Jeff, the owner talk about customer service WOW!! ,he will always have my business from now on. He took care of a issue I had with a broken patio chair I bought elsewhere.He sent it to get fixed/replaced at no cost to me. The experience with Porch and Patio was a model for which businesses should all practice.

I want to specifically comment and highly recommend porch and patio. Last year we bought an outdoor patio set. After we took the cover off we noticed that there was a bow in the table and it had cracked. We reached out to porch and patio and I spoke with jeff. He was amazing and rectified the situation immediately. They ordered us a new table which just came. My wife and I could not be happier. They had great customer service to begin with when we made our initial order. The fact they stand by their products and took care of us says it all. I highly recommend shopping here.

Great folks run the place. Inventory not so great because we went there too late in the season. They were going to give us a discount for next year but there wasnt anything on the floor that interested us.

Dean at Porch & Patio was amazing and helpful and kept in constant communication with me until the issue for repair was done. Repair was needed due to high winds at our house. The service Dept. also was in constant communication before and after the repair was done. Repair person was friendly courteous and informative and also wore a mask the entire time. I would recommend this business from sales to service.
