We looked at and talked to quite a few patio builders before choosing Custom Patios. As it turned out, the effort was worth it. Tom Schneider, president of this locally owned small business, is the designer and installer. Every job gets his personal attention. We had an idea what we wanted, but his consultation made our idea even better. One reason we chose Custom Patios is because Tom really builds the patio. He doesn’t just scrape some dirt and lay base and pavers, he actually conforms to the installation standards recommended for a life-time patio. We love our new patio and fire pit, and I know for certain it will be here, in beautiful condition, for as long as we live in this home.
