Dave (owner) came over for a consultation on deck repair. He was forthcoming and personable, told me the deck was fine just needed replacing the top rails. While here I mentioned we've always wanted a solid roof on our patio cover, which runs the entire width of our south-facing backyard. We decided to go with his recommendation of translucent polycarbonate panels. His crew replaced all damaged wood, added reinforced bracing and painted the entire structure. Couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommended! read more

Dave built us a pergola for our outdoor kitchen and he did not disappoint. From our first meeting we knew that not only would our expectations be met but our finished pergola would exceed our vision paving the way for collaboration with Jessica at SD Grill Pros and Marc at Sundancer Pools. We wanted a pergola with only two posts with secluded lighting. Dave came up with the perfect plan - from start to finish Dave timely answered all our questions - had onsite meetings and all this right after having open heart surgery. Truly amazing. We are happy grillers. Thank you Dave for all your efforts. read more

Dave is a kind and honorable man. We've worked with several deck builders in San Diego and Dave has more knowledge than anyone else you will find. He will put his decades of experience to work for you to find solutions that are beautiful, cost-effective, and safe. read more

We recently had our concrete stairs, platform, and deck railing demoed and rebuilt by Dave and Dennis. This was by far the easiest contractor we have ever worked with. Their attention to detail and ability to solve problems, was one of a kind. Our finished project far exceeded our expectations. We are very thankful for this team's work and communication. We would not hesitate recommending this company. They are worth the wait! We can't wait to work with them again. read more

I originally called Fraser Decks to see if they could fix an old, dilapidated gazebo in my backyard. I spoke to the owner, Dave, on the phone and sent him some pics of my gazebo issue. The price he quoted me on the phone was too high for my budget, but he admitted he wouldn't pay that much to fix the gazebo either. He then flipped the script and gave me the name and number of the handyman that HE uses when he needs one. His honesty and straight forwardness earns him a 5 star rating and future consideration for any decks or patios I might decide to build. And you may ask, who was this magic handyman that I ended up using? Well, Smokin' Joe doesn't advertise, and you won't find him on Yelp (I promised I wouldn't start a Yelp page for him), his work comes from personal recommendations from his clients, and he's got enough to keep him busy till retirement. So, thanks Dave, your friend Joe is the real deal, just like you. read more

Fraser Decks & Patio Covers just completed the renovation of my deck. They added some structural supports, rebuilt the stairs, and replaced the slats with Timbertech composite decking and replaced the railings with Timbertech railings. They did an outstanding job. I had received multiple quotes and, truthfully, Fraser's quote was certainly not the cheapest. But after multiple communications with Dave Fraser, owner, I was convinced that he was knowledgeable, honest, responsible, and would do the job well. I was right on all counts. The team that did the project was reliable, diligent and very careful in their work, and Dave was dependable and trustworthy. I'm very happy with the experience and the result. I recommend them highly. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience! Dave Fraser and his team were professional and courteous. Dave gave us tons of information regarding the materials which allowed us to participate in decisions based on our needs and budget. They did an amazing job on our deck and came in on budget. The team cleaned up our yard every day after they were done working. The deck is beautiful, and we couldn't be happier. read more

Fraser Decks and Patio Covers - Decks & Railing Near Me - Escondido, California

Dave Fraser removed several levels of old wooden steps and small walls and replaced them with Azek materials at my home several years ago and did a fantastic job. Beautiful results, very nice work crew, 100% happy with how the project looks. In addition, in the last three or four years I have called a Dave several times for advice and for small adjustments and he has always been immediately responsive. Outstanding customer service, especially after the job is done. Fraser Decks has my highest possible recommendation, and this comes from my wife and I who are very detail oriented and particular about how our work is done. read more

