Originally this was probably going to be a 4 star review because we had a little hiccup during the project. But after seeing how much they actually care about making things right, I had to change it to 5 stars. As soon as we called our project manager Rodney, he had it taken care of the next day. Then Donte, the owner, came by himself to make sure we had been completely taken care of without us ever reaching out to him. That went a long way with my husband and honestly is the main reason we will 100% be recommending Parish Outdoor Builders to our church and anyone else!!

Could not be happier with the patio cover they built for us. We use the space almost every night now. The concrete work came out really nice too. Our dog even chased Rodney around the yard for a minute 😂

We had them extend our driveway and pour a new pad for our outdoor kitchen. Rodney kept everything moving and answered my questions when I called. Job came out great

Really good experience from beginning to end. We did a covered patio with a large concrete slab and it turned out better than I pictured. Rodney was easy to get ahold of and stayed on top of everything

Dante came by a couple times while they were building ours and wanted to see how everything was coming along. He actually noticed something we wanted changed before we even said anything. That was nice to see from the owner

We added a pergola and extended our existing patio. Dante was involved during the project and checked in with us about what we wanted. The crew did a really good job and cleaned everything up when they left

Patio looks awesome. Rodney handled the project for us and made it pretty simple. He even brought us a bottle of bourbon to celebrate when the backyard was finished which was a pretty cool touch

Our backyard was basically just grass before this. Now we have a concrete patio, pergola and a place to put our furniture. Dante stopped by the property during the build and made sure we were happy with how things were going. Very happy with it

We had a gazebo installed and also added onto our concrete patio. Rodney was our project manager and kept us updated when things changed. Everything turned out really nice

Love the new patio cover!!! Looks great and was finished quicker than I expected. They also gave us one of the Parish care packages with tshirts, Yeti cups and some other goodies which was a nice surprise

Dante was really involved with our project. He came out to look at the work himself and called me after to make sure we were good with everything. The driveway extension and patio came out great. Would definitely recommend Parish Outdoor Builders

We wanted somewhere to hang out outside and this was exactly what we needed. New slab, covered patio and a little pergola area. Looks great and the whole backyard feels different now

Parish Fence and Patios did a great job on my patio adding a patio extension cover and the concrete slab. I can’t be more pleased with the great work.

Absolutely love how everything turned out! The aluminum fence looks amazing, and the turnkey outdoor kitchen is exactly what we envisioned. Great craftsmanship, professional service, and an easy process from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Dante and his crew at Parish Fence & Patios did an awesome job from start to finish. They completely replaced our fence, worked quickly, kept everything clean, and the finished product came out great. What impressed me most was Dante personally coming back after the job was finished to walk everything and make sure it was done to his standards. That says a lot about how he runs his business. He wasn’t just trying to get the job finished and move on to the next one. He genuinely cared about the quality of the work and making sure we were happy with it. As a Realtor in the Baton Rouge area, I deal with contractors and home service companies pretty regularly, and finding people who communicate well, show up, do what they say they’re going to do, and stand behind their work is extremely important to me. Dante and his team checked all of those boxes. I’ll definitely be using Parish Fence & Patios again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to my clients, friends, or family. Great work, great communication, and a company that clearly takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend!

Very fair pricing. The best of three quotes. Great work, final product looks good. We did have some installation timing issues. Job lasted a few days longer than originally planned. May not have been totally their fault. I will still recommend to others.

Dante was great to work with. He came out quickly, provided a competitive quote, and maintained timely communication while working together. Some unexpected hiccups arose and his team remained patient and diligent throughout, listening to our needs and adapting accordingly.

Overall rating 10 out of 10. Very professional. Superb customer service. Competitive pricing and the plus is the warranty. Quick turnaround time. I was very impressed how involved the owner was. Dante came out himself and did the measurements and quote. Any questions or concerns I had he answered and took care of them immediately. He also did a final walk once the job was completed. Someone referred me and I'll definitely refer someone as well. I can't wait to enjoy my privacy. Thank you PFG!

