We recently hired John to restore and stain our large deck and pool area, and we are extremely happy with the results. The deck was in rough shape with peeling stain, weathered boards, and several areas that needed repair. John took the time to explain the process, replace damaged boards, sand the deck properly, and help us select the right stain color. He was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with throughout the project. The finished deck looks beautiful and completely transformed our backyard. The workmanship was excellent, the project was completed as promised, and the price was very reasonable for the amount of work involved.

Unknown but Mighty ! John ( owner and manager ) and his staff did what they said, in the time frame they said ( weather interfered ) minus storms. What was great was they didn't " Power Thru " and do a fast but sloppy/ incomplete job ( like LeafGuard tried too ) I'd use Java and John again and again. The crew worked hard and John was there to supervise and check things out. He is great with customers and his guys and has 40 years experience The price was outstanding, but they'll work matched that if something much more expensive

John was a pleasure to work with. I needed my mother's deck sealed and stained. He came to look at the deck and give an estimate. But he also saw some flaws on how the deck was built, which could have caused future problems. John suggested a remedy and a great estimate for the additional work that needed to be done! The deck is more secure and sealed. Thank you, John, for your work, your respectfulness, your professionalism! Thank you for the critique on the garage entry door as well.