We relocated to Southern California from a home where we had a powered Louver "pergola" for many years and absolutely loved it. We wanted to replicate it in California and my Midwest dealer recommended Sundance Awnings and that their best installer in Southern California was Fraser Decks and Patio Covers. Dave Fraser drove a considerable distance and I immediately connected with him as his personality fit the bill. His reputation precedes him and I was happy from the get-go. He looked over our existing wood pergola and we discussed options and not once did he ever push additional sales of curtains, drapes, lights, etc. What was an unexpected recommendation was when I asked him what he would do. He said he wouldn't do anything. He would not replace my existing pergola. I was pleasantly flabbergasted whereas he could have been pushy to make a sale and instead he made the recommendation. I insisted I write him a review that reflected his professionalism and his honest recommendation and words don't serve me of how impressed I was. If I have occasion to do business with Fraser Decks and Patio Covers, there will be no doubt that they are "the real deal". I am absolutely confident that my time with him would be consistent with the quality and honesty of his work. read more

Working with Dave was easy and efficient. His recommendations were spot on, and and the end result with our new patio cover is perfect. We could not be happier. One of the key reasons we chose Fraser is that they were willing to work with us on some customization that the other company we talked to would not allow. These turned out great and make our patio cover look a bit more upscale and custom. We recommend Fraser highly. read more

I need to start by saying that Dave and his company did not end up working on our project. However when I reached out he took a lot of his valuable time to talk through and explore our project. He ended up providing us a referral for another company (West Coast Deck) that bettered suited our needs. It's not often that someone will take as much time to understand your needs and point you in the right direction even theough they are not doing the work! I truly appreciate the time Dave spent discussing the project. read more

This review is about Dave Fraser advising us NOT to have him build an attached pergola in our back yard. Fraser Decks and Patio Covers is the third vendor we've talked to and the first to explain that roof mounts for an attached pergola should be installed above the outside wall of the home. This would have resulted in a pergola "ceiling" that was way too high. After talking through options, it became clear that none were desirable. Instead of pushing us to go for something that would not make us happy in the long run, Dave suggested we look into cantilevered umbrellas as a much less expensive alternative. read more

Dave and his team did an excellent job in helping me design and build my cantilevered pergola for my outdoor kitchen. Great communication, attention to detail and the highest quality work. I'm in the construction business and would highly recommend their company! read more

Buyer beware. While the work appears to be quality work, they do a bait and switch where they provide an "estimate" that is at most 2/3rds of the actual price. Then once you get going, they point out that they wrote some confusing inconsistent language in the contract that says that 1/3rd of the total cost is not even addressed by the "estimate". My project was 133% of the estimated price and I did not know anything until there were huge holes dug in my backyard. Do not trust their pricing. read more

We were lucky to have a consultation with Dave Fraser at Fraser Decks and Patio Covers even though we knew that our project of replacing two backyard decks (being not in San Diego) was too far for his crew. I promise that you will never meet a kinder human and more knowledgeable deck guy. His insight was invaluable and our now just finished decks would not have been nearly as great if it weren't for him and his advice. We had a tricky situation with some water issues and Dave gave us a solution that no one else came up with. If you are anywhere in the San Diego area use him! And thank you Dave for all your help! read more

Dave and his crew built a beautiful deck for our house. He was wonderful to work with, so very response and helpful. The crew worked very hard and were so pleasant. They tidied up very well when they were done. A 5+ star experience all around!! read more

Honest and great customer service and knowledge about decks. Didn't end up installing one so review is based on their business communication and knowledge. Seems like a great business to work with. read more

The communication problems were resolved and i actually used them to build my deck and pour sidewalks. They were professional and completed the job in a timely fashion for a reasonable price. read more

My experience with this company was poor. I got an estimate from them for a simple elevated deck frame. Footings for 10 posts, 10 beams & 80 joists. No decking, no railing. Just the frame. The bid was $91000 (Materials & labor). When I talked to them about this ridiculous price they claimed I was ignorant and that my design would not pass code and thus not be permitted. They were dead wrong. My plans passed a structural engineering check and a permit was issued without issue. I had another licensed contractor build this deck frame. Total cost $34000. (Materials & labor) Fraser Decks jacked up the material price by 15%, added $2000 to pay for their employees gasoline. And had $5000 worth of added material that was not needed at all. They claimed it would take over 500 man hours of work at $94 per hour. My contractor took 230 man hours at $50 / man hr. They seem to have a lot of great reviews from others. But they made huge mistakes on my estimate and for some reason refused to admit they screwed something up with the bid. Instead they tried to demonize me claiming I was a person who did nothing but write negative reviews. A company who can't admit they screwed up is not a company I'd work with. read more

Dave Fraser is AMAZING. He explained what needed to be done for my project from the beginning and developed an efficient professional plan for me. Be sure to ask for him. read more

Awesome guy and super honest! He will be honest with you and never attempt to upsell or steer you wrong!

