Our Process

From Our Clients

★★★★★

I recently hired Cityside Construction to install a patio at my home, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish.The Cityside team demonstrated remarkable professionalism throughout the project. They provided thoughtful design recommendations that perfectly aligned with our vision while offering practical solutions for our space. What impressed me most was their ability to handle all aspects of the project with minimal input required from our side - they managed everything from coordination to material selection seamlessly.Despite challenging winter conditions and a difficult access point (a narrow alleyway that required all work to be done by hand), the Cityside team completed the installation efficiently without compromising on quality. Their transparency throughout the process was refreshing - we were kept informed at every stage with no unexpected costs or delays.The finished patio exceeds our expectations in both appearance and construction quality. It's evident that the work was completed with precision and attention to detail, ensuring durability even with the challenging installation circumstances.

For anyone seeking patio installation services, I highly recommend Cityside Construction. Their combination of craftsmanship, efficiency, and customer service makes them an outstanding choice for any outdoor project.

"Nick and his whole team at Cityside Construction did an exceptional job demolishing our triple decker’s old porches and building new ones. They were thorough, collaborative, and very knowledgeable. As unpredictable problems arose, Nick and his team were able to pivot and adapt to come up with effective solutions, without adding too much extra cost. All of Cityside’s partner contractors were incredibly professional and highly skilled; truly some of the best tradespeople we’ve ever worked with. Overall, the quality of the work was next-level. Additionally, they quickly procured all the proper permits and followed all safety protocols. Our new porches are beautiful; we get lots of compliments from friends and neighbors. We would absolutely hire Cityside again and would highly recommend them."

"Nick and his team were absolutely amazing. They were very patient with us during the planning process, while we decided the scope of work, but once we were aligned there and the permits came through, his team went to work. They delivered within the estimated timeline, and Nick kept in excellent communication throughout the process, texting us regularly and coming onsite for walkthroughs to discuss specifics. They took our original 1958 kitchen and barely updated basement and made them into dream living spaces, and we love our home! I would highly recommend Cityside Construction for any renovation project, large or small. I will definitely work with them again!"
