We're so lucky to have found Scott and his company that pride excellency, honesty, integrity, and professionalism in his work. Our family could not be any happier with the project (patio cover) results. You get all your money's worth. Thank you Scott for your excellent work. We really cannot thank you enough. More power and projects to come your way! Highly recommended for anyone looking for perfection! 👏👏👏

Scott designed and built patio covers for our new home. They turned out beautiful and we are very happy with them. He did all of the electrical work for the fans also. He was professional and we would highly recommend him to everyone!

I just moved to San Diego and I needed the wooden, fungus filled, termite infested awning replaced with an Alumawood awning that would not attract fungus or termites! I interviewed three contractors and SAE's "can do" attitude was wonderful after talking to two other Alumawood awning installers. They did a wonderful job and exceeded my expectations. They were very polite and left the yard immaculate!

Worker arrived at my house at the stated time. Worker started work and completed necessary work for first county inspection. After the inspection was completed the project had to be put on hold due to backorder of the ceiling panels. It took 3 or 4 days for the ceiling panels to get in. Once the panels were in the project resumed and was completed in about two days. County inspectors came back and did the final inspection and the project was complete. I'm very pleased i decided to go with SAE Builders. I would use the again and definitely recommend their service.

We contacted them way back and we ended up using them in October. Removed all the old large wood patio cover and replaced it with aluminum. Excellent company! Very professional and always cleaned up after their job. We were very happy with their work. Very reliable and punctual!

I had met with several other contractors prior to SAE Builders. I really had a good feeling after meeting with Scott, that I decided to hire him. Scott was very helpful, he met with me and listened to my concerns, he went over several design ideas. I decided to go with a roof mount application. He was very prompt emailing me a proposal, and pictures of a roof mount application that he did on a prior job. I love the way the patio cover came out, the taller roof mount really makes the patio look larger. The workers were very professional, courteous, and clean. I would most definitely recommend them to my friends, and family.

The patio cover looks great and the contractor group who came were efficient, professional and able to get it up despite a rainstorm. Looks great and was a great value!

They are wonderful! They are honest, good, and hardworking workers. Any time I need them, they get right back to me. All workers are wonderful! They were here on time and they did good work. They don't use junk stuff when they bring in stuff. They bring in quality stuff. I won't go with anybody else.

From the very first contact Scott and his team were very helpful and professional. He met with us and got our ideas then he sent a plan and proposal. He took care of all the permits and details. We left for work one morning and when we returned the old room was gone! About a week later they returned and completed the new area in a few days. I was amazed! Each day they cleaned up after themselves before they left and even helped with the dog. The dog absolutely loved the whole crew and seemed sad to see them go. The quality of the work is wonderful. I never expected it to look so good. The fans, lights and electrical outlets are perfect. My husband, who works in facilities and has a background in electrical work, was very impressed. There were no cutting corners anywhere. The price was reasonable especially for the quality. I would hire them again in a second!

I am very happy. The new cover looks beautiful and I no longer need to worry about termites, wood rot, etc. What an improvement to my backyard. Scott and his workers showed up ON TIME, if not earlier. I did not do a price comparison because the 2nd estimate I asked for was a no show. I really liked Scott (and I got his company from Angie's List) so instead of wasting any more time I gave the job to him. No regrets what-so-ever.

I don't normally write reviews, however, knowing how hard it is to find an honest and reliable company, that also follows through and provides top of the line final product, I chose to take the time to share our experience with Scott and SAE Builders. Scott was honest and knowledgeable about requiring a permit, working with our homeowners association, and choosing which patio cover would best serve all of our needs.
From the very first meeting, until the final light bulb was screwed in, we were overwhelmed with the professionalism. The crews were on time, courteous, respectful, cleaned the area each and every night...and completed the job on time, exactly as quoted.
I would highly recommend Scott and his company to anyone who wants an honest quote, creative input at the level you desire, and absolutley beautiful final product. We feel that the patio cover that was added to our home has added beauty, energy efficiency, and thousands of dollars in value.
A+ experience, start to finish, and we could not be happier.

These guys rock. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat. We did original quote requests in July and we finally got around to having them start work in November. Scott and team were patient with our crazy schedule. They were courteous, very professional and have a good sense of humor! Their work is top-notch. All our new neighbors were most impressed. We can hardly wait for our sweltering summer heat to return so we can truly enjoy their work. Our backyard has a pool. There were never any aluminum shavings or metal bits in the pool or anywhere. They cleaned up perfectly every night. The build went very quickly once they were able to start. They handled the permit process with the City as well.
This is the 3rd company we've contracted from Angie's list and we will continue to do so. We like working with family/small businesses that are in our area. Thank you, SAE Builders!!!

