Recommended Customer Reviews

From the first phone call to set up an appointment to writing the final check, Robert and Rachelle are true professionals. The team that was assigned to install our lattice were friendly and professional too. We were kept in the know from start to finish. The quality of the materials & work done I could not have found elsewhere. The entire process was seamless.

We got our lattice, patio cover installed a few days ago.
We are VERY pleased with it.
Rob and Rachelle were easy to work with and although we had a few hiccups along the way they both handled them professionally and gave me great customer service. The installers were amazing. They had everything completed in less than 4 hours. They talked to me prior to the install making sure it would be done how I wanted it. They custom fitted it around our curved patio pad and it looks amazing. When they were done they cleaned up after themselves and were very professional.
I highly recommend Shade Builders.
Thanks everyone!

Rob and his team were amazing! He was quick to respond to my inquiry for a bid, followed through with my schematics in no time, and his professional builders put it up with ease. I can't thank the entire team enough for the friendly service and affordable pricing. Our backyard is one step closer to being complete!!

I normally do not write reviews on Yelp but felt this Company needed to be commended. We had a Patio Roof installed yesterday ( Hot) and these installers were at our residence on time. They worked from 9:00 AM until 6:00 PM. They were so pleasant and the workmanship was very impressive.
Their clean up at end of job was also very well done. I would highly recommend this company.
We are so very happy with our new Patio cover - which included two fans and also 4 canister lights.
Gutter work done as well.
ShadeBuilders - Kudos to your team

Well someone came out on Tuesday to come look at the yard for an estimate. I called the following day to provide them my email because the estimate was supposed to get emailed to me the next day (never asked for my email). Well it's Friday and I still have no written estimate. Nothing! Guess I'll take business elsewhere

Rob helped us get the most out of our design ideas. He measured, studied, and tweaked our ideas and came up with a plan and color samples that he gave us to present to the HOA for approval. It sailed through and he came out and demolished and removed the old structure, repaired what was needed, and built the beautiful new pergola. The finished product is terrific, with good communication and professionalism, and price was competitive. We're very happy!

I had a very positive experience with Shade Builders. Robert was very responsive to my endless questions. He also gave me great money saving suggestions and worked with my HOA to give them what was needed. The people who worked with Robert were terrific, nice and very accommodating. I would highly recommend them if you need a patio cover. They all were the best and very professional.

We contracted Shade Builders for our patio cover project. We are so happy with the entire process. Robert Bambusch came to give us an estimate, which included the requested electrical work. He also was with us to present the paperwork to the HOA. After approval, he quickly ordered the materials. Once they were delivered, the work began quickly. The size of our cover made for a 3 day install. The 2 guys who did the install did a fantastic job. They did the cover and the electrical work. We have 2 fans, 5 lights and 3 plug boxes. The patio looks amazing!

I am so happy I decided to go with Shade Builders. I love my patio and deck. The price was lower then my original estimate and the work I had done was exceptional. Robert was great to work with and I highly recommend this company for any construction projects you may have.

Got this message and then I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN. Typical. Why even go to the effort to respond to the original negative Yelp post only to do it AGAIN!!!!
