Our Testimonials

Dear Sir or Madam:

  I have an eighteen year old cedar deck in the yard that had been painted an ugly red followed years later by an ugly brown. There was, I thought, considerable water damage and rot. It was so appalling I decided to replace it this year. I realized I could not afford to replace it with new cedar (too expensive) and was in the midst of pricing out the cost for pressure treated when Woodsavers were recommended to me by Foran’s deck and fencing co.

  Chris was confident he could strip the paint and grime off my deck, sand and prepare the wood and refinish it in a stain that would complement the cedar. He assured me that the water damage was superficial and that underneath, the cedar was in good shape. His price quote was Very reasonable. I agreed to proceed but really, deep down, I did not think Chris could salvage this deck. My other worry was water damage in the basement with all the power washing that was to go on.

  The final result was well beyond my most optimistic expectations. Chris was able to strip away 18 years of mistakes, sand down the wood and stain it beautifully. It looks brand new. There was much less water sprayed than I thought there would be. There were no water issues at all.

  Working with Chris and his crew was a pleasure. They were very courteous, professional and personable. The worksite was always kept clean. Overnight, everything was put away. The work was very labor intensive. Despite the hot summer weather they worked throughout each day. finishing the job promptly. The final price was exactly as quoted.

  I offered to write this testimonial for Chris. I have never offered to write one before, I wish all tradesmen could possess the professionalism that Chris arid his crew displayed throughout. I can highly recommend Woodsavers.

Sincerely
J.L. Jadd


Dear Chris:

 I just had to write to thank you so much for all your hard work. You and your crew are such hard workers and do such a great job. I know my deck has many unique features with the height, the glass railing, and the extreme sun exposure but you perservered and did an excellent professional job. It looks great and I have had many compliments on its apperance. Thank you so much.

Sincerely

To whom it may concern:

This is to express my satisfaction with the job done on my deck by Chris Richards and his Woodsaver company. The work was carried out efficiently, courteously and with excellent results Chris later came to my house and demonstrated how water-repellent the coating on the deck is He poured a glass of water which beaded immediately and did not soak through into the boards. I have also found the price to be very reasonable. I would recommend Woodsaver to anyone interested in prolonging the life of their decks and other external wood surfaces.

In the spring of 2003 we decided that it was time to have our cedar deck redone. It had been built in. 1988 and had only been sealed a few times although the deck was in good shape it was in definite need of some freshening up. We spoke with Chris Richards at the London Home show and had him come out for an estimate. We arranged to have the deck done in May or June. As it turns out it was a wet spring and Chris was running behind. I called and requested that the deck be completed for the first of June because we were having a Birthday Barbecue. Chris promised to do his best and the deck was completed as promised. The deck turned out great. They came one day and washed and stripped the deck. They came back a few days later and sanded and sealed it. Everything was left very clean and there was no mess at all. The deck looked amazing. All the original beautiful cedar colour was there again. One of our neighbors looked out his window and actually thought we had put in a new deck. The deck is in full sun and is beside our swimming pool It has lasted all summer and has not faded at all. Chris and his crew did a great job and I would not hesitate to hire them again.

Sincerely,
Jack and Claudine Andrews


Dear Chris,

You and your people were by a few weeks ago to do maintenance on my front veranda and rear deck and I’d like to let you know how pleased I am with your work. In the summer of 2002 I asked you to clean and refinish the woodwork around my house because fungus was growing in places and making the surfaces treacherously slippery The entire area was gray and weather-beaten, and I was more concerned to make the surfaces safe to walk on than to improve the appearance, which I thought could not be salvaged. My own efforts to do so with chemical deck scrubbers had never produced more than a partial and temporary improvement, and only damaged the surrounding vegetation. Instead of using chemicals, you did a pressure wash followed by a sanding and refinishing. I was amazed with the results. You brought out colour and features in the old wood that made it look very handsome, and in the year that passed between your first and second visits the surfaces remained clear of fungus and safe to walk on, even in the rain. Now, after your second visit to do an annual touch up of the horizontal surfaces, the wood looks even better than it did after the first Your work has always been quick and unobtrusive, and I have appreciated your advice on what I need to do to improve and preserve the appearance of the wood around my house. I’m sure that what you have done has significantly increased its value. It has certainly increased the pleasure I take in its appearance.

Yours sincerely,
Lorrie Falkenstein


Dear Chris:

I am writing to thank you for “adding value to my property”
I have a seven year old cedar deck.
It has been professionally cleaned and stained twice in the seven years, and by the end of the summer it looked like it had never been done. Out of the two different companies that cleaned and stained for me, neither mentioned sanding.
It wasn’t until I dealt with Chris that I realized how important sanding is...
Chris and Ryan came and cleaned the deck, sanded it, and sealed it. It turned out better than it looked when it was new. You can actually run your hand across the deck and feel the smoothness without getting a wood splinter. The work was done when promised, the personal were very professional and friendly and the clean up was immaculate. Chris also offers a MAINTENANCE PACKAGE, where he comes back the following year and performs his magic. I now have a wooden garden shed with a porch in front and Chris and Ryan have also performed their magic on it. It was cleaned, sanded and sealed inside and out. It is what you would call a MASTER PIECE sifting in my back yard. I would HIGHLY recommend WOODSAVER to anyone and I would be very proud to show off their work to anyone who is considering having their outside wood preserved. Believe me; these guys are worth every penny that it costs. They are hard Working professionals
Thank you again Chris, for a JOB WELL DONE!!!

Yours truly,
Corrine Lockhart