Scott's team was great, very professional, on time, cleaned up and the results are terrific. We had two Alumawood patio covers installed. One was covered, with fan, approx 12 x 18. The 2nd was slotted, approx 18 x 24. Both look exceptional, and we would use Scott and his guys again.

SAE Builders (Scott Egbert) was hired to install 6 new replacement windows and replacement exterior siding.
Scott and crew removed 500 sq. ft old wood siding on exterior walls, old windows and old wood trim around windows.
Installed 1/2and quot; plywood sheet, moisture wrap and new Hardie-Plank Siding.
Installed Hardi-Plank trim around some windows where necessary.
Windows installed were; 3 each nail-in and 3 each retrofit windows
Delivered quality result despite several errors made by the window factory chosen by owner.
These factory errors caused problems which SAE identified.
SAE made necessary corrections w/ factory to make sure the project was completed on-time.
Scott worked with factory to re-make 2 of the windows measured wrong and written up wrong by factory rep and had them deliver correct windows within 2 days to keep job on-track.
SAE made corrections to unforeseen problems he found when he removed siding installed by original builder.
The original home builder (starts with a and quot;Cand quot; and ends with and quot;Xand quot;) installed only 50% of the required fiberglass insulation in the walls covered by the old siding removed / scheduled for replacement by SAE.
Scott bought the insulation required to fill empty wall cavities in this area and installed it at no additional charge.
In addition, he replaced 3 roof tiles that were cracked in error by his crew promptly.
SAE cleaned up with vacuum inside house where required by their installation.
SAE delivered a quality job that looks great.
I am planning on using Scott again on future projects.

Scott was responsive and followed up on my inquiry quickly. He was able to come out to my area and offered an estimate within a day of the visit to our home. Scott gave us an appointment for install for a couple of weeks after we accepted the bid but was able to come out and complete the work earlier. The two guys that came to do the install were prompt and did excellent work. The patio cover looks great and we are very happy.

Very professional. Easy to work with. They listened and did everything we asked with a smile, even though we changed our mind more than once on what we wanted . I have to say that they really went the extra mile and we would definitely call them again. Also their guys were very polite, were on time and cleaned up the mess daily until the job was completed which I really appreciated. We replaced a wooden lattice patio cover with an alumawood one. Very happy with the results. I think Scott is honest and doesn't try to push you spend more money than you need to. Good job.

The men were very professional, polite and cleaned up after themselves. they paid attention to detail and painted the wood on the trim of the house where they had cut and replaced some wood before installing the cover over it. a building permit was pulled and the cover passed inspection. mine was an unusual patio cover because of the design of the roof but they figured out a way to make it work. One company I had give me an estimate said I would have to have another contractor come out to fix the way the roof line was before he could start and SAE did it all. my son went over the completed patio and stated that he thought this was high quality workmanship. I could not be happier with the completed project.

Most professional team of workers performed excellent alumawood patio cover work which will be the envy of the neighbors. Completed on or before scheduled time, enhanced look of our home, worth every penny. Highly recommend SAE Builders and will definitely use them again.

The service they performed was excellent. They were positive and they contributed creatively to the process. They set up schedules and kept the schedules on time. They completed the work on time and with good quality. They do excellent work and they have the client's best interest at heart.

SAE Builders was subcontracted to do the work by the contractor I had hired for several tasks. SAE built a 2-car, free-standing, gabled carport adjacent to my home. The work was done in a timely and professional manner, including the staining of the re-sawn lumber to match the home. Overall, I am very satisfied with the work done and would not hesitate to recommend them for similar work.

Before these projects began we requested estimates from five different companies. One didn't show, one was unbelievably arrogent and rude, a couple were ridiculously high and then there was SAE Builders. They showed up on time for the estimate and it was immediately obvious that they were experienced and competent. The estimate was accurate, detailed and fair. The choice was easy.
Price and Shaun arrived promptly on the days scheduled and were prepared and professional in every aspect. This remained the case throughout all the projects. Kyle assisted with the painting and was also professional and curteous. The crew never failed to carefully clean up after themselves. We have been highly impressed with Scott and the crew at SAE Builders.
Throughout many projects at two homes we have very rarely experienced the level of professionalism, curteousy and competence that SAE Builders exemplifies.

"Member, Thank you for all the kind words, we would all like you to know how we feel as well. The guys and I really did enjoy working at your home, you both made it a very pleasant experience. It seems as if all of our customers are pleasant to work with; however, you both certainly set the bar a bit higher ;-) My only regret, I wish I could have personally spent more time on your project. Thank you again for the kind words and hospitality, Scott Egbert"
