Dave showed up took measurements said he would get back to me with an estimate and after a week and a half called the office and he told me he wasn't interested in building the patio cover. This place is a joke. He could have told me when he was at the house he couldn't build it. Sorry contractors like this have to give Alumawood a bad name. So if you need to waste some time call Dave at Prime Builders for your patio cover needs.

Prime Builders is a bad company and you should not do business with them. David will promise you a lot and sounds like he knows what he is talking about but it is all BS. Not only are they expensive the quality sucks. For a company that specializes in concrete they try to talk you out of ideas or say what you want is not possible and when you ask for their idea on what might work they give a very basic design.

But my major issue was when they said the work was all done and I called them to fix some of the mistakes he came by and was very rude to my wife even made her cry and said if he didn't get paid he would put a lean on my house. I will attach 3 pictures one is how they left the fire pit I had them put in. I told them I was gonna put fire glass on top but they didn't leave it ready for fire glass he just left large pieces of lava rock on top of the burner.

Then there was a cover they didn't put in when David came by he scooped the dirt out and left the mess. But lastly when they poured the concrete there was no foreman there David came by for the payment then left. When they complete the pour they forgot about a drain they took it out but left the concrete looking horrible around it. I immediately called him and he said it would fix itself. WTF fix itself? It still looks bad and he didn't give a discount. He got his payment but his work sucks don't do business with them you will be disappointed.

We called them up for an estimate for a patio cover in our back yard and the woman on the phone was really kind and professional. David came out and looked at our yard and gave us a very reasonable price for the project we needed. He was funny and very personable through the whole meeting. The installer Don, was quick in his installation and meticulous in his work. The final project looks beautiful! We are very happy with them and will definitely be recommending them to our friends and family! Thank you!

David was outstanding to work with! I am on the board for our HOA community and I contacted Prime Builders to install a brand new Alumawood Lattice that was 23' X 26' in size. This particular lattice required a lot of hoops to jump through since it required permits to be pulled and drawings that needed to be provided to get those permits from the city.

This was no challenge for David though and with his experience and expertise, he was able to not only do some very impressive drawings for our community but also was able to secure the permits and build the structure on time as he proposed. Years ago he also built another lattice for our community about 7 years ago and also fixed some little items with that for us as well.

I was very pleased with the work, the service that was provided, the communication and updates during the permit pull, and finally with the end result. His employees are very nice to work with and communicate with during the build out as well. Looking forward to doing business with him again on future projects.

We had a vinyl covered patio built about 7 yrs ago with the expectation from the builder that the tongue in groove roof "might'" leak a little but a "little caulking would solve that problem".Bull.! After trying to remedy the leaking like a sift for too many years I finally gave up and started calling patio repair experts that I found on line and came across Prime builders.

Boy did I get lucky. David came out to my house (a 25 mi. Drive) on time and really studied my problem. I wanted to save as much of my vinyl covering as I could (it looks great, but LEAKS), but try to put on an alumna wood roof. He thought it could be done and still give me a leak proof guarantee. The previous estimate that I got wanted to completely tear down the vinyl patio and put up an all new cover for just $5600. Dave saved me over $2200. Gee--That was a real tough decision! Don did all the work by himself!

This guy never stopped all day. He realized he had an unusual job and knew he had to make some adjustments with installing the alumna wood cover on top of the existing cover. He had to return the following morning with some pieces he needed to make the cover look GREAT. I looked at the way he double sealed the cover to our house. WOW! I am really impressed. Dave--- Don't let Don get away, he's good! I have recommended Prime Builders to a friend, alre

I saw mixed reviews before we got started, but I saw the reviews after with the owner Dave. I'm pretty good at judging character and decided to hang in there with him. He's an old timer but knew his stuff when it came to Alumawood Patio covers. I my case we have to demo a wood lattice patio because of wood rot after 12 years. So he gave me a price to demo and install the new patio cover.

His price seemed fair (actually less than I was anticipating) so I felt comfortable going ahead. We had a little of a communication breakdown in the beginning although looking back I don't believe it was intentional. I just made a few calls to get him for updates. After signing his proposal on 7/27/17 everything was complete on 8/14/17. All the work was done by one man. Dan took over and was who did my demo and installed.

He clearly knows what he's doing and I was amazed this 65 year old did everything by himself! He is meticulous and made sure I was satisfied. I believe if anyone would be dissatisfied, they were just unreasonable. I happy and love the work. I would recommend them to anyone I cared about. Thank you Dave & Dan!

We hired Prime Builders to repave our driveway and walkway 5 years ago. At the time we had problems with them. They added to the original contract without informing us of the added cost until the day the payment was due. Then, within a week after the job was done, the driveway developed a serious crack. When we called them about it, they promised to come out and fix it.

We called them numerous times, and they kept putting us off. This went on for months, and we finally gave up. This morning we discovered that they did something even worse. We tried to have a septic inspection done and discovered that when they paved the walkway over the septic tank that they left too small an opening over the septic tank to be able to do the inspection.

