We talked to several contractors about a roof for our patio. Decathlon was our choice and it was absolutely the right decision. Their entire staff is experienced, reliable and pays attention to detail and craftmanship. Throughout the entire project, they kept us informed, communicated clearly and immediately handled unexpected issues. The team's dedication and professionalism were evident at every stage of the project. Decathlon quality of work is exceptional -- they exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them! read more

We chose Decathlon after a few price quotes and so glad we did! They are truly top notch professionals... We were particularly impressed with their communication, organization and professionalism. The entire process went smoothly from beginning to end. We really couldn't be happier with our new patio cover and will absolutely use them in the future for any other construction projects. I have already referred them to our neighbors. Thank you Decathlon Construction for making a not-so-fun process so painless! We look forward to working with y'all again soon! read more

Jerry and his crew have been phenomenal to work with. The level of experience he brings to building Tiny Houses to RV codes and Appendix Q is above and beyond most builders. He has truly thought every detail out and builds quality homes. The main source of contact, which for us was Justin, is considerate and understanding of needs presented to him in order to supply Jerry with the necessary information to build the perfect home. April's interior design will provide you with a home that truly is the home of your dreams. I'm truly impressed with the thoughtfulness that Decathalon brings to building THOW's. From my experience they go above and beyond some of the biggest names in the Tiny Home community. read more

Went through through the trouble to fill the online form for a prelim estimate. Spoiler alert: whether you filll our basic or standard patio covering the price is $6,500. (Assumed this is on the low side) First response from the owner: Thanks for your inquiry! However, our project minimum starts at $7,500. Thanks and we wish you good luck with your outdoor living project. Have a great evening! Which I responded that minimum wasn't really an issue and we really wanted someone to help us design the solution. To which I received: Thanks for letting us know! We are booked up solid for the remainder of this month for in person estimates. But we'd still love to provide you with a ballpark estimate via email, if that works for you. Could you send us a copy of your property survey, a picture of the entire back of your home and a brief detailed description of your future outdoor living project please? Thanks and have a wonderful evening! -- Really don't have the time to create a brief on what I need. Bottom line, their online form is a waste of time. Can anyone recommend a company that can build a ~140 sf patio cover? read more

We've used Decathlon (hey April & Jerry!) to build patios twice now (previous house and current). So have our neighbors and best friends. We all had GREAT experiences that led to great patios that we enjoy years later. They do beautiful wood work and have the nicest employees. Since our backyard backs up to a main road, we've actually had a few people stop by to ask who built our patio. I've recommended Decathlon many times and would again. From the structure to the staining to the stamped concrete, they do quality work on time. :) read more

See all

My husband and I really enjoyed the owners and their building experience! We unfortunately decided last minute to go a different route outside of purchasing a tiny home, but if you are in the market you should most definitely check out the Decathlon team! They truly have a super great team with a ton of experience and great financing options. read more

Decathlon gave us the most positive home improvement / home repair experience we have ever had. Decathlon built us a beautiful patio structure with rough wood and concrete. They were very accommodating with some of our customization desires, including the need for a different kind of wood considering my wife's allergy. Their price was extremely fair, yet they delivered a level of quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that should have cost twice as much. The team was quick to respond, operated with swiftness and accuracy, and everyone was highly respectful of our home, including keeping the space clean and ensuring we were totally satisfied every step of the way. All my thanks and praise to Decathlon for giving us the outdoor space we have wanted for years. read more

Decathlon Construction - a covered patio with a table and chairs - General Contractors Near Me - Sachse, Texas

