Our Promise
Lifetime Workmanship
Warranty
We stand behind every pool, patio, kitchen, and pergola we build — for life. Not a prorated 10-year warranty. Not a "good luck" handshake. A real, written Lifetime Workmanship Warranty from a company founded in 2018 with 24 years of combined construction experience.
“They replaced our patio cover which we lost in the big ice storm. It took us a year and a half to find someone to fix it. It was Blue Tide Exteriors. It took them 2 days and it is so pretty. They worked with our budget. They did a great job.”
“Blue tide did an amazing job on my front deck! Great customer service — they went the extra mile to make sure my deck was perfect.”
“So appreciative of Jordan and his team. Super efficient and very reasonable for the work required.”