We are going to have to pay several thousand dollars to have the cement walkway dug up and redone after the inspection. I'm only giving them a one-star rating because I can't give them a zero.

Well business must be good because we had a scheduled appointment and we waited. But no one showed up and we didn't receive a phone call to reschedule. So my advice, choose a company that will show up or at least call if there is a conflict.will post when I find a reputable installer

After months of interviews and much thought, we hired Prime Builders to add a patio, retaining wall and drains to our property. We told them up front that we had high expectations for the block work because my dad is mason. What we got is not what we paid for. They had to dig out dirt for the wall in our back yard, David said it would only take up half of our drive way for a day or two.

This was completly false. They took up our entire driveway and our grass for over 3 days and then didn't clean up the mess. When we pointed it out, we were told we had to give a little it was construction. They left trash everywhere - their lunch trash. Our dog found chicken bones left in the grass in our front yard. My husband had to clean up the bunch that was left.

The wall had block placed in it with chips, they had to tear it out. We were told the majority of the footing for our wall was placed behind the wall. It was not, it was two feet in front of the wall, they had to dig that out. The joints in the wall are horribly done and we were told it was because the wall wasn't level - what a crock of crap!

When they poured the concrete they encased sprinklers in the concrete and we were told it was no big deal. My husband had to prove to the owner the horrible job they did, he wouldn't believe us till each thing was pointed out. We did not get all the drains we had expected. We did not get the steps we wanted and they didn't finish the side yard as expected.

Before they dug our wall we had four working sprinklers and verbally we were assured they would be moved. Instead they just broke the pipe and left the dead sprinklers in the ground. David didn't want to fix it because it wasn't on the contract That's our fault, we trusted him at his word, but it is no good. He told us we could look up a video on YouTube to see how it is done.

We told him we didn't have time and that's why we hire people to get the job done. It was very clear on a daily basis that the workers did not respect the owner of the company. When David was at the job they worked hard, but the moment they didn't think he was coming back, they did no work for the rest of the day. I know this because I was here everyday of the project, only leaving for a short period one day.

On the last day they were here, David instructed his workers not to walk on our concrete, and while he was here they didn't. As soon as he was gone, they didn't care. We trusted David to do a good job, but instead we have to spend more money fixing the job they did. I DO NOT recommend this company. Save yourself the headache.

I had these guys out to give me an estimate for a patio and some concrete work in my backyard. It was a straight forward project. David came out to give an estimate. After measuring everything and taking about the project for a while he said he would email me the bid later that day or the next day at latest. After I never heard back 3 days later I followed up with a phone call.

The office secretary told me they would get back to me soon with the info I was looking for. After another week with no word for these guys I called again out of morbid curiosity ( at that point there was no way I was trusting these clowns with 20k of my money) when I finally got him to answer his phone he simply told me he was not interested in my project. A phone call or an email letting me know they did not want to take my job would have been the professional way to go about things. Stay away from these guys!,!

In the last three years Prime Builders have constructed at our house two patios, several walkways, an Alumawood patio cover, and four stucco-finished brick-capped walls including a beautiful person-height scalloped wall enclosing the large courtyard in front of our house. Soon they will start work on two 200-plus foot walls to terrace our backyard hill.

We have turned to them for all of these projects because of their quality, professionalism and fair price. They aren't the least expensive (or the most expensive), but you can depend upon them for lasting quality, timeliness, and efficiency. The team arrives when scheduled, works steadily and efficiently without disrupting your home life, and cleans up thoroughly when the job is complete.

They are friendly and treat us and our home with respect. David Brenner meticulously plans, quotes and oversees the jobs. He provided us with 3D renderings of the walls to make sure that he and we had a clear mutual understanding of our goals. Neighbors we have not previously met have stopped by to tell us how beautiful the finished work is. David also introduced us to Peace of Mind Electric who not only made excellent lighting recommendations and installations, but replaced our breakers and gave us detailed and trustworthy information about our electrical needs.

It was a relief to work with such honest people because we have been told lies by another service trying to sell us expensive and unnecessary equipment. We happily display Prime Builders' sign in front of our latest installation and confidently recommend them to you.

BUYERS BEWARE! Not only were they rude, they damaged my mother's property and will not return her phone calls. My mother and father are elderly and trusted this guy to treat them right. How do you take advantage of the elderly. CROOKS! Their workers trampled my parent's newly planted plants and when I asked that they remove all of their tools, boards that were smashing the new landscape, you would have thought that I asked them to fly to the moon.oh sure, the guy is a salesman and will promise you the world but. HE'S A CROOK, A RUDE CROOK!

I am unable to provide a review of the work this company does since I scheduled an appointment for an estimate and they never showed up, nor did they call to reschedule. Unprofessional beyond belief! I guess they have enough work and don't need my business which is just fine with me, cause they ain't gettin' it.

I found Prime Builders through the internet and called them to have an Alumawood patio cover built in my back yard. After comparing a few local contractors I decided to use these guys and had a good experience. The quoted price is what I paid the patio was built in one day. I highly recommend Prime Builders and I will be using them for my next project.
