I recently hired Barney and the team at Evo Builders to sand and stain my deck, and the results are fantastic. From start to finish, Barney was incredibly responsive and offered a very competitive price. What really stood out was the team's attention to detail during the job. Even more impressive: when I noticed a month later that the stain looked a bit inconsistent on a few boards, Barney didn't hesitate. He sent the team back to repaint the areas at no extra cost. It's rare to find that level of integrity and customer service these days. Highly recommend them for any deck work! read more

We highly recommend Barney at Evo Building Solutions. We were in a real pickle after discovering serious damage to our deck that needed immediate attention. Barney responded quickly, explained several options, and recommended rebuilding it in balau, which turned out to be an excellent choice. He was knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to deal with throughout the project. Everything was completed on time, on budget, and the finished deck looks absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be happier with the result. Thanks, Barney read more

Barney was super responsive and easy to work with. They came out to do a free estimate within 48 hours of my initial message and aside from that, had great ideas, options and provided the exact info I needed. Would definitely use again. read more

I rarely write reviews, but Barney and his team absolutely deserve this one. I had a leaking issue with my waterproof deck that was causing leaks into the garage below. After getting several bids, I chose Barney because he was the most knowledgeable, honest, and straightforward contractor I spoke with -- and I'm extremely glad I did. Barney and his crew completely rebuilt the deck the right way: new plywood, proper waterproof layers, clean texture, and a modern gray finish that looks beautiful. They corrected the slope so water drains perfectly and doesn't pool anywhere. The final result looks like a brand-new deck and honestly makes the home feel more updated. They also repaired the water damage in the garage. Instead of patching just the damaged areas and leaving obvious marks, they repainted the entire ceiling so everything blended seamlessly. It now looks like nothing ever happened. Barney communicated well throughout the entire job, showed up on time, and honored everything he promised. The price was very fair for the quality of workmanship, and he even provided a warranty for the project. If you need waterproofing, deck repair, stucco work, or leak restoration, look no further. I would absolutely hire him again. Five stars without hesitation. read more

We've hired Barney and the team for three different jobs. Building a pergola, stucco work, and roof siding/trim repair. They've done an excellent job on all of them and we'll certainly work with them for future projects. They're reliable, knowledgeable, honest and very skilled. Thanks again guys! read more

Jasper and Barney did an amazing job on the beam work in my carport. They were super communicative throughout the entire process, always keeping me updated and making sure everything was clear. Very reliable, professional, and easy to work with. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and I really appreciate their attention to detail. I would definitely recommend them and would gladly work with them again in the future! read more

Barney and the Evo Builders team did a fantastic job tearing down and rebuilding my pergola. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and delivered quality results. Finding a reliable contractor for smaller projects can be a real challenge, but Evo Builders made it easy: fair pricing, prompt scheduling, and quick execution. I'd hire them again without hesitation read more

Had Barney and his team repair/rebuild an old fence. He and his guys were fantastic. Quick to respond. Thoughtful. Good at finding solutions as a few issues came up. Will hire them again. read more

Helped me do a couple decking projects. Was willing to do the project big or small. Price was fair, and Barney was knowledgeable about the products I needed, picked them up for me, and built very well read more

We had an old sunken hot tub we needed removed and deck built over it plus sanding and refinishing the rest of our deck. Put in a request here on Yelp and had many responses but Barney/Evo got back right away. Met with Barney and had a very good feeling. Professional but friendly and easy going. He said his quote would be "not the most expensive and not the cheapest" and that turned out to be true. But the less expensive quotes said they'd get the job done in a day or two which wasn't realistic at all. Evo turned out to be the best choice and it was a pleasant and easy experience over a week or so. He, Jasper and the crew worked hard and did it right. One thing that always makes me hesitant is contracts but his wasn't completely one sided like others we saw, language wasn't just "CYA" but was also clear on what they'd be responsible for. Anyway, the deck turned out great! We were kept up to date during the job, great communication throughout texting with us. Any issues were resolved without argument, very fairly and reasonably. So important to have someone you trust and feel comfortable around. Thanks Barney! read more

This is my second time working with Jasper and Barney and the results exceeded my expectations! They listened to my ideas and then improved upon them! read more

