We're so lucky to have found Scott and his company that pride excellency, honesty, integrity, and professionalism in his work. Our family could not be any happier with the project (patio cover) results. You get all your money's worth. Thank you Scott for your excellent work. We really cannot thank you enough. More power and projects to come your way! Highly recommended for anyone looking for perfection! 👏👏👏

Right from the get-go I knew I wanted to hire SAE to build our patio cover and new BBQ pit area. From the estimating process onward, Scott was exceptionally helpful in planning, designing, and building our dream patio cover and BBQ area. We could not be happier with his work and it has completely transformed our backyard. Anyone that comes over comments how much it has helped not just our backyard look better, but how it also makes inside the house feel cozier too. Scott takes the time to make sure the installation is done both up to code and aesthetically appealing; I completely trust him for any future projects that might come up and I highly recommend him.

We are very grateful to have found Scott he did such a beautiful job on our cover patio. I definitely recommend him to anyone he is very genuine, understanding, truthful, professional and top top top notch. These 5 stars don’t do no justice if I could rate in stars it would be all the stars in the night sky for him and his work.

Before these projects began we requested estimates from five different companies. One didn't show, one was unbelievably arrogent and rude, a couple were ridiculously high and then there was SAE Builders. They showed up on time for the estimate and it was immediately obvious that they were experienced and competent. The estimate was accurate, detailed and fair. The choice was easy. Price and Shaun arrived promptly on the days scheduled and were prepared and professional in every aspect. This remained the case throughout all the projects. Kyle assisted with the painting and was also professional and curteous. The crew never failed to carefully clean up after themselves. We have been highly impressed with Scott and the crew at SAE Builders. Throughout many projects at two homes we have very rarely experienced the level of professionalism, curteousy and competence that SAE Builders exemplifies.
Description of Work: During the last two months SAE Builders has completed several projects at our home. A pergola was installed, an 'L' shaped wall with windows was installed in our carport area, several posts were replaced with new larger Alumawood posts and the entire house was painted.

Member, Thank you for all the kind words, we would all like you to know how we feel as well. The guys and I really did enjoy working at your home, you both made it a very pleasant experience. It seems as if all of our customers are pleasant to work with; however, you both certainly set the bar a bit higher ;-) My only regret, I wish I could have personally spent more time on your project. Thank you again for the kind words and hospitality, Scott Egbert

Scott was professional, knowledgeable, prompt and helpful. He kept in touch when his proposal was delayed by a few days (unlike some other contractors we met with who didn't bother to follow through with even a phone call or email to say that they got too busy with other projects and wouldn't be submitting their proposals as promised). Before we met Scott, he informed me over the phone that he was very busy and would have had to fit us into his schedule as he was able, should we decide to hire him for the work. I appreciated his honesty, he sounded very knowledgeable and like somebody we would want to interview anyway, so he came to our home and prepared a proposal (very professional proposal, I might add). His pricing, although in-line with some others we received, was more than we wanted to invest. We did receive a couple of proposals that were completely over-the-top price-wise, and Scott's was not one of those. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being lowest pricing and 10 being highest, Scott's pricing was a 4-5. I'm sure he would have worked with us on that to some extent, but we were eager to get going on the project and so decided on another contractor before talking with him about negotiating on his pricing. I would most definitely call him again in the future, however, and can recommend him for being professional, prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Quote was made for construction of a large wood patio cover. Other hardscape and work was included for entire back yard, but we started with quote on the patio cover only.

.It was an awful experience
Description of Work: We bought a home for our disabled son and needed work to be done to make it wheel chair ready. This included the pouring of a cement walkway wide enough for a wheel chair. Jerry was the person who was to run the project for SAE. He was NEVER available - and kept delaying what he promised would be a 2 - 3 week project into a 3 month project. His cement guys moved the air conditioning unit - it stopped working - and the owner basically said "well it is not our fault" - we could not delay any longer - so we just replaced the unit. The back and front lawns were to be landscaped - and Jerry handled this - but the gardeners only partially did the back yard then would do no more because Jerry had not paid him. We were totally screwed over by Jerry and this company - STAY AWAY - the other comments were paid for!

