Your Deck Builder did a great job on our deck. I could not be happier. The quality, service and…read morevalue beat out other companies. The payment schedule was part of the contract so no guessing. We had an old deck that had seen better days so an upgrade was needed. We went with Trex composite. Angel, Raul and Joel did a great job. Professional, hard working and listened to our needs. Angel was the foreman and came to the house every day to make sure the project was on track and also rolled up his sleeves when needed. John handled the contract and payment schedule and was very easy to work with as well. They also finished the project within the timeline set in the contract. I plan on hiring them again for our front deck.

In my 60+ years, I have hired more contractors than I care to remember. There were many good ones…read moreand, unfortunately, many terrible ones. In all my dealings with the contractors, I have never had an experience like what I had with YourDeckBuilders.com. Whenever I hire a contractor, I always make an effort to observe the workers to see how they do their job. If I watch any of them long enough, I would always notice something that is not up to par and had to ask them to do it correctly. With Angel(project manager) and his crew, however, I did not have a single incident where I thought they did a subpar job. It was always a pleasure to see how much attention they pay to the details. It was obvious that the crew takes pride in their work. It didn't take long before I felt perfectly comfortable to let them do their work and only check on the progress once in a while. Each time I go check, my spirit is lifted anew by all the fresh signs of quality workmanship. Besides the satisfaction with the workmanship, I much appreciate Angel's emphasis on safety. This is especially important to me because our deck is on a hillside. I was thrilled to see Angel's team putting in more than 50 deep footings(yes, I counted them), each one down to the bedrock supporting the deck. To this old engineer's eyes, it was clearly an overbuilt for safety, and I love every bit of it. I know in my heart that when the big quake hits, my family will be perfectly safe standing on our deck. In all my previous contractor experiences with any sizeable project, there was never a time where I didn't experience at least some stress and anxiety, whether on quality, schedule, cost, etc. During my entire experience with YourDeckBuilder.com, I have experienced nothing but excitement and satisfaction. It was a uniquely strange feeling that I shared with my wife and family repeatedly during the duration of the project because I could never have expected my experience with any contractor to be so pleasant. The guys at YourDeckBuilder.com are, by far, the best contractor I have ever worked with.

With a lot of contractors, there would be a light of hands on management in the day to day but with MG Contruction, they ran the whole operations seaminglessly while keeping me up to date on the progress. Having been busy at work, they save me a lot of my time and hassle from having to spend too much time reviewing this project. They are well organized and Michael definitely has been doing this for a long time. The pricing for his company is more than fair for the high quality of work. Both James and Max were great when I reached out with questions, they were very responsive. A big thank you to his awesome team who helped build the deck and showed up everyday with a smile. One of the reason why I went with MG Construction was because Michael's eagle eye was able to notice certain detail of the job that that the other contractors who provided bids overlooked. I rarely provide reviews for company but MG Construction certainly deserves this one. I will definitely use this company for my future landscape projects.

If you're looking for a contractor for a backyard remodel with high-end design and quality work, I highly recommend Michael and his team.

1-Star Review: Very Disappointing Experience With LA Railings (Van Nuys)…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience using LA Railings in Van Nuys. Nothing about this installation went smoothly, and the final result still looks uneven. I was originally told the installation would take 1.5 to 2 hours, but the crew was in my home for 5.5 to 6 hours, which completely disrupted my day. The first major issue was the handrail installation. The brackets were placed 3.5 inches off the glass railing, which looked completely wrong for a narrow residential staircase. When I contacted the owner, he insisted that 3.5 inches was "required by code." I asked for the exact code because my research showed no such requirement. He later admitted there is no code, and agreed to replace them at 1.5 inches, which is how they should have been installed from the beginning. The glass installation was also problematic. The panels were not flush, requiring three separate appointments before they finally aligned them. Even now, the spacing between the glass panels is uneven -- one gap is noticeably larger than the others. If spacing was part of the design, it should have been even and intentional, not random. Another issue I was disappointed to discover is that the base they installed includes four weep holes. Weep holes are typically used for drainage in exterior or commercial installations, not inside a home. In a residential staircase, they simply look like four chips in the base. This was never explained or discussed with me beforehand, and it detracts from the clean, modern look I specifically hired them to create. What was most frustrating was the lack of accountability. I contacted the owner again regarding the uneven glass spacing, and he never responded. After all the issues and return visits, the complete lack of follow-up or courtesy was unacceptable. For the price I paid, I expected professional workmanship, accurate information, and proper customer service. Instead, I received misinformation, repeated corrections, and unresolved issues that still impact the appearance of my home. I cannot recommend LA Railings. The product itself could have been beautiful, but the execution, communication, and attention to detail were extremely disappointing.

