This review is long overdue! After a disappointing experience with previous contractors for our backyard, we were hesitant and had lost trust in hiring again. That completely changed once we met the NCD team. From the start, Kira made everything feel clear, organized, and easy to navigate including estimate/costs. Which was absolutely with every penny. Tom and the crew are true professionals--honest, transparent, and knowledgeable about every aspect of the project, from design and options to overall strategy. They followed all city requirements and permits, which gave us added peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout the entire build/process. Tom and Kira kept us informed every step of the way, so there were never any surprises. The quality of the work was exceptional--meticulous attention to detail, precise cuts, accurate measurements, and perfectly leveled construction. The project also moved along faster than expected, taking only about 2.5 to 3 weeks from start to finish. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with an even better outcome. We now have a beautiful deck and fence that truly matches our vision for our home. I would highly recommend NCD to anyone looking for deck installation or related services. We're incredibly grateful and couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you to the entire NCD team! read more

George and his crew at North County Deck and Patio went above and beyond on a Trex deck and aluminum patio cover project for me. The whole team is made of talented and hard working craftsmen who ensured my vision was executed perfectly. Tom may seem rough around the edges but he kept my project on track and made sure it turned out exactly how I wanted. Kira has incredible follow-up and attention to detail and always communicates every single step of the way. The final product surpassed every expectation that I had and was worth every penny. I love my deck! read more

NCDP was not my lowest bid. I chose them over the others because they came out and measured but also took photos and provided a detailed proposal. They licensed and bonded and another NCDP employee came out to do a site analysis before ordering the material for the job. I knew when they were installing as their office kept me informed at least weekly. The installation was flawless and we got exactly what we ordered. From concept to final construction I knew what I was getting with NCDP. You should check them out! read more

North County Deck & Patio - Window awning project. - Decks & Railing Near Me - San Marcos, California

Replaced our rotting 2nd floor wood balcony w fire resistant composite and metal railings. Project took 4 days start to finish. Day 1 was teardown. Day 2 was to replace the support structure. Day 3 was the rafters and balcony floor. Day 4 was the remainder of the balcony and railings. Workers showed up at 8:30 and worked until about 3. Every day they stowed tools and equipment and swept so the work site was always tidy. Finished balcony was painted w matching paint and looks perfect. Porta potty was placed as asked during job and removed promptly at project close. Trellis was reattached to balcony and wiring was intact. read more

This was our second go around with NCD&P. Back in Mar. of 2021 they came out and repaired and replaced the top and railing of our deck. It came out beautiful. Recently we noticed that the TREX decking was not holding its color and looked faded. We contacted George and he came out and said this is a warranty issue. He helped us work with TREX to resolve the warranty issue and then replaced the decking which was all covered by TREX. Adam and Juan were our team and these guys are the best. George, Tom, and Kira are exceptional. If you want the best go with North County Deck and Patio. read more

George came out to discuss the project and promised to provide the quote shortly. Not only did I not hear back from the business, but also received no follow-up after I reached out, despite the online contact person responding with an assurance that they will get that to me. read more

I would highly recommend North County Deck and Patio if you would like a patio cover in your backyard. They are a group of friendly professional experts. Tom and George walked us through the process of choosing a patio cover and all the options and Eric and Jose installed it in a timely manner. Kira handled all the administrative tasks and was very helpful too. We are extremely happy with the patio cover as it not only provides much needed shade on hot days but will also keep the rain off most of our pavers once winter arrives - all while enhancing the appearance of our backyard. read more

