 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've loved our deck since Woodridge built it for us in 2024.  This summer, we thought the deck might be ruined when it was stained by a continuous barrage of sappy pine cone scales from a neighbor's yard.  Powerwashing did nothing.  We called Woodridge and they sent a crew that scrubbed a solution on the deck that removed all of the stains.  We are very grateful to have our deck looking great again.  Thank you Woodridge!

From the design showroom to the permit application process, to the actual buildout, everyone was efficient and highly skilled. Luis was outstanding, we are so happy with the final product.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team was very professional.  Took the time to exam the job as it was a deconstruct  of our Pergola that collapsed over our pool.
Another company poorly installed  it.

They made sure to disassemble the structure without any damage to our pool.
Awesome job done by Tom & Alberto.

They both worked with the.skill of a 20 year professional.
Definitely will be using this company with any deck , pergola , or gazebo work in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We selected Woodridge Deck & Gazebo for our deck rebuild after meeting with Erich, who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with our planning. The teardown and construction teams were detailed, thorough and polite even while working during excessive heat at times. We love our finished deck and would highly recommend the Woodridge team.
