Israel made my first Palapa with a solid top surface under the grass and the grass lasted like six years or longer finally had to do a new layer of grass and while he was here, we discussed putting up a second Palapa. It's beautiful. I am so thrilled with his work. I'm thrilled with his personality. I'm thrilled with his prices. I think he's a great guy. You can't do wrong asking Israel to come out and do your work. read more

After calling a couple different palapa companies we decided on Quality Palapas based on the transparency, knowledgeable conversation and value based on what we were looking for. Originally we were going to replace our natural palapa but after some research we decided that synthetic was the way to go since it would save us money in the long run. Israel was very professional and informative. He and his partner arrived on time, they were both very respectful of our home and did an amazing job in a day and a half. We have a charcoal bbq under our palapa and we were concerned that since the synthetic was going to be a roof the smoke would now get trapped underneath in the sitting/bar area. Israel understood our concern and advised he would create a vent to allow the smoke out while still providing waterproof coverage. The "vent" ended up being a work of art and focal point of this palapa and we could not be happier with the work and how it turned out! The entire space feel so much bigger and we can't wait to entertain read more

I reached out to Quality Palapas for a quote to repair the thatch of my palapa. They offer 4 kinds of thatch: handwoven Mexican Palm, Tahitian Palm, African Reed Palm, and synthetic palm. Israel was responsive and quoted me a fair price for synthetic thatch, which he then matched to another company I contacted. When Israel came to pick up the deposit and write the contract, he brought samples of the thatch and showed us what it would look like. Honestly, the synthetic looks kind of weird, but once it was installed, it looks good! He assured me it's would look better over time once it settles. Israel and one other employee came to remove and discard the old thatch, install the new one, and cleaned up after. He also replaced the worn ropes around the poles. The work was good quality, completed in a timely manner, and they were respectful of my property. read more

Quality Palapas is the best in the business! We've had them out twice to do our Palapas. We love the quality, the professional install, and the customer service Israel & his team provides. Our Palapas last through those rough tornado style Santa Ana winds we get. We wouldn't get our beautiful Palapas from anywhere else. read more

Awesome job with our thatch repair. They had the best price and were very easy to work with. I'll definitely use this company again!

the winds did some damage to our palapa . We called several and Israel was so helpful He explained our options complete with up front quotes. Very helpful, professional and friendly. He scheduled us through text and was accurate with the date and arrival time. On the day of the job Israel and his team we on time and did a great job. Our palapa looks amazing. At the end of the day they cleaned up and there was no hint that any work was done in my backyard. He explained how to take care of the palapa and made sure we knew to contact him if there was any issues. We are so happy we used Quality Palapas and are 100% satisfied. read more

Israel is a great guy , good to work with and more importantly he does great work. Built a nice looking Palapa in our yard. Looks great. Price was competitive with others out there. Use him. read more

Israel was outstanding from start to finish on our recent Palapa replacement (including new roofing and all support beams). Basically, he rebuilt our entire structure. His attention to detail was second to none. He was flexible with pricing and reviewed each feature with us prior to commencing the job. Each day, he worked diligently and methodically. He was on time each day. Prior to leaving for the day, he cleaned the entire work area and kept our yard safe and secure for our two dogs. Israel is professional and friendly and easy to work with. We highly recommend Quality Palapas and the craftmanship that Israel brings to the table. read more

Israel is the man. He accommodated my schedule as I traveled frequently. His workmanship is top notch compared to the Palapas firm in fountain valley who installed my Palapas 4 years ago and fell apart. Israel guaranteed his job for 10 years in writing. After it was done, I can assure you that it look much sturdier than the one before. read more

Our Palapa / tiki hut was infested with termites. I did a Google search for companies that worked on these and didn't find anyone but Quality Palapas. Thank God. I called Israel and explained the situation. He drove out and did a full inspection and confirmed the termite infestation. And then he gave me several recommendations. I picked the best one for us. He came out to the house with his coworker at 7 AM one weekday morning. They tore down the damaged wood and rebuilt it with pressure-treated termite and weather proof wood. They replaced the thatch roof with brand new fire retardant material and our palapa is brand new again. Took them 2 1/2 very long days because our electricity was interrupted by Edison on one of the days. I saw these men work harder than I've ever seen anyone work before. No wasting time. Showed up very early each day , and left when the sun was going down. The quality of their materials and workmanship is second to none. I have done some major home projects in the past but what Israel and his man did is the most impressive to date. It's like they literally built a small house in two days. Mine was tricky because it was a custom job with different sized posts and measurements. And as an added bonus, they were extremely affordable. They deserve to charge much more for this kind of work. Very humble and decent and professional men. I am humbled by what they did for me. I knew this when I first met Israel. His work when it was done left me fully convinced and speechless. Thank you so much, Israel. I highly recommend you to anyone needing your services. You are the best. read more