From A-Z, we had a magnificent experience with NC Deck and Patio. I met with George when we noticed some serious "dry rot" on the support beams, joists, and railing structure of our 25 year old balcony. He came out, assessed the damage, went through options, and gave us a competitive bid. We waited a few months, and then called to schedule our project. Communication with George and (mostly, post-estimate) Kira in the office, was ALWAYS concise, professional, friendly, and TIMELY. Once the project was scheduled, we met with Tom (also very knowledgable and friendly), who went over the "fine points" of the project. The demolition and construction began as promised on a Monday. Adam, James, and Rick were SUPER polite, professional, VERY hard-working, and skilled. They were on-the-job early, were mindful of noise (as best one can considering the project), they were careful with things on our backyard, and informed us about the progress each day. The demo/construction took 4.5 days, which we thought was pretty impressive. Our new balcony looks SENSATIONAL! I honestly could not have hoped for a better overall experience (and trust me, I am not a fan of inflated or "fake" praise). It was our absolute pleasure to have worked with the whole gang at NC Deck & Patio! read more

North County Deck & Patio did a wonderful job of replacing our 24 year old deck. Adam and Juan were very personable and very professional. They never failed to ask questions rather than try to guess what we wanted. The end result is absolutely beautiful. Adam and Juan completely removed the old deck and supporting structures so we should be good for at least 24 more years. Tom's design is elegant and striking. Special thanks to Kira for coordinating. We love our new deck and highly recommend North County Deck & Patio. read more

North County Deck & Patio were amazing. We had a very unique space to install a patio cover. George came out to assess and discuss options, which were perfect for what we had in mind. Kira in the office handled everything from scheduling, invoicing, etc with professionalism. Eric the installer was extremely personable and installed our cover to our unique space perfectly. We love it! It transformed the space into one of the best spots in our home! The patio cover is insulated which helps during extreme weather, includes rain gutters to control the rain fall, and is visually stunning. Thank you all so much! read more

We had three estimates before deciding on a contractor to replace our large balcony. NCD&P surpassed all in terms of knowledge and cost. The work was performed completely to our satisfaction every way. The workmen were terrific and always left our home in perfect condition at the end of each day. Our balcony is so well constructed and beautiful. We highly re commend them. read more

Count us among the many homeowners converting from wood to aluminum patio structures whose experiences with North County Deck & Patio were very positive. NCDP was recommended to us by a painting contractor who had worked for us. NCDP's owner and CEO George Hesse came to our house, was friendly and professional and explained the product and process. The project foreman and workmen were likewise courteous and professional. They dismantled our old patio and installed a beautiful new patio cover in three days' time. We had vines and plants that clung to our previous structure. The workers carefully preserved them, and the lead worker Chris reattached the plants to our new structure in a more effective and aesthetically pleasing way than I had done. When my wife and I inspected the work in progress, had questions, or were rethinking design issues (lattice spacing, foundation work, etc.), the leads and workers all conveyed an attitude that our complete satisfaction with the final result was their number one goal. The price was reasonable, they stuck to their estimate, and Kira in the office was friendly, patient and informative about progress payments and any administrative matters. It was a pleasure working with NCDP. We love the quality and design of our new patio cover, and we would not hesitate to use them again. Mark & Jane V. read more

We hired North County Deck & Patio to replace an old wood patio cover, and we have nothing but great things to say about them. Every step of the process was excellent - from our initial meeting with George to discuss the project, to the thoughtfulness and thoroughness of the demo and build teams, to Kira's communications to ensure we were updated through the entire project. We love our new patio cover! I would wholeheartedly recommend their services and we will definitely contact them again in the future should the need arise. read more

We love our new patios that were just installed by North County Deck & Patio. These replaced redwood decking that we have enjoyed for the past 40 years. We are especially appreciative of all the help provided by everyone at North County Deck who participated in our project! From my first discussions with George the owner who provided excellent guidance on design and materials decisions, to the project leadership from Tom who took careful measurements and thought through so many of the challenges that projects like this entail. But I especially want to acknowledge the team that made all the day to day project decisions and detail work so well done by Adam and excellent workmanship by Juan. One of our goals for our new patios was to make them safer from wild fires, so we chose TimberTech AZEK decking that is Class A rated for fire safety. They have a way of fastening the decking where you don't even see the fasteners at all which makes for a very clean look. We were also seeking to have the upper patio shaded and the rain water channeled away. So NCDP recommended an Elitewood aluminum patio cover. The day after the cover was completed it rained, and only the edges of the patio even got wet. Our new patios just extended our home by about 500 square feet! read more

