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

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.

D&C Patios have just completed a patio and carport at my home. They have done a fantastic job and I'm over the moon with them. The staff were professional and friendly and made the whole process run smoothly. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new patio or carport.

We recently had our old patio removed and replaced with an insulated new patio by D. & C Patios. The team turned up on time and consistently worked hard on the job. We were happy with the work and effort that they put into it and they were very co-operative with anything that we needed corrected or fixed. We were impressed with the service, how the office communicated with us and kept us informed through the process, the work ethic and attitude of the team. During installation, we observed how they were put under a lot of pressure to meet deadlines and missed some details however they were glad

First.. I would like to say my patio is great and has been built well. D&C's product is excellent.
Second.. The service is deplorable.
Administrative delays in lodging the plan application with council.
Administrative delays in letting me know that the council had approved the plans. I rang D&C in the end after ringing the council myself and finding out that the plans had been approved.
Administrative delays in setting an installation date. With each delay my patio took from the promised 4 weeks to a total of 10 weeks and it probably would have been longer if I hadn't called them at each stage
