We are very happy with River City Deck and Patio!We wanted to replace and extend our existing deck and Lee worked with us on a few different options until we got to the one that worked for us.James and his crew were great, it was completed faster than I anticipated and with good quality.Overall, we felt like we were in good hands through the whole process.

Heidi and Lee were great with design and project management- working to make sure we had everything we needed for HOA ACC approval. Our construction team - James, Wade, and Jacob - were consistent, fast, friendly, and highly skilled. The craftsmanship of our project was impressive. We’re so glad to have this project wrapped up and ready to enjoy!

Phenomenal company, run by an honest, hardworking person. Came out and gave us a rough quote on our project, with no charge at all. They even have trusted tradespeople listed on their site - and some will give you a discount if you tell them where you heard about them! When we decide to move forward with our project, you can bet they will have our business!

We highly recommend River City Deck and Patio and would give them 10 stars if we could. We had an old deck that needed to be removed and wanted a screened porch in its place. Lee's design, and his team's execution, created a beautiful area for our family to relax and enjoy the outdoors without all the bugs. The crew was on time, professional, and cleaned up the site before leaving each day. All of the materials used were high quality and the craftsmanship impressive. We are very grateful.

I would definitely recommend River City Deck and Patio. Quick to come out and give a bid and communicated well the entire process. I already had a deck, so we just needed to replace it with what I pretty much had, but I can tell the new construction is far better than what I had before. I am also so happy with the quality! I needed shade, so Lee suggested a mini arbor, and it looks great and helps with the sun.

Great price, on time, very professional from start to finish with all employees and owner included. Only company that gave me practical solutions for issues by design at no extra cost. Completely satisfied with bid, workmen, and completion. We used their recommendation on materials for less price and a way better outcome. Very, Very pleased. Save yourself some time and money and meet with Lee.

There does not exist a better Deck and Patio company in all of Texas. Not hyperbole, just the truth. Lee, Jacob, and James are phenomenal! Not only did they build a top of the line deck of the highest quality and craftsmanship, they also did it significantly cheaper than competitors and orders of magnitude faster. I HIGHLY recommend River City Deck and Patio.

Our entire experience with River City Deck and Patio has been a blessing beyond belief. From the initial consultation where we designed our deck with Lee, our interactions with Cynthia in the office, to our actual build of the deck. Every single step of the way has been seamless, understanding, and compassionate. They have very high quality workmanship and materials, Lee has had great communication and his team was amazing. They worked very quickly and were done within days. We had catastrophic tragedies occur with our family between our first consultation/agreement and final build. Lee and Cynthia treated us with so much kindness and compassion. Thank you for building the most beautiful deck, to enjoy for the lifetime of our home. This investment will be a reminder of the good hearted, hard working people at RCD&P every day we enjoy it. Thank you for your patience and hard work! We will forever appreciate you 💗

Lee has high expectations for the contractors he oversees. I told him my dream, and he had 4 different experts make it happen. Each one paid attention to detail, followed code, and provided a quality product. My wood deck was removed and the cement slab poured, with the area divided into a shed, a screened-in porch, and a pergola shady area.

Stop looking for outdoor contractors. You found the best. Lee and Heidi did an incredible job designing our pavilion. The construction crew, led by Joe, was professional, flawless and timely in the construction. It took a little over a week to complete and my wife and I couldn't be happier!!! We highly recommend River City Deck and Patio.

They built an arbor and painted /textured the concrete patio. Made a huge difference to the back yard. The space is now inviting and usable regardless of how hot it is outside. I definitely recommend!

We had three companies come out to discuss building a deck. We were most impressed with River City Deck and Patio. Very professional, timely and an excellent joy on our new screened porch. We would highly recommend them for your needs!

Absolutely top-notch business that is becoming a rare breed these days. Lee and Heidi were truly a pleasure to work with. Outstanding communication and professionalism throughout the entire process. No games, no empty promises...kept their word on everything. Crews were timely, professional, and thoroughly cleaned up at the end of each day. Patio cover turned out fantastic...couldn't be happier with the results! I highly recommend River City and would certainly call them first for any future needs!

We are incredibly happy with River City Deck and Patio. My wife and I would definately recommend Lee and his company! We wanted to build a elevated deck with a Patio cover. We did research and chose River City Deck and Patio. Man are we glad we did! After my wife met with Lee on the initial consult appointment, she was ready to hire him immediately. These folks are straight shooters! After a few more estimates, there was no doubt who we were going with. We had no sales pressure what so ever when we sat to go over the proposal.James and his crew were professional, friendly, courteous and proficient. They kept a clean worksite. It was pleasing to see the daily progress. The project was done in short order, and with such quality and craftmenship! We are very pleased with the entire process, from start to completion. We absolutely recommend River City Deck, without reservation!

What a fantastic job Lee and his crews did on our Patio cover! The entire process was smooth and painless, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The crews were all extremely professional, and the work definitely speaks for itself. Highly recommend these guys!

