    Backyard deck

    Best experience working with Cameron and Brian. They were so precise. We just had our deck put in and it turned out amazing. They were so professional and respectful. If you want a deck put in this is the place to go. OC deck and patio. You are amazing.

    OC Deck & Patio helped us with our final phase of an extensive renovation. We needed cable railing for a large terrace created by new retaining walls that replaced our huge old deck. Cameron helped us customize affordable cable railing options that also met the specifications required by the City. Really appreciated his assistance with obtaining the permit to surface mount 153 linear feet of cable railing along the perimeter our new paver area. Brian & Jorge were very meticulous in planning, drilling & mounting the posts. The installation also required custom corners and a custom gate with careful consideration given to each element of the overall project. We also love the harmonious incorporation of matching LED accent lights on posts which really enhances the overall aesthetics at night. In addition, OC Deck & Patio installed 53 linear feet of 1/2" glass windwall in the adjacent backyard. It was important that the height of the glass wall exactly match the height of the cable railing & it was absolutely perfect! Their professionalism & expertise was evident in their approach to every aspect of the job. We were most impressed with the way Cameron & Brian always found viable solutions for everything that needed to be addressed during the installation. Appreciated the attention to detail & we were incredibly happy with the final product that enhances our beautiful view.

    Deck replacement and updated to include stairs, lighting and new size.

    Cameron has renewed our faith in contractors. His bid was the best provided, always kept us informed on timing and always on time, checks in to ensure everything is going well and if we have any questions. Gave us a start date and an end, which where met. Our deck is awesome and exceeded our expectations. His team led by Brian is excellent.

    Just like in Snow White. Or a Hitchcock movie.

    Quick summary for those of you on Ritalin: Finished product: 5 Timeliness: 4 Communication: 4 Value: 5 We purchased a home in San Clemente that was built in 1986. It came with a deck overlooking a lovely little canyon filled with life (I call it "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom"). But the deck itself... yuck. Hated it from day one. So after the windows, and the air conditioning, and the floors: it was deck time. As these things go, it was a fairly routine job: we were replacing everything from the floor of the deck upwards. No major changes to the support structure (though in the event a few the aging bits of lumber did need to be replaced). No change to the footprint. We collected several quotes; OC Deck & Patio came in lowest (although I caution that contractor quotes sometimes include apples and sometimes oranges, and you want to be careful about relying on the bottom line only). Contracts signed! Ready, set... wait. The City of San Clemente, for reasons that surpass understanding, dragged out the permitting process on this simple project, requiring, inter alia, full diagrams of *our entire property*. Cameron at OCD&P managed that process for us; at the end of the day, I believe he handled it as well anybody could have done. The costs of dealing with the permitting did come out to be more than I would have wanted or expected, but that's on the city. The demolition takes a couple of days, the material for the deck begins to arrive, construction begins... and boom! Covid. After the initial few weeks of the lockdown, however, we were able to resume. The workers masked up and stayed outside, which was a shame because I'd enjoyed bothering them--I mean, chatting with them--while they worked. But the work did continue. Sure, there were interruptions, and delays, and miscommunications. Nothing too serious, and most of it was the result of the quarantine (a certain kind of nail suddenly became precious, for example). But there was no point at which I was reluctant to pay one of the milestone fees we'd set up in the contract. Most importantly: we are extremely happy with the result. The deck looks great, it feels solid, and songbirds occasionally line up along the cables, making me feel like Snow White (which as a middle-aged father of two I am totally secure enough to admit ). Look at the pics and see if you agree. Thanks for reading! I hope you found this review helpful. If so, I've written some others you might enjoy. Check them out--it's not like you're doing anything else right now.

    There are seldom occasions these days to give a score of 150 out of 100!…read more Alex at My Teak Pro earns and deserves the compliment of going above and beyond. Our HOA boards had neglected our teak benches for many years. The property manager's bids were so ludicrous that homeowners wanted the benches gone! Teak has a lifespan of 50Y so I was able to research and find Alex at My Teak Pro. He rescued 37 benches! The before and after photos speak for themselves. Alex bid the job, brought in a crew and completed the work ahead of schedule. He prioritized customer service and satisfaction. He did everything I requested and used ample product to get the rich looking results. He was honest and not one to cut corners and I noticed and appreciate those qualities. He communicated several times a day, provided progress photos and did a superb job. As HOA President I've seen big companies do subpar work and are not nearly as professional but Alex is a PRO! Supporting small local businesses are the best decisions I've made. The homeowner's are pleased and because he did not gouge us he will be on our annual rotation for keeping our benches tip-top! I highly recommend Alex and My Teak Pro!

