Ron (and JP) installed a beautiful patio made of alumawood! The finished product reflected real expertise and attention to detail. He was careful at the outset to understand my vision and incorporate existing and future lighting needs. He can't even count how many of these he's installed over the years, but the cool one he did in Vista/S Melrose years ago made a difference when we were looking for ideas. Well done, Hardybuilt team! read more

Ron, thank you again for making our 2nd pergola. I liked how you always kept in contact, you were always thorough, and you do fantastic work. A man with integrity, and does exactly what he says he is going to do. read more

I was looking for someone to repair my patio cover for several months. So happy I found Ron! He removed my previous termite rotted patio cover and replaced with this beautiful Alumawood style. It's exactly the color I wanted and Ron had great attention to detail. I no longer have to worry about rain season since my patio is now protected. I highly recommend Ron's services. read more

We were looking for someone to replace our old patio cover with an Alumawood solid patio cover. When we called Ron, he came over the next day and gave us a quote before he left. The quote was much lower than the other quotes we had gotten and just by speaking with Ron for about a half hour, we knew he was the guy we wanted to put the patio cover up for us. Ron has been installing patio covers for many years, does all of the work himself and shows up when he says he is going to show up and works hard all day long. We showed Ron a picture of the type of patio cover we wanted and Ron gave us exactly what we wanted, including installing lights in the cover and wiring it for a fan. He was great to work with, is a super-nice guy and about as honest as they come. His work was superb. I would highly recommend Ron Hardy and Hardy Built to anyone looking to have a patio cover installed. read more

Ron came to the rescue when my patio cover, though appeared structurally sound, became loose and was at risk of collapsing during a backyard construction project. He was very responsive, coming out the next day to secure it with his tripods. Ron then worked diligently to replace the old cover with a beautiful new Alumawood patio cover. Ron works independently. He was efficient and thorough. Ron is polite, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. If you're looking to install an Alumawood patio cover, I highly recommend reaching out to Ron. And if you're a plumeria lover, be sure to check out his great plumeria inventory too! read more

We had a pre-existing wood pergola that wasn't in the best condition and after doing some initial research, it sounded like replacing with Alumawood would be an excellent option to have the look of wood without the maintenance that comes with it. I talked to a few different companies but ultimately went with Ron Hardy of HardyBuilt for a few reasons: 1. he is a very genuine individual who operates with the utmost integrity, 2. Was able to write up a quote on the spot that ended up being middle of the pack but straight forward - no hidden details or upsells, and 3. was able to do the work in a reasonable amount of time - a couple of other companies, though bigger, wouldn't even commit to the idea of work starting by than fall or winter. With Ron it took just over a month from initial contact to competition. As far as the work is concerned, we are very happy with the final results. There were some unexpected snags at the beginning of the project regarding the footings but Ron rolled with the punches and was determined to honor his quote. We ended up going with a solid cover with built in lights and he was able to shave off a bit of the cost since he didn't need to use all the lights he was originally planning to use. He even fixed our side gate latch that had been sticking while he was here. Throughout the process he was very communicative as to when to expect materials and if there were any conflicts in his schedule to work around. All in all, Ron is clearly someone who takes great pride in his work and that shows in the final product. We will be very happy to pass his name along to anyone else we know who is looking for this kind of work! Don't hesitate to contact Ron if you need a new Alumawood cover - he will go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of! read more

Mr. Ron is hands down the most pleasant and honest contractor we've ever worked with, and we mean it 100%. We met him at the Escondido Farmers Market one day when he was selling the most beautiful plumerias. He delivered them to our house, and we asked what kind of work he does when we saw his truck. We happened to be looking for someone to build a patio cover at the time, and he immediately gave us a quote right then. No BSing like most contractors who go home and think about how much they can overcharge on things. We were quoted so many ridiculous prices from other companies, Mr. Ron had them all beat. To top it all off, this is alumawood material, so it lasts for life. It's lightweight, comes with an installed gutter system, and there's no re-staining required like with wood. Once the material was in hand (which didn't take long), Mr. Ron was done within a couple of days and we were outside enjoying our patio. Check out the pics! Thank you so much Hardy Built! Tip: Check out his plumerias for sale! read more

If you want an Alumawood Patio cover, Ron Hardy is your guy! I got several quotes and Ron's was in the middle. I decided to go with him for several reasons: * Experience - From the consultation meeting with Ron, I could tell he has years of experience building patio covers. He knows his stuff! * Custom design - I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, but I did know what I didn't want. Ron asked the right questions to develop the design for the patio cover that I wanted but couldn't quite articulate. He even came back to meet with my husband for an hour to answer questions and discuss technical details. * Workmanship - Ron does precision work, which takes time, energy, patience, and skill, and it shows...beautifully! I'm extremely happy with the finished product. It exceeds my expectations for form and function. I wholeheartedly give 5 stars to Ron Hardy and Hardy Built! read more

