Get matched with top deck or porch build or replacers in Helotes, TX

"QCD did an amazing job on replacing my old wooden deck with a new composite deck. The attention to detail exceeded my expectations. they also worked with me a few minor special requests. I felt very comfortable discussing the project as it progressed and am delighted with the final result!"

"I have always wanted an enclosed patio for my backyard but I decided to do a catio instead. I wanted to have a place for me to relax and have an area where my cats could play without having to worry about the heat. I contacted Integrated Outdoor Designs when I saw the amazing custom builds they had on their website. Kyle was very helpful in coming up with a design that would work for me and my budget. He took the time to understand what I wanted and came up with a design that exceeded my expectations. When my catio got started I was contacted by Kent who would be the project manager. Between him and Kyle, all of the details where taken care of. The two main contractors that did the majority of the build were Mike and James. I can't say enough good things about their work. They were friendly, courteous, and one could definitely see the years of experience they had. The people at Integrated Outdoor Designs are not only experts at constructing one of a kind outdoor builds, but they take care of everything for you...from permits to setting up appointments with contractors to getting materials. They also did a fabulous job in cleaning after themselves when they were done. I now have the perfect, bright, and cozy place to relax and enjoy the outdoors without having to worry about the heat. My cats are also having a great time exploring the new addition and climbing on the cat shelves that were customed built just for them. I would highly recommend Integrated Outdoor Designs to anyone looking for a high quality, custom build whether you want a patio, sunroom, or even your very own catio."

"Jorge and his team built a deck and cover for me that exceeded my expectations. I'm pleased with the quality of work and how quickly the job was completed. I would highly recommend consideration of Timeless Sunsets Decks & Patios when doing your research."

"Signed contract with Diamond Decks for a 1,000 sq.ft. floating deck and railing atop a 3-car garage, new Hardie board siding on one end of a 2-story house facing the deck, a porch with metal roof, storm door, and associated painting/caulking. 23&25Aug17, subcontractor did a poor job installing the Hardie board. 12,13&15Sep, First paint crew did a very poor caulk job and paint on Hardie boards. Could see work wasn't being done in the professional manner we had expected and e-mailed owner saying we would pay for what was done and wanted to void our contract. He threatened to have his attorney contact us. We then set up a face-to-face meeting on 19 Sep with the owner to discuss the project to date and what would be done in the future. (A waste of an hour+ as all we heard was how passionate he was building decks for 20 years and what a great job his crew does--NOT.) 5Oct17, Second paint crew repainted the wall and attempted to do a better caulk job. Still terrible job, but I said we'd accept the work and to press on with the deck. 10Oct, Trex and pressure treated wolmanized wood subframe materials were delivered as well as the cedar materials for the porch. 11-23Oct, crew installed the subframe, Trex decking, steps and constructed a porch. Another subcontractor arrived and installed the porch metal roof. A very nice, professional job overall. 19Oct, owner revisited our job site and asked for "$25K or $30K" as he was "$1.2M in debt materials and needed a payment." NOTE: Contract and advertisements state no money till job is completed. I acquiesced and gave him $20K. 24&25Oct, Crew did a beautiful job installing the 42" metal railing around the deck 30-31Oct, The second paint crew primed and painted the porch. Again, poor quality workmanship. 1Nov, Went out on new deck and found storm door installation to be poor and not up to standard. 6Nov, Previously installed Hardie board storm door frame removed and a new cedar (wooden) frame constructed. 7Nov, A third, yes 3rd, paint crew showed up to do necessary painting on new frame and finish poor paint job from paint crew #2. 8Nov, With my assistance a Diamond Deck individual reinstalled the storm door. Gave employee the remainder owed per contract, $26K. 8Nov, On this same day I contracted Trex, Inc., company with a question and when doing so found that when constructing a floating deck the treated lumber should have Trex Protect Joist and Beam Tape installed on top of the lumber (which can double the life from 10 to 20 years of the subframe.) I e-mailed the owner asking why we didn't have the tape installed and for the first time have never received a response--of course, he now has his money. Not quibbling over the $46K quote for the aforementioned contracted work, would have gladly paid another $500 or so to make the job last longer. This job certainly shouldn't have taken 10 weeks--albeit we did have perhaps 2 weeks of poor weather or shipping delays. Nor should it have necessitated NUMEROUS e-mails, texts, and phone calls. This company has a serious communication issue, project managers who don't oversee a job nor communicate between homeowner and workers, and obviously takes on too many jobs sacrificing quality and leaving the homeowner feeling like this is a side-line project and "we'll get to you when we can attitude." Also, we are still attempting to clean all the oil and fluid stains all over our driveway from worker's vehicles, picking up unused screws, cigarette butts, etc. NOTE: Diamond Decks LLC should stick to deck building and leave other projects to professionals as the aforementioned poor quality work caused the poor over-all rating."