    Good finished work, but this experience changed my opinion significantly…read more TL;DR: I previously gave Hicks 5 stars after our first project, and they still feature that review on their website. We hired them again and have now spent tens of thousands of dollars with them. Both pergolas look very good. On this second project, Hicks chose to handle an unexpected sprinkler conflict rather than have me bring someone else in, the repair failed, and it appears they never performed the basic test to make sure it worked. When I raised it, the owner became hostile, insulted me, and hung up on me. I later gave Hicks a written opportunity to inspect or fix it before anyone else touched the repair and received no response. That experience changed my opinion of the company significantly. I hired Hicks again because our first project had been a genuinely good experience. Across both jobs we had worked through material and scheduling delays, possible conflicts with power lines and solar panels, and changes involving the patio flooring without major problems. Both finished pergolas look very good. The sprinkler issue came up immediately before excavation. Nothing in the estimate or our earlier discussions gave me reason to think the footings would extend outside the existing concrete patio and into the grass. I first realized that when I saw the red excavation markings and noticed they conflicted with a sprinkler head and the line serving other heads. I raised it immediately. Since the contract says Hicks is not responsible for sprinkler routes, placement, or repairs, I specifically offered to coordinate and pay for someone else to handle it. Hicks told me that was unnecessary, that they had the fittings they needed, and that their crew would cut, move, and reconnect the line. I took that as a professional courtesy and relied on what they told me. While they were excavating, I also offered to turn the sprinkler zone on remotely from my phone so they could test the repair. They did not take me up on it. Since the system is easy to activate in person, I assumed they would simply test it themselves. Project delays had compressed the schedule, and we were rushing to finish the walkthrough and final payment before I left on a business trip the next day. We carefully checked the pergola itself, which looked good, but forgot the sprinklers. A day or two later, while traveling, I realized we had missed that check. I activated the zone remotely and could see through my backyard camera that something looked wrong. Rather than bother Hicks based only on a remote view, I waited until I got home to verify it. Several heads that were clearly working immediately before excavation no longer worked, and a substantial amount of water was leaking beside the new installation. The zone was effectively unusable for around two weeks, and parts of the lawn it normally waters developed obvious dead and brown patches. Hicks later acknowledged in writing that "a fitting must've came loose" and that perhaps there had not been enough glue. The repair itself is not what turned this into such a big issue for me. The way it was handled did. During about a five-minute phone call, the owner got heated and defensive, used foul language, called me names, spoke disrespectfully, and hung up on me. He later told me that I "don't know how this works" and that he was not going to read my written explanation. This was completely unlike anything I had experienced with Hicks before. After that, I sent a written notice giving Hicks an opportunity to inspect or arrange to fix the problem before anyone else touched it. I got no response. After the deadline passed, I had the area excavated and repaired. The sprinkler pipe was physically separated at a connection in the area of the leak, which I documented with photos. The system is now working again. What bothers me most is that Hicks chose to take on the sprinkler work, apparently did not do the most basic test afterward, and then treated me this way when I raised the problem. That is especially disappointing because they previously handled a warranty issue very well. A few months after our first pergola was installed, the integrated lighting controller failed after apparently getting water in it. Hicks came back promptly and fixed it at no charge, which increased my confidence in using them again. Both pergolas look very good and Hicks deserves credit for that. But part of hiring a contractor is trusting how they handle problems after final payment. After this experience, I no longer feel comfortable recommending Hicks, I am concerned about relying on them for potential future warranty work, and I would not hire them again unless this is made right. That is why I am updating my previous 5-star review to 2 stars. I will update this review again if and when the situation is resolved. EDIT: Not a warranty claim. I offered to hire a pro; Hicks chose to do the repair, so they still had to use reasonable care.

    Update 3: Now I'm some secretly disrespectful person (first I'm hearing of my alleged bad behavior)…read morewho plotted all along to take screenshots of our communications (that live in text threads) for deceitful purposes. Please stop updating your responses to change the story and accuse me of some new bad behavior. The texts are our communications, I didn't call you and "press you". There are no other communications. They also speak for themselves. Adding a screenshot of your prior edited comment. Update 2: Last update and lowered my rating from a 2 to a 1 star to reflect the now edited response that no longer says I "haggled" for a faster time and suggests for the first time that the glass didn't break "on its own". So I'm adding a picture of the glass, and another text screenshot where Mike refers to spontaneous breakage and asking the glass company if it's under warranty. Not sure why he's ask them if it was under warranty if it didn't break on its own. Update: I am not surprised that Mike responded. I never "haggled" to get it done sooner. If I had, I'd be pretty bad at haggling for it to take 3.5 months for it to not get done. But as I said, I have receipts. I would not recommend working with Hicks. I have had a series of issues, but held off on a critical review since he would previously try to resolve the issues. I hired Hicks to install a patio railing. The work was done fairly quickly, but after less than a year, one of the cables had fallen off. Hicks came back and repaired it without additional cost, which I appreciated. Next I had Hicks install a glass and wood balcony. I wasn't happy with the quality of the work or the state of the job site, and again Hicks apologized and came back to make it better and clean up the mess. He was at times defensive, but again, I appreciated him fixing the errors. Less than a year after the balcony was installed, a glass panel shattered. There was no impact or area of impact, suggesting it was from a glass manufacturing defect. He told me the warranty on the glass he used was only for 6 months from installation (even for defective glass), so I'd need to pay for a new sheet of glass, but he would install it without additional charge. The glass shattered in mid October. It's now February. Hicks' communication has been really challenging. I pushed and pushed to get it installed and it took months to even get scheduled. On January 9th, the day he was supposed to arrive to install, he didn't show at the agreed upon time, and only later responded after I had reached out about him being a no-show to let me know that strong wind had blown over the replacement glass and it broke. I was very frustrated because this was January and he had initially told me it would be a few weeks to get the glass replaced (which would have been November). Had it been installed in an even remotely timely manner, it wouldn't have blown over and broken. So I asked when the new glass would arrive, he said about a week. I asked him if he could please schedule me for a couple weeks out so we have something scheduled and I wouldn't have to wait months again. He said yes, but didn't actually schedule me. I started messaging a couple times a week with no response - again, said the new glass should be arrive in about a week on January 9th. Yesterday I messaged saying I needed an update, and he told me the whole thing was too stressful and he's not doing it anymore. So I waited 3.5 months for him to replace defective glass that he had offered to replace (with me paying the cost of the glass), and then he just decided he's not going to do it. I was patient and incredibly reasonable through all of these issues, but the defensiveness and failure to communicate and follow through isn't professional. I have receipts for all of these communications.