Recently had my old wood patio cover torn down and replaced with an Alumawood Patio Cover designed and installed by Ron Hardy and couldn't be happier! He was friendly, the quote was super competitive and he kept me up to date on timing as we waited for the materials to arrive. He demo'd the old patio cover, relocated the the post positions, replaced the old brick and then constructed the new cover. He gave us options, explained every step along the way, kept the work area clean and is also just a nice, friendly guy. If you need an Alumawood Patio cover Ron Hardy is your man. read more

I'll have to agree with everyone else and give Hardy Built a 5 star rating. Ron responded shortly after I e-mailed him, and met with me a couple of days later. He gave me a detailed quote on the spot, which was priced very reasonably, so I accepted right away and gave him the deposit before he left. He coordinated with our paver installer and started our project one week later. He was hard working, provided lots of suggestions on layout and design, and he was immaculate on details. And he always cleaned up before he left for the day. He's a nice guy and very pleasant to talk to. The quality of the finished patio cover was perfect. We are 100% satisfied. read more

Ron is the King of patio covers in North County! He is a one-man company, so there's no finger pointing about poor outcomes. The price seemed good to me (though I didn't shop). He does covers only, and has it down. Super detail oriented, fastidiously neat. Ron is also a hilarious character, so be ready for some banter! read more

Ron did a fantastic job on our alumawood patio cover. He has years of experience doing patio covers and knew how to modify the cover to fit the height of our house. He worked really hard to get it done quickly and cleanly. read more

I had a patio cover built by someone else that was pulling away from my house. I didn't trust the original patio cover builder to fix it properly. On a long shot I decided to call Ron at Hardy Built, hoping to just get an expert opinion on how to fix my cover. I was pleasantly surprised when he said he would take a look at it for me, even though he builds patio covers that don't need repair. He came and saw my problem and probably took some pity on me, seeing that the solution would require some real expertise. He agreed to do the repair and I have to say that I am delighted with the result. His solution was cleverly designed and done in such a way that the structure was strengthened by many times without the extra supports even showing. He was methodical, careful, and thorough as he completed a very complicated job. The job went very much like the other reviewers so positively described. I think what Ron charged was very reasonable for the amount of work it ended up being. Thanks to Ron's great work, I will never have to worry about my patio cover again. To add to my positive experience, Ron also happens to be a very pleasant guy to work with. If I ever need a new or different patio cover, I will choose Ron to build it for me in a heartbeat. I highly recommend him and Hardy Built. read more

We are super happy with our aluminum patio cover. Ron's work ethics and professionalism are excellent. He makes sure you are happy and a satisfied customer.

Hardy Built - General Contractors Near Me

After a clueless contractor bailed when he could not figure out how to install new shower doors, I made an SOS call to a bathroom remodeling company and was referred to Ron Hardy (Hardy Built). Ron immediately knew why the new shower doors did not fit and helped me find the right materials. He even returned the wrong parts back to the retailer. I was impressed with his knowledge and expertise at solving the problem - and he has been my contractor ever since. Ron is professional, trustworthy, reliable, affordable, and his craftsmanship is superb. He can do a variety of work, from small to complex. He has upgraded every room in my house doing painting, tile work, fireplace upgrades, bathroom remodeling, baseboards, flooring, doors, locks, lighting, and more. If the work requires a contractor with a specific set of skills that is outside of Ron's area of expertise, he knows who to call. Although he professes he is not a "designer", Ron has a great sense for what works and what doesn't. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Ron isn't the cheapest provider of patio covers, nor is he the fastest. But what we got was a beautiful patio cover, carefully designed and installed, at a very competitive price. (Here's a link to a photo: (https://photos.app.goo.gl/HJ6H7GqnK9haTfnw8) We got three estimates, and Ron's was in the middle. The lowest bidder also said that he'd build it in one day or less. Ron took his time and did it right, taking about a week from start to finish. Even on the estimate he spent at least twice as much time as the other two bidders, considering and explaining all the options on this complex project. He has been doing only patio covers for many years, he knows the business thoroughly, and he does the installation personally, paying attention to each detail. Nothing was done sloppily or hurriedly, and whenever there were options he paused to discuss them with us. His priority is making sure that the client will be happy with the finished product. I will say that it was also a pleasure getting to know Ron (a very interesting fellow who was trained as an opera singer!) and his little dog, Blue, who accompanied him most days. If you are looking for a beautifully finished patio cover that will add value to your home, you will be doing yourself a favor if you talk with him about your project. read more

We've used Hardy Built on a very large project, 44 x 12 feet closed patio cover. Extended our 'living space', in rain or sun. Since then, Ron has worked on another project and doing one now.

You know you have a reliable, reasonably priced contractor when you send a quick text and he responds almost immediately and always fair pricing. read more

Ron was fantastic! His work is impeccable! I am so pleased with my new patio cover. I recently landscaped my backyard and it was the finishing touch.

I highly recommend! read more