I needed some repairs to my house---both major and minor after it had been rented out for several years. I called Jasper at EVO Building Solutions and he was amazing! Fast and efficient, I had a quote that day and he started the next day. Jasper and his team are neat and conscientious, always tidying up at the end of the day. Repairs that I thought would take weeks to complete were finished quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Jasper and Barney and would use Evo Building solutions again in the future. I felt that repairs were done properly and to high standards.burbank read more

Barney and Jasper wer great! They built a lovely deck for us in Echo park. They were extremely professional, courteous and had a great attitude towards the project. Loved working with them and would hire them again any time! Importantly, they came with the lowest bid of all the offers we had and are a great value for LA. read more

We hired Barney and his company to repair our hill side patio which was starting to slip. He was super easy to work with and did a great job as promised. We are now discussing some additional projects together because we were so happy with his job! read more

I've stated the facts and would gladly send a PDF of the email workflow 'quote' to anyone. Can't attach here, unfortunately. Mine is NOT an inaccurate review as refuted by Evo Outdoor Solutions. I'm not angry, just disappointed at the lack of professionalism. It speaks volumes for 1) the (lack of) integrity to not deliver a detailed work quote, and 2) make false claims that I've posted an 'Inaccurate review,' and I'm 'passive aggressive' because as a consumer/homeowner, I want/need a legitimate quote? I NEED this work done! read more

Excellent job. Barney and Jasper installed a huge sun shade in my driveway and I couldn't be happier. Communicative, kept me in the loop on all aspects of the work. Very reasonably priced and professional craftsmanship. I can't recommend these ghighly enough. read more

So grateful to have found Evo! They not only do amazing, beautiful work, but they are so available at every stage of the project to discuss and plan and problem-solve. It was all quite stress-free. I hope to do more projects with them in the near future. I'd highly recommend them! read more

These guys are the real deal! Their work is top notch and they are the best priced. I must of called at least 20+ different vendors before I found Barney and Jasper. Admittedly so, I was cautious because they promised a price that was better than most (if not all) and a schedule that was faster than most (if not all). They delivered ahead of schedule and under budget. They built a 20x22 foot deck with bar rail, fence and pergola. Glad I went with them and will again in a heartbeat. There is no middleman! Stop looking and give them a call. Trade craftsmen who pay attention to every detail. read more

Great communication and honesty. Gave us a great rundown of how our pergola roof was doing. He even talked us out of extra work/$$$ I thought we needed to do but didn't. read more

Hired Barney and Jasper to build a pergola in my yard. I enjoyed working with them. They are earnest and honest people who showed up every day and worked hard. I liked that they don't work on multiple projects at the same time, so they came everyday until the work was completed. They finished the job on time, as promised. The guys are good natured, down to earth, and they cared about my concerns. They were also appreciative of my acknowledge of their hard work. Barney even pressure washed my yard when they finished the job. I was pleased with the pergola, and I recommend the guys for your project. read more

With the crazy weather of the past few winters, we had damage to multiple decks, and were in a bind with a tight timeline. Barney was super responsive, gave a good estimate, and was able to work within our schedule. They rebuilt the damaged areas, buffed and restained, and it looks great and feels rock solid. Most importantly--great communication, and was able to stick the schedule. Would definitely recommend to others and hire them again. read more

I was looking around to get estimates for a pergola covering for my swim spa, and didn't exactly know which direction I should go, or how much it would cost. Even though I did not move forward with the project, Barney from Evo provided me with excellent customer service, answered any and all questions I had and was very patient. What he quoted was over my budget, but if I had the money I would have looked into this company a little more. read more

Barney was super responsive, very communicative, and did a great job walking me through his plan of work and progress. I really appreciated that he actually thought through how to fix the problem my patio cover had, instead of skipping straight to a full rebuild. The work was done on-time, and under-budget, which is always a pleasant surprise, and I appreciated the full breakdown of costs he sent at the end of the work. I would happily work with him again in the future. read more

Can't recommend Barney and Jasper enough. By us providing a few simple pictures and ideas they created a beautiful deck, that surpassed our expectations. They walked us through each step and stayed in constant communication the entire time. The work was done quickly and efficiently without skimping or rushing. The end product was gorgeous and we'll definitely be spending much more time outside enjoying the gorgeous weather thanks to Barney and Jasper. read more

