"Mike and his team built a sunroom for our single-story house in Lamorinda. Not only are we 100% pleased with the final product, we had the best experience working with him. I typically meet with several contractors before making a final decision, but Mike was THE ONLY contractor who I met with for this project. I felt like he was honest, ethical, and confident in his work product, and my experience proved that I was not wrong.


For the initial appointment, he was extremely informative and showed us photos of his work and brought samples of the different materials used. He also sketched a layout for the sunroom and provided an estimate on the spot. I called back to ask if we could change the location of the sunroom, and he came with a smile and spent quite some time preparing a new sketch and estimate for us. 


Once we contracted with him, he made the process so easy. He took care of the permits, scheduled appointments with the building inspector, provided regular updates and started the project thereafter. His team is extremely experienced, diligent and hard working. Once the project was complete, Mike called to make sure we were satisfied and had his people do some final touch-ups.


I can't say enough positive things about Mike. We enjoyed working with him and love the sunroom that he built for us. We use the room EVERY single day and can't imagine life without it. Thank you Mike and your amazing team.


Pros: Competitive pricing, good communication, great team of experienced and hard working people, pleasant attitude, and AMAZING final product. Cons: Honestly, there are none. The hardest part of this experience was waiting for the room to be finished."

"I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with Mike and team. Extremely professional and they know how to build a great patio cover. My recommendation is to go with their professional advice, and you won't regret the decision. Also, I am in south bay, and they came to work that far. So if you are wondering if might be too far from their location, just give them a call."

"Thank you Mike and team for installing my patio cover. Professionally installed and no details were missed during construction. It only took them half a day to install it. Mike will work for what your needs and budget. They're been doing this for 30+ years and you can see on the quality of work they did to my Patio cover. Highly recommended."

- Richard, Yelp

"Highly recommend Creative Designs & Beyond if you want to add a sunroom/patio to your house. Mike took care of everything from the permit to the complete project. He worked hard to meet our budget and always answered our questions and concerns very quickly(even a few months after the project was done, Mike was able to address any concerns or questions we had. Thank you Mike and your team for building us a nice and lifetime guaranteed sunroom."

"Everything went perfect. Mike was a pleasure to work with and every knowledgeable. His crew was professional and finished the job in one day. We would recommend this company to everyone."

"We called Creative Designs and & Beyond after reading reviews here on Angie's List. We had several other companies come out and talk with us. We were gathering both ideas, suggestions and estimates. Mike Nagy from Creative Designs came out and talked with us for well over an hour. He listened to what we knew we wanted and added suggestions/ideas of his own. Because we had already set up another estimate the next day, we didn't sign with Mike right away. After receiving that additional estimate, we immediately called Mike back and signed our contract. Mike had given us a complete and accurate heads up on the permit process and it's approx. cost, an accurate time estimate for completion, and a complete and accurate estimate of the job without any hidden fees. We felt very confident that we had made the right choice in going with Mike. Mike wasn't the cheapest, but we felt the most knowledgeable, respected, and trustworthy of them all. That was before we had met Bill and John. They were the two guys who installed our cover. Bill and John arrived at 7am on the dot, just as Mike had said they would! They completed our cover by 6:30pm. This did not include the electrical hook ups and installation of our two fans. That was completed a few days later by the electrician that works with Mike. Bill and John were both fun to talk to and impressive to just watch in action. As a matter of fact, at one point in the late afternoon, several neighbors had come over to watch. We had chairs lined up in the shade enjoying a cool drink, chips and salsa :) The guys didn't seem to mind at all. They just worked like they could build these covers in their sleep. It was like they had been doing this for 30+ years. Oh yeah, they have! They have been with Mike for that long!! Mike had told us this during our initial meeting, which is another one of the many reasons we decided to go with Creative Designs. That says quite a lot about Mike and his company. The guys cleaned up every inch of the yard before they left. Not one screw was left on the ground. Not one piece of scrap left behind. The only thing they left was a beautiful patio cover that has been enjoyed daily since then. We were so impressed by Mike and his guys, that we have scheduled a BBQ and invited them over to enjoy a job well done. Our home is the neighborhood and "watering hole" and and will be enjoyed by many. We've actually been and talked to by one neighbors who's wife is already asking, "can I get one of those?" All joking aside, Mike, Bill and John are welcome in our home anytime. They have now become part of the family and will be called upon again for our next project. Shhhhh....don't tell my husband I'm already planning :)"

"Mike and his team really went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule, working on a weekend which they normally don't do. Mike estimated that it might take 2 days to build, since we were going with steel beams (which made it possible for just 2 posts instead of the 3 that would be necessary without them). Instead, they were done by 2:30pm the first day!


The guys working on our cover were great too. Friendly, considerate, fun, respectful and of course they did an amazing job.


Every single thing about the experience was positive. Kudos and our sincerest thanks to everybody involved at Creative Designs & Beyond for the impeccable service and end product!"

-Judy, Yelp

"It was great. I knew that I wanted a solid patio cover attached to my house. I had talked to a several people at a couple of different trade shows and found that most of them did not do solid patios covers attached to the house. I assumed that I was going to have to hire an architect and contractor to build one. I also assumed that wood was my only option. Mike Nagy was recommended to me. It was also recommended that I consider an aluminum -prefab cover. I was dubious at first because I wanted something that looked good. I met with Mike and immediately had confidence in him as a person. I went to see a patio that he had built and liked what I saw. I love the idea the there is no maintenance. The crew that constructed the cover were professional and very pleasant. It was done in one day. I highly recommend him, he is a really good person to work with. I got just what I wanted."

"I was looking to get an awning to cover my deck about 42' by 20'. It's a pretty big job and thought it would take weeks to complete, but Mike and his crew proved me wrong. They got the job done in 2 days and it looks absolutely fantastic. He made sure that the awning was installed securely and was well sealed. They ran wires for 5 lights, 2 ceiling fans, 2 electrical outlets, and 2 switches as I requested. I couldn't be happier. The best part about all this was that Mike worked with me on the price and provided the service that other companies would charge way more than what I paid him. I've already recommended him to friends and neighbors who were very impressed with the outcome. I got 4 quotes from other companies and none could beat this company. I would 110% recommend him to anyone."
- Nina, Yelp 

"Creative Designs & Beyond is a remarkable company. I can't say enough about the personal service I received in regard to the awning that was built, mind you, in one day! The quality of the material and the excellent service is honestly superb. Mike always returns phone calls and provided such quality service. His wonderful wife is in the office and always responds as well. Thank you for a memorable awning that will be enjoyed by so many."
- Patty, Yelp
"Mike and his team built us an amazing slatted aluminum pergola. He helped us design, plan, and permit our ideal pergola to optimize our space and our budget. He was very professional, courteous, and responsive and his installation team was very skilled and experienced. He has many customization options, including slat size, spacing, and color--right down to the retractable shade thickness. I love that the final product looks crisp, clean, and professional and should require less maintenance over time than wooden options. I highly recommend this company at a time when most contractors barely return your call! Thanks, guys!"

 "I would give 10 stars if possible! We were looking for someone to build a patio cover and arbor and my landscape contractor found these guys. Mike came out, came up with a great design, and an even better estimate! Last week Mike's team came out, demoed the existing work, and constructed our new cover and arbor in 2 days!! His crew is so professional and quick. They clean up after themselves and they stay focused on getting their job done. They are also really nice people! We will be using Mike again and cannot recommend them enough!"