September 22nd: Met at my house for an estimate. It took over an hour. Did not hear back from them. October 3rd: Sent email asking how long it takes to get estimate. No response received. October 7th, I posted this yelp review: "Wasted my time meeting them at my house for an estimate. I had to leave work early and spend over an hour with them answering questions and going through their pictures. They gave me a list of references and a pen and then I never heard from them again. I emailed them over a week later to ask how long it takes to receive an estimate and they never responded. Waste of time and unprofessional." October 9th: Email from them said: "Happy Friday! I greatly apologize for the delay regarding your quote. Jerry's been extremely behind with his paperwork. However, he is working on several today and over the weekend, including yours, and you will have it by the weekend or sooner. We really appreciate your patience and understanding!" October 26th: I still haven't heard back from them. I never received a quote. Conclusion: I wouldn't hire these people. read more

Jerry came to the house to give us a quote on what we were looking for in our new home. He had several suggestions and did a really great job with 400 sq ft add-on along with our patio. April did a superb job of keeping us informed of every move. We didn't have to do anything but just watch the men do their job. The workers are very friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. If you want great quality and people that know what their doing, I would highly recommend Decathlon Construcion. read more

Decathlon Construction just finished an arbor and patio project at our home. These guys are great. From the owner Jerry, who is smart, fair, organized and a pleasure to deal with, to his wife April, who runs the business end, thru all their subcontractors, this is a first quality company. 1. Fair and honest price for the project. No annoying add ons. Jerry is a very smart guy and he knows what he is doing so there is no need to add lots of additional costs, the man knows his business. 2. The subs, all of them, are also quality people who take pride in their work. 3. They have a system which is a well oiled machine. One sub finishes, the next shows up, does his thing, all thru the project. We had the carpenters, the stain men, then Jerry outlining the concrete, then the concrete crew, and then the finish guys. All like clockwork, we didn't have to do much except watch (and of course offer some suggestions, all received pleasantly.) 4. And the finished product looks even nicer than we expected. Jerry takes great pride in his product and it shows. 5. Call this company if you need their type of work done, really good, quality people. read more

Decathlon Construction They built our patio in 2016 and did an outstanding job! Not the cheapest but does excellent work but definitely not the highest. I feel the quality work added value to my home. read more

Edit: I ran into several more hiccups after the job was done. While the work that was done well was done very well, some of the work was not and all of it required alot more effort on my part than I expected considering I was not hired to manage the job. Dropping them from 5 to 3 stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I just had a patio and fireplace done by Decathlon. The quality of work was exceptional. Jerry has definitely spent some time finding the best subs in the area. The worst of them was better than most I have worked with in the past. The whole process was not all roses. It is very difficult to co-ordinate 6 different teams of people to work on one site and we definitely had some pains from that. For anyone planning a outdoor patio, I would recommend you do as much research as possible in advance (I did not) so that you have an idea of what you want and are prepared to answer the inevitable questions that will come up. Also, review the work done every day to make sure it is what you were expecting. If you are not happy Decathlon WILL find a way to make you happy but it helps if you monitor the work daily. While the process was not smooth, the end product was so great that I was not willing to dock them any stars. Just inspect the work and keep April up to date on how it is going and you will have a great finished product. read more

Logistical limits aside of not serving in the Bedford, Texas area. Respectfully, my point was focused on getting back. Looking now at your website, It clearly states serving the entire Dallas Metroplex. One could easily interpret that as you might include Bedford in your service area which is 12miles/15min from the DFW Airport. read more

