TCP Custom Outdoor Living

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 20, 2013
“We were very impressed with their professional approach to the project. They quoted a price and brought the project to a finish as quoted. But most important, all projects have unknowns and the personnel at Texas Custom Patios managed the unforeseen completely to our satisfaction. They earned our trust and are deserving of our recommendation.”

“My husband and I bought a fixer-upper while I was pregnant with my second child. The house had a great layout but had been used as a rental for years and was in desperate need of a cosmetic refresh, and we were on a time crunch. Matt came out and walked us through all the options and helped us prioritize so that we could get the biggest bang for our buck. We hired him to renovate our bathroom, gut and rebuild our kitchen, and replace all of the trim and doors in our home. His crew was courteous, knowledgeable, and we were impressed with how every small request we'd communicated to Matt had been passed down to the crew which prevented the drama we'd heard about others having during the remodeling process. We got a beautiful look at a reasonable cost and we were so happy with the work that we hired River Mill Construction again the next year to build a front porch and picket fence out front. We loved THAT so much that when it came time to finish our walk-out basement, we called Matt. He helped us maximize every square inch (and even add a full bath!). He was able to advise us on where to splurge and where to save to get a beautiful look and we really appreciated that there was no pressure to spend more than our budget. Matt seemed excited to get us the house of our dreams without breaking the bank, and we couldn't be more pleased!”

“Fidel completed warranty work on my screened porch. He did calking, screwed floor board and adjusted warped door. I found Fidel to be professional, yet personable, knowledgable and a willing learner. He does very neat work. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing work done.”

“Mike Perkins of ERS personally did the work on my wooden porch railing which was showing a lot of wear after 25 years. I just wanted the worst parts repaired in order to get a few more years out of it. He understood what I wanted and did what was necessary, The work was completed in about four hours including the clean up. When the time comes to replace the railing I will be contacting Mike again.

“Excellent work. WIthin a day of the original phone call, someone came by. By the next week, they were working. I had a back deck completed. The workers were prompt, friendly and pleasant. They knocked it out in three days, even finishing the last part in the rain. Everything was great.”

“I was referred by a friend whose porch is amazing! He will be starting a EZ Breeze porch for us in the next couple weeks and rehabbing the other part of our deck! He is so easy to work with and incredibly honest! He actually talked me out of something! Impressive! I will do another review when complete!”
Dal-Rich Design & Construction

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 1, 2015
“My wife and I were very impressed with Dal-Rich. They had come highly recommended, and didn’t disappoint. Our new deck and patio update was probably a small project in the scope of things, but they made us feel like a priority. Up front, our contact person Jeff answered all our questions and helped us get HOA approval. Our construction team, led by Abel, was professional and detail-oriented. And perhaps most helpfully, Dal-Rich was able to coordinate landscape electricians seamlessly into the project, without losing a lot of time or causing confusion over responsibilities. Finally, the cost was very fair. We felt like we got a lot for our money! Kevin & Marie S., in Dallas”

“We had reached out to Raymond for a quote and some ideas on the best options for our deck. Raymond was very professional and came to our house to assess our options and provide some ideas on what he thought might align best with our design goals. Raymond was able to provide us valuable information to make an informed decision. The work was completed as promised, on time and within budget. I would proudly recommend Raymond for consideration of other's projects and would not hesitate to call him again for projects we have in mind.”

“Artisan Results Corp. did a beautiful job replacing my son's roof and building a gabled patio on the back of his house. They were always professional and very easy to work with from beginning to end of the project.”

Deck or Patio Builder FAQs
The duration of a patio design project can vary widely depending on the scale and complexity of the project, weather conditions, and the availability of materials and labor. Smaller projects might take a few weeks, while larger, more intricate designs can take several months. A reputable patio designer will provide you with a projected timeline upfront and keep you informed of any changes.
Patio designers stay abreast of the latest materials and design trends through continual education, industry publications, and networking. They consider factors such as durability, maintenance, local climate, and your personal style to recommend the best materials for your project. Sustainability, outdoor living, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions are currently popular trends in patio design.
Before meeting with a patio designer, homeowners should gather inspiration photos, establish a budget, and consider how they intend to use the space (e.g., entertaining, relaxation, dining). Itʼs also helpful to identify any specific features you desire, like a fire pit or outdoor kitchen. Clear communication of your needs and preferences helps ensure the success of your project.
Patio designers are skilled in navigating challenges such as spatial constraints, zoning restrictions, and budget limitations. They leverage creative solutions and strategic planning to overcome obstacles, ensuring the project stays on track. Open communication between the homeowner and designer is critical for addressing issues promptly as they arise.
Outdoor lighting not only enhances the ambiance of a patio but also ensures safety and functionality after dark. Designers recommend incorporating a mix of task, ambient, and accent lighting. Solar-powered and LED lights are popular for their efficiency and sustainability. Proper placement and consideration of light intensity are crucial to avoid glare and create a welcoming atmosphere.
Sustainability in patio design is achieved through the selection of eco-friendly materials, native plants that require less water, and the incorporation of green technologies like rainwater harvesting systems. Designers also consider the orientation of the patio to maximize natural light and warmth while minimizing exposure to harsh elements. This approach not only benefits the environment but can also lead to long-term cost savings for homeowners.
