American Patio Masters

The whole crew is very professional and friendly. Cody was very responsive, salesperson Paul was knowledgeable, we highly recommend the whole team.

PERFECTLY!

Work commenced on time and was finished 1 day early. They were on time at the house and did a most professional demolition and installation. We would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of an excellent patio cover.

They were pretty good. I'm thinking of getting that one. The problem is we live in a homeowner's association and I didn't submit the bid in the day even though the contractor came out and told me that they did install patio covers in here. I talked to the property manager; he's in charge of the homeowner's association. He said he doesn't think they'll put a patio wood cover, aluminum wood cover in here but even though I think I've seen them. But I might try to do it again, and we're in the process of getting pavers in and we're running into a problem because we've got a gas line that we have to ... that's underneath the gas line from the house, and we've got to figure out what that is, and then we're going to put an oven out there so we've got to figure out how to get a plumber to install the sink line to the sewer, and then we have to figure out where to put it. I didn't have them do anything yet. They gave me a price of about $8000. I thought it'd be more. They came out right away. I was talking to the owner beforehand. I asked him if he would do a wood cover because I'd seen what we could get and he said they don't do wood covers because he takes a lot of wood covers down. He said the aluminum wood is better. I agree, he convinced me, but I don't know that the homeowner's association would go for it. It'd probably be better because we had a lattice at another place and we had not termites, but we had rot, wood rot on the bottom of it we had to get fixed.. They came out when they said they were going to come out. The owner didn't come out; somebody else came out. I would tell a friend to give them a call, but I would tell them that if you live in a homeowner's association you have to check with the board, because we didn't submit it yet because what happens is it's like a catch-22. When you submit it you have to do it within a few months or six months or something like that, so we don't know if we're going to do that and then if they said ok ...but what happens is that ... and then we're going to do pavers. We have just enough money to do one thing at a time, once this year. And what happens is we have wood patio covers we want to match ... we have a tile roof and we'll want to match that and that's like $20,000.

Installer Miguel and his assistant were extremely professional and a great pleasure to work with. They were efficient. One day knock down if old wood patio cover and three day complete construction of new cover. Job site clean each day when they left and immaculate when the job was over. Workmanship and final product was perfect. I recommend American Patio Masters to everyone. So easy to work with.

I've emailed American Patio Masters photos and measurements to replace an old carport in bad shape.
Lynn called me and we discussed details and expected cost ranges.
We set an appointment so that he can see the site and write a proposal.
He was very knowledgeable and experienced, provided helpful advise about carport and also about the fence which was not included and otherwise.  I appreciated his professional no pressure approach and answering my questions.
Pablo and his team showed up on schedule a few weeks later. They removed the old carport and installed the new aluminum carport with steel columns and beams.
Pablo was well responsive to my questions and showing me was was being done.
The work was done well and with no complications in 2.5 days, well within the scheduled time, and the place was left clean.
Communication with everyone was excellent. They are very professional.
We're very pleased with the experience and with the new carport.

Perfect!  And shame on me for not doing a review sooner.  No reason, just got busy with life!  Everything is beautiful and would recommend!  Very Pleased!

Lynn did an estimate for a job and I found his price to be very, very high for the scope of work. I asked for the breakdown of materials and labor but he refused to disclose that information. He said he would email the quote but I've never received it. I'm sure he does good work and he was very nice but I don't trust that he would be fair when it comes to my costs.

Perfect!  Very, very happy with Lynn Taylor and his crew!   He was very helpful and his crew finished the job in only a few hours.  We are thrilled!  Would highly recommend Lynn and his crew to anyone!

We worked with Lynn to provide a quote for vinyl, wood and alumna wood patio covers.  Unfortunately Lynn was not able to match a price received from another contractor, but I would highly recommend his company.  Lynn was punctual, able to meet late to accommodate my schedule and informative regarding the different options that you have to put in patio covers.  He was also very helpful in providing information needed to get approval from my HOA.  
I wouldn't hesitate to call him again in the future if we have additional needs.

The owner , Lynn came out to quote the job at the end of October.
My wife and I were impressed with his low pressure approach. Also, he noticed some things that a previous contractor didn't take into consideration that would need to be done because of the layout of our house. His knowledge and expertise were very evident when he discussed the nuts and bolts of the job with us (Also, his price was better than the previous estimate we got). He arranged a visit to the showroom/warehouse so that we could get a first hand look at the materials and the type of construction that would be done.
We scheduled the job to start the third week in January. It was completed the first week of February.
Pablo, Ricardo and crew did a great job. They were very professional and highly skilled at their jobs. As with any project, there are unexpected things that occur. Pablo was able to figure out how to work through all of them with relative ease.
The finished room exceeded our original expectations.
We couldn't be happier the way it turned out.

