I highly recommend Guillermo and his team at Proper Finish. We first hired them last Spring to rejuvenate IPE decks that hadn’t been maintained during several years of hard wear; they did an excellent job of bringing them back to life. Guillermo is highly professional, organized and kept us informed as weather sometimes affected scheduling; he and his teams are a pleasure to work with.

Guillermo and his team were a pleasure to work with. They really listen and it shows in the finished product, outstanding refinished 3 storey deck. I highly recommend Proper Finish, fair pricing and a contractor you can trust, a rare find!