Easy to work with, Great quality work, clean and professional, and a fair price. What more could you ask for? Thanks, Tom read more

Critical attributes for a successful business with satisfied customers - communication/accessibility, honest quote and great work. Israel and his team delivered on all three. Very responsive, quote that was fair and complete ( no last minute "add on's") and great work. Our 15 plus year old palapa looks brand new. After years of irrigation spray on the posts and the sun, wind and rain the past few months, Quality Palapas brought back the beauty and life. Beyond the palapa, they were most respectful of our new landscaping, keeping the work area neat and tidy. We highly recommend them for refurbishing or building your new palapa. read more

All I can say is WOW. I am so happy that we went with Isreal at Quality Palapas for our project. I'm a former Jungle Cruise Skipper/Tiki Room attendant who had the crazy idea of putting a palapa in our (relatively small) backyard space rather than a traditional patio cover (thankfully, my husband humors me, lol). After getting a couple other quotes and meeting with other contractors, I immediately knew Isreal understood my wacky vision and was the guy for the job. He and his team were SO professional and their handiwork is the thing of beauty. The palapa itself was done in three days and looks more amazing than I could have hoped. We even had them install reed on our previously boring stucco walls to pull it all together. The detail in their work is beyond compare and we couldn't be happier. Thanks so much Isreal! read more

Israel and his team did a wonderful job. What started out as just a new door became a whole new palapa after the main posts were pulled and they were ridden with termites. This was because the original installers didn't wrap the post bottoms with a protective barrier. I'm very happy with the final product and would recommend Quality Palapas over Palapa Joes ANY DAY!! read more

Israel replaced our palapa & I was just thrilled with his work. He is very professional, leaves no mess & punctual. It has 4 layers so rain won't get through. We are in a windy area but it's guaranteed for 10 years. I watched him take two days to construct it & I doubt it's ever going to fall apart. His pricing was very reasonable. I actually paid him a little more as he did such an amazing job & added a few personal touches that made it really spectacular!!! read more

Israel and his guy did an amazing job. We had a palapa that was crooked, lost most of its cover and the wood was deteriorating. I worked with him and told him exactly what i was looking for. He explained our options throughly and we opted to go with the thatch roof. The old wood was torn down piece by piece. Old rope was replaced with new. The old posts were re-stained. After about 5 hours of work the palapa was finished. And it looks amazing! Thank you so much for refreshing our old palapa! read more

I love this company. Their attention to detail puts them far above the rest. Our project meant cutting pavers and removing my old palapa. They had to dig down deep but they made me a new sturdy more beautiful one than I had before. They left the place as clean as before they started minus the rotted out palapa. Thank you. read more

We had Israel and his team out this week to help us hide our pool equipment. We already have two large palapas over our patio and it seemed like the perfect way to hide the equipment, add beauty to the space while blending in with the work that was previously accomplished. The results exceeded our expectations. We had four post in place that Israel was able to leverage for his work by adding the bamboo walls and all of the palapas structure for the top. We were so excited and impressed with the results that I reached out to Israel and told him that we are going to do two more large palapas out on our property, in two different areas at some point in the near future and we would definitely be in contact when it was time to do that work read more

We hired Israel and his crew to replace an old corrugated plastic patio cover in our back yard with a palapa style roof. After getting multiple estimates and reading reviews, Quality Palapas prices and reported service couldn't be beat. We had a bit of a concern as this roof was rectangular and fairly flat (shallow pitch), which is much different than the usual round, steeper palapa, so were worried about the water drainage. Israel said it wouldn't be a problem and he had done work similar before. The initial job was great. They did quick work and it came out exactly like we wanted. However, that's when things changed. Not sure if it was due to the work or just the excessively rainy season we had, but within the 1st few months of winter, we noticed minor leaking. Israel was great in his response. He came out very quickly and repaired/replaced damaged parts and attempted to reseal. However, the leaking continued to happen throughout the season. He came out again to help, and we tried various things, but continued to leak. He was very apologetic about everything and never charged me for anything when he came back out. He even offered to build me a separate smaller palapa for another part of my yard using some materials I had leftover, and didn't charge me for the labor (only for additional material at good price). I have recently made some adjustments to divert water drainage, so hoping the trouble is averted, but still have damaged wood/matting from the season. Israel provided me with replacements for the damaged materials at no cost. I can't blame Israel for the rainy season we had, but I had to remove a star, as these complications were something I was concerned about when initially hiring them, and should have been known/expected by someone with roofing experience. However, given his willingness to work with us and coming back so many times free of charge, as well as the material and free labor he provided I thought he deserved 4 stars. Our palapa is great and would have given 5 stars for that, so if you're looking for a simple palapa, I highly recommend them. read more