We had our second story balcony completely redone by NC Deck & Patio. They gave us the best quote of the other two companies. There was dry rot on the deck that needed replacement, but we decided to replace the whole thing. The columns were wood and stucco and we wanted to keep them, but after demolishing the deck the columns looked good on the outside but were rotten inside thus they had to be replaced. We were very happy with the job they did and made the balcony look much more modern than it did before. Their design that we settled on made for much easier maintenance than the old balcony. One thing that impressed us was that they kept us updated on the schedule so we were never surprised as to when they were and were not going to be there to work on it. There were some delays, but it was never a problem. If we had questions, we could always reach out to Kira and we would get an answer promptly. The workers were pleasant and friendly, always working steadly throughout the process. The only issue I had was that they had left a few paint drops on the concrete after painting that I had to clean up. Other than that we were very happy with their work and highly recommend them. I've attached before and after pictures. read more

North County Deck & Patio brought our dream deck to life! Superior service from start to finish; the selection process, build and final touches (the light caps are gorgeous at night!), we are so happy with the results.

Very happy I called and chose NCD&P. I concur with all the Yelp praise reviews regarding George's handling analysis, quote and explanation of possibilities for the replacement of my deck off my upstairs master bedroom. Also Kira's responsiveness to the handling of communications and billing. The crew, Ric and Kai, were steadfast, hardworking and professional throughout the four plus days, a couple of them hitting 97 degrees! I highly recommend this company. read more

This is one of those rare moments when Yelp reviews did not help. We contacted this company due to their Yelp reviews and they showed up, assessed the project and then never called back. We had to call them a few times to get them to respond and he finally told us it was too big of a project?? I am not a contractor, but the last thing I would think is that a project is too big, especially when it is a simple deck refurbish. Disappointed in the lack of communication to say the least, but adding this review as it might help someone else if you start to see a trend. read more

They did a great job re-doing our deck (that was poorly constructed by a previous owner, and we needed a ton of work). George was incredibly helpful, and he spent a lot of time with us just to understand some of the challenges, provide some considerations / options for what we might want to do, and give us a quote. A couple of other local providers gave quick estimates in an attempt to start working and "figure it out", but we did not feel nearly as comfortable with what some of these other providers might actually do. When it came time to scheduling and doing the job, Tom and the team were great. They were transparent with the steps to completion, and we discussed some options / pivots along the way. Most importantly - the final product is terrific, and we are really happy we chose to work with North County Deck & Patio. read more

George, the owner, came out to my home about one year ago. He took measurements, showed me product samples, and left some brochures of quality, durable and low maintenance products for decking and rail system. I contacted him about a year later on August 31, 2022, when I had my funds. He came by and we discussed the project and design in detail. I signed the contract mid-September. I wanted two pergolas, stairs and rail replacement, and new carport to be built. With delays from the holidays, driveway installation, and the rainstorms, the project was finally finished 1/17/23. I am very happy with the end results. The crew is great, courteous, and responsive to my needs. I highly recommend them. read more

We received quotes from several deck experts as well as handyman services. The price is fair but what really sold us is the pictures and service. We had a few lazy contractors who didn't even want to bother coming over to give me an estimate. Kira the office manger is very detailed and organized. George came over and answered our questions and emails. Tom came by and was so great with explaining the process. Our installers Adam and Matt....wow. These two are detailed. You can see it in their work. So impressed with this company. Would highly recommend. Very professional the whole way through. read more

NCD&P recently built a two-story deck for us. They did a fabulous job! And Will was an amazing on-site manager. I highly recommend them.

