Fly by night operation

Here is an example of why people need to do there home work when choosing a contractor. There was a freak snow storm in Murrieta on New Year's Eve. Most places got less the 3" of snow, but some got up to 6". The phone started ringing of patios coming down. This patio was only held up by 4 brackets. This was so poorly built that it just feel to the ground. Thank goodness that nobody was hurt. Just remember to check references, and how long the company has been in business. 

You can never be too safe. Good luck with you next patio.
