I contacted a deck builder to install a new deck at my home, and I needed it done fast before a party, so timing really mattered. They responded right away, set up a quote appointment quickly, and gave me a very fair price compared with other deck contractors using the same materials. Their crew was organized,… Read full review

Cole and his crew just completed our deck build, and I am very impressed with company: Patio Installers.

Nathan did an excellent job repairing, refinishing, and restoring our Ipe wood deck. He answered the phone right away, came out the next day to look at the deck, and sent the quote later that same day.

Absolutely fantastic deck builders! The team was very attentive and provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. Clinton did a wonderful job building our deck in Sylmar—it turned out beautiful and was completed much quicker than I expected. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a new deck or outdoor space.
