Gennifer Tate

Golden State replaced my old redwood deck that was rotting away. I was impressed with the Carmen and Johnathan who sold me on the idea of a Trex deck. The work was outstanding and the installers paid attention to every little detail. Appreciated that each night they cleaned up. This is a 400 square foot deck that took about 2 weeks to complete. I highly recommend Golden State Builders Group.

A wonderful company that we look forward to working with again in the future. Also, a shout out to all of the wonderful workers, especially Jonathan!

I am very pleased with the work Golden State Builders did on rebuilding a 40 year old wood deck. The project was done with great skill, and I love the look of the new Trex decking! Project manager Kaleem was very personable and accommodating, and the workers did an excellent job transforming my back yard.
