. They replaced all the siding panels that had dry rot down to matching up the paint to the little details of finding the right siding and metal strips for a house that was built in 1989. Looking at it you can't even tell where they replaced the siding. Job well done and I will defiantly use Deck Doctors for future projects! Jason Karg

Richard provided a great professional service. The deck is simply awesome: Richard and his team have shown constantly a great attention to details and high quality, without any compromise. Unfortunately we have had some issues on timing and deadline management, but they did their best to fix that, working even during night with lights on their head to have the job finished.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I took a home inspection course and now studying to be a certified home inspector.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I specialize in wood structure repair, painting and/or staining of residential or commercial properties. Some wood structures including decks, docks, trellis, pergolas, overhangs and fences. Other services include pressure washing and staining or sealing of Redwood and Cedar siding or roofs and pressure washing and sealing of most types of masonry surface.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I did a project for the T.V. show Tiny House Nation a few months ago that I'm really proud of because I would not have landed that job if I had not obtained my second contractors license which allows me to new construction and repairs to decks and other wood structures. As well as purchasing both General Liability and Workers Comp Insurance.