River City Deck and Patio is an awesome company to work with, and Lee is a true artist when it comes to deck and patio work. My mother has worked with him on several projects, and even when multiple other deck and patio companies have told her that her ideas were simply not possible, Lee never failed to design something beautiful and perfect to bring her visions for her yard to life. I would highly recommend River City D&P, if you're looking for something custom, they are the business to turn to. If you've ever been told "no" by another "custom" D&P specialist, call Lee! He'll even tell you what to plant and where to get the dream garden you've always wanted.

We wanted to enclose our patio with screen to control insects. We weren’t sure exactly what we wanted but Lee came over and made suggestions as well as listened to what we wanted.He drew up a plan and gave us a cost estimate and a tentative construction schedule. We agreed to the plan and signed right up.It was really cool how the different crafts people came and did their specialty parts of the project, each time, leaving everything neat and tidy.The patio was completed on time and it looks absolutely fantastic! We’ve had our neighbors over and they, too, have been impressed with the work.The main point of this review is not to brag about how cheaply we had it done. It’s to brag how well it was done. If you want something done as cheaply as possible, go look elsewhere. If you want something done right, as promised and leave you with a product you can be proud of and that enhances you home investment, use River City Patio and Deck.As a bonus, Lee’s crews fixed a problem with a marble slab that had come free on my outdoor kitchen!Danny

Quality Leadership, quality craftsmanship and quality products. We did our research, took a few bids and River City Deck and Patio was our clear choice. No salesman; you deal directly with the owner. It’s like dealing with a financial advisor, you want someone you trust with your money and your home. Lee and his team of craftsmen were first class start to finish and the pictures are the proof. We love it. Replaced and expanded a 20 year old composite deck with concrete and cool coat. Added a pergola for shade. Three areas, sitting, dining and hot tub. Perfect.

Can't express enough our satisfaction with the final product that River City Deck and Patio constructed at our home. Our project entailed screening in a 10'x10' concrete footing from which was extended a 28'x12' cedar deck. When I say extended I mean extended -- our home sits on a severely sloped landscape which meant the deck was suspended nearly 20' high. Lee helped us create a plan that effectively met our spatial ambitions, building & HOA requirements, and budgetary constraints. James and Jacob constructed the deck within approx 8 business days. We were amazed at the pace & care with which this duo completed their work -- especially as the deck suspended at such a significant height. Though it was a physically taxing project, they proceeded with a degree of professionalism we admired -- could tell they took a great deal of pride in the product they were building. Neighbors have commented on the quality of the craftsmanship. Several pictures are provided. The screened space will serve as a mosquito free, UV protected space we can enjoy during summer nights. The arbored deck space will serve as an outdoor dining area that we can use to entertain friends. The remaining uncovered deck space will be used to grill, enjoy a fire pit and lounge in the sun when desired. Love the way this project has come together. River City's bid was competitive with other builders -- plan was superior and I can't imagine the craftmanship could be better. Overall an excellent value. The deck should be stained by a separate party within 10 weeks -- we'll provide updated pictures at that time.

Lee was great to work with. Communication was clear throughout the process. His many years of experience show in our new deck! He helped design and problem solve in ways we hadn’t thought of. Would highly recommend.

Arbor came out awesome. Lee was really informative and was really easy to get a hold of if I had any questions or concerns. Craftsmanship is top notch. Will definitely use again for future projects.

This is a company worth writing home about. They're not just good, they're great! From calling and talking with Lee, the owner, to consulting with Heidi, the design gal, to watching Oscar and his helper build the deck, all of it was a satisfying experience. In less than three days we had a beautiful deck that expands our living area and is so inviting. We've had many complements already and it's only been a week since completion. We would certainly recommend River City Patio and Deck, and, as a matter of fact, already have to an admiring neighbor. It was a pleasure doing business with this very professional company.

We have used River City Decks for three projects and all have been absolutely great ! The crews are always professional, do quality work and clean up after each job. Latest project was an enclosed back porch and new floor.

We are incredibly happy with River City Deck and Patio and would highly recommend them!!We’ve been wanting to build a deck off of our elevated porch for years. We did lots of research on who could do it and choose River City Deck and Patio based on some reviews we saw on Nextdoor. So glad we did!After my initial email request for info the owner Lee reached out and scheduled a consultant to come talk with me. We met Heidi the next week who came out and listened to my thoughts and ideas. She drew up a design plan including costs before she left. She indicated if we moved forward it would be 5 or 6 weeks when they could start and that it would likely take 8 days. Absolutely zero sales pressure. We looked over the design and texted her asking to change a few things which she did the next day and submitted a revised quote. We let her know we were happy to move forward and then expected to wait for the 5 weeks.Lee called a few days later saying that had a shuffle of clients in their schedule and they could start the next week. Woohoo!!Carlos’s two person team showed up at 7:30 every day and worked until 4 or so. They were 100% professional and they were FAST!!! It was amazing to watch the progress each day. They had it done in 4.5 working days (7 calendar days with rain). Amazing!!!Our neighbor has a similar type deck so it’s easy to compare details and quality. Hands down our deck construction is so much more professional. It’s the little details like the cornered edge and end caps that make it really stand out.We are 100% happy with the entire process from start to finish. Highly recommend River City Deck!