Fantastic work and all-around pros! The guys were very communicative and the pricing was great. They put a shade sail on the side of our house and it came out perfect, I couldn't be happier and will be sure to use them again. They deserve their high rating. read more

I love my new deck. It's exactly what I had in mind. I highly recommend Barney and Jasper. They are professional detail oriented deck builders. They even installed a six feet glass on the deck. I had an excellent experience and I am happy with the outcome. Thank you guys. I appreciate it! read more

My review is going to be focused on integrity and knowledge since other reviews focus on the actual work. I have worked with many contractors for both personal and work-related construction projects and EVO is one of the best. Barney has a great disposition that comes in handy if you stress out over projects. He has integrity and is honest and upfront about costs etc. and willing to flex. He is knowledgable, has good ideas, and is solution-oriented. And last but not least, he is accessible, anytime I had a question/text he responded promptly. These are all very rare traits in the construction business. Definitely call them!!! read more

Easy to work with and they pay attention to your needs. Worked with me to suggest something of high quality while cutting costs in unimportant areas of the project. Also very reasonable cost. I recommend Barney and Jasper. read more

I highly recommend this company. Barney helped me with wood deck staining questions and issues and was very helpful and knowledgeable. 5 stars for sure!! read more

We have an IPE outdoor deck that we have neglected and it has become gray and faded over time. We needed a light sanding/refinishing and stain to liven it back up. Barney and Jasper did a great job on recommending a great stain for our project - one that they thought would preserve our deck the best based on the type of wood we had. They were also very patient with my wife who had a hard time choosing what color stain she wanted (they had to go to home depot several times until my wife was happy with the sample stain color). Over the course of two days they worked from early in the am until basically the sun went down in order to get the project done in a timely and professional manner at a very competitive price. Extremely happy we went with them! read more

I have had two projects done so far and both turned out great. I had a pergola put in as well as a 7 x 7 deck for a jacuzzi. Both Barney and Jasper were top notch and professional throughout the process and very reasonably priced. All the work was done in a very timely manner and I couldn't have asked for a better result from their work. Thx guys! read more

I am a senior (60) on a limited budget living in Silverlake & I had recently purchased a large gazebo from Walmart when it was on sale...I needed someone to assemble & install it on my back patio...with the recent weather, I needed to cut down on the heat emanating into my non-air conditioned apartment... (( And Barney from Evo came to my rescue..!! )) I had spoken to a number of Yelp recommended handymen, but ALL of them either just blew me off or quoted me astronomical prices to just come over for a few hours for this small job... But not Barney: he understood my situation, gave me a reasonable quote & showed up that weekend on my schedule for the work...he even came by a couple of days later for a few "finishing touches" and to ensure the job was done completely... (( I cannot recommend him more highly )) Go to their website & see for yourself the quality of their work for large projects...pretty amazing stuff... But remember that these guys will do great on ANY project, big or small...and they really helped out an old punk like me when I needed them.... read more

I had another contractor cancel on me, so I had to find someone new to fix my deck in a short amount of time. Evo was great, they came out and gave me a bid very quickly, and when I had questions they immediately answered them and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted to do. Their actual work was excellent (they replaced a damaged wood beam plus did re-painting of my deck which is two stories), and their bid was very competitive. It's very likely a neighbor of mine is also going to use them for his deck repairs. Would highly recommend! read more

I hired Barney and his buddy to build a pergola for me in my back yard. It was a 16'X16' wooden one that they built and painted for me. The price was fair, the work was prompt, and the outcome was excellent. Any hiccups (as there always are) were easily worked out. If you are looking for a pergola, I'd highly suggest giving Barney a shot. I looked up many DIY pergola kits, but found that none of them met my needs in terms of dimensions. In addition, to DIY design your own pergola is a nightmare, not to mention the actual building process is a two person job. Go with the experts, and Barney is definitely one of them. He also gives great advice in terms of customizing the pergolas; at his suggestion, I added a trellis top so that plants can more easily weave along the roof. Thanks Barney! read more
