Best Deck Design in Phoenix AZ

After 8 years, our pool decking looked old and worn, and was in need of some concrete repair. Dave came out and explained what was needed and the process his team would use. They showed up on time and completed the job when they said they would, and cleaned up after they were done. The pool decking looks new again! I highly recommend NLKD!

Someone on Nextdoor recommend Pool Remodeling Brothers. Based on their recommendation I reached out to Jose for an estimate. They were responsive and got our pool fixed within a week of contacting them. We had some cracks in our pebble in the steps and we couldn't get anyone to call us back or do the job because it wasn't worth their time for what they would make on the job. Because they took on our little job we will be using them for our pool remodel in 2-3 years because our pebble is old and wearing out.

We have a two story house with basement and with that, have two decks.  Through the years, the beams supporting the first floor and second floor decks have been failing.  A result of this is that the wood has become compressable.  Through this, the decks started to sag, a very dangerous situation.  

We called around and were very fortunate to find Yavapai Decks, Abide Construction.  Nate talked with me about the project and fortunately had a couple of open days in the near future.  He came out and gave me an estimate, which I accepted.  Later that week he came out and did the repair.  This involved jacking up the decks so he could remove the bad lumber.  

The end result is that we now have a very solid foundation for our decks.  The work was done beautifully and structurally sound.  He even painted the supports the exact color of the existing structure.  I only wish that Yavapai Decks did other work - we would hire them in an instant!

Amazing landscaping and masonry company!

Keystone has done a ton of work for us over the past year, and we've been thrilled with the results every time! The owners Daniel and Robert are so pleasant to work with--they're great listeners and they always ensure that things turn out the way we want them. They've given us advice about alternate materials or approaches that might work better than what we had planned, and any time we've gone with their recommendations, it has turned out great. They've helped us problem-solve several tricky aspects of our yard design. We've hired them for so many different things that I couldn't select all the categories. Here are some of the projects they've done for us:

- Masonry and block work, including retaining walls with stucco
- Beautiful stone veneer on our spa facing and travertine tile on the raised bond beam wall of our pool
- They did our pool coping in natural flagstone
- They helped us with some drainage problems where our yard was flooding anytime we had heavy rains
- A parking pad behind our RV gate with concrete pavers
- Custom gas fire pit with stone veneer facing and flagstone surface to match our pool
- CMU corner wall with the same stone materials in our outdoor kitchen area
- And they laid gorgeous silver travertine pavers, connecting our patios seamlessly to our pool decking, with an almost invisible channel drain between

We are about to begin some landscaping/irrigation with them, and then have them install artificial turf for us.

The crews show up when they say they will, and they work hard until the project is completed. And their pricing is competitive. We're so happy we found this company!-

I had my patio extended recently by Dean and his crew and that was one of the best experience I've had dealing with contractors! Dean is on top of all scheduling and the communications for the project. I didn't have to check on him like I had to with the other contractors. He constantly updated me with the progress of the project and also responded to my emails and texts right away. Dean is very straightforward with the scope of work and the pricing. He explained to me in details about how he'll get the job done, and he delivered!
The quality of the work is amazing, and the entire process was very smooth. I'd recommend Dean to any of my friends who needs roof work done. I'm so glad that I found him on Yelp!

AZ Remodel Pros installed cabinetry and a hall tree for our laundry room. The process was smooth and efficient from start to finish. Izzy had great ideas for the project and Joey did excellent work. We are so excited to have such a beautiful and functional space!

Vince and Vanessa are amazing at pool care and maintenance! Our pool as it started warming up, took a hard turn for the worse and just looked horrible and of course right before the weekend with company coming over.  Within two days, the cloudiness issue disappeared, the algae was gone and with water is sparkling once again.  I can't say enough about this company.   Great people, great Australian accents AND they know pools!

We hired Dynamite Construction to build a den addition including a Kitchen remodel. The owner and the entire Dynamite team were amazing. We got exactly what we wanted and more in the timeline promised. The den addition came out better than what we hoped for, and I also have a beautiful white kitchen that I have always dreamed of. We  have ZERO hesitation in recommeding Dynamite construction. They go above and beyond for the satisfaction of their customer.

Tony and Rex were very responsive in getting to my house and giving me an estimate. The price came in very reasonable and included putting in Pebble Tec (not the brand but a similar product with sand and glass) , building the Baja deck and changing my tiles. The estimate was 2 weeks to deliver.
The tiles are Italian in aquamarine color and the pebble product I chose was sand 3.

Pros:
1) the team was very professional, friendly and did the service well. They left the area clean and did a good job.
2) the pool was delivered in two weeks as promised.
3) the pool looks beautiful and I am very happy with it.

