Blake and his crew did an amazing job on our new patio! Blake was a pleasure to work with and managed the project perfectly. The subcontractors he used were professional, fast, and delivered beautiful, high-quality work. We love our new outdoor space and will definitely use him again when we are ready to add a kitchen.

We received quotes from several contractors to rebuild our back patio, but we were immediately impressed with Traditions, especially Blake. At our initial meeting, Blake remembered every detail we wanted and clearly did his homework. When we weren’t sure what was under our existing pavers, he didn’t guess, he pulled out a pocket knife, lifted one up, and confirmed it was sand. Every other contractor assumed concrete. Blake was the only one who took the time to actually find out. We also appreciated that the person we met with from the start stayed involved as our construction manager throughout the entire project. That level of consistency made a big difference and eliminated the usual handoffs you get with other companies. Blake approached the project like he was building it for his own home. The attention to detail, communication, and execution from him and his team were outstanding. Saying we were impressed with Blake, the subcontractors, and the overall process is an understatement. The final result exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Blake and Traditions to anyone looking for quality work done right the first time.

After three bids selected TOL. Had a great experience!!! Alex Dubay (Kid Rock) was awesome! We had an unusual project and he made it happen. Went above and beyond to fix an unrelated problem with our outdoor kitchen sink as well.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with our patio extension project from start to finish. Our project manager, Blake, was incredible to work with. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and he made everything feel seamless and stress-free. He was always responsive, organized, and trustworthy, which made us feel confident every step of the way. The subcontractors were just as impressive. Every crew that came out was professional, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. They worked hard each day and always made sure to clean up the area before leaving, which we truly appreciated. What could have easily been a stressful home project turned into such a smooth and positive experience. We are so grateful for the care, professionalism, and attention to detail from everyone involved. We absolutely love our new patio and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a project like this!

Tradition Outdoor Living is the best by far! We interviewed several other companies to discuss our project vision, which included an existing patio update (outdoor kitchen, countertop bar, patio concrete resurfacing, an additional covered patio, a fire-pit, and a putting green. Tradition was definitely our first choice. In particular, Jason Turner, who led the project, demonstrated superb expertise and talent in providing an excellent, innovative design. He truly was so easy to work with, listening well to our concerns regarding our budget and HOA restrictions and incorporating keen problem solving tactics to create wise solutions. From project initiation to completion, Jason was reliable, responsive, diligent, and professional. It was a joy working with him and his team and we highly recommend Tradition for all outdoor living construction projects!

From the initial concept to final realization, Tradition Outdoor Living and Wheeler were with us every step of the way. Their service, expertise, and level of craftsmanship were truly exceptional. Years later, we encountered an issue that was unrelated to the original build or workmanship. Even so, Wheeler stepped up and went above and beyond to help correct the issue. In all my experience working with other companies, I have rarely seen this level of integrity. He was honest, fair, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.

We worked with Tradition Outdoor Living on a patio and outdoor kitchen project, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Clay Barlow led the project and consistently demonstrated professionalism. He was always on time for every stage of the build and ensured his team showed the same level of punctuality and reliability. Clay was patient throughout the design phase, guiding us through multiple layout ideas and offering thoughtful, insightful options while staying mindful of our budget. He also handled the homeowners association approval process efficiently, taking care of all the details and keeping the project moving without delays. Tradition Outdoor Living worked seamlessly with Pattern Pro Concrete, and together they created a beautiful, cohesive backyard space that we’re thrilled with. We highly recommend Tradition Outdoor Living and Clay Barlow for anyone looking for a team that is punctual, patient, budget conscious, and committed to high quality work

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is the process for completing your covered patio project?

After you contact us by phone or email, we conduct an in-home design consultation. We then use our design software to visualize your patio. Afterward, we meet with you to discuss our proposal, and once everyone agrees, we handle city permits or HOA approval forms. Once approved, we can begin construction and keep you informed throughout the process until project completion.

In general, how long does this process take?

It can take six to eight weeks after the design has been confirmed.

What are the best patio cover materials used today?

Structural integrity, durability, and longevity drive our material selection. As manufacturers  are constantly innovating the materials they offer, Tradition Outdoor Living is constantly adapting to new materials and processes. Tradition Outdoor Living typically uses materials that match your home while budget builders often push vinyl, aluminum, and alumawood patio covers that are less attractive and lower quality.

Will my patio cover require maintenance?

Your new structure will require less maintenance than the rest of your home. However, special request materials may require additional maintainence. 

What should I consider when choosing a backyard builder?

Finding a trustworthy and local company requires checking out reviews, exploring past projects, and confirming that your builder is insured and meets state license requirements.