North County Deck & Patio did a great job building a beautiful deck for us. Our old and dilapidated wood deck was replaced with Trex and the design, quality and look of the new deck is outstanding. We especially appreciate the attention to detail Chase and Wes put into their work constructing the deck. They were professional and thorough, and it was reassuring to have work done without feeling like we had to keep a close eye on the process to be sure it was done right. This company and the employees were easy to work with and we highly recommend North County Deck & Patio for any deck or patio projects. read more

We just had our rotting balcony replaced by North County Deck & Patio, and we had a spectacular experience! George, the owner, came out to see us and gather information to make a quote. And his quote was definitely less than some others we had received. We also met Tom, the project manager, who came out to discuss the specifics of the project with us. Kira, the office manager, was great to deal with. We decided to go ahead with North County, and they surpassed all of our expectations! Our crew was Rick and Adam -- and not only were they extremely competent, they were the friendliest guys to be around. They worked hard every day, seeming to have superhuman strength lifting all that heavy stuff. At the end of each day, they cleaned up everything. It was interesting to watch them work. And every part of the job was done with precision and skill. The end result was way beyond our expectations. We LOVE this new balcony, especially the Azek decking and the stainless steel cable fencing. Anyone thinking about putting in a new deck or balcony should go with North County Deck & Patio. They are the best! read more

We highly recommend North County Deck and Patio. We have a 2 story home. We wanted our 30 foot long balcony deck replaced with IPE wood. We also wanted a new cable railing, new fascia boards, and a new Elitewood patio cover. We had a number of companies come out and give us estimates. We chose NCDP because George was so knowledgeable and he gave us an estimate that was within our budget. Tom then did the precise measurements and finalized the materials. He was also very knowledgeable. Ben and Evan did an amazing job getting all the work done. They are clearly experts at what they do. Kira, the Office Manager, did a great job communicating with us. Our whole family is very pleased with the results. We are very happy to recommend NCDP to all our family and friends. read more

Wonderful company to work with, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Quote was competitive. I appreciated that the owner is the one who quoted the job, not a salesperson out for a good commission, but one invested in the reputation of the company and the quality of the work. Highly recommended! read more

We are so pleased with this company and their work. We replaced and expanded a smaller lower wood deck with Trex. Kira who is in the office does a phenomenal job of keeping you updated and communicating often which is extremely helpful. They were able to move our project up so we got the work finished earlier. The site supervisor was great trouble shooting some layout issues we had and the crew working onsite were respectful timely and efficient. Not to mention NCDP even took the step of submitting the Trex warranty on our behalf. Just outstanding service all the way around. We can't be more pleased with the results. read more

I can't say enough good things about my construction experience with NCDP! From the first contact for an estimate through project completion has been smooth sailing. After rejecting 4 other bids I was ready to give up on my second story deck project for a while. I tried one more time with an estimate from NCDP. They were more professional AND knowledgeable about Oceanside code than anyone else I interviewed. Price was not lowest but far from highest. Again, it was their professionalism and attitude that won me over! Shout outs to Kira, John, Tom, but especially Eric and the crew as they did the beautiful work to create my 400 sq ft ocean view deck. I definitely recommend NCDP! Dr. K. B. read more

I hired NCDP in the summer of '19 to build a large custom pergola with heavy timber. I was just admiring how well everything has held up over the past few years so decided to leave a review.

Have you looked at your old patio cover lately?If its's wood with peeling paint and is beyond help, there is only one answer, call North County Deck & Patio for a quote right away! I had a 30+ year old wood patio cover that desperately needed replacing. I was pleasantly surprised to learn of the many options now available for patio cover replacement. Decided to go with a combo of solid and lattice covers using alumawood material. Timely office response & scheduling, precise, efficient installation and was coordinated with my paver contractor's schedule. Solid cover extends my living space with a ceiling fan and lattice provides filtered sunlight to manage the southwest afternoon heat. The best part, no maintenance!! I could not be happier with my new living space. Thanks to all at NCDP, incredible job!! read more

