We recently had the great experience of working with Crisitan and his team on a complicated pool patio and water feature. He installed retaining walls pillars and was fantastic. His team was on site every day he was easily reachable and always accommodating on adds we had. His attention to detail and explanation of the process was excellent. I would strongly recommend him for any masonry or landscape work. We could not be more pleased with our results. Kevin2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Their services are top notch and will definitely use the in the future Paul2024-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Please go to other companies. not this one John Saavedra2024-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Avoid this business at all cost. As one of the reviewers said in one of the reviews which I agree and has experienced, Cristian Sanchez suddenly will not reply to your email or text messages. He will abandon customers just like that. Absolutely very unprofessional. He will sound very helpful at first when he is trying to sell his business but will abandon clients just like that when he thinks he already got what he wanted and moves on. Only thinking of himself and not his clients. I sent messages via email and text but he never replied to any after he got what he wanted. FYI I have masked my name for privacy reason and the business owner would say I was never in their list but I can assure you I had business with this company which should be avoided.

We offer cedar, pressure-treated pine, and composite options for posts and beams. Roofing includes shingles, metal, and UV-resistant panels
Do pergolas need a permit in Fairfield County?
Attached or large freestanding structures often require permits. We handle all documentation and ensure compliance with local codes.
Can lighting be added to pergolas and pavilions?
Yes. We install accent lighting, string lights, and hidden LEDs. Electrical wiring is handled safely and professionally.
How long does installation take?
Most builds take 3–5 days depending on size and complexity. Multi-feature pavilions may require up to a week. You’ll get a precise timeline before we start.
