David did a fantastic job with our deck and screen porch. Each were close to a year old and had never been stained. Beaten by the harsh sun and David brought it back to life! Local, professional service from a purely genuine person. I look forward to other projects with David’s Deck Restoration and will recommend them to all my friends and family.

Outstanding deck restoration work! David transformed our weathered and aging deck. What impressed me the most was his attention to detail and professionalism from start to finish. He provided a thorough assessment upfront, explained the restoration process clearly, and delivered exactly what he promised.
The quality of work is exceptional. Our deck looks brand new! I highly recommend for anyone looking for quality deck restoration services.
