My husband and I bought a beautiful Armadillo home. But because it is a new build we have no trees in our backyard. The back yard is brutal in the summer and we couldn’t enjoy the back yard. But because our house is a new build and under my warranty if I attached anything to the house it would void out my warranty. So the process of getting estimates began! First one $12,000. second $10,000. for just a 16’x14′! My father was a builder and I am an interior designer/Mixed Media Artist. I knew that the prices were way too high and so my search continued. I got 15 estimates! yes 15! Then I found JR! Praise GOD! I went from 16’x14′, to 30’x20′ that covered the whole flatwork! Also I had a outdoor kitchen built out of limestone! All for $9,200.00!!!! JR and I worked together with the challenge of not attaching it to the house but butting it as As we could to the house. The design and final product is beautiful and looks like it was built with the house and not an after thought! We have 6 children and I love the look of rough cedar I didn’t want the children to get splinters from the cedar. So to prevent that and incorporate the front of the house with the back of the house he wrapped the cedar posts with limestone. Jr also recommended Ariel Garcia who did the stone work and built a low stone retaining wall /flower bed that doubles as more seating and outdoor kitchen. JR is so professional, and possess something that has been lost in this day and age and that is integrity! My father taught me that the most important thing you have in this world is GOD, your Name and your Word. Jr has all 3! From Start to finish JR was there and asking me if I was pleased and answered any questions I had. He kept the work sight neat and clean. His team was also very professional! Don’t bothering getting 15 estimates like I did just go right to JR from the start! I promise you that he will go above and beyond!

Description of work:
J.R. is a very polite, professional, punctual man of business. Our plan for the arbor he built was interrupted by 2 deaths in our family but he was understanding and worked with us very well to suit our schedule. He obtained the city’s permit for the arbor and proceeded as planned. I was impressed with his punctuality and professionalism. Everything was cleaned up after. My husband and I are very pleased with his work and I highly recommend him for employment.

These are professionals who kept a clean work area and completed the deck in 2 days. I am extremely pleased with the end result, the estimate JR provided was what I paid, and would not hesitate to recommend JR’s services to anyone.

Very professional, showed up on time, completed work on time and as promised. J.R. worked with us as we made minor changes both before and during the project. Estimate was exactly what we paid at the end of the project. We would not hesitate to hire this company again. Only regret, we had to spend an entire day cleaning up the job site.

JR designed a perfect solution to our west afternoon sun heat. The cedar construction used heavier lumber that most. He and his crew arrived on time and completed the work in less than a day. The finished product was excellent. No complaints.

We contacted JR for an estimate and he was prompt, patient and courteous. He supplied us with the name of a reference. We did check with the reference who praised JR’s work. JR came back with a design and a quote and was quick with changes that we asked for. As soon as we were able to get the hot tub that we wanted he began the project. It was done in a week and a half. First his team laid out cedar lumber in the backyard for staining. That took a couple days to dry. Then the synthetic deck material came in and they built the flooring, which took two days. The frames (one for the gazebo, one for the overhang over the patio area) went up in one day. The roof over the gazebo, and the electrical work for the spa and lights happened on the fourth day. on the final day facing, benches, and trim were added. Overall it is beautiful work and we are absolutely delighted.
Description of work:
JR and his team built a patio deck in our back yard with an adjacent gazebo that contains a hot tub.

The project went very well. JR’s team took down the old rotted parts of my deck and replaced them with new treated lumber. His men replaced the wood walk with new treated lumber. The stairs to my deck are now sturdy. They have a solid feeling. When the job was finished they hauled away the old discarded materials. The work certainly has a professional touch. I could not be happier with this finished product. JR provided a free estimate. When I accepted the bid, he gave me an itemized written invoice which we both signed. During the work JR and his team always operated in a most professional and respectful manner.

Called J R’s for an estimate. He worked with our time constraints and came to our home on a Sunday afternoon. We were wanting a roof put over our back concrete slab. He was honest in that the job was more than his normal scope of practice. He was prompt and professional in manner.

JR came out within 24 hours and wrote me an estimate. He emailed me very detailed plans. I was impressed with JR’s friendliness and patience with answering all my questions. I was interested in composite decking and JR showed me samples and a brochure. He really shows up when he said he will and have the whole job wrapped up in 3 days. The cleaned up after themselves every day. I have dogs and worry about nails etc. He and the gentlemen that came to work with him were terribly polite and scored more points with their patience with my attention loving Cattledog. We love the patio. It was like adding a new room to the house and now I spend more time out there than indoors.
Description of work:
I wanted to put in a deck and patio cover over a tiny cement deck that I had.
