Get matched with top outdoor kitchen pros in Canyon Lake, TX

"Think twice before hiring this company. This review is based on how we were treated by the owner Donnie Ferguson. We hired Diamond Decks to install a patio cover in our backyard. The cover is beautiful. The material matches the house and the craftmanship of the fireplace, roof and woodwork are exactly what we wanted. Here’s where it all went wrong. The last job was to stain the concrete both existing and the new walkway we had them install. The crew did not power wash the 10-year-old concrete before staining. We contacted the project manager right away and asked why they were not power washing and he said the crew didn’t think it needed power washed. Ten years of dirt and they didn’t think it needed power washed? Prior to staining, the crew put samples of the color on the concrete and asked for approval of the color. They didn’t wait for the stain to dry but had us sign off on the color while it was wet. The certificate we signed says “Do not sign this certificate until all services have been satisfactorily performed and material supplied or goods received and found satisfactory.” Despite this warning they had us sign the certificate prior to the stain and seal being applied. Let me also point out that no one asked us what we wanted the stain to look like or guided us in any way to get the look we wanted. The stain looked nothing like we wanted so they came back and applied another color and seal and made it worse. We reached out to Donnie and let him know we were not happy with the stain. His resolution was to charge us another $10,000 to do an overlay on the two patios and then apply another stain. Donnie believed it was the old concrete that was the problem and thought we needed an overlay. We received quotes from two other companies to fix the stain. Neither company thought we needed an overlay. Instead they would remove the seal and stain and reapply the color we wanted. We again reached out to Donnie and respectfully asked for a reduction in our final payment of $7500 to fix the concrete stain. This was his reply: Absolutely not. We are experts and what we do and the color selection you picked does not need multiple coats. I do not care who you are getting your false information from. And you cannot remove foot print and terrible texture work that is in the concrete work we did not pour. The imperfections would be difficult for anyone to see because they are enhanced once the color and sealer are applied. This has one of the best sealer you can use and this is specifically why the form says DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM Unless you approve the color. It’s not an easy product to strip off hence the reason it last much longer and that’s why we use it. The balance owed is now past due $41628. I will need payment in full by the end of day or I will need to notify the attorneys that the contract breach is made. You’ve signed all the paperwork we asked of you and now you wanna insult us by telling us you want us to refund money cause you don’t like what you selected. This is the owner of the company, threatening, insulting and hostile. We of course were not in breach of contract and he knew it. They had just completed the work seven days ago. Again, think twice about hiring this company. They showed a total lack of concern about our dissatisfaction and blaming us for the results of the concrete stain. I will say that Casey, the project manager, was always professional and showed empathy for our concerns."

"Yes, they responded promptly and carried out the work exactly as requested."

"There were ups and downs, the materials were not adequate"

"I recommend B. Martinez Construction and Tree Service in the highest terms possible. Bernardo was punctual and after initial negotiations, Bernardo and his team proceeded to remove the tree. They also removed several branches from a neighboring tree. They were professional and competent workers. They worked steadily and did a good and thorough clean up afterwards. I especially appreciated that Bernardo volunteered to come back the next morning to repair my brick tree ring. I was so impressed with the quality of service I received, I have requested that Bernardo provide me with an additional bid for some brick work. I am always happy when I can find honest, reliable, and capable workers like Bernardo and his helpers!"

"Sols Landscaping did an outstanding job on my landscaping project. I voiced my vision and it was perfecto. They brought my vision to life beyond my expectation. I would highly recommend and continue using Sols Landscaping LLC for all my future projects. Thank you Sols!"

"This is the second project we had Eric and his crew do. Of course they did a spectacular job once more.They removed our weeds/grass and put down 8 yards of composted dirt, replaced our sprinklers and laid 3 pallets of palmetto st augustine. 1 month later it looks beautiful!!"

"It was very nice working with David very honest up front guy and his workers were very effective on the job site. We had a project scheduled for 3 to 4 weeks and they did it for me in 2 weeks. I recommend them highly."

"They were on time and did a great job, may have them work on another project."

"They do extremely high quality work and the crew knows what they are doing. I always feel very confident when they work for me."

"The work that was done well, was excellent-interior woodworking and flooring, windows and most doors. However, Blake Fullerton was almost never on site, there was a long succession of subs that never communicated with each other. The project should have taken 6-8 months; And I realize it was during Covid.. but It has now been 3 years and 5 months. Blake Fullerton refuses to communicate and has not honored his promise to take care of the very long punch list. (I have emails) The work that was done poorly, was atrocious - plumbing in all three bathrooms, , tile floors in the basement, missing hardware,. Much of which I found in the garage, after we ordered replacements. The HVAC system worked fine before the renovation, afterward, the returns on the top floor ( relocated ) and main levels (new) were installed, however, they did not connect to the HVAC return on the unit itselfâ ¦ A very large return was installed in the basement, and is the only return that works. Now it is necessary to have the basement door open at all times.. The sub that did the work was confused about the un-connected returns, and couldnâ t remember what he had doneâ ¦ The stone work down stairs was removed to make way for new windows and doors . Some was replaced by an apparently drunk worker (I found an empty 12 pack of Modelo in the trash bin) who did such a bad job that Blake Fullerton fired him after seeing the work and promised to have it done again properly. That never happened.. The takeaway is be very cautious with this contractor, stay onsite during your entire project, watch the subs like a hawk. And most of all, lower your expectations. Good luck."