Just wanted to give a shout out to Quality Palapas. They made the bar cover bigger and replaced it with synthetic thatch. Thank you for a job well done. Love my new Palapa bar. It's so much bigger and covers the whole bar from the sun. No more falling thatch every time it's windy or when it rains. Israel and his main guy were here every day and it took him a week to finish. Thank you Quality Palapas for making my backyard a paradise again. read more

I am so psyched to be writing this well-deserved review for Quality Palapas and the awesome palapa that Israel and his crew built in my backyard in Long Beach. After deciding we wanted a palapa, I did some research and requested quotes from three SoCal palapa builders/installers. All three seemed great and were quick to communicate, but Israel's quote was the most competitive by far - and that's including apples to apples comparisons. For example, his quote included staining/treating the wood poles, and installing that awesome looking manilla rope (those were add-ons, with extra costs, at another company). His palapas are also made to be waterproof (not all palapas are designed to be waterproof). In addition to having the most competitive quote price-wise, I like the fact that he brought examples of the different material options with him when he came for the initial site visit prior to writing up the quote. It was really helpful to see the difference between the different types of thatch available. He was also quick to send me additional photos of things I asked about. Best of all, Israel and his crew showed up exactly when they said they would, and finished exactly when they said they'd finish - how rare is that?! Israel estimated an amazingly fast two-day build out for our four-post, rectangular palapa, which was customized to be a bit taller than normal to accommodate our window placement. He and his crew were very professional and left our backyard clean. And the palapa is amazing!! The craftsmanship really is impeccable - it's just a pleasure to look at from every angle. Because we had to have it made taller than normal because of our windows, I was initially worried whether the proportions would work, but Israel knew what he was doing and could clearly visualize the end product - and it was masterfully executed. I can hardly believe its ours - it feels like being on vacation at a beach resort in the privacy of our humble back yard. Also, it's funny because when I first contacted him on Feb. 12, Quality Palapas just had its first yelp review. Since then, I see there are two more happy yelp reviews - yay! I'm now adding another, and since these reviews are coming close together I want to just state for the record that Israel didn't ask me or hint for any review, nor is there any incentive for my writing this review, other than just wanting to support this awesome small business and their Quality Palapas. If you are even remotely considering a palapa, I highly recommend contacting Israel and Quality Palapas. read more

Did a great job remodeling my palapa about ten years ago and recently replacing Mexican thatch. Highly recommended!

They did a great job! They were very responsive, we're able to schedule quickly and were very prompt. He said 7:00 and was there at exactly 7:00. Very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them. read more

My two palapas from Quality Palapas are truly works of art. We got a few estimates and read several reviews. Although we would have hired Israel based on price alone, after meeting him it was an easy decision. Just a super nice guy to be around. Working around the recent rain storms, they worked tirelessly with complete precision and professionalism. They were clean, fast and constantly impressed us with incredible craftsmanship. The way the wrap the joints with rope is something unique and trust me, it sets them apart from everyone else. They beefed ours up to handle a 200 lb chandelier and they even hung the lighting for us. They constantly went above and beyond what we expected. We have friends that weren't even thinking of building a palapa but they are now after seeing ours. It's hard to believe that Israel's price is really no different from a boring aluminum patio cover. Happy customers!!! read more

We could not be happier with our new palapa which is large...13x17 ft. We selected the African style. I must ditto some of the other reviews. Israel was VERY professional on his estimate day and our install was as promised, done in two days. He and his crew were very neat and clean and worked long days driving many miles to Ventura county to build our backyard resort. This is truly the focal point in the yard! As someone else said, the rope is so perfect and we have two round tables that he built, attached to two of our poles for drinks...the grand finale! Prior to the palapa install, Israel and the guys put 1" bamboo rods over what was an ugly old wrought iron fence....as with the palapa, at a very fair price and it is beautiful. You can't find more quality workmanship and with a 10 year warranty. We highly recommend Israel. Get him while you can...we already have two referrals and he is going to get soooo busy! read more
