Alex, Frank and team worked with us diligently and followed up promptly. They gave us proactive suggestions where we needed, and all our questions and concerns and were flexible with our needs. I would 100% recommend them to anyone. Who needs a patio refresh or a new one installed. Thank Alex, Frank and team Sun Block Patio Covers!

From the very beginning, Alex was professional, responsive, and communicative. He took the time to explain the entire process, including the timeline with and without a permit, so we knew exactly what to expect. We decided to move forward with getting a permit to avoid any potential city issues or fees down the road. Alex handled the entire permitting process for us making it completely stress-free. Once construction began, Alex, Frank, and their team were fantastic. They were hardworking, respectful, detail-oriented, and clearly took pride in their work. They also kept my backyard clean throughout the project. The craftsmanship and quality of our patio cover exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a company that values communication, quality workmanship, and excellent customer service, we highly recommend Sun Block Patios!

We've owned our home for 5 years and have done a lot of projects, from a full pool build to smaller repairs, so I've worked with plenty of contractors. Because of that, my expectations are high. We decided to go with Juan and Raul for our patio, and I'm really glad we did. Their team showed up not just on time, but early on the day of demo and installation. They worked efficiently and completed everything in just one day, which honestly exceeded our expectations. What I appreciated most was how easy it was to communicate with both Juan and Raul. They were responsive, patient with my questions, and very open to making adjustments to fit exactly what we wanted. I never felt brushed off or rushed, which is rare. The workmanship turned out clean and solid. The structure feels sturdy, everything looks well-aligned, and the finish came out exactly how we envisioned. So far we're really happy with everything.... now we'll see how it holds up once we get some rain I'll follow-up with some pictures.

    Good finished work, but this experience changed my opinion significantly…read more TL;DR: I previously gave Hicks 5 stars after our first project, and they still feature that review on their website. We hired them again and have now spent tens of thousands of dollars with them. Both pergolas look very good. On this second project, Hicks chose to handle an unexpected sprinkler conflict rather than have me bring someone else in, the repair failed, and it appears they never performed the basic test to make sure it worked. When I raised it, the owner became hostile, insulted me, and hung up on me. I later gave Hicks a written opportunity to inspect or fix it before anyone else touched the repair and received no response. That experience changed my opinion of the company significantly. I hired Hicks again because our first project had been a genuinely good experience. Across both jobs we had worked through material and scheduling delays, possible conflicts with power lines and solar panels, and changes involving the patio flooring without major problems. Both finished pergolas look very good. The sprinkler issue came up immediately before excavation. Nothing in the estimate or our earlier discussions gave me reason to think the footings would extend outside the existing concrete patio and into the grass. I first realized that when I saw the red excavation markings and noticed they conflicted with a sprinkler head and the line serving other heads. I raised it immediately. Since the contract says Hicks is not responsible for sprinkler routes, placement, or repairs, I specifically offered to coordinate and pay for someone else to handle it. Hicks told me that was unnecessary, that they had the fittings they needed, and that their crew would cut, move, and reconnect the line. I took that as a professional courtesy and relied on what they told me. While they were excavating, I also offered to turn the sprinkler zone on remotely from my phone so they could test the repair. They did not take me up on it. Since the system is easy to activate in person, I assumed they would simply test it themselves. Project delays had compressed the schedule, and we were rushing to finish the walkthrough and final payment before I left on a business trip the next day. We carefully checked the pergola itself, which looked good, but forgot the sprinklers. A day or two later, while traveling, I realized we had missed that check. I activated the zone remotely and could see through my backyard camera that something looked wrong. Rather than bother Hicks based only on a remote view, I waited until I got home to verify it. Several heads that were clearly working immediately before excavation no longer worked, and a substantial amount of water was leaking beside the new installation. The zone was effectively unusable for around two weeks, and parts of the lawn it normally waters developed obvious dead and brown patches. Hicks later acknowledged in writing that "a fitting must've came loose" and that perhaps there had not been enough glue. The repair itself is not what turned this into such a big issue for me. The way it was handled did. During about a five-minute phone call, the owner got heated and defensive, used foul language, called me names, spoke disrespectfully, and hung up on me. He later told me that I "don't know how this works" and that he was not going to read my written explanation. This was completely unlike anything I had experienced with Hicks before. After that, I sent a written notice giving Hicks an opportunity to inspect or arrange to fix the problem before anyone else touched it. I got no response. After the deadline passed, I had the area excavated and repaired. The sprinkler pipe was physically separated at a connection in the area of the leak, which I documented with photos. The system is now working again. What bothers me most is that Hicks chose to take on the sprinkler work, apparently did not do the most basic test afterward, and then treated me this way when I raised the problem. That is especially disappointing because they previously handled a warranty issue very well. A few months after our first pergola was installed, the integrated lighting controller failed after apparently getting water in it. Hicks came back promptly and fixed it at no charge, which increased my confidence in using them again. Both pergolas look very good and Hicks deserves credit for that. But part of hiring a contractor is trusting how they handle problems after final payment. After this experience, I no longer feel comfortable recommending Hicks, I am concerned about relying on them for potential future warranty work, and I would not hire them again unless this is made right. That is why I am updating my previous 5-star review to 2 stars. I will update this review again if and when the situation is resolved. EDIT: Not a warranty claim. I offered to hire a pro; Hicks chose to do the repair, so they still had to use reasonable care.

