We had multiple estimates and chose RKC constructions and couldn't be happier. They did an amazing job, prompt, swift and professional. It's nice in this day and age to find honest family owned business. Exceptional customer service, friendly workers with high end results at a reasonable price. Highly recommended read more

I wanted to give you an update on my experience. In the end Mike and the crew of Oscar and Fernando came through in flying colors. It was manufacture delay, not RKC issue. Everything is so beautiful and perfect. Great quality and my wife is so happy. Once the product was delivered it was finished in a few days. I recommend RKC. Mike got it done Communication was tough in the beginning until Mike stepped in. Thanks Mike and Oscar and Fernando. Well done! read more

I just had a patio cover by RKC Construction. It was a pleasure to work with them. From the moment James A. came to take measurements to when Oscar came and put all together! I have a nice looking patio cover. Thank you RKC Construction read more

I hired RKC Construction to remove a 30 year old wood patio cover and replace with an alluminwood patio cover. James the sales representative initiated the contract with the exact layout and dimensions to my liking and an affordable price. After the material arrived at their facility, they had their installers, Erik the lead installer and his assistant Tony deliver the material and initiate the building of the patio cover. Their attention to detail was amazing. They were fantastic in building the most beautiful patio cover my wife and I have ever seen. We are so great full to Erik and Tony for their ability to erect a beautiful patio cover that enhances our home. I highly recommend RKC Construction with employees like James, Erik and Tony. read more

This review is for the my initial contact with RKC Construction for an Aluminum free standing Patio to replace a wooden one. I was impressed with the quick reply from my online quote request. Janine returned my call the next day and set up an appointment for a sales person to come out the next day. Peter, came out the next day as promised and was very knowledgeable and gave us all our options. I did tentatively agree to go with them, so I will update this review as progress takes place and job completes. read more

Requested a patio structure be built measuring 16 x 16 and 10 x 13. The team led by Erik that came here yesterday and today was absolutely and positively phenomenal. It was a great experience from start to finish and it's truly appreciated. Thank you very much. read more

RKC Construction is amazing! I had put out a request for quotes for a Patio Cover through Yelp and RKC's owner Rick was one of the first people to respond. Their salesperson Peter came out to look at the space and was extremely informative. He was also early and very kind, informative and most importantly straightforward. Many of the companies that i spoke to just tried to offer me the cheapest patio cover type (non-insulated) to win me on price but Peter explained that because the patio was near my bedroom that I might want to consider an insulated patio due to noise when it rains. He laid out all my options and let me make an informed decision. I appreciate that I didn't have to wait a couple days for a formal quote or anything like that. In addition, he was just a nice person all around offering advice on other projects I was working on in my yard. And most importantly, Peter was able to work with me on what I was looking to do/spend without trying to sell me something I didn't need. Class act! When it came to install, Rick the owner got me all scheduled and his team did a great job delivering the services agreed upon. A few days later, he followed up with me to see how I liked the project and this is where they earned all 5 stars in my book. I am extremely ocd and like symmetry, however due to the unique layout of my yard and the size of the panels, 6 lights could not be evenly spaced on 8 panels, which i did not realize originally. I had expressed my slight disappointment to Rick and instead of just letting me be disappointed on a Friday afternoon for a completely reasonable material limitation, he drove 45 min from his office directly to me to see the work and speak to me in person (ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON!). Rick was so nice and PATIENT and kind as he suggested potential solutions. Long story short, his team came out early on Monday and Thursday of that very next week, added additional lights and made everything look even better than I could have ever hoped for or envisioned! It's easy to say a company is good when things go smooth the first time. But you really get a sense of how great someone can be when things don't go exactly as you envision them and you can see how kind, smart, creative, patient and generous they are (or aren't). RKC, Rick and his team are phenomenal and I am so beyond happy that I chose to work with such a good hearted, kind and generous team on this project. Would definitely recommend to others. Thanks RKC! read more

The RKC crew finished up our patio cover install today, and we'e super happy! From the beginning with Mike coming out to give us a quote, to keeping us up to date with status of build date, to the crew's amazing work and cleanup, they were great. There were issues with the aluminum getting delivered and Mike was apologetic the entire time, but kept me up to date. He even made the supplier reach out to me to apologize! The crew came today and with Justin leading things, it was installed perfectly! Justin checked in a few times with me throughout the install to make sure they were putting things where I wanted them. Now we need to get an electrician to install a fan and some lights to make it look perfect. Forgot to add: what's with the other Brian L review? So weird. That's not me! I've been on Yelp for years writing reviews, that clown has none. read more

I contacted RKC with a project in the backyard. I wanted a retaining wall, stamped concrete (that would match the retaining wall) and a lattice patio cover. The price was very reasonable. Other bids I got were ridiculous. The workers that came were professional, they came on time, cleaned up after themselves and did beautiful work. Rick came regularly to check on the work, answer questions and take care of changes all with no problem. The best thing about it was it all happened within a short period of time there were no delays except for rain! read more

