"Robert Quintero may be the hardest worker Iâ ve ever met. He genuinely cares about the quality of his work and does whatever it takes to complete a project. Ours was a complicated pair of patios with inset stairs on a slope. Robert manages employees and resources very well. If I could afford another concrete project, I would call Quintero Construction."

"A disaster. Since we do not currently live at the property, we were at Shawn's mercy on his honesty and integrity. BIG mistake. He consistently had reasons on why he didn't go to the job: truck broke down, attacked by bees, truck broke again, credit card fraud (think I heard that one several times) and a whole other list of excuses. After missing several deadlines, he sent me photos of the completed deck. I believed him and sent him the final payment. Unfortunately, the photos were misleading. The deck was NOT complete. Worse yet, it's a disaster. He put the insulation ON TOP on top of the joists so when you walk on it and you feel like you are in a bouncy house. He didn't cut the plywood to specifications; didn't do the joists to specifications. He left all this trash everywhere. He promised me he would come out and fix the platform by September 1 (I have text messages to prove) ...and nothing. He's a fraud. I feel really stupid for being taken advantage of and told my husband since this was "my" project, I would handle. I was lied to and scammed by Shawn, the owner of this company. So, if he is showing you photos of a round deck, please know these are NOT accurate. The work was horrible and needs to be completey redone....and on top of that, I get the joy of cleaning the mess he left behind and having all the money I had saved for this project gone...."

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
It might seem counterintuitive, but the best time to install a paver patio is during late fall to winter. The cold and wet weather of those seasons can help your patio installer perfect the foundation for your patio. Plus, you'll likely be able to find better sales and deals during the colder months when patio installation business is typically slower. Consult a local patio paver professional to determine the best time to install based on your area’s climate.
The cost of a paver patio is $3,800 for a 280-square-foot patio on average. Depending on the patio size, paver material, and design complexity, this cost can range from $2,400 to $7,000 or more.
The size of your patio is a significant factor in the project’s overall cost. If you're building a smaller patio of only 60 square feet, your costs will be closer to $480 to $1,500. If you want a more luxurious 900-square-foot patio, you'll spend closer to $7,200 to $22,500.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9 per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
A paver patio can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years, depending on the type of pavers and how well you maintain them.
Travertine pavers are usually the most durable, lasting 100 years or more, with regular maintenance. Concrete brick pavers have a variety of shapes and colors available and typically last 25 to 50 years. Traditional brick pavers have a more classic look, lasting around 20 years with proper maintenance.
