Aluminum City's Verified Yelp and Google Reviews

It was a pleasure working with Red and Ed (co-owners) of Aluminum City. Red responded quickly to our inquiry about replacing our wooden patio cover. He assessed the situation and offered a high quality aluminum patio cover with open slats to replace the wooden structure. The quality of the aluminum was better than for our other estimates. The price was somewhat higher but we always choose the best quality materials for long-lasting costruction.

Ed and his foreman arrived on time the appointed day for removal of the wooden structure. They helped us move the patio furniture out of the way and quickly removed the wooden structure, taking away all the material and cleaning up the patio of any debris. The next day they constructed a sturdy aluminum patio cover. Again, they cleaned up the site and helped us replace the patio furniture. The patio cover suits our house, simple but elegant.

We highly recommend Aluminum City.

Nancy A., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Aluminum City created a nice privacy space and sun shade for a small area on the zero lot line side of our property. Red and his team constructed the perfect sized pergola to use as an extension of our living area and we love it! They responded to inquiries and showed up quickly and even gave us great recommendations for color and design. Additionally, the price was very reasonable for the value and look of the structure. Thank you for creating such a nice addition to our house - we are so happy to have found Aluminum City!

Shawn L., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

We are so happy our neighbor referred us to Red & Aluminum City.

They were very responsive to our requests & the cover was done quickly & efficiently. They were very organized & they cleaned up . We will definitely refer them.

Suzette B., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Excellent experience. Red came by after I contacted him. After understanding my requirement and the location for installing the pergola, he advised some structural reinforcement in the design which two other folks I had consulted prior had completely missed. That gave me confidence to proceed with Red. On the day of the installation the crew arrived on time. They worked systematically and completed the work all before the promised time. They cleaned up the place and put everything back where things were. The pergola looks stunning and you couldn't say it is aluminum and not wood. Our upgraded courtyard looks so beautiful. I will strongly recommend Aluminum City.

Shafi R., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

This company is top notch they help direct me through a complicated project. They gave me

Honest pricing and always treated me like family and sadly I didn't have a big project for him because he was honest and directed me to a better fit. But even after all that he helped me order and piece for and existing awning and is trying to do it for free these are the type of people you don't meet everyday. I am not one wanting anything for free but the gesture speaks volumes.

Paul T., Santee, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Red and Aluminum City have been pleasure to work with and their work is impeccable. We had them install a small patio cover for yard and from the immediate response to our request for a quote, the speed and thoroughness of site evaluation, the ease of scheduling, the professionalism and workmanship of the install team, everything was top notch. Pricing is very reasonable and Red is one of the most honest and informed contractors we have worked with. I highly recommend them.

Sa Y., San Francisco, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

We just had two patio covers installed at our house. I was hesitant to do aluminum instead of wood, as I was afraid it would look cheap. When I called Red, he responded immediately, and continued to do so with every call or text, unlike everyone else. He met with us for over an hour and showed us the product and our choices. I had called some other companies for quotes and his was the most competitive. His installed on the exact day they said they would and were done in 2 days. His guys are very thorough and cleaned up after their work. At the end of the second day, after completion , his guy met with me for 20' and explained everything about installing the lights and fans etc. I am super picky about how things are done, and I could not be more happy with how it all turned out! Thank you Red and guys!

Roxanne H., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Red is a rockstar. He keeps it real, limits his selection of available coverings to nothing but the best, his prices low sticks to his timelines. Honest and available he's the best contractor I've ever worked with.

FWIW I called on got quotes from several FB group referred companies. The ones that actually called me back or responded to my online inquiries were either cheaper products (single layer vs insulated with is sandwiched layers filled with thick foam) or much more expensive installing much later than Red and his crew could.

Michael A., Santee, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Stop looking for another company to do your job. Red and his team are all you need. Excellent job. We love our pergola.