Cons:
1) I never knew what time the men were coming. If I didn't work from home I could not have done this project as there was no scheduling whatsoever. There were days they came early, days they came late, days they did t come. there are different crews and one does not communicate with the other.
2) Tony is busy so he often does not respond to texts. I was trying to find out scheduling and if the men were Coming and at times couldn't get answers. If you call him he will always pick up tho.

So the communication part is the only reason I give him 4 stars. The results were great.

Jason and his team delivered a great product.  We did a full front and back yard landscape job from scratch, so there were many elements.  Hardscape, Planting, Turf, Sports areas, Pavers, Structures, Misting all turned out fantastic.  Jason was on top of ordering and getting jobs completed even with extreme supply and labor shortages.  Would absolutely recommed and work with Flowing Wells again.

We had a roof leak into a very small space behind our water heater. There was small water damage and a bit of mold. Other companies quoted us $1700-2700 because they wanted to remove the water heater. Elias was able to do it for a third of the price without removing the water heater! He was a great contractor to work with- let me know when he was on the way and was very understanding of our wanting to keep costs down. He did a great repair job and we plan to ask him to help us with other projects in the house. Thanks Elias!

We needed some damaged roof tiles replaced, and Stan did a great job. Just from a picture, he noticed two other tiles that were damaged which I hadn't even noticed before then. Keen eye for detail, which I really liked. Very reasonable, thoughtful, and patient with all my questions.

Matt and his team did a great job resurfacing our fiberglass pool in just a few days. Matt was straightforward with the price, did what he promised, was done on time, and cleaned up nicely. I would recommend Matt's Magic Pools to anyone who needs their pool resurfaced. We'll done fellas.

4 Stars for work
1 Star for reliability

Geremy installed floating wood shelves in the kitchen and did a good job. They're sturdy and look good, but could have been finished better in the end. Putty was left to dry and I had to have my handyman sand it all down as well as add more where there were some noticeable gaps at joints. I didn't ask Geremy come back to finish because it wasn't the end of the world to have to have someone else finish, it just would have been nice if he had completed the job himself. There was also an incident where he accidentally leaned against the stove knobs, turned on the burner and melted plastic on my brand new stove top that had never been used. It wasn't able to be cleaned up complete which is a bummer, but the worst part is he didn't tell me about it- I had to hear from my handman.

I hired him for a second job- a pergola over my back patio. After he rescheduled a couple of times and then didn't show up another one or two times, he finally came, but came so late in the day that he ran out of time and couldn't install my string lights. I went ahead and paid him the full amount for the job but I've never been able to get him to come back to finish the lights that he said he'd be back to hang the following day. After a lot of excuses, several texts and a phone call and continuing to tell me he'd come back to hang them, he still hasn't finished the job. I've been waiting since May 20th and now he isn't responding to my messages at all.

It's a shame because his work is good, but reliability and communication are terrible.

This team was amazing. They listened to what I wanted, they were timely and always communicated any changes or updates. I have actually requested them to work on additional projects.

When we knew we were going to build a pool, we got 4 quotes (wanted more but some company's didn't call us back....). Randy returned my call, agreed to meet at the house to give me a quote. He was the only one who called the day of the appointment to confirm (a professional detail nobody else performed). In honesty, his was the most expensive quote...yet....he also seemed the most professional. His contract is all inclusive: if a price goes up, you don't pay the increase. Once the contract is signed that is all you pay. From the time we signed our contract to the time the equipment was purchased the price went up $7K - we didn't pay another penny!

The quality of the work is terrific. The communication is the best. Randy (the owner) or Matt (Randy's assistant) show up to the site any time there's a sub contractor. I think the thing that really separates Desert Art Pools from other pool builders is that they build every pool as though they are building it for family!

While the pool isn't finished....we are days (maybe weeks) ahead of schedule. Let me ask you this, who do you know that is any days ahead of schedule in this post covid Summer of 2021? Neighbor across the street is months behind (he went with a company that didn't even call us back). Same neighbor has been uncharged thousands of dollars for unexpected work. With Desert Arts, if there's an unexpected expense....Desert Arts has it included -- no surprise contracting!

If you want a team that shows up, does the job, tries to do the job as quickly as possible, treats you like you are family and not just a check....I really do suggest you go with Desert Arts.  

We will continue to use them post pool build as our pool service people.

Upon the purchase of our new home we needed to complete the dirt back yard. We obtained several quotes from Landscape companies and they were all over the board. Rusty gave us a bid which was highly competitive and covered things others had missed. It was also easy to see the passion he had for our project. We worked together to design a 9 hole putting course, not a putting green, but 9 individual holes. Rusty and his team jumped right in and created a high quality putting course, lighting, landscaping, BBQ island, and pavers. Honestly we could not be happier with the results. Excellent communication, excellent work and an excellent product. Friends and family are amazed at the high quality finished product that is our back yard. I highly recommend L.A. Pools and Landscaping, you can come check out my yard to see it for yourself.

Thanks Rusty and Team our backyard is Amazing!
