They did a fantastic job building my deck cover and upgrading my patio space. I worked on several home improvements during the warmer months, and this deck project was by far my best choice. I got a few estimates from different contractors, and this team not only gave me the best quote, but also shared the best…

When you have a leaky deck balcony, finding a deck builder you can trust can be hard. i called six contractors for estimates on the deck repair and waterproofing work. Two were too busy to even come out, and another was too far away and only gave a rough price without really looking at the deck surface. One company…

I needed an old backyard pergola removed and replaced because several support posts had badly rotted at the base. Donovan and the crew arrived fast, took down the worn structure, and built a beautiful new deck pergola with great craftsmanship at a fair price, all in one day. I was honestly surprised that a deck…

We had a deck cover and patio shade structure installed, and it has made a huge difference for our outdoor space. I only wish we had added it sooner. The deck builder used quality Alumawood materials, and the finished cover looks great and works perfectly for relaxing outside and keeping the area cooler in the sunny…

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.

I recently worked with Patio builders to upgrade my backyard deck, and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. The IPE decking boards and accessories I received were top-notch—smooth surfaces, straight boards, no cracks, and the quality was obvious. Delivery arrived right when promised, and Frederick, who…

I had an excellent experience working with this deck builder for my backyard project. They transformed my patio area and added stylish, chess-patterned hardscape walkways that really enhance the whole outdoor space. The new patio cover they built has made relaxing outside much more comfortable, especially during…

The team was fantastic to work with! They always responded quickly and made sure we had all the details we needed for our HOA and city approvals. The deck design matched exactly what we had in mind, and everything was scheduled smoothly. The craftsmanship is top-notch. We would absolutely choose them again for any…

Patio builders did a fantastic job building our deck. Their price was fair—not the lowest, but not the highest either. After getting a few estimates, we chose them because of their honest approach. Frederick, the team lead, was very easy to work with and always made any adjustments we asked for. The crew worked well…