Cheri T., Land O' Lakes, FL Via Yelp Testimonial

Talk about an amazing experience. Today I called for parts for an aluminum mobile home awning support. I spoke to a wonderful gentleman named RED. He didn't have what I needed and didn't serve my area. Instead of hanging up and just saying sorry, I can't help you, he went to the effort of finding someplace that could help me and gave me their information. AMAZING... the world needs more delightful people like RED! Thank you so much for your efforts Red. I appreciated it so much!

Wendy C. D., Valencia, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Red, Ed and their team did an amazing job! Our new patio cover is beautiful! Red is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, professional and followed-through on the install date he quoted. Red called to confirm install the day prior and arrived to our home on time. They take pride in their work - we were so impressed with the team's craftsmanship. To have one of the owner's personally lead the install confirmed pride of ownership. Red even called to check in the evening of the install. So glad we went with Aluminum City!

Rosemary L., Union Square, San Francisco, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Red (owner of Aluminum City) is such a cool person to talk to. He's been doing this for a long time and he truly cares about his customers. From start to finish he explained everything in detail and made sure that he placed a high emphasis on customer satisfaction. Also his partner Ed and his crew are very professional. They installed our Pergola on 9/13/2021. Will definitely recommend these guys.

Richard C., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Just had our patio cover installed by Aluminum City and couldn't be happier. Red and his crew did a great job throughout the whole process. I had got quotes from a few other companies, but Aluminum City provided the best value for the price. Even with all the recent surge in cost of materials, I felt that his price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

Robert S., Santee, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

What can I say other than WOW! Thank you Red and your amazing crew for turning our tired old porch cover into a thing of beauty. Your prices were very reasonable. Your crew was talented, friendly, clean and personable. The whole process was fantastic. If you are looking for a new cover, Aluminum City is the first company you should call.

Steve M., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

I highly recommend using this company for patio cover needs they are highly skilled Red and his team are very nice and and you get excellent customer service as well. The job came out better than my expectations

Heidi R., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

The team at Aluminum City did a great job. Clean work and friendly service.

Took care of a small issue I discovered after they had left the job site in no time.

I would definitely recommend.

Andy S., Chula Vista, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Professional, straightforward, reasonable price. And they don't ask for a DP unlike other businesses (well technically a $1 to seal the deal) After work was done, we were very happy but they said they weren't since one of the posts height was minimally off only a trained eye can notice. They came back and fixed it. Thank you Red and Ed!

Gigi S., Otay Ranch, Chula Vista, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

When you work with Red from Aluminum City, you get full on concierge, white glove service. He is the first person you interact with and the last person you talk to since he calls to follow up after the job is done. You have questions, he has answers. You have special problems, he has solutions.

His team was prompt and professional. The install was done efficiently and clean. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Aluminum City to friends, family, and strangers!

Naris V., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

We waited months to finally agree on hiring a professional company to install our patio cover. We are completely in love and so happy with the outcome. Red and Ed were completely professional, funny, clean, on time, and the price was the best in town. Red comes out and gives an estimate right on the spot. Thank you guys, we can now start enjoying our quarantine lol and many seasons to come.

Jolene C., El Cajon, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Thank you Red and Ed for our perfect patio cover. We have been waiting months for this and we are over the moon happy. You guys are awesome, funny, on time , informative, and very professional. We will be recommending to all family and friends.

Jolene Cooper Lopez Via Facebook Review

Red came out and gave us a quote, he was funny and straight forward which we appreciated after getting other quotes from sales people. Red actually knows what he's talking about. His team came and completed the work in a timely manner and cleaned up after themselves. We live our new pergola and would highly recommend Aluminum City! We will be referring all our friends!

Cyn S., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

We put off a front patio cover for years because of budget and the time time it takes to get multiple quotes. We only needed one quote from Red to commit and get it done! He made room in his schedule to drive up the same day I called for an estimate because I was worried about him booking up for summer.

His guys showed up on time and got our cover done in a single day! They cleaned up thoroughly and even brought a cardboard to put under their truck in case of oil leaks. These guys are experts because they only do patio covers, and they are damn good at it. Thanks guys!!!