We engaged LA Railings in the middle of the project, before we did any work on our existing stairs. We had two sets of non-floating stairs, a landing, and a set of floating stairs. The floating stair case, the most complex of the project, was made longer and wider, and having them involved in this piece of the project was important. We had new steel treads welded and the stand off bolts were welded before tread installation. Precise measurements and plans were very important. Sharam came on site several times before the project started and worked closely with our GC and Welder. I worked with Clalyton on the design. He gave me a few options, where the standoffs would be placed. I also able to visit the store front in North Hollywood. Sharam gave me a few different standoff sizes to try out on the treads after the hardwood wraps were completed. This really helped to decide the aesthetically the best size to use. The work crews that came out were very professional and helpful explaining the work and next steps. They took care to protect our home as most of it was finished work. It took several visits to complete the work (very large job) and do some adjusting. Sharam came out several times during the installation phase to oversee the work. Glass Railings really change and beautify your home. We had mostly metal railings, clean look, but now our floating staircase with the glass railings are absolutely the star of the home when you walk inside. Are they pricey? Yes, but even custom metal railings are expensive. These glass panels are tempered (think shower doors) AND double layered. If you have done any shower doors (we recently did 3 sets for 3 bathrooms) or installed new windows/sliding glass doors (I can't count how many we just installed!), glass is very expensive! Highly recommend using LA Railings and definitely wouldn't hesitate to use them again! Sharam, Clayton, and Staff were excellent!

I decided to have my deck refinished by Patios4All and I couldn't be happier with the results! Naturally the deck is old and some places are not 100% but it beats spending $10k to re build the whole deck. The team was professional, they showed me a few stain options, they performed some light sanding to the surface and applied 2 coats. They took the time to explain the process and answer all of my questions. I will probably stretch it for a few more years and have it replaced for a trex deck so no maintenance, but I do know who I would call when the time comes.

We were looking to make it a bit more contemporary. With Pearl's help we designed a modern structure covered with stucco and some wood work on top of it for some contrast. This required an actual plan submitted to the city believe it or not but I guess they have to do for the building permit process. It took some time but eventually we got approved. We went with an Ipe deck for the floors, no stain was added, just a clear coat for protection. The result is amazing! They have exceeded our expectation. From the very beginning they were on time, kept us informed on the permit process and everything. As in every project I'm sure we have minor delays but I rather wait and get better results than finish fast and then feel sorry for not perfecting the project or making mistakes

Their craftsmanship is flawless: every weld is clean, the powder-coat is even, and the wood inlays sit perfectly flush with the metal frame. Sam's father personally checked each panel for plumb and level, and the team worked long days to finish ahead of schedule without cutting corners. They left the site spotless, even hauling away the old fencing and sweeping the driveway. Beyond the technical excellence, communication was a breeze. Sam texted progress photos, confirmed small details (hinge style, post-top finials) before committing, and honored the original quote to the penny. If you want ironwork that's equal parts art and engineering--delivered by people who treat your project like their own home--hire Exotic Iron Works.

I initially contacted Yair through Yelp, and he responded immediately to schedule an on-site walkthrough and provide an estimate. The project involved rebuilding an upper main deck, a lower deck, and two sets of stairs using composite materials (Trex/TimberTech). Because of the unique design of the house and lot, all elements were irregularly shaped, so I specifically wanted a true deck specialist. Yair quickly provided a detailed and competitive quote, offered expert guidance on design and construction details, and brought material samples to help with selections. His pricing was the most competitive given the scope of work, and he committed to an aggressive one-month timeline that was my hard deadline to ensure the deck would be completed in time for Christmas holiday parties. Yair's five-person crew arrived on time every day, kept the site clean at the end of each shift, and demonstrated exceptional attention to detail. The workmanship was excellent throughout: hidden clip systems were used for a clean, screwless look across the deck surfaces, countersunk plugs were used along the borders, and all cuts and measurements were precise. As someone who works in real estate development and is very detail-oriented about construction quality, I was extremely impressed with the final result. Additionally, the team went above and beyond by reinforcing the foundation and underlying framing to prevent future settling, rather than relying solely on the original footings that had been compromised by termite damage. Yair was on site daily to supervise the work and provide expert input on several challenging transitions and angles created by the home's layout. The project was completed in just 12 working days--ahead of the planned 15-day schedule--with no cost overruns. Overall, I highly recommend Dr Deck to anyone looking for high-quality craftsmanship, professionalism, and reliable execution on a deck project.
