"The crew was a bit sloppy when Joe wasn't around, but he had them return to re-do a few places and clean off areas where the concrete/mortar should not have been placed. There wasn't anything than couldn't be fixed."

"My existing french patio door had an unusual width, 73 1/2 instead of standard 72. I was going to buy the door from HomeDepot at first, but any time you custom order, the price more than doubles from their in-stock price. So, I just had Caleb get the door from his supplier. I got a Masonite door installed for $1250. Caleb brought the door and custom made it on site, frame and all. The new door has a nice frame that has vinyl bottom to prevent it from rotting, which was one of the reasons why I got this door replaced. As mentioned in other reviews, Caleb is very skilled and detail oriented. During installation, he noticed that the header board was not properly secured and even fixed that. Overall, I was very impressed and very happy with the new door.
In fact, I was so happy with the installation that on the very same day I asked him for an estimate on a new job. For some reason, my house doesn't have access to attic space above my kitchen. So, I asked if he could install a door from my living area upstairs that can lead to that area. I obviously hired him again. Caleb ordered a solid core door and installed it another day. He opened up a hole through the drywall, installed new frame for the door, did all the weather stripping since it's facing attic space. Door and installation cost $600. Again, I am very happy with the installation. I'll definitely hire Caleb for all my future door needs.

"Mardo and his crew were outstanding - removed dead bushes and planted a host of new bushes, plants in front and back. Added river rock and mulch, and trimmed up existing landscaping. Looks great. Very professional and made sure the work area was cleaned up when they finished. Very courteous and priced competitively. Highly recommend."

"The process went mostly smoothly. The initial estimate was done, but after having several estimates, it became clear there was a math error from TPC, but Ramone came out quickly to fix it. We picked our granite, and Ramone was very understanding when I had to repeatedly reschedule due to an injury I had sustained when building and installing the cabinetry (nothing too serious). The team had to review our kitchen again to ensure everything would fit as expected, as they were not sure if they were going to be able to have the grain flow in the same direction throughout the kitchen. Unfortunately, that led to TPC rescheduling with us, which they communicated poorly. However, they did a great job when they came out, and were very professional and courteous."

It all started with a trip to the Azores of Portugal. RTA's co-founder went there to meet his wife's family… And had his first encounter with an outdoor kitchen. The charm of that kitchen went far beyond providing meals. It served as an inviting gathering space, and offered moments to break bread together.\n\nThe inspiration from that outdoor kitchen was bottled up and shipped back to the US. Unfortunately, there was a lack of accessible options in America in the early 2010's. Someone needed to rethink the conventional approach of construction. Thus began the journey, with a goal of remastering the outdoor kitchen.

"We were very impressed and pleased with everyone from Suburbia, including subcontractors, who worked on this project and were thrilled with the finished result.  The construction supervisor, John, was wonderful to work with.  Our home sits high on a golf course hill and we wanted to take full advantage of our view.  We completely remodeled our backyard patio, replacing a rickety and worn wooden deck with a travertine patio and creating a beautiful, functional outdoor living space that included opening up the pool area.  We had a hot tub in the center of the wooden deck that blocked our view to the western horizon from the master bedroom.  We also had a fiberglass pool that looked more like a bathtub because it didn't have any tiling or coping and we wanted to make it look more inviting. 
We sought estimates from 3 companies, but Doug, our designer, was the only one who was able to interpret our verbal description and create a graphic representation that captured our thoughts perfectly.  The computerized graphic was also a wonderful tool for tweaking the project as it progressed. 
The work took about 7 months from start to finish, and began with the demolition of the wood deck and adding a 13 ft by 11 ft extension to the existing patio cover.  Footings were installed for concrete walls that were later covered in stone that we selected ourselves, and the massive curved bar was created.  The ground where the wooden deck had been was excavated and leveled to be on the same plane as the pool decking, and all, including the original covered patio, were then decked with Durango travertine pavers.  A stone wall with a gas firepit was built, and stone planters were created in a step-down patio area beyond the bar.  The outdoor kitchen with grill and side burners was intalled and connected to the natural gas line.  The hot tub was reinstalled to the far south side of the patio, adjacent to the bar and next to a floor-to-ceiling wall that now houses a TV cabinet. 
Almost as an afterthought, we decided that our existing pre-fab sunroom needed an update as well, and, once again, Doug designed a new sunroom exactly to our specifications.  We wanted "real" walls, a higher ceiling and picture windows, as well as a "real" roof and tie-in to our HVAC system.  All were accomplished to give us a year-round room that has become a favorite place to sit and watch the sun go down. 
The final step was completing the landscaping; Doug took us to the wholesaler to select the plants we desired and had them installed in well-prepared beds.  All work was done with local building permits and inspections.  Deadlines and projected dates were consistently met.  All construction materials and debris were removed.