Lynn was very responsive and professional. He came out for a consultation and had a great book with samples of his previous work (and there was a lot). He was great at explaining the options and possibilities and provided great advice. He's very specialized and good at what he does.
There was a bit of a hiccup when he called for an install date as we were out of the country. We ended up going with his proposed date, so it was great that he was accommodating and dealt well with my relatives that were present at the time. Some of the prep for electrical that he was not installing was not quite in the right place, but that was to be expected, I think.
Lynn's crew did a great job with the demo of some significant existing structures and didn't increase the price (even when I offered) when the haul away and disposal turned out to be a lot more than he expected.
The new structure was exactly as expected with some smart assumptions on Lynn's part. Everything was perfect and a great sight to come home to.
The aluminum patio covers are certainly more expensive than wood, but they're also very nice, and very low maintenance.
Lynn is a great guy to go with because he not only performed as expected, but also went the extra mile with follow up assistance. I put in some light fixtures and when one of them leaked, Lynn had no problem coming out for no charge to help troubleshoot. He's really a guy that stands by his work (even though I screwed it up. Lesson: have his guys put in the electrical).

The project went very well. The start date was suppose to be  09/14/2014.  The old patio was taken down and hauled away on 8/27/2014. Concrete repair was completed the next day. The concrete had to cured for 10 days and the patio was completed in 2 days. They arrived on time, very courteous, professional and cleaned up everyday.  Lynn and Pablo were very professional and polite. Lynn was impressive at the first meeting and he was there on time and informative.   I ask Lynn if he would come back and go over it with my brother and without a question he agreed and came back on time to answer questions. When Lynn came back to write contract he was there on time.  Work was done as stated on contract. Work was completed on 09/09/2014 several days before start day. The only snafu was I wanted different screens, and there was a delay in them coming in.  No problem.  I was kept appraised by the delay.  All in all I was very happy with this job.

The crew was good but needed supervision. Lynn was a pleasure to work with. He really wanted us to be happy, and tried very hard to make sure we were. I would recommend him to my family and friends.

Lynn and his crew (Pablo & Ricardo) were such a pleasure to work with.  From beginning to end, they were professionals.  Lynn was almost always available when you called (granted I had his cell number) and if not, he usually called back the same day.  There was a miscommunication about the door we ordered, and a mix up with the windows, but it was brought to our attention immediately and resolved quickly as well.  Lynn came to our home several times (mind you, he's driving from North Hills and we're on opposite side of town in Pomona) and we went over the contract, the details, and for the walk through with his concrete crew.  One time he even stayed as late as 9pm to accommodate my husband's work schedule and to go over all the final details.
The same professionalism was carried out by his crew, lead by Pablo and Ricardo.  Pablo was in charge of the sunroom structure and Ricardo was in charge of concrete and electrical.  They were one of the best construction crews we have ever worked with; efficient, diligent, and communicative.  They weren't afraid to answer our questions and when something went wrong, instead of hiding it from us, they were very upfront about it and assured us it would be fixed right away.  When the factory provided different windows, Pablo pointed it out to us and asked which ones we wanted to go with and that he was going back to pick up uniform ones.   We couldn't have known unless Pablo told us or until we saw them later on.  When we had to put the sunroom's electrical on a different circuit breaker on our panel (about 40 ft away) and metal tubing had to be used because it was run externally, without us asking at all but because they knew we were aesthetically concerned about the silver tubing looking out of place, Ricardo had his crew paint the tube to match our house.  The previous owner painted the house and never left any paint so we had no idea what color it was, but Ricardo's crew went and matched it!  They did all of this without us asking and didn't charge a single penny for this additional work.  They even left the remaining paint for us so we could touch up other areas or just have paint color reference for the future.  There were a number of other little things they did that restored our faith in contractors (e.g. helping my 3 yo daughter put handprint in wet concrete, removing a very small section of bricks and pouring concrete over it, coming back to diagnose a leak in sunroom that we weren't able to duplicate to this day, etc).  Lynn and his crew were exactly as how other reviewers described, the traditional contractor that honors his word and delivers as promised.  We were hesitant in the beginning because Lynn's price was so competitive (more than $10k below other sunroom contractors we talked to), but we are so glad we did.  To sum it up, if  these people are not your ideal contractor and crew, then don't bother calling these guys and wasting their time!

I called Lyn and he came out to our house within a day or two. He was very polite and professional. We scheduled the installation for three weeks out. I received a phone call from the installers to confirm the date two days before and they showed up on time the morning of. They installed the patio cover in ONE day yes I said ONE day. It looks beautiful! We are so please with our patio cover and our experience with American Patio Masters that we would highly recommend them to everyone.

I had several companies come out and give me quotes on a patio cover.  I never felt totally comfortable with any one of them so I went on Angie's list and found this company.  Lynn came out and discussed our options - he was the first one that I felt comfortable with.  He told me that he was currently very busy and gave me a start date of a month out.  I was in no hurry so I agreed.  Unfortunately when the time came I did not hear from him so a couple days after they were suppose to start I called.  He apologized, took care of me and gave me a start date just a few days away.  When they showed up, It turns out they did not have everything they needed as they were short a key piece so they came back the next day.  They completed the entire project in just over a day.  I was very impressed.  I was expecting something a bit flimsy but the structure (Elitewood) is much stronger than I expected.  I was hoping for some follow-up from Lynn to see how we liked it.  I realized he is very very busy but it would have been a nice touch.  All in all I am very pleased with the results.