Rachel M., Schofield Barracks, HI Via Yelp Testimonial

Red and his installers did a great job they installed my patio shade in a timely manner were clean friendly and took Pride in there work. I would highly recommend them for any patio cover project

Kevin M., Santee, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Aluminum City did an excellent job installing a patio cover at our home. They were professional, polite, and courteous throughout the process. Red made sure that we were happy with the product and service. He always responded promptly to our questions. Their prices are very competitive and the product is of good quality. We are a repeat customer and we were happy to utilize their services again. The patio looks great. It was just what we wanted.

B C., Chula Vista, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Awesome from the start! Our home visit for our bid estimate was done the same morning we first called Red, super response. He's the only company that actually answered the phone instead of getting a recording, WOW! Ed and the installation team were Phenomenal! Arrived timely, offered great insight on design angles, and took extra care cleaning up daily. The outcome of our patios were absolutely AWESOME and the product used is GREAT! We couldn't be happier :) THANKS Aluminum City!!!

Donna H., El Cajon, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

These guys are first class. They did a great job building our amazing patio cover. We had a miscommunication in the beginning, but they delayed, readjusted their calendar and took care of us anyway. Mi wish I could give more than five stars- the job looks great, the work was done by perfectionists, and overall we are super happy. Oh, and a byproduct was the price was within our budget and made us feel good. Lastly- they didn't ask for anything more than $1 up front and payment wasn't due until they were done to ensure we were satisfied. Very happy and highly recommend Red and Ed to do your work (the owners)....they will ensure you get what you want and that it's done right. Thanks guys!

Joe L., San Marcos, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

I mainly dealt with Red, one of the owner's of the business. He returned my call promptly and we set up an appointment to come measure the space I needed for a patio cover. The quote I got was very reasonable.

I called Red back a little over a month later to see how soon he could get the project started. I was lucky he had a cancellation. He was able to fit me in the following week!

Ed and Rob, co-owners, arrived promptly at 8am and were finished installing by 1225 pm. It was a fairly large patio cover! They left the area as tidy as when they started. I'm thoroughly impressed!

Erica N., Chula Vista, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Just had a patio cover installed. From start to finish, Red, Ed & their team met every expectation. I would highly recommend this company to all my friends. Great job, guys!!

Sherry B., Palo Verde, San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Red was able to provide a quote for our 38 x 13 patio cover quickly and efficiently. We were scheduled in the same month and two people installed it in one day. The bid was competitive and the quality of work was excellent. I highly recommend Aluminum City for patio covers, they were very easy to work with and provided excellent service, fair pricing and a great product!

Patty B., Oceanside, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Red and his company is the best. They did a fantastic job on my patio cover. I bought the insulated version. Looks amazing. Red gave the best service and honored every commitment.

O S., Poway, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Red and his team installed a new patio cover for us a couple weeks ago. It is awesome! I got bids from other places, and Red's was the most reasonable. It's a fraction of the cost of a wooden cover, but so much better. These guys were on time, the work was extremely well done, and actually exceeded my expectations. I'd hire them again in a second.

Jim C., Nampa, ID Via Yelp Testimonial

We had aluminum city built our patio cover and it was beyond my expectations. We had other companies prices us some had an extreme quote. Red and his partners were amazing and completed the job in one day actually less than one day. Red was very patient with us due to our HOA approval and also kept his price our quote all the time it was being approved. The patio cover makes such a big difference in our kitchen and dining room area through the sliding doors were the cover beginnings. I appreciate Reds honesty and patience. I'll be calling them up if we decide to extend it for sure.

Yahaira M., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

So impressed with their customer service and our new aluminum awning looks amazing. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone who needs an awning built. So happy with how it looks!

Kristina M., Lakeside, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Extremely impressed with these guys. Not only were they way cheaper than the competition, but got us in their schedule immediately and were super responsive. They used the exact same materials as the other shops in the town for almost half the price. Their staff are professional, honest and do a great job. 5 stars!

