    The finished project.  Ron did an awesome job

    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.

    Ron did a great job replacing an old pergola and installing a completely new one. He's very reliable and responsive; if you call/text, he responds quickly. Would definitely recommend!

    We were looking to get a patio cover in our backyard and came across Ron on yelp. He surpassed our expectations! He came over after our initial reach out to do measurements and gave a quote right there. Very reasonably priced. He finished within the same week! We are so happy with our alumawood cover and would recommend to anyone. He explained everything thoroughly, had no hidden fees and was honest and genuine the whole way.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Ron just completed a fabulous Alumawood patio cover for us and we are so pleased with the final product. We would hire Ron again without hesitation.

    Mr Hardy you did it again! I'm not going to say much this being my 2nd time reviewing Hardy Built but I definitely will standby my first review. Thanks Ron it was a pleasure and look forward to working with you on the 3rd project.

    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.

    This is our second time using Ron Hardy for our patio cover. Professional, knowledgeable, super guy. If you want the work to get done on time and be beautifully and sturdily built, then call Ron. There is no one better.

    I asked for smaller ceiling beam and only 3 posts on mine to maximize view.

    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!

    Just had a patio cover built and it looks great. Was really good on price and quality of work. Definitely worth the money

    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. He pays attention to every detail and request. He is passionate about his job and builds as it is for his own house. We are thankful we found him. Thank you Ron!

I'm the type of person who is very specific about what I want and I did my homework. I got four different bids for this project, and C2C was the clear winner. Their quote was completely itemized--which I appreciated--and ended up being well under every other retail bid I received. Two people really made the difference: Mary and Bolo. Mary is a literal pro when it comes to the insurance side of things. She worked tirelessly on the supplements to ensure we maximized our RCV payout from our insurance. She caught things the adjuster missed and helped us get the settlement we actually needed to do the job right. Bolo, the project manager, was extremely responsive and reasonable throughout the entire build. Whenever a technical issue came up--even complex stuff like electrical circuit stability or specific plumbing heights--he was there to talk it through and get it handled. One thing I will say for people considering them: you need to be the kind of homeowner who has the capacity to stay on top of the work. If you know exactly what you want and you're willing to stay involved in the day-to-day details, C2C is an incredible solution. It's a partnership, and because I stayed engaged, we were able to hit a level of quality that usually costs twice as much. The house looks amazing (see the photos of the Blue Thunder Quartzite and the Jade tile!). They were fair, they were fast, and most importantly, they were responsive. Highly recommend if you want high-end results without the "luxury markup" of other firms.

Of the many options they had the best ideas and the qualified workmen. Mike Garst considered the project from every angle, brought in members of his team on 3 occasions to suggest approaches. When they opened the dry wall we found the supports were rotted & had to be replaced. They built a roof support, replaced damaged wood, added cement inside the walls higher than outside level to prevent leaks, then filled a beautiful solid cement floor and repaired the drywall. Better than good as new, this room boasts a superior foundation that gives me confidence. Every member of Mike's team is punctual, profesional, knowledgeable and courteous. When work was done, Mike came and, on his own account, adjusted the sticky sliding door so it moves smoothly. Mike's boss, Brian, also came several times to look over the project. I feel very fortunate to have had MASTERCRAFT take on this hugely complex project and bring a disaster to a happy ending.They explained options, patiently answered my questions and were courteous and pleasant throughout.

Interior Finishing: The drywall work and painting (both inside and out) were handled with meticulous care, leaving the office looking better than the original build. Product Quality: They selected and installed an excellent XO configuration window by Imperium, which has completely transformed the light and feel of the space. What impressed me most was their professionalism regarding logistics.

What immediately stood out to us was that he had ideas and solutions to address our pain points and make enhancements, we wouldn't have ever considered, and didn't just wait for us to tell him how we wanted things. He created a vision for us in that first quote visit. The other contractor we spoke to didn't provide any ideas just asked us how we wanted it. It was a very easy decision to go with Alon and Lumina Builders. Our project was estimated to take 2-3 months and ultimately took two and a half months to complete. We designed a brand new kitchen, addressing all of our concerns and adding a few recommendations from Alon to streamline some areas. They ripped everything out aside from the flooring and walls. We got brand new custom cabinets, custom lighting, and new countertops. Our fridge was moved to a new, more accessible area. Our sink was shifted down to align with the stove for continuity sake (never realized how much I hated it being in a corner previously). We had a new little cabinet built in our little breakfast nook area and we had an appliance garage built to house everything that took up counter space. Everything is so much brighter and more open and, even though we know the demensions are roughly the same, it feels so much wider. We are ecstatic with how everything came out. Alon is a genius. He was responsive to us throughout the project, checking in weekly to see how things were going, giving us peace of mind throughout this process, as first time remodelers. We were indecisive about the primary cabinet color (I was very worried we'd be stuck with something we didn't really like) but he worked with the cabinet makes to give us several samples to choose from. He was very patient with us. We LOVE how everything turned out! We'll definitely be using Lumina Builders for all of our future projects.
