 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, everyone we worked with at DPTU was phenomenal! Christine opened up the communication by responding to our web inquiry, then Bryan coordinated with us to visit the property and look at our current deck and what we were hoping to achieve by going composite instead of pressure treated. He provided concise information that answered all of our questions before landing on a project plan. Communication was always consistent, and Mark and Jeff even made site visits to ensure everything was done accordingly. I will recommend DPTU to anyone who has similar needs, whether its an upgrade or not. Cannot say enough good things about this company and its people!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deck and Patio TuneUp completed an entire replacement of my rotted out screened back porch with beautiful, maintenance free, custom aluminum framing. What was once an unusable porch is now my zen space! Gene is personable, professional and kept me informed from start to finish. He and his crew are top notch in their craft! Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had a great first meeting with Jason regarding a composite porch replacement project. We got the estimate on the spot along with an overall expertise that was uniquely impressive and very helpful. We look forward to comparing his estimate with the others we are waiting on.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deck and Patio Tune Up did an amazing job on both our front and back patio. They replaced our patio railing which was made of wood and had rotted away. They came in and finished the front and back patio railing within a few days. They were quick to respond and provided a free consultation. They gave me regular updates as to when the project would start. They kept to their word and came on the scheduled day. They did a fantastic job. The job was not rushed at all. I saw how the team discussed what to do when certain unexpected things popped up along the way. The team who installed the patio railing took their time to complete quality work. They used quality materials and regularly inspected their work to make sure it was done appropriately. I absolutely recommend Deck and Patio Tune Up!