Response from SAE Builders - Alumawood Patio Covers & Windows
Member, I am very surprised by your recent comments as I keep a very detailed log of all transactions. We actually provided a discount to help offset the cost of your new AC. We chose to offer a discount at the end of the project. We provided this discount to show good faith even though two separate HVAC contractors stated that the AC was not damaged by lifting it to pour concrete. One of the HVAC contractors was hired by you, the other was a service provider that I hired to confirm his findings. The discount towards the replacement of your AC unit was applied when you sent us our second check to replace the "Insufficient Funds" check you had previously sent. Jerry Sexton is not the owner of SAE Builders. Jerry Sexton was a patio cover salesman for our company for a brief period, he no longer is employed here. Our company provided a patio cover and concrete work. All other trades that were performed were done so between you and Jerry Sexton. Jerry Sexton is not a licensed contractor, nor was he when you hired him to perform the landscaping, electrical work, and other services. FYI, since you hired an "Unlicensed" contractor to perform these services, you have very little recourse against that individual. Angie's List does not allow for "Paid" comments, our other reports reflect the honesty and integrity of this company. The comment you left may significantly affect our companies rating; however, it will not affect Jerry Sexton. January 11th, 2012 was the last time you and I communicated. At that time, you assured me that you were very happy with the work SAE Builders provided. I am asking you to reconsider this situation and retract your Angie's list comment. Thank You, Scott Egbert, owner

Member, I am sorry that we did not provide adequate information for your project. I would assume your are referring to the kitchen portion of the project as the family room estimate was rather detailed? We would be happy to come to revisit your home and provide a detailed estimate for the kitchen as well. Thank you for the feedback, Scott Egbert, Owner

Scott arrived on time for the estimate. He was professional, likeable and knowledgeable. We went over options with regards to how the structure would be attached to the house and where/how the posts would be. He suggested to strengthen the posts by putting redwood inside of them because I informed him that I would be having an iron railing installed in between each of the posts. Great idea. I received the quote either that evening or the next day, lightning fast. I had prior estimates but when I met and spoke with Scott, his knowledge and plan sealed the deal. Plus, his pricing was competitive with my other bids. Scott and his crew arrived early in the morning on the day promised. The guys worked hard, no bumps in the road, no attitudes and the entire project was completed in one day. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end, stress free. It was a pleasure doing business with this company.
Description of Work: The project consisted of tear out and hall away of my old free standing patio cover and installation of a new Alumawood lattice attached patio structure.

Scott was very generous with his time and visited the site several times to help us with the design. When we changed our mind (several times) he did not make a big deal and was happy to adjust the plans and give us a detailed estimate. Scott and his crew work very fast! The sub-contractors they work with - Concrete, insulation, Drywall and Stucco, were all professional and did an excellent job. Scott was very responsive to us when we requested changes and additions during the construction, and we are happy with the results. He was able to research and find some alternatives to specific issues, and is open to new ideas and innovation. We are looking forward to working with Scott on our next project. Price: It is possible we could have saved a few hundred dollars here and there on this $30,000 project, but with our busy schedules, having someone we can trust is worth much more. On Time: All good contractors have several prjects going on, and this was made clear to us at the start. Once we started, we were impressed with the rate of progress from day to day. Building Site was always left clean and orderly at the end of the day. Trash was hauled away regularly. Quality: In almost every phase of the construction the quality of materials and workmanship exceeded what we expected. Communication: Scott was very good at keeping open and on-going communication with us, asking questions, giving answers, and updating us on the progress and any problems he encountered. Scott is a nice, honest guy and an excellent craftsman- a hard to find combination in the construction field. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Scott helped us plan and then built a detached garage for us.
