Dave (owner) came over for a consultation on deck repair. He was forthcoming and personable, told…read moreme the deck was fine just needed replacing the top rails. While here I mentioned we've always wanted a solid roof on our patio cover, which runs the entire width of our south-facing backyard. We decided to go with his recommendation of translucent polycarbonate panels. His crew replaced all damaged wood, added reinforced bracing and painted the entire structure. Couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommended!

I originally called Fraser Decks to see if they could fix an old, dilapidated gazebo in my…read morebackyard. I spoke to the owner, Dave, on the phone and sent him some pics of my gazebo issue. The price he quoted me on the phone was too high for my budget, but he admitted he wouldn't pay that much to fix the gazebo either. He then flipped the script and gave me the name and number of the handyman that HE uses when he needs one. His honesty and straight forwardness earns him a 5 star rating and future consideration for any decks or patios I might decide to build. And you may ask, who was this magic handyman that I ended up using? Well, Smokin' Joe doesn't advertise, and you won't find him on Yelp (I promised I wouldn't start a Yelp page for him), his work comes from personal recommendations from his clients, and he's got enough to keep him busy till retirement. So, thanks Dave, your friend Joe is the real deal, just like you.

Tile match was an issue but Javier recreated a new look with tile accents that beautifully tied together the remaining Saltillo areas. He was kind and patient with some delays on our part and throughout the process he and his team were attentive, professional and detail-oriented. With insurance not covering everything, we appreciated Javier's pricing and could not be more satisfied with the outcome. Actually, we are about to hire him again for another project!

This review is long overdue!…read more 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!

From concept to final construction I knew what I was getting with NCDP. You should check them out!

That's when we found Ben, the owner of Zip Construction, and knew we were in good hands. Ben is a true perfectionist. He listened carefully to what we wanted and delivered exactly that, down to the finest detail. His craftsmanship, professionalism, and clear communication made the entire process easy and stress-free. It's also a bonus that he's local and takes great pride in his work. If you're looking for someone who does high-quality work and truly cares about getting it right, we highly recommend Ben and Zip Construction!

We had an extensive deck project that included a tear down of a wrap around 1700 sq. ft. deck along…read morewith an attached sunroom and a complete rebuild of deck and railings. We did our research and interviewed several companies. We met with Mark Picano of Picano Builders, Inc. and hit it off immediately. Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and his pricing was reasonable and fair. Mark and his team were very reliable and did things in a timely manner. Mark was incredibly patient with my indecision. I went back and forth on material and lighting choices. In the end, I trusted his opinion and he was 100% spot on. It has now been 3 years since the work has been completed and the deck is amazing! We would do everything exactly the same way if we had it to do over again. Not only did we find a great builder, we feel like we made a friend in the process. HIGHLY recommended.

So, as I am preparing for court appearances with Picano Builders, Inc. and owner Mark, I found…read moreanother alarming finding that, in my strongest opinion, is quite concerning. At CSLB's recommendation, I got owner Mark of Picano Builders, Inc to sign unconditional lien releases for the $51,000 of the $58,000 contract we had together that he got paid ($36,000 on 04Apr2025 and $15,000 on 14Apr2025). Picano Builders, Inc. and owner Mark, through his office management, unknown to me, requested $40,000 materials credit pre-liened on my home's title and on myself. These preliens came from Dixieline. He also requested approximately $6,500 in preliens from J and W Redwood. No change orders were ever made to this contract nor was additional work added that would require that much credit, in my strongest opinion, (approximately $46,500) for materials for this 500 square foot deck project. The contract stated that all redwood and Moso decking would be purchased at J and W Redwood. Additionally, all material and labor was inclusive in the contract for this project between Picano Builders, Inc, owner Mark and myself, so I was really not understanding these preliens. At Mark's direction, I called his office and spoke with his wife Kiersten, who Mark told me manages his office, his invoices and his accounts. She admitted to requesting these preliens and told me she would email me invoices from Dixieline for materials used on my project and that she would correct the pre-lien mistakes. As of 21JUN2025, I have never received this information.

He understood what we were looking for and gave us options matching exactly what we wanted.

I said OK, but that's cutting it short because I had to leave in the late afternoon. He didn't bother to ask me my address until he was leaving that job, which I didn't see that text for a half hour. By then it was clear he wasn't going to make it by the time I had to leave, so I said let's make it for another day and asked what day worked for him. No response.