Loved working with Lee and Heidi to bring an image in my head to life. I felt like I was treated as a highly respected family member. I got several bids. Heidi showed up and asked for the Platt map of my property and taught me about set backs. Had I chosen another builder, my front patio would have exceeded set back restrictions. They were priced mid-range and really worked with me to stay in budget. They were forthcoming and honest about any changes I wanted that may not be the best idea. The various crews that Lee sent were extremely polite, professional, and knowledgeable in their craft. They let me know if they had concerns and contacted Lee on the spot. They also replaced my fence and did an amazing job quickly. This is my "go to" team! Before and after pictures. Yes same house!

After getting three quotes my wife and I signed with Lee and his team at River City Deck & Patio. We are extremely happy with the decision and the outcome. The project was done on-time and in the budget as quoted even with the rising lumber costs and amount of rain we received. The crew was very professional and the quality is outstanding. We will absolutely use them for our next project.

After sharing the vision of what we wanted Lee drew up plans and got to work on our dream! While it was delayed due to the weather (snow and rain) I was informed throughout the process. Great crew, from concrete, construction, staining...it's absolutely incredible and we love it! Thank you Lee!

From start to finish the entire process was AMAZING!! Heidi did an amazing job designing our deck! Lee the owner was in constant contact with us on the status, and the crew did an fantastic job. They were on time, very professional, cleaned up the site every night before leaving and were all around great! I will never recommend anyone other than River City Deck and Patio in San Antonio!!

We wanted our porch screened in and we had set up 3 consultations and was going to go with the 1st one, but we still kept our appointment with the 3rd consultation (River City Decks) and I am so glad we did!!! After sitting down with Heidi our vision of what the screened in porch would be like came to life and the vision expanded!! And we knew the estimated cost before she left. We now have a beautiful screened in porch and a new deck with fewer steps!!! This is my favorite place to be! The crew (Adrian) was very professional and skilled! We've had several neighbors drive by and inquire about the work and I am happy to let them know about our great experience with Heidi and River City Decks. I will forever recommend River City Deck and Patio.

If you are looking for someone who is honest, reliable and professional to install your deck, look no further. River City and Lee are the absolute best. I wasted time getting quotes from other businesses. Just look at all the 5 Star reviews. River City gets 10 stars from me.

We were previous customers, and enjoyed our last patio/deck so much that when we moved, we immediately called Lee to come help us improve our new backyard. Lee was able to bring our vision to life, and Adrian and his crew were great during the construction process. We had our front porch enclosed, stairs added to our back patio, and a deck build off of our pool area. Everything turned out wonderfully and we couldn’t be happier.

I am most impressed with my new deck. River City is the best! Heidi worked so diligently with me by drawing up plans, modifying those plans, sitting down with me to discuss those plans and just being a great person. I hope to do even more business with them in the future. My deck was finished in two days! Workers came with materials on a Monday and immediately got to work and were done on Tuesday! Go with them if you are searching.

Having remodeled homes numerous times over the past 40 years, I have never had a more pleasant experience than I had dealing with Lee Lairmore and River City Deck and Patio. First, he arrived on time, rare for salespeople or contractors. Second, he spent time getting to know us, listening to what we wanted. Third, as our current deck failed after only nine years he thoroughly investigated what the cause was before we discussed what he would do differently. Fourth, he at no time gave us a sales pitch.He explained what the city code for deck construction was and that was just a minimum, the old deck did not meet any code!. He explained how and why his company exceded the code, and that was the reason his company had a 5-year warranty on the deck.I come from the old school of doing business, we agreed on a price and he put me on his busy schedule with just a handshake. He did not request any money down, later, when I received his official contract, there were no surprises, it was exactly as we discussed.His crew was very polite and they arrived on time and explained their plan for the project. They carefully removed all the old deck leaving no debris anywhere. The new deck frame was far more substantial than the previous and the deck boards were carefully matched to give the best appearance.Lee and his crew did an amazing job and they were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them without reservation.

We couldn’t be more happy with the outcome of our new deck. Lee and Heidi were amazing and kept us in the loop throughout the whole process. We especially appreciate that this company is law enforcement friendly. Thanks, again, guys for the great work! We will definitely recommend

River City built a deck for my daughter's family. We have all enjoyed it - eat out there whenever we can. So we hired them to build a railing around our huge patio which is 9' off the ground! It is beautiful and super safe for our grandchildren. They also built stairs which will serve to get down to the backyard.
