It was a pleasure working with this company. Everyone was polite and attentive to my inquires and made sure that I was satisfied with the answers given. Even e-mails were responded to on the weekend in short order. The contract was clean and easy to understand with no "contractor double-speak." There were no hidden surprises at the end. Juan and Martin showed up everyday until the two week TREXX porch decking project was completed. They were skilled in their work, didn't take short cuts and made things better than they had been. Mark Picano actually answers the phone himself so there was no delay in communication. Picano Builders is my Contractor of choice going forward.

Mark was a delight to work with; listened to what I wanted and always made sure that I knew what was going on. We have a Trex deck and redwood railings and he was right about the colors working together. We already have other projects ready for him to do. I can refer him highly.

Mark and his team all did a great job on my deck and some additional work. Deck turned out better than I could have hoped for! All of the team members were extremely talented and easy to talk to. The quality throughout is excellent. I'd hire them again in a second!

Mark built me a great wine cellar! Something new to add to his resume but he and his crew did a great job. He is a straight shooter too which i appreciated greatly so no BS and expect he will come in right on his bid. No complaints whatsoever so select him with confidence that you will get a great job at the price you are quoted. Thanks again Mark!

Mark quickly responded to my original request and accommodated last minute adjustments mid-project. His crew was very courteous and meticulous about the quality of their work, despite torrential downpours throughout the project.

Mark is really easy to work with. His workers did a fabulous job and they are very knowledgeable. He repaired our deck which was on the second story and he fixed some siding that we had to have completed right away. We were very impressed with he workmanship and he made me very happy. I'm really picky.

The Picano Builders did a remarkable job in the replacement of our 1970's deck off of our two story house. The men arrived on time each morning and completed each stage of the demolition and building as planned. The finished deck looks elegant and has added value to our home.