A super nice guy spent some time on the phone to explain what they could do, and got an appointment the following week. His brother Danny, a nice guy as well, came 5 minutes before the appointment and spent time explaining why I should do something else than a deck around my pool. He said that, if I was ok with this, he could give my number to some paving companies as an alternative. How honest is that? I wish there were more companies like this one in town for sure! read more

We were fortunate enough to work with Danny and his team on our patio cover. They just finished up and its beautiful...exactly as we had hoped! Danny gave us great design ideas and recommendations and Cip was extremely professional and knowledgeable. The work area was always clean every day and they cared for the job and our house like it was their own home. What a pleasure every day to see them and interact with them. I will always work with this great company!! read more

Fraser construction made my Pergola dreams come true. I initially had a consult with Dave, he listened to what I wanted and offered his expert advice assisting me in making informed choices on my final design. Dave was communicative throughout the process of ordering our materials, which he handled, and scheduling our install. Dave was there morning of, and introduced me to his wonderful and courteous crew. The crew worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned the entire area up before heading out. We are thrilled with the outcome and would recommend Fraser to anyone looking. read more

I contacted Danny Fraser and ask he perform a deck inspection prior to our purchase. Danny was extremely responsive. His inspection saved the us from purchasing a home with an unsafe deck that was not reparable. As the deck was so large a replacement would cost in excess of $130,000. Danny took over 50 photos to document the disrepair and code infractions. I cannot thank Danny enough. if you're going to purchase a home with a deck do not do so unless you have a deck inspection performed prior to purchase. Use a professional like Fraser Patio and Deck. read more

Dave and his crew replaced an old and large 51ft x 18ft pergola at our HOA. It was clear from his reviews that he made many customers happy, and we are glad to confirm that it's been that way for us too. His crew was meticulous and they were conscientious with cleanup at the end of every day. Dave even added features that we didn't ask for without increasing the price. It's very uncommon to find contractors who go above and beyond to do such excellent work. We recommend him very highly! read more

This is a great company! They are attentive to details and quality. They are prompt, communicate well, and are professional. They even handled some huge problems that were left by the previous contractor - some that affected their area of work and some that did not.

We actually contracted another deck builder who decided to retire before our project was started. He recommended Fraser decks to us, and I'm glad we decided to go with them. Danny and his crew started the project on time and finished ahead of schedule. Danny was in constant communication with me the entire project. The workmanship on our deck was outstanding. We are still getting comments on how great it looks from our neighbors. I highly recommend Fraser Decks read more

Fraser Decks and Patio Covers - Front porch deck - Decks & Railing Near Me - Escondido, California

I normally don't post reviews, but I have to say this is the best contractor experience I had in San Diego so far. Later in 2019 I wanted to replace my deck which had dry rot and was already a safety hazard. I contacted several of the 4+ stars deck contractors at Yelp, some of them too busy to answer the phone. Dave was quick to come visit me in two days. He was honest and knowledgeable and recommended composite and reuse of the existing wood frame. He told me he couldn't start right away, which was fine to me. His estimate was a the same value than other contractors, so I decided to go with him. However, the moment of truth is when the actual work happens. I have to say, Dave's crew were super professional, they were done in 4 days and did a superb job without any supervision from my side. 5 stars! read more