We had a patio built onto my previous home 8 years ago. It was a nightmare. I thought I did my homework but things did not go well. It was a very stressful experience with a less than expected outcome. Forward 8 years. We have a new home in need of a patio. We contacted several builders. The prices varied wildly for the same build. We chose Decathlon Construction as they were very cost competitive, nice people, and their web site clearly shows they know what they are doing. Decathlon Construction just completed our patio. They exceeded our expectations all the way through this project. These projects can be stressful or great fun based on by the contractors and subcontractors. Our patio was so much fun for us. Everyone at Decathlon Construction including their subcontractors were a pleasure to work with. It was so nice when we got into the details of the build we never heard, "that costs extra". It was also amazing when we ran into small issues, how aggressively they corrected them. Again, exceeding our expectations. We were so impressed with the detail quality of your sub's work. Their carpenters are truly engineers and artists. We were amazed with their sound construction and the detail they did on their finishing work. The time they spent on the trim was amazing. No one fell asleep in geometry class from this group! The concrete slab also exceeded our expectations. The slab they built was exactly what we discussed. Every detail was included. The post wraps were nothing short of a work of art. It was great working with someone open to our ideas and who could combine them into something reasonable. He created something special and unique for us. Even the painting was done very well. I am sort of cursed with the ability to notice the finest details and imperfections. Everything was perfect. What also sets Decathlon Construction apart from their competition is their communication and customer support. I have spent a lot of time raving about their technical skills and quality. Equally important is how they (April) was there along the way offering status updates and comfort. IMO, skilled tradesmen seldom know how to run a business. Most have great technical skills but flounder when it comes to running a company of their own. They typically fail when it comes to customer interaction and scheduling. Decathlon Construction is clearly different and is heads above the competition. They made the process of building our patio a wonderful experience and most importantly, they built us a patio, which exceeded our expectations. I remember my first email to April. She said, "We will not disappoint you". That was quite an understatement. If you do not consider using Decathlon Construction for your patio, you are really making a mistake. read more

These guys are flakes. Had to reschedule three times, twice because their internet was out. Right. The third time they said between 4 and 5pm. I get a call at 4:40 that they were heading my way. They show up right before 5. When you say between 4 and 5, you should plan on being there between 4 and 5, not after 5. This especially since you've flaked TWICE. How can I trust the integrity of the estimate or the work if you can't even commit to an appointment. Moving right along from these people as fast as I can. read more

Top notch from day 1! Every day our patio was left swept and safe during the entire construction of our beautiful patio. We are so happy and the fine details are beautiful. They took the time to listen to our wants and designed a beautiful patio!! Highly recommend! read more

I wish I could leave a review on the product but they never got back to me. I have a large project and they came out quickly after my inquiry. Took measurements and said this was a straight forward project but never heard from them again. I texted sent emails and no response. Maybe project was to large or could not do it. I don't know. If they are this way during bid process I would be concerned if I hired them. Seemed like nice folks just don't understand what issue was read more

Jerry designed and built a covered patio in the spring of 2015 that my family has thoroughly enjoyed. Our project was quite a large one as it extended the entire length of our home. It involved carpenters, electricians, concrete specialists, painters and a gutter company. The project took several weeks and I reviewed the progress daily. Daily communication with the subcontractors was key to getting exactly what I wanted. I really appreciated the carpenters as they took extra care to explain options, answer questions, and make sure I was completely satisfied. The patio is well built, beautifully designed, and a wonderful addition to our home. read more

Great company that does an amazing job. Very detailed! Had them complete an extension to our existing patio and just a matter of a few weeks from having it completed, had multiple compliments. They communicated throughout the quoting process regards to adds, concrete selection, and pricing. Regardless of what we asked or requested, they were very responsive and very professional. We would use them again. Actually, in-laws are looking at having some work completed by them. Great people! read more

Called 2 times a week apart and left a message wanting a patio cover for my home. Nobody returned my call. Not the kind of business I want to deal with. I can imagine if a customer had an issue later that they would not return their call. I will not be recommending them to anyone. read more

Used Decathlon to replace our deck in the back yard. They ultimately did a good job and the pricing was great compared to other companies. However, the communication is terrible. You won't hear back from Jerry after the first meeting and it takes a while to get the job done. I mean a long while!! The workers they hire are great though. If you want to save money, then I would recommend this company. If you want high end customer service, then probably not. read more

Highly recommend these guys for a patio cover or arbor! They have built several for me and will build several more in the future!

Decathlon Construction build a covered patio and a small addition onto my kitchen. There were a few hiccups, and Jerry went above and beyond to ensure that I was 100% satisfied with the work. Jerry and April truly care about their product and they have top notch customer service. The price was better than most, and the finished patio and addition are above what I expected. I would recommend Decathlon to anyone! read more