RKC was on point with my double awning purchase. The workers were friendly...cleaned up afterwards and constructed a great new living space. This new addition to my home has created a great outside living space...protected from the sun...rain and will keep this side of the house much cooler during summer months...lowering our monthly utility bill. I do recommend this company for sure...as they started on the day specified and the value...comparatively...was certainly in my financial best interest. read more

Great install of patio cover in 2016. Held up very well. In 2023 when I called due to a small leak at seam, resulting from dirt accumulation.... Rick sent his team to fix and even added a leaf gutter guard for free, all within 24 of my call !!! That is service ! read more

RKC's crew of Tim, Omar and Albaro turned an unused space into a delightful sunroom. They were professional and polite which, in today's world, is a welcome surprise. James responded to my initial call on the same day. He bid the job and the process was straightforward. After the job was over Mike called to make sure everything was as ordered. Perhaps the best compliment I can give is that we are going to have a second sunroom installed by RKC. Our job required the removal of outdated metal railings and a rather large awning. These were not easy tasks and the way Tim's crew solved these problems and removed the debris told me a lot about the skill level of RKC's technicians. I don't think you will be disappointed if you hire RKC and regardless if you are thinking about any of the work they do you should do yourself a favor and talk to them about your project. read more

Great company! From start to finish Mike was there to answer any questions and update us on the status of the project. We had an insulated patio cover installed and I couldn't be happier. Pricing was very competitive and quality is great! The guys who came and took down our old cover were efficient and professional. They even patched up the stucco on the house! The guys who came in and installed the cover were awesome. The one day in the week it was over 90 degrees outside and they worked through it! Huge props to them! I highly recommend you stop searching and use RKC for your next project!!!! read more

I decided to use RKC to build a sunroom in my backyard after having five estimations. James did excellent presentation and won the business. He is thoughtful, patient, helpful and reasonable to make our agreement done. Although it toke three months to fully finalize the room, all steps were well done, including design, permits to installation of whole room. All workers, from front office to owner Rick are highly responsible and handling all my questions in a timely manner. Electrician Mike, constructor Tim and roofer Eric all are professional and put customer satisfaction first. I appreciate everyone's hard and honest work and highly recommend RKC in local construction business. read more

Mike Marquardt at RKC construction did an excellent job with our canopy. It is well designed and well constructed. The guys at RKC Construction worked very hard once the materials came in from overseas, there was a 5-6 month wait however due to COVID, but that is across many many industries. Anyway, Mike was the point man and he was very responsive and very very honest. You should not hesitate to call him. read more

RKC Construction exceeded our expectations in every way! We chose RKC based on their price and professionalism and their willingness to design a custom solution to meet our needs. We had a 12' x 40' EliteWood insulated patio cover installed and added a Four Seasons sunroom wall with bi-parting doors and a 4' section with a door at the opposite end of the patio. The installation was done on time and with great attention to detail! Once our motorized screens are installed on the open face of the patio, we'll have year round use of our patio area. We hired Mata Electric to install 8 ceiling lights, 3 fans and 4 spotlights, as well as outlets for the motorized fans and the heaters that we plan to mount. All lights and fans are smart so we only have to ask Alexa to turn them on/off, change colors or intensity. RKC's installation team was very helpful in supporting the electricians too and it's amazing! read more

My neighbor put up a patio cover in their backyard and I was extremely impressed with the quality of the material and installation, and the efficiency in which they got the work done (they did it all in one day). My wife and I had been wanting to put a patio cover in our backyard as well, so I asked my neighbor if she recommended the company she used and she said a big YES! So she connected me with Rick from RKC and the process was seamless from beginning to end. Rick gave me a quote over text and after mutual agreement, he came over to take measurements and make sure exactly how I wanted the cover to be done. Rick went above and beyond what was needed to get the job done perfectly and in the timeframe I needed. And the price was totally reasonable. They actually got it done before the agreed schedule. The installers were friendly and professional. They were also organized and clean. This was a large cover and they got it done in only a day and a half. It came out beautifully! My wife and I are so happy! There were so many different options for color and we were happy with what we picked. Take a look at the pics! read more

Note to self.... Don't do construction during a Pandemic ! I wont go into to many details but there were bumps in the road with several things like water seeping up through slab in California room BUT FIXED. It was a big deal that no one expected and Rick didn't play any games.. Had a guy completely dig out the trench around the room and seal it, it was a big hassle and I know RKC had to eat that one but they didn't play around. Many other minor issues with clean up (which is always an issue regardless of who) and it was taken care, NO HASSLES! I can go on and on with usual construction woes but Rick and Mike took care of it! It was a long and frustrating project but everyone did their part to make me a happy customer. Oh.. The 1 Star complaint by Brian L. I believe is a disgruntled employee who created a fake Yelp account since his complaint was identical to situations that came up to details at the identical time as my build BUT that RKC did everything to make me happy and I'm very picky! If they left me hanging my rating might be different but they didn't play around! Thanks Rick, Mike and crew. read more

