    Tobias and his crew were hired to fabricate and install new deck railing and yard fencing for a residential project. The process was top notch from start to finish, from the initial meetings all the way to post-completion care, and everything in between. I would definitely work with Tobias and his team again.

    Front deck

    Tobias and his team were prompt and professional. The final result of our new front porch deck is just GORGEOUS!! See photos!! The cable rail is so modern and functional. We can sit on our patio glider chairs and have an unobstructed view of our yard. His price was quite reasonable as well. We couldn't be happier with our new deck!! It's a beautiful extension of our new remodeled home and we LOVE IT!!! P.S. We get tons of admiring looks from cars driving by!!

    We hired West Coast to do a deck and tongue & groove on the overhang on our new addition. They provided several quotes for different materials. We chose a hardwood decking and nickel gap tongue & groove for the overhang. Their craftsmanship is superb. They run a clean and organized job site. On-budget, on-time and reliable. They accomplished exactly what they said the would and kept to a precise schedule. Our deck and overhang look so sharp. We will hire them again for other projects.

    I am so happy! Tobias is an amazing person. He is always happy. He is always responsive. And he made sure to address all my concerns before, during and after! Tobias and his crew demo our large wooden deck and replaced it with Trex and Aluminum railings. I was tired of replacing the wood damage every couple of years costing me 5k to 6k each time. I had it and decided to go with Trex and Aluminum. Where do I start? Tobias is very fair and thorough in his estimate. He is worth every penny. Tobias and his crew came every day and did amazing work. When they left for the day everything was organized and neat! He communicated with me daily. I felt truly special and that he cared about me and my project. I really appreciated that. I would 100% do it again and look forward to working with him again. Thank you Tobias!

    I can't say enough good things about working with Tobias and his team. Tobias is exceptionally patient - he answered all my questions and was highly responsive throughout the process. His team is detail-oriented, showing pride in their work. I was particular about certain design aspects, and Tobias and his team were there to listen and help me make the best decision. I highly recommend them for your project.

    Very happy with the work. Joe was responsive from the beginning to the end of the job. Nice guy, very friendly. We did not have to wait long to get the work scheduled and the pricing is favorable. I was very pleased with the outcome. He did a great job! I will be using him again for our next project.

    Just wow!! Tobias and his team are amazing! He was very responsive when working out the quote and completed the project ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Tobias and West Coast Fences. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you, Tobias and crew!

    Tobias and his team replaced a 48 x 24 wood deck with a new composite deck and railing from TimberTech. It was complicated because he had to replace 50% of the joists and deal with non-square and non-level framing. His team was hard working with excellent craftsmanship. After he finished the job I found several small items that needed to be repaired - Tobias came out quickly and fixed everything. He takes pride in his work, is easy to deal with, and provides quality work at reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend Tobias for any deck or carpentry project.

    Custom staircase. Tobias made sure to complete it first so our in laws and toddler can access their guest house.

    Tobias and his crew did a great job on our new redwood deck and made sure to accommodate our request while dealing with any challenges that arose without compromising quality. They went out if their way to complete the stairs first so our in laws could access the guest house. All was completed within our budget. Thank you Tobias!

    Tobias and his crew were great! He was hired to replace a large deck in the front of our house. Things could not have gone more smoothly. His team was professional, on time, and did excellent work. Price was reasonable and completed on time. We could not be happier with the finished product. If you need deck repair or a new deck you will not find a better crew to deal with than Tobias and his men. Thanks, Nick

    New gate

    Tobias and his team did an amazing job. The project wasn't easy, he had to match an existing stain on redwood that was original to the home, about 65 years old. He matched it perfectly, thank you Tobias.

    It's been over a year now since my initial install and I want to 1) update on the quality of the…read moreproduct, and 2) update on the service the Hicks team has provided. First off: we love our custom door, it continues to be a highlight of our home (super important making a great impression as people enter). It swings easily and is super stable. Recently the bolt holding the door frame to the wall came loose (likely from a mix of daily use and our shifting soils here in San Clemente). Not entirely surprising that there'd be some "settling in" given that it's a fairly massive completely custom door - but still, it had been over a year since the Hicks team finished the job. I emailed and asked: is this sort of thing covered? Well... Myke came out personally and spent the better part of two hours fixing the issue - not only thoroughly reinforcing the door frame but also upgrading the other side of the frame with a new customer stopper to increase security but also improve the operation of the door. It's been almost 18 months since install and Myke came out free of charge. Went well above and beyond and shook my hand and wished me well. If you think "good people doing good work" is hard to find... I hope you find this review, and give Myke Hicks a call.

    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 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.