Why it reads the way it does
One crew is easier to review.
Most backyard projects go sideways in the handoffs, when the concrete guy blames the framer and nobody answers the phone. We do the concrete, the structure, the kitchen, the fire feature, the drainage and the landscaping ourselves, with one project manager from the walkthrough to the final sweep. That is most of what people end up writing about.
See the work before you commit.
Every signed contract includes a 3D rendering and walkthrough video of your actual backyard, built from your survey and site photos. You approve the drawing before anyone breaks ground. See our full pricing →
Ready when you are
Let's build one worth writing about.
We come out, walk the yard, and tell you straight what it takes. No deposit, no hard sell, and you come away with a real number in writing.
The biggest hiccup on jobsites? A lack of design planning.
As much as we would like to, neither we nor any other contractor you choose can read your mind. That is why we take the design process so seriously. We will not build a single thing until you have seen an immersive 3D design rendering of your exact backyard and approved it.
Whether you choose us or another contractor, we think this is a necessity — which is why we offer our design service as a standalone package. Not sure which contractor you want to use? Take advantage of this package first, and if you do choose us, the price is applied to your project.
The design package
Your backyard, before it is built
$1,800 credited to your build
A 3D design mockup showing the build in your backyard
An immersive 3D walkthrough video — move through the space as if it is already completed
Your fence, your treeline, your trees. No stock images
See the bigger picture, so you can decide whether you truly like that ceiling finish or that tile you had in mind
The full $1,800 comes off the price of your project should you decide to sign with us.
Choose another contractor? You will know they are fully prepared to build exactly what you want. We hand them 2D construction plans, material takeoffs and the 3D renderings — leaving you without a misunderstanding.
Quality is remembered long after the number is forgotten. Everybody in this parish knows somebody who saved a few thousand dollars up front and paid for it twice. Here is what you are actually taking on when the bid is low because the contractor is not licensed, not insured, and not planning to be around.
The risk of hiring an unlicensed, fly‑by‑night contractor
Fines and stop‑work orders. The city or parish can red‑tag an unpermitted structure mid‑build. The work stops, the fines are yours, and in some cases what is already up has to come back down at your expense.
An injury in your yard becomes your problem. If a crew is working without workers’ compensation and somebody gets hurt on your property, you can end up the one being claimed against — and your homeowner’s policy is what they come looking for.
No real recourse when the work is bad. An unlicensed contractor answers to no licensing board. Your only path is civil court, and an LLC that dissolves on Friday has nothing left to collect on Monday. We take our 5‑star rating seriously and we would rather fix a job than lose one.
A lien on your house for money you already paid. If he does not pay his lumber yard or his subs, they can file a lien against your property — even when you paid him in full.
A denied insurance claim after the first storm. Carriers ask whether a structure was permitted and engineered. A cover attached to your house that was never engineered for Louisiana wind load is the one they will look at hardest.
Trouble at resale. Unpermitted work shows up in the inspection. It gets discounted, renegotiated, or it kills the deal outright, years after you thought the job was finished.
A warranty is only worth the company behind it. A written warranty from a business that is gone in eighteen months is a piece of paper.
An abandoned job and a deposit you cannot chase. Half a slab, an open trench, and a phone number that stops working is a common enough story around here that you have probably heard it.
Strangers in your yard nobody vetted. Day labor hired that morning, no background, no accountability, working ten feet from your back door.
How we are set up so none of that is your problem
State licensed. Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, LSLBC #063699. Verifiable before you sign.
Over $2,500,000 in coverage. General liability and workers’ compensation. The certificate of insurance is attached to every proposal automatically — you do not have to ask for it.
We pull the permits. Parish permitting, setback and floodplain review, engineering on the covered structure, 811 locates and inspections are handled by your project manager and priced into the job.
A written workmanship warranty. Three years on structures, lifetime on fences, from a company that has been at the same shop on Airline Highway since 2017.
One project manager, start to finish. Same person from the walkthrough to the last sweep. Not a salesman who hands you off.