Just want to send out a big thank you and an endorsement of professionalism and quality work from Rick and the crew at RKC. This is my first post and I felt it is necessary to share my experience to support this local family owned and operated company. RKC and crew did an excellent job with my project. During the initial meeting, Rick explained what needed to be done and helped with certain design features. He and his team always arrived when expected and cleaned upafter themselves everyday (very important to me as I have 2 small children). They did a tremendous amount of demo removing the old patio cover and concrete and all in the matter of a couple of days. Throughout the building and installation of the pavers they were efficient and end result of my project was better than expected, even added an outdoor kitchenette that was not in the original plan. The images attached should give you an idea of their craftsmanship. Thanks again RCK, look forward to working with you on future projects. read more

They finished the job in 2 days and cleaned up the place. I strongly recommand RKC. read more

RKC Construction - We are absolutely in love with our patio cover. - Patio Coverings Near Me - Lakeside, California

This review is long over due. We worked with RKC in October of 2016 to tear down a 24 x 16 25 year old 6x, 10x and 4x wood patio with plastic corrugated roofing, and replace it with an aluminum 42 x 18.5 part solid, part lattice patio cover allowing us to go from an 8 foot ceiling to a 10 foot ceiling. We went with RKC product called ELITE WOOD. It is the best we could find on the market with the greatest thickness verses other also rans we interviewed. Other patio contractors wanted to come off of the roof fascia, which was where we were, allowing us no gain in height. RKC was the only contractor I could find that has a rooftop mounting bracket system, which allowed us to take the NEW 25 foot wide solid patio which is held in place with a C Channel and mega screws, up the exterior wall of a portion of our 2 story home, to 10 foot plus, pushing the NEW lighter weight, 17 foot wide latticed patio next to it, up on top of an adjacent single story roof top, where the roof mount brackets (2) were installed to hold the aluminum beam the lattice was cross mounted too. This gave us a seamless single 25 ft level solid cover, transitioning to the same level 17 ft latticed cover. It simply looks amazing. The lattice is so well done it slide right over the top of the side rail of the solid patio cover making it look as if it were one mega patio cover..............WHICH IT IS !!! We had the lattice mounted on its 3x side which allows for 70% shading, which now that we have had it for a while, to us, is optimum given our set up. I know this may be a tad confusing so browse the photos below. When we went into contract then, the delay from contract execution to ground breaking was 6 weeks, and at 6 weeks we were rolling.The tear down team was super clean and arrived on time and executed within the previously claimed allotted time frame. We were off to a great start. The construction team showed up a day or so later, and within three to four days we were up and ready to enjoy. The guys were easy to work with. They were super clean, neat and very professional. I worked along side them some of the time on small complimentary projects that went hand in hand with their work, like inlaying 4x4 tiles where the 4x4 posts of my old patio cover had been cut off at the existing surrounding tile grade. Working in the middle of them was easy and they were all super professional guys. I would have a question here or there and they were quick to provide insight and answer for me on specific aspects of their installation. I was painting stuff, prepping for some stone work to elevate the stone surround on an exterior fireplace, now that I had 2 more feet of it exposed with the ten foot ceiling, we were enabled with RCK. The guys were cool to be around. The solid patio is insulated and provides cooling relief underneath and is so sturdy you can walk on it topside, which came in handy for the electrical install. The underside of the solid patio looks like wood in texture, though it be painted aluminum. RKC referred us to several qualified electricians, so that we could time their arrival against RKC's completion and have a seamless transition between contractors. The day after RKC was done the electrician was on the site. We went with chandeliers and a BIG ASS Fan. Look for it in the photos. It turned out awesome. Being able to go up to 10 feet made a huge difference in how the patio, looks, feels and operates. The Roman Columns give it a resort look and feel and after going BIG ASS Fan in the patio I ended up putting one in our bedroom too. They are incredible air movers. If I had a chance to do it again I would hire Rick Crawford and his team at RKC. I referred them to my brother in law in Santee and my son in laws brother in El Cajon. If I am referring family with confidence, you can trust my reference for RKC here. The team did good and we are loving our new set up. It's like we got an entire new living space and a big improvement to our "resortist" back yard. Call Rick..................he is super. read more

Rkc was unbelievable in working with me while my house was being painted. Home materials were ordered and they stored them while my house was in the process of being painted. Before that they work with me by having my old patio torn down waiting for my house to be painted and then installing their new Elite wood patio cover. Rick oversaw the project and constantly kept in contact with me and answered all questions I had of him in a timely matter. Their workers were kind, courteous and efficient. They left my property in great shape with their outstanding cleanup. I would highly recommend this company for any patio needs you may have! read more

I recently had a few estimates for a lattice patio cover for my backyard. I decided to go with RKC because after meeting with James I felt very confidant that they gave me a good price and would do exactly what I wanted. Over the years I've dealt with several different contractors while remodeling my home so I've grown really particular in who I hire to work on my house. After meeting with the owner of RKC I knew I made the right decision. On the day of the installation the workers showed up on time and were very polite and confirmed with me the layout of the patio cover and by the end of the day I had a beautiful new patio cover. My yard just has a whole new look to it and I couldn't be happier. It was a pleasure working with RKC the whole staff was nice and professional and most importantly the workers did a great job and cleaned up after they were done. They even moved my patio furniture back under the cover for me. I will defiantly recommend them to anyone who's looking to get a patio cover. I just wish I had used them sooner. read more