These guys did an excellent job for us. They've been building decks for 17 years, and it showed. The estimate, the crew, office support, all were efficient and professional. The job started sooner than promised, and finished faster. The job site was always neat and clean at the end of each day. See the photo of the finished deck. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

BAIT AND SWITCH!!! BEWARE We recently had a pergola built at our home, the company came out and provided a professional estimate and included everything we wanted. However, after work started, and on the last day of construction, the company indicated they could not complete the electrical work (for safety reasons so how could we argue) we had contracted them for and then provided a small discount. Unfortunately, the discount was only for about half of what the actual work will cost in real life. In going back and forth with the owner, he indicated that they had refunded more than double what their electrical estimate was for them to complete. However, this only provides evidence to us that they did in fact bait and switch my wife and me. How could they perform the work for what ended up being approximately 1/4th the cost of two estimates I have subsequently had done for the electrical work they refused to complete? The company is not honest, they do not employ a real electrician as they eluded to in their estimate and they ended up being more expensive than all other estimates we originally had done. They actually ended up being our highest estimate (when we factor in needing to have the electrical work contracted out) because they promised they could do all the work at once, saving us a large headache of hiring another contractor. Yet, here we are, they backed out and only refunded a small portion of the original contract. In trying to resolve the issues (request a small, additional refund to cover more of the electrical work), the company indicated that they had to change the job and increase the size of our pergola and did not pass on any cost to us, so they wouldn't do it. However, this was their estimate and their mistake so why should they pass along any cost to us when their estimate was not correct. We never asked to change anything. I mistakenly paid the full bill, less the small discount for the electrical, thinking they would be stand up guys and help us get the job completed for around the price they refunded, as they hinted at when they backed out of the work. However, their one and only referral was almost double their refund. When I told them this they eventually gave me two more electricians names who, (electrician 1) is booked through the summer, and (electrician two) never returned my phone calls. PROS: - Nice, English speaking builders, friendly and easy to work with - Provided can of varnish, at our request, to coat our table (however we applied on our own) CONS: - Bait and switch - The most expensive contractor out of 4 estimates (once we add back in 3rd party electrical) - A lot of dripping and oozing sap (we were not told this would happen or how to care for it) - Paint is bubbling in many spot (not made aware this could occur with darker paints) - Job site left with a lot of sawdust, screws and scrap wood - No "finishing touches" on our built-in table, many rough edges and splinters on our eating surface edges, catching on clothes, skin, etc. read more

After interviewing over 12 different local contractors, I selected North County Deck and Patio all my patio covers and BBQ covers. I selected North County because I believed they were a local, family owned company who would stand by their word and stand behind their work. The did not disappoint! George (owner) is a consummate professional, well versed in all aspects of outdoor landscaping. His office manager, Kira, basically runs all the planning and administrative activities and was excellent to deal with throughout the engagement. The coordination on my job was especially difficult because I was acting as the GC coordinating with a pool company, hardscape company, the softscape / planting and irrigation contractors, and the lighting contractor. George was also an excellent resource for me (incompetent GC...) providing timely education on other aspects of my project, even though North County's piece was only a 1-2 day engagement which they started on time, managed well, and finished on time, as promised. This enabled me to keep the rest of the project seamless and enabled me to complete well ahead of many of my neighbors who used other contractors. THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE DEDICATION, COMMITMENT, AND EXPERTISE OF GEORGE, TOM, AND KIRA! I would not hesitate to recommend North County Deck and Patio for any similar job, and welcome anyone to contact me for additional feedback as needed. read more

Experts at work! My husband and I could not be happier with our new pergola. I've included some photos. Look at those corners, look at the straight beams. There was quite a bit of design work to fit the pergola under our eaves, but they handed it very well.

They came across as truly professional, very friendly, very concerned that the customer ends up happy. We're so glad we went with them! read more