"Hired Charpentier to install pavers in my backyard to extend patio area. Friendly, detail oriented quality work."

"I recently had a deck built by Paradise Decks & Spas. I was pleased from sales to inspection. Fredrick the salesperson was very knowledgeable and his presentation was without pressure. No empty promises! He was upfront about timelines and the timing was reasonable. Mike who built the deck did a great job. Jamie in the office was helpful and courteous. The inspector also named Mike was professional. I would highly recommend this company."

"David, the owner, personally came by and gave us the quote for the work. He is an honest businessman with integrity. He was easy to work with and answered all questions that were posed to him knowledgeably and amicably. He also takes great pride in his staff and employees. The employees who did the job (Joshua and Charlie) were friendly, communicative, and thorough, making sure that all leftover parts and trash were taken care of. The repaired gate looks and operates great. I asked them about keeping some of the old wood slats from the gate to repair some other slats in a nearby part of the fence and they offered to do that work while they were there at no additional charge. I had pointed out 3, they ended up replacing 5! That work also looks great. Only one minor piece of constructive criticism: the new gate has a gap near the post. It is unavoidable due to the how the mechanisms work. We had been referred to David's website to see a picture of what it might look like and did not note that. It would have been good to have an understanding of that so that we could discuss what options might be available to mitigate at the time. Still very pleased and looking forward to doing business with Ultimate Handyman, LLC again and would recommend highly."

"Signed contract for 1,000 sq ft floating deck and railing atop 3-car garage, some Hardie boards installed on end of 2nd story house facing deck, painting, caulking, etc. 24/25Aug Hardie installer did an unprofessional job. 12,13&15 Sep, first paint crew did lousy job caulking and painting Hardie boards. 5Oct, second paint crew did more caulking and tried to better paint job. Still blotchy, but tired at this point dealing with company. Threatened to pay for what was done and terminate contract, but owner threatened to have his attorney contact us. We continued after having an hour-long meeting with the owner to get things on the "right track;" however, nothing changed. 11-23Oct, deck installers installed sub-frame pressure-treated lumber and Trex decking, steps, and porch cover. A very nice job. 23Oct, sub-contractor did excellent job installing a metal roof on the porch. 24/25Oct, another crew did a beautiful job installing railings. 30/31Oct, second paint crew did poor paint job and poor storm door install. 6Nov, had to have Hardie board door frame removed and replaced with cedar (wood) frame for storm door to be properly attached. 7Nov, Third, yes third, paint crew showed up to paint and caulk door frame and touch up 2nd paint crew's poor paint job. Contract and advertisement state "no money paid till job completed." On 19Oct owner asked for "$25K or $30K payment" as he needed funds. I acquiesced and gave him $20K. Final payment of $26K was made on 8Nov17. The day final payment was made, I had a question about Trex and went to the Trex web site and discovered the wolmanized/pressure-treated sub-frame lumber used for the floating deck should have had Trex Protect Joist and Beam Tape installed doubling the life expectancy from 10 to 20 years--confirmed via e-mail from Trex customer service. Was disappointed this professional company with a "passion for quality deck construction" wasn't aware of this product. (Did ask Diamond Deck owner why this wasn't used in our last e-mail to him, no response--he had our money. After agreeing to a $46K contract, certainly another $500 or so for beam tape to double the life of our sub-frame wouldn't have been an issue.) This 10-week project was the most stressful remodeling experience in our lives. Extremely poor communication, project managers who don't oversee a job nor coordinate work with homeowner and workers, and excuses galore. The company obviously takes on too many jobs sacrificing quality and leaving the homeowner feeling like this is a side-line project and "we'll get to you when we can." Also, we are still cleaning up behind the crews (oil stains all over our driveway from sub-contractor/employee vehicles, unused screws, cigarette butts, etc.). We paid for our own porta-potti as none was offered. During this 10-week ordeal (albeit we did have several weeks of poor weather or shipping delays) we had NUMEROUS e-mails, texts, phone calls & some meetings--totally uncalled for if this was"
