I would not recommend D&C Patios to anyone. They have been a headache to deal with from start to finish. The patio was not built as per contract drawing, the patio is on an angle (where it shouldnt) damage was done to pre-existing structures during install, site left dirty etc. As soon as we started to report issues Glenn has chosen to inspect them when he knew that only my wife would be home. He has proceeded to be very condescending towards her on these occasions addressing her like a child, shes an engineer but that shouldnt matter. The issues were never fixed and we were forced

Fly over patio was good quality but very expensive. Administration are woeful. Once you have the product built, you can never get a hold of anybody. Administration and customer service really lets this company down and for this reason, I do not recommend them.

I would like to leave your company and yourself a very high recommendation to the professional attitude and knowledge required, to complete a complex-ed construction that my site required. Also a very big thank you for indulging my questions during construction, and explaining how things work. Your work team were very professional polite and a joy to work with. My wife and myself wish your company and yourself all the best in the future, and can from our experience recommend your services to anybody who would like to engage your company to supply your expertise to complete their project.

We recently had a flyover patio installed by DC patios. It's not often that my expectations are exceeded but they were on this occasion. The whole process was easy from start to finish. Fantastic quality job. The install guys were very efficient and cleaned up before they left site. Thanks guys.
