Get matched with top gazebo or freestanding porch builders or installers in San Antonio, TX

"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."

"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!!!"

"Handyman Carpentry came through for me and my family! Our door was kicked in and I needed to feel safe immediately. Mr. Kevin came through with a fast response, and great work. He kept in contact throughout the entire time! Reasonable and fair pricing. This was an emergency for me and Mr. Kevin and his squad came through. We will definitely be calling on him again for more carpentry and home improvement jobs! Thank you and I pray nothing but growth and success for you and your business!!"

"Franco's Tree Service, workers, did an excellent job. They trimmed a red oak tree and removed a large diseased red oak, down to the stump, as close to the ground as possible, neatly done. They were extremely careful not to damage our rose bushes and/or roof. Their removal and cleanup was very efficient. My husband and I would highly recommend this tree service. We would hire them again, first choice. Bill and Margie"

"Wonderful experience! We had a cedar arbor installed and the contractor recommended we get it stained, and recommended Ron for the job. He said Ron did good work, would powerwash the arbor, and stain it by hand. We gave Ron a call and he came over, and he explained the differences and advantages of different stain types and colors. Once we decided on a color, Ron set up a day to come do the job. He and his helper were very meticulous, and detailed. They hand applied the stain, without making a mess on my patio. They took a full day to perform the job, and the results were wonderful. Their attention to detail really shows. I’m sure we’ll be calling him for future paint and stain jobs. We highly recommend him for any paint or stain jobs If quality, professional work results are what you’re looking for."

"I had just purchased a new house that had approximately a 10x12 deck. My wife and I were planning on a backyard wedding and wanted a deck that measured approximately 30x25 with two sets of stairs. Once we started the initial planning I  knew the design we wanted was probably not going to be affordable because of the deck I built previously.  Luckily I kept all the information for Jesse and started thinking maybe this deck would be possible to build in my budget. We still were not sure of the exact design we wanted but Jesse's experience enabled him to make viable suggestions that would meet our expectations. After about two weeks the entire project was done. The deck came out better than I expected and on-time. The second part of the project was to move a fence line and build a double gate so I could park my camper in the backyard. Jesse moved my fence line and built a heavy duty double gate that turned out great. I am very critical when it comes to contractors and getting what I want at a great price and great customer service. Jesse definitely exceeds my expectations. When I need a contractor to work on another project for me I will definitely call Jesse."
