Normally I would not leave a review such as this, but I really wish I had known about the quality of their work before we hired them. We had Absolute stain our deck. Upon completion we recognized the quality was not the same as we were used to. Some boards looked like they had not been sanded adequately as the stain did not take, there were paint brush streaks on boards & railings, stain drippings, etc. By the Fall, we realized how bad the deck looked. We called Absolute, and I have to say, their customer service was wonderful. They came out, acknowledged our concerns and agreed it needed to be stained again. Fast forward to this summer. The same gentleman was back. Unfortunately the end result was no different. This time, they even managed to stain around a garden tool my husband had accidently left on the deck, stain on the bricks, steaks marks, etc. We called again, they came out and once more acknowledged our concerns and agreed to restain areas.
We have had deck companies stain our deck before- and have never had an issue. The reason we called Absolute is because the company we usually use was booked solid for the summer. Big mistake on our part. The quality of workmanship is not comparable. I recognize that deck staining is a big job and our summer weather doesn't always make it easy. But having your deck stained costs a lot of money and unfortunately we will be doing it again, sooner than later. For this reason, I would not recommend Absolute for deck staining.