Chris K., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Aluminum City Patio Covers is an outstanding company with integrity. After multiple estimates by competitors, we chose Aluminum City based on the price and quality of materials. Both owners, Red Craven and Ed Johnson provided outstanding customer service. They were actively involved from the initial estimate to the final inspection. They and their crew expediently executed the demolition of the existing patio cover and constructed an amazing new one. The quality of the materials outshined the competitors, as did the time frame to complete the project. We highly recommend Aluminum City Patio Covers. They are a company with integrity, they stayed within the quoted time frame to complete the project and have created an amazing outdoor living space, for a very competitive price.

Sasha S., Escondido, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Everything about this business is amazing. The guys are all so nice, and the end product is flawless. I'll be honest, I thought it was going to make my living room super dark (it doesn't) and we spend so much more time on our patio now. It's awesome. These guys showed up on time (which is beyond appreciated) and finished in the time they said they would (only 4 1/2 hours) annnnnnd they cleaned up after themselves and even used the blower to clean up the stuffed animal snow from my puppy. Awesome guys, awesome product!!!

Kelly T., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Great team! So glad that I hired them for the job. I needed a small awning attached to the house to protect my motorcycle from the elements. Fair price, fast service done right the first time. They really listened to my needs. Once during construction, when it looked as though I might not be satisfied with the outcome, they stopped and removed much of what was already installed to make some minor adjustments and still finished fast. I'd hire them again.

David B., Spring Valley, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

I had Red from Aluminum City come out and give me a quote on a lattice patio cover. He answered the phone right away , he was on time for the estimate and the crew was on time to install the patio cover. They did an excellent job on the patio and my wife and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Aluminum city to all my friends and family. Great Job

Rick C., Lakeside, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Red and his team are amazing!!! We love our new patio!! They delivered exactly what they promised, exactly when they promised! They cleaned up, and patched beyond our expectations ! We strongly recommend!!

Kelli D., Ramona, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Highly recommended. We suggest you call Aluminum City as your first bid.

Aluminum City gave us an excellent bid and installed a beautiful aluminum awning on our home, spanning the entire length of our south-facing backyard, in a single day. We were highly impressed with the skill and professionalism of the entire job. While AC also does large commercial work they were wide open to handling our residential job. We could not be happier. Our thanks to Red, Ed and Robert for a perfect job.

Mel M., Chula Vista, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Red who is part owner of the company with Ed, designed the patio covers to satisfy our needs and did an excellent job and was great! He answers texts quickly and designed a cover that our family loves! Ed and his partner were here on schedule and built our patio cover in one day that we're very pleased with! Also, he was able to beat prices from competitors. Highly recommended!!

Bill R., San Diego, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

This last Monday I had a patio cover installed by aluminum city, it's fantastic, I'm real happy with it, red is easy to talk to and knows his stuff, his crew which was ed and rene, ed is also an owner of this company, the whole crew were great and hard working guys.

Red came out and gave me the quote and I was going to go with the brown cover and red said they have a new gray color and me having a gray house thought that would be great so he got on the phone on a Saturday and said yes he can get the gray for me, I thought wow.

These guys were over the top, it just looks so nice. I will be telling Everton I know about the great experience I had with this company.

So I am the first gray cover that they have done in town.

I was going to post pics but never used yelp before and didn't see a way to do that

Mike D., San Francisco, CA Via Yelp Testimonial

Great local company. Always takes care of all their customers. Highly recommend for all of your awning needs.

Red Craven, along with his team, Robert & Ed, are awesome. They replaced very large sun room that was destroyed in our recent Jan. 31 rain/wind storm. The new one is beautiful. It is built stronger & better than I could have imagines. Their work ethic & customer service is beyond compare. The guys are here every morning & work until dusk. All my questions & concerns were always addressed immediately & Red is always available. They clean up everyday before leaving. Red & team work to make sure everything is perfect & to my satisfaction. They are courteous & professional at all times. I am so happy I was referred to Aluminum City. They go beyond what is required.

Aluminum City Company is very professional. The communication regarding start dates, the time of day the would start, and what to expect. We are thrilled with the finished product. We would recommend anyone to contact Aluminum City for an estimate, you won't be sorry you hired them.
