Geico Builders specializes in meeting your expectations before, during, and after the project is complete. Our most upstanding quality is our accountability--you can expect us to own the work we complete for your home. Of course, we know accountability means nothing without proof, which is why we are happy to offer a 2-year workmanship warranty to all of our clients. This is a rare quality for this industry, but we wanted to prove to you that we stand by our craftsmanship through our home remodeling construction services. Every Crew at Geico Builders has been professionally trained and will treat your home with integrity and respect.

"We recently had our kitchen and bathroom completely renovated by Geico Builders, and the transformation is beyond what we imagined! After with several other contractors, we decided to go with them and it was the best decision we mage. Mila, our project manager, was fantastic from day one. As first-time remodelers, we had a lot of questions, but Mila guide through every stage with patience and professionalism. The communication was consistent, and any concern we had was handled right away. The team even helped us refine our design ideas and brought them to life with a stunning 3D preview before construction began. Everyone we worked was friendly, organized, and clearly passionate about what they do. The finished kitchen and bathroom are both beautiful and functional exactly what we were hoping for. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Geico Builders to anyone planning a home remodel!"

"A&Y Performed a tree removal for me. It was approximately an 80-foot tree very close to my house and backyard deck. I was a bit nervous as I had seen "TREE Fails" on YouTube. Their insurance was current and complete so that helped my nervousness:) The crew arrived on time and had the tree removed by noon. I was very impressed and highly recommend A&Y for tree removal. They left the worksite clean and split the rounds and stacked the wood for me (I wanted it for firewood). I felt the price was fair and the customer service was excellent. I would absolutely hire this company again. Thank you Yohana:)"

"I recently had my driveway done by this pavers company, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Rafael, the owner, was incredibly professional, attentive, and detail-oriented. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. The quality of the work is exceptional—everything was done with precision, and the final look is even better than I imagined.

"Juan and his team were excellent. They removed two 50+ foot tall trees near our home in a tricky location that required chopping up the trees into smaller bits and lowering them individually by rope. They were on-budget, on-time, and far faster than their initial time estimate of 2 weeks (done in 1 week). A team of 5 were at our home every day for 6 days and got it all done. Super professional, courteous, kind to our neighbors, and great quality of work all around. A+ rating, would work with them again."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

It depends on how you’ll use it. Both awnings and pergolas create shelter in outdoor areas, but pergolas have grid-style roofs, which are more open than awnings and not as effective at blocking out UV rays and precipitation. Also, pergolas are permanent structures, so you can’t put them away when you aren’t using them (unlike retractable awnings).

For optimal sun exposure, strategically place your trellises along the northern boundary of your garden bed or adjacent to a fence or wall. Conversely, consider situating the trellises on the southern side in sun-drenched locales to create soothing shade for heat-sensitive plants, effectively screening and sheltering them from the scorching summer sun.

The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work. 

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

Pergolas and similar overhead outdoor structures will typically be subject to building code regulations. Every municipality is different, and some may have specs or permit requirements, so it’s important to double-check. Some HOAs may also have restrictions on what you can build, so be sure to check with your HOA as well (if applicable).
