After getting bids from four contractors to replace our old, wood pergola at our front entrance…read morewith a new, aluminum patio cover, we decided to go with Pacific Patio. Steve, the co-owner, was most patient and thorough in accommodating our needs, including drainage and lighting, and helping us think through the design and materials. The price was reasonable. JD, the project manager, was great, keeping us abreast of what was going on as the project proceeded. The crew--Jesse and Randal, Robert and Anthony--were likewise a pleasure to work with. The end product is a pleasure to look at, eliciting many positive comments from neighbors and thumbs-up from passers by.

I originally posted this review about eight months ago, but it appears to have been removed, so I'm…read moreposting it again. This review concerns only my experience with Pacific Patio's bidding process. The proposal I received did not include any meaningful detail about the materials that would be used. When I asked specific questions--such as whether the support posts would be steel or aluminum--the salesperson refused to answer. Instead, he responded sarcastically, "Do you want me to tell you what kind of bolts we're going to use?" My answer is yes. The materials matter. The type of bolts, fasteners, posts, and other structural components affects the durability and safety of the finished product. Lower-quality hardware may perform differently under wind loads and over time, so it's reasonable for a customer to know what is being proposed. I repeatedly asked for a list of the materials that would be used, but the salesperson would not provide one. Without that information, I had no meaningful way to compare Pacific Patio's proposal with competing bids. Just as importantly, I would have had no clear basis for holding the contractor accountable if different materials were substituted during the project. The salesperson also became increasingly dismissive as I continued asking for this information. That lack of transparency and professionalism led me to award the project--worth approximately $100,000--to another contractor. I'm sharing this experience so that prospective customers know to ask for a detailed written description of the materials included in any proposal before making a decision.

I finally had it replaced last April 2025 by Skyline Patio and Sunrooms with an insulated cover. One year later, it has passed the test through hot weather, rain and wind. No more frying eggs on the concrete floor! I was very very happy with the service I received from this company. Joe, the manager, and Rick design rep, Darrin construction manager, Andrea production coordinator, Dianna sales coordinator, and others that came to do the work on site, were all professional and a real blessing in getting my new patio cover designed and put together with the features I wanted. The crew that worked on site demonstrated much care and passion in the work they did. The crew took time to answer my questions and even made a video on my phone so I could remember how the wiring was done for my patio light and fan. I have gutters on each side and also had outlets put in. Today the temperature in my backyard in the sun is 102°F. In the shade of my Avocado tree the temp is 96°F. The ambient temperature under my insulated patio cover is 84°F!! That's an 18 degree difference! The company responded quickly to my initial call and once material was in, had the work completed within 2 days. They took down and removed the old cover, prepped the areas needed, and cleaned up afterwards. Out of all the companies I met with, Skyline Sunrooms came out as my top choice. I highly recommend Skyline Patio and Sunrooms to anyone. They have a cute little showroom, too!

The office staff was right on, with scheduling and invoicing me. No extra phone calls were necessary. Then came the installers. I was told they would be there at 8 AM and at 8AM there they were! Tim and Randy were completely patient and careful, and with their knowledge came up with a few solutions that really improved what I had there before. And when the job was completed there was no sign of construction debris or trash. The project was completed to my 100% satisfaction. The beautiful cooper gutter and downspout system is a wonderful addition to my home. Thank you Aquatech! Totally satisfying experience working with you!

After seeing an ad on Instagram, I decided to reach out to New Age Design & Build for a quote, along with a few other companies. Their quote was very competitive, and they were able to start the project quickly, which was important to us because we wanted to enjoy the pool during the summer. From start to finish, the entire project took only 10 days. Yotam was our project manager, and he did an excellent job keeping us informed throughout the process. He checked in with me daily to explain what work was being done, answer questions, and offer suggestions for design improvements and additional repairs. We ended up taking several of his recommendations and are very happy with the results. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the quality of work, communication, and how efficiently the project was completed. The only concern I had was with some exposed rebar in the hot tub that, in my opinion, should have been replaced rather than patched over. NADB assured me that this would not cause any issues and explained that this approach helped keep costs down. While I was initially hesitant, I appreciated their transparency and honesty. We are very happy with our renovated pool and would recommend New Age Design & Build to anyone looking for pool repairs or remodeling.

If you've ever laid awake wondering whether your workers will show up tomorrow -- let alone at all…read morethis week -- you know exactly the kind of contractor experience we'd been living with for years. BRR Contractors was the complete opposite, and they honestly renewed our faith in finishing this renovation at all. They completely redid our balcony: tore it down, found and replaced rotted wood, removed some railings and added glass, refurbished the old railings, rebuilt the stairs, and painted the whole thing. There was one change order for the rot, but Mike Spencer flagged that possibility upfront during the estimate, so it was expected -- no surprises, no games. Here's the contrast that matters. Our previous contractor would demo and vanish, sub out everything to crews doing C+ work at best, blow past finish dates by months, and leave horrendous messes with almost zero oversight. Worst of all, I was paying for project management but ended up doing all of it myself -- chasing subs, tracking schedules, riding herd on quality. With BRR, they handle ALL of it. You're reminded why you hired professionals in the first place: so you don't have to be the one running the job. And they have their OWN crew -- these guys are pros. Tyson and Jay handled demo and construction and showed up at 0730 every single day, on time, every time. Bill's paint work was excellent, and the glass and railing crew was just as solid. They cleaned up at the end of each day, and communication couldn't have been better from start to finish. The last few years were a hard lesson in what a contractor shouldn't be -- but it made us appreciate exactly what we have now. I'm genuinely glad we found BRR. We'll be using them for future phases of our renovation without hesitation. If you've been burned before, this is the company that restores your confidence. Highly recommend.

I was forced to personally source and order core components like our medicine cabinet and faucet because the company failed to track or order them. More concerning are the regulatory issues. The project failed its first city inspection due to a mechanical code violation (venting exhaust straight into the attic). Furthermore, the contractor under-reported our $24,331 contract to the City of Imperial Beach on the permit valuation as only $3,786.75 (an 84% discrepancy). We have fulfilled 100% of our financial obligations to close out the contract, but an active investigation has been requested with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB Complaint #S F 2025016199) regarding their permit reporting and management practices.