    Update 3: Now I'm some secretly disrespectful person (first I'm hearing of my alleged bad behavior)…read morewho plotted all along to take screenshots of our communications (that live in text threads) for deceitful purposes. Please stop updating your responses to change the story and accuse me of some new bad behavior. The texts are our communications, I didn't call you and "press you". There are no other communications. They also speak for themselves. Adding a screenshot of your prior edited comment. Update 2: Last update and lowered my rating from a 2 to a 1 star to reflect the now edited response that no longer says I "haggled" for a faster time and suggests for the first time that the glass didn't break "on its own". So I'm adding a picture of the glass, and another text screenshot where Mike refers to spontaneous breakage and asking the glass company if it's under warranty. Not sure why he's ask them if it was under warranty if it didn't break on its own. Update: I am not surprised that Mike responded. I never "haggled" to get it done sooner. If I had, I'd be pretty bad at haggling for it to take 3.5 months for it to not get done. But as I said, I have receipts. I would not recommend working with Hicks. I have had a series of issues, but held off on a critical review since he would previously try to resolve the issues. I hired Hicks to install a patio railing. The work was done fairly quickly, but after less than a year, one of the cables had fallen off. Hicks came back and repaired it without additional cost, which I appreciated. Next I had Hicks install a glass and wood balcony. I wasn't happy with the quality of the work or the state of the job site, and again Hicks apologized and came back to make it better and clean up the mess. He was at times defensive, but again, I appreciated him fixing the errors. Less than a year after the balcony was installed, a glass panel shattered. There was no impact or area of impact, suggesting it was from a glass manufacturing defect. He told me the warranty on the glass he used was only for 6 months from installation (even for defective glass), so I'd need to pay for a new sheet of glass, but he would install it without additional charge. The glass shattered in mid October. It's now February. Hicks' communication has been really challenging. I pushed and pushed to get it installed and it took months to even get scheduled. On January 9th, the day he was supposed to arrive to install, he didn't show at the agreed upon time, and only later responded after I had reached out about him being a no-show to let me know that strong wind had blown over the replacement glass and it broke. I was very frustrated because this was January and he had initially told me it would be a few weeks to get the glass replaced (which would have been November). Had it been installed in an even remotely timely manner, it wouldn't have blown over and broken. So I asked when the new glass would arrive, he said about a week. I asked him if he could please schedule me for a couple weeks out so we have something scheduled and I wouldn't have to wait months again. He said yes, but didn't actually schedule me. I started messaging a couple times a week with no response - again, said the new glass should be arrive in about a week on January 9th. Yesterday I messaged saying I needed an update, and he told me the whole thing was too stressful and he's not doing it anymore. So I waited 3.5 months for him to replace defective glass that he had offered to replace (with me paying the cost of the glass), and then he just decided he's not going to do it. I was patient and incredibly reasonable through all of these issues, but the defensiveness and failure to communicate and follow through isn't professional. I have receipts for all of these communications.
