Life Deck Coating Installations

Donny and the Life Deck guys are amazing! We have a condo at El Cortez in San Diego. The floors were a mix of concrete and terrazzo, very uneven and ugly.
End result is a high gloss, dark grey concrete floor in our kitchen which looks like a model home
We’ve done multiple remodels and Life Deck is the absolute best contractor we have ever hired, no exception. Here’s why:
1. Bid was submitted within 48 hours and was very reasonable
2. On time: They were early or on time every day
3. Communication: They kept me or my wife involved every step of the way. They asked for feedback on the color and shine and made adjustments until it met our desired result
I cannot express how happy we are, use these guys!

These guys are awesome! We got several quotes to refinish the concrete on our pool deck. They were by far the most professional, responsive, and knowledgable about concrete coatings, and they gave us a good price! We had some existing textured concrete and some non-​textured concrete, as well as damaged coping tiles. They coated all the non-​textured concrete with a new knock-​down texture, colored the entire pool deck, and repaired our coping tiles. The guys were meticulous with masking things off and making sure our fencing, landscape and house were not affected by the work.

They did the patios in our complex. Terrible. During the summer the coating was too hot. Curt stuck to the coating and made it look terrible in the first rain. Worse, we spend thousands every couple of years to replace it.
Then we redid our patio in tile (honed for good traction outside). The Life deck ‘consultant’ said that it was not going to be water proof… Yes, tile with a polymer grout and base not ‘waterproof’ but the life deck coating that regularly peels and cracks would be.
OH. but there was good news for 6000 dollars he could remove the tile and put in ‘Life deck’. After the consultation, I had to shower.
All in all, it is a ghetto product. Total rip off and unethical.

In a word. Amazing.
They showed up on time, and cleaned up at the end of each day. The walkway and driveway coating looks amazing.
They even came back to take care of some damage our paper delivery man caused.
Would definitely recommend and use them again.

Absolutely 5 Stars! We built our home in Coronado, CA 10 years ago and have continued to fix – repair – teardown— re-​do ever since. The point is we have worked with LOTS of contractors, so we know when a job is well done. Life Deck people, Jeff, Chris & Gabe,
are the best! Period! They work with you from beginning to end making sure to meet the customers expectations and more. What a pleasant experience. We would recommend them to anyone needing deck surfacing, and everything else they do.

Life Deck put a final coat on the Desert Crete deck system of our new home and did a FIVE STAR JOB! Their salesman, Gil, was prompt for all appointments, provided us with custom samples and offered us a very reasonable bid. He remained in contact with us throughout the work and responded to our concern over a small problem with the initial coat. To our surprise, Life Deck solved the problem without question and sent Benny and his crew who not only did a superb job of re-​coating, but went over and above by repairing cracks that were developing as a result of shoddy workmanship from our general contractor’s laborer. Life Deck has top notch customer service in the field and office and stands behind their product. What more can we say … YES … THEY’RE AS GOOD AS IT GETS!

Life Deck did my front and back yard surfaces about 8 years ago and we have really enjoyed the work they did. I just had the whole area cleaned by them with a high pressure hose and resealed with the slip resistant sealer to give it the newly finished look. Jeff Marshall did the quote and was great to work with again. Leo and his crew did the work professionally and cleaned up afterwards. Thank you Life Deck for the good job.

Great people to work with. Our existing deck was dangerous and ready to fall down. Jeff Marshall was extremely helpful with advice to help us build the deck properly. He went over & above to insure we did the new construction the best way possible. The gentleman who did the installation were courteous & cheerful. They just finished yesterday but so far I am extremely happy.

we recently hired life deck to redo the concrete coating on our concrete deck surrounding our swimming pool. Our project manager was Jeff, who made the whole process very easy. He came to our house 3 times with samples to go over with me and my wife which really helped. He was very informative with ideas which really helped us make a decision. They demoed they old pebble coating that was on the deck and created a beautiful stone pattern that brought our backyard to life. Even when we had some areas we asked them to touch up, they came right back out and took care of it and would not be satisfied until we were happy.
We had our pool done at the same time and Jeff was able to coordinate a good work schedule with our pool guy which took the pressure off of us.
Once again, Thank You Life Deck, and thank you JEFF

My first introduction was to Robert. He met with me and helped coordinate a plan with another construction company to re due my deck. He was great! His team had a difficult job of removing all the old surface and redoing it completely. It rained one day during the labor intensive work and to make sure it all was done correctly he had his team come back yet another day for the staining. The job was excellent! He worked with Greyhound construction to coordinate their job along with his. Great Job! would recommend highly!

We used Life Deck to acid stain and seal our existing outdoor patio (approx 1000 sq feet). The price was fair and the work was top notch. Prior to staining they did a sample for us, which was very important as we were able to request a darker shade. The workers were polite, clean, punctual and very knowledgeable. Our patio looks better than new, and I would definitely recommend Life Deck. Thanks again Brian.

I had them coat my pool decking area about 7 years ago. Within 3 years they had to come back and redo several areas that were just breaking apart. That kept happening and after the 5 year warranty was over, I was going to have to pay, (at least labor), to have it fixed. Apparently this stuff doesn’t do well on ground that is not perfectly level and that ever has any standing water, (from slow drainage). I wish I had been told that in the beginning! It looks absolutely horrible now, and I could easily just keep breaking more pieces off and making the damaged areas bigger. Really all it takes is walking on it. I spent thousands of dollars for nothing.

My husband and I hired Life Deck to do polish concrete flooring for our bedrooms, dining and living room last year when we just purchased the house.
Larin was our Project Manager with Jason who does the work.
Larin is excellent on communicating throughout the process. From making samples on actual floor to show different colors to working around schedules due to other projects around the house at the same time. Both Jason and Larin are very accommodating.
The project ended up going over the schedule by 2 – 3 days but Larin accommodated us and ended up (literally) paying for our hotel room stay. The concrete work was clean and highly professional (with the exception of a boot print on our bedroom) — it is not too obvious but i can tell. We would definitely go with Life Deck again in our future home project.

I hired Life Deck to waterproof the balcony that was leaking into a unit below. I was given an estimate, paid the deposit and work began. Things seemed to be going okay, and when worked stopped during rain I noticed that the balcony was sloped improperly and water ran away from the drain. I contacted my project manager and said that I noticed that water was pooling and asked if it would be fixed to drain. He responded «That’s the plan.» When work began after Christmas I received a phone call that the job would require 700 more dollars to properly drain (original estimate was 1600). When I called him later that day he had claimed that since he had not heard from me he proceeded with just waterproofing and not leveling the patio. Even though I was unhappy, when the work was finished I contacted my project manager and asked how and when I should pay and never got an answer. The company called and asked for payment over a month later. I told them that I would send in a payment when I received a copy of the bill. The bill arrived on Monday, and on Tuesday I called and asked to place part of my bill on a credit card and told them that I would send in a check for the rest. On Thursday I received a letter thanking me for my partial payment but threatening to put a lien on the house if it the full balance was not paid within a week since work was completed on the 18^th of December (when in reality it was completed after Christmas. Two days later I received a letter for proof that a lien would be lifted when my check cleared.
