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

"They will always do what's best for the customer. We appreciate them getting the project done quickly, but yet ensured all the details in making our deck look fantastic. We are going to have so many memories on this deck, we appreciate the 110% they gave on our project."

"Diamond Decks was a pleasure to work with, I learned a lot! They were super informative and they had great communication all around. Everything went really smooth!"

"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."

"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!"

"Everything was good. They communicated very well, they did a great job, and quality work. I can't say bad things about them. They were very informative and explained everything. the salesman didn't pressure me with everything. Now were very happy with our deck."

"Colin was my main contact and great to work with. He came up with a plan that fit my budget and addressed several problem areas. He went above and beyond in responding promptly to my questions. The installation crew completed the new fence on schedule, hauled away the old materials, and did a good job cleaning up the yard. The new fence is sturdy and looks great!"

"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."

"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."

"I had a pool deck built by this company. The quality of his work was excellent. He started early in the morning and worked until dark. My deck was done in two days in time for our 4th of July party. I highly recommend this company, you will be pleased with his work. I love my new deck!!!"

"David ("Dave") Palamo went the extra mile for me (am so grateful!). He came to my gated community around 6:30 last night and used his step-ladder to reach the internal lighting fixture in my garage. The fixture has two tubes--one had burned out, but the other was still working. He pulled the burned out tube and took it to the nearby Home Depot to ensure that he bought the right replacement tubes. When Dave came back within a few minutes with the new tubes, he first inserted one of the new tubes and then swapped out the old tube that was still working with the other new tube. Thanks again, Dave! You gave me peace of mind and ensured that I could turn on the lights in my garage!"
