After getting bids from four contractors to replace our old, wood pergola at our front entrance…read morewith a new, aluminum patio cover, we decided to go with Pacific Patio. Steve, the co-owner, was most patient and thorough in accommodating our needs, including drainage and lighting, and helping us think through the design and materials. The price was reasonable. JD, the project manager, was great, keeping us abreast of what was going on as the project proceeded. The crew--Jesse and Randal, Robert and Anthony--were likewise a pleasure to work with. The end product is a pleasure to look at, eliciting many positive comments from neighbors and thumbs-up from passers by.

I originally posted this review about eight months ago, but it appears to have been removed, so I'm…read moreposting it again. This review concerns only my experience with Pacific Patio's bidding process. The proposal I received did not include any meaningful detail about the materials that would be used. When I asked specific questions--such as whether the support posts would be steel or aluminum--the salesperson refused to answer. Instead, he responded sarcastically, "Do you want me to tell you what kind of bolts we're going to use?" My answer is yes. The materials matter. The type of bolts, fasteners, posts, and other structural components affects the durability and safety of the finished product. Lower-quality hardware may perform differently under wind loads and over time, so it's reasonable for a customer to know what is being proposed. I repeatedly asked for a list of the materials that would be used, but the salesperson would not provide one. Without that information, I had no meaningful way to compare Pacific Patio's proposal with competing bids. Just as importantly, I would have had no clear basis for holding the contractor accountable if different materials were substituted during the project. The salesperson also became increasingly dismissive as I continued asking for this information. That lack of transparency and professionalism led me to award the project--worth approximately $100,000--to another contractor. I'm sharing this experience so that prospective customers know to ask for a detailed written description of the materials included in any proposal before making a decision.

We talked to four companies about replacing an old wooden pergola over our front patio with an…read morealuminum one. Out of all of them, only Jason at Soltech was able to design one that perfectly matched the original. His quote for the aluminum pergola was also the lowest, and his team did an excellent job with the installation, which was completed sooner than expected. Jason also noticed that our tile roof was directing rainwater so that it missed the gutter and offered to fix the problem by installing new flashing at no extra cost. We are very happy with all of the work Soltech did. If I'd known it was this painless to replace that old pergola, I would have done it years ago. Our front patio now looks great!

With Hunter providing excellent on-site leadership, the team completed the project two days ahead of schedule and stayed within the original contracted price. When various issues arose during the installation, Andrew and his crew responded quickly and developed creative, effective solutions. Their experience, flexibility, communication, and attention to detail made the entire process go smoothly. The Outdoor Elements product appears to be everything it was advertised to be, and we are extremely pleased with the finished result. I would highly recommend Andrew and the entire AquaSoltech team.

I had an old 1959 aluminum patio cover that was so thin it would radiate the heat onto the patio…read morefloor and right through my living room glass doors. I finally had it replaced last April 2025 by Skyline Patio and Sunrooms with an insulated cover. One year later, it has passed the test through hot weather, rain and wind. No more frying eggs on the concrete floor! I was very very happy with the service I received from this company. Joe, the manager, and Rick design rep, Darrin construction manager, Andrea production coordinator, Dianna sales coordinator, and others that came to do the work on site, were all professional and a real blessing in getting my new patio cover designed and put together with the features I wanted. The crew that worked on site demonstrated much care and passion in the work they did. The crew took time to answer my questions and even made a video on my phone so I could remember how the wiring was done for my patio light and fan. I have gutters on each side and also had outlets put in. Today the temperature in my backyard in the sun is 102°F. In the shade of my Avocado tree the temp is 96°F. The ambient temperature under my insulated patio cover is 84°F!! That's an 18 degree difference! The company responded quickly to my initial call and once material was in, had the work completed within 2 days. They took down and removed the old cover, prepped the areas needed, and cleaned up afterwards. Out of all the companies I met with, Skyline Sunrooms came out as my top choice. I highly recommend Skyline Patio and Sunrooms to anyone. They have a cute little showroom, too!

If you've ever laid awake wondering whether your workers will show up tomorrow -- let alone at all…read morethis week -- you know exactly the kind of contractor experience we'd been living with for years. BRR Contractors was the complete opposite, and they honestly renewed our faith in finishing this renovation at all. They completely redid our balcony: tore it down, found and replaced rotted wood, removed some railings and added glass, refurbished the old railings, rebuilt the stairs, and painted the whole thing. There was one change order for the rot, but Mike Spencer flagged that possibility upfront during the estimate, so it was expected -- no surprises, no games. Here's the contrast that matters. Our previous contractor would demo and vanish, sub out everything to crews doing C+ work at best, blow past finish dates by months, and leave horrendous messes with almost zero oversight. Worst of all, I was paying for project management but ended up doing all of it myself -- chasing subs, tracking schedules, riding herd on quality. With BRR, they handle ALL of it. You're reminded why you hired professionals in the first place: so you don't have to be the one running the job. And they have their OWN crew -- these guys are pros. Tyson and Jay handled demo and construction and showed up at 0730 every single day, on time, every time. Bill's paint work was excellent, and the glass and railing crew was just as solid. They cleaned up at the end of each day, and communication couldn't have been better from start to finish. The last few years were a hard lesson in what a contractor shouldn't be -- but it made us appreciate exactly what we have now. I'm genuinely glad we found BRR. We'll be using them for future phases of our renovation without hesitation. If you've been burned before, this is the company that restores your confidence. Highly recommend.