I don't know where to begin with how happy I am with the work that Fraser Decks and Patio Cover did for my home. After much exhaustive reading of reviews on different companies, I called Dave Fraser to get a bid. Danny Fraser came out the next day, offering great suggestions, so without hesitation, or getting other bids, I made the decision to go with them. I knew by their five star reviews, and then meeting them personally, that my job was in good hands. The communication was awesome each step of the way. Once they received the materials for my job everything started rolling like clockwork. Every employee on their team was fantastic. Nesto and his helper did the demo of my old wood structure so fast I couldn't believe it and they cleaned up and hauled it away. Then the following Monday Tao and Manuel started the patio cover and finished it in three days! They were professional, respectful of the property, and have a great work ethic and pride in what they want do. It looks beautiful and improved the property so much. Dave and Danny have really put together a great group of professional guys who really know what they are doing. I can see why they have such a good reputation and five star ratings. I am also thankful for the other reviewers which made it easy for me to choose Fraser Decks and Patio. I will definitely recommend to my family and friends. Thank you everyone for a job well done... read more

We had a bad experience with a previous contractor, so we were a little uneasy when we first started my with Dave and his crew. He addressed our concerns and walked us through every step of the way. He worked with us every single detail, made recommendations, kept us updated on the status of the project. The quality of work was top notch and we asked them back for multiple projects. If you want an honest company and pride of workmanship, this is the company to work with. We've had contractors come and leave trash behind, etc. This crew left everything better than they found it. We have a trusted contractor who has proven more than once he cares about his customers and the workmanship. I'm glad to post this review, as good, honest businesses are hard to find. read more

The pictures speak for themselves! High quality and high service. I would highly recommend!

I called to get a quote from Dave. He couldn't help me with what I needed, but he spent 20 minutes giving me names of competitors who could do the job. Not only that, but he answered a lot of my questions on different methods of building patio covers. I really appreciated his time and expertise in helping me even though he wouldn't benefit financially. It's hard to find good customer service like this anywhere. Thanks Dave. Let me know if you change your mind. :) read more

So here's the even better review now that the work is done - everything just terrific. I'm thrilled with the elegant 4K aluminum pergola they installed. Dave and his guys are expert, knowledgeable professionals, and also, as other reviewers all say, extraordinarily good people - generous with their time, very honest, extremely helpful, can-do spirit. Dave went out of his way to help ensure we'd be happy with the overall landscape project, not only the part he's responsible for, and I was able to depend on him for design and structural advice as well as referrals. Teo and Victor were super patient as we worked out installation of a new lighting system. Nice people, superb craftsmanship, beautiful product - I just wish I could have them do all my renovation projects! read more

Victor and his crew at Fraser Decks and Patios built my Indonesian Balay and completely rebuilt my rotting away rooftop deck. Their craftsmanship was impeccable and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Aside from some Covid related building and shipping of materials, everything was done in a timely and professional manner. Thank you Kris, Dave, Victor, and all the rest of the crew!!!!! read more

I called Fraser Decks and Patio Covers after having done some research on what type of decking material I should use around my pool. He mentioned they typically don't provide service where I live, but he would check with his brother, Danny to see if he wanted to accept a job that far. But then Dean recommended NOT ONLY another decking company that he knows services my area, but ALSO a supplier that he knows could get the specific type of material that I was looking for! *SUPER* amazing, completely professional, and refreshingly upbeat! I would recommend Fraser Decks and Patio Covers on their professionalism and honesty alone!! read more

I highly, highly recommend Fraser Decks and Patio Covers to anyone who is looking to get an AMAZING deck or patio cover done. Dave and his team just completed work on a large Trex deck at my home in North PB. Everything from the design, to the quality of the foundation and framing, to the finished product -- with built-in pinhole lights and fascia board-- is absolutely TOP NOTCH. I have had many decks built over the years, and for the first time, I know I'm going to go back to Dave for the next one. Once we finish the landscaping around the deck and the rest of the yard is worthy of the stunning deck, I'll be sure to follow-up with photos. Bottom Line -- If you're thinking of building a deck or Patio cover, give Dave a call -- you will be happy you did! read more

Thrilled beyond belief with our new pergola! From start to finish Kris, Leo and Jesus were pro all the way. Kris was patient and talked through all design elements with care, provided a clear proposal, and followed up to make sure we were totally happy. Leo and Jesus did the actual construction and holy moly they hauled ass to get it done quickly and professionally. Would highly recommend Fraser Decks and Patio and will be calling them for our deck redo in a couple years. Thank you! read more
