Patio Design & Build
Custom stone, concrete, and paver patios designed around your specific DC rowhouse lot. Francisco maps your drainage and sun patterns before a single material is ordered.
Francisco personally walks every project in Petworth, Columbia Heights, Capitol Hill, and Silver Spring — and builds a design plan around your actual lot, your actual drainage, and your actual vision. No sales rep. No guesswork. No disappearing deposits.
Sound Familiar?
You've gotten quotes that never went anywhere. Contractors who showed up late, phoned it in, and sent a two-line proposal three weeks later that didn't reference anything you discussed. The backyard is still sitting exactly where it was — and DC's outdoor renovation season is already here.
Every spring, that same corner of the yard turns into standing water. You've watched two planting seasons drown. The fence post on the left side is starting to lean. You know a French drain would fix it — you just haven't found anyone who'll actually scope it right.
You've gotten three quotes. The first never sent an estimate. The second came in at $41K with no line items and went silent when you asked for clarification. The third sent a generic proposal with the wrong address on it. You're not cheap — you just need information you can actually make a decision from.
The interior is done. The kitchen, the floors, the fixtures — all of it reflects who you are. The backyard is still original construction from when you bought. The gap between those two facts bothers you more than you admit out loud.
The kids are 6 and 9. The window where they'll actually run around in a backyard and care is closing faster than you want to think about. Every summer you watch it from inside because there's nothing ready out there to use.
What We Build
From drainage that doesn't work to a finished outdoor room you're proud to show off — Amigos handles every element of the project from first site visit to final walkthrough.
Custom stone, concrete, and paver patios designed around your specific DC rowhouse lot. Francisco maps your drainage and sun patterns before a single material is ordered.
French drains, site grading, and drainage fixes that permanently solve the flooding problem before any patio goes in. The right fix done once.
Fire pit design and installation that turns your backyard into an after-8pm destination. Makes the space usable 9 months of the year in the DC climate.
Outdoor lighting systems that extend the usable hours of your outdoor space and add serious curb appeal and security to your DC property.
Synthetic turf or fresh sod installation that solves the mud problem permanently — important for families with kids and dogs in below-grade DC yards.
Deck construction, fence installation and repair, and patio covers — the structural elements that define your outdoor living space and give you privacy in dense DC neighborhoods.
The small-lot urban backyard is exactly the work most regional companies don't want — they're set up for big suburban installs. Amigos has spent years solving the specific challenges of DC's Columbia Heights, Petworth, Brookland, and Capitol Hill lots.
How It Works
No surprises. No disappearing mid-job. Just a straightforward process that's been refined across dozens of DC rowhouse projects.
Francisco personally walks your yard. He maps drainage, sun exposure, and your constraints — then listens to what you actually want. No pitch. No clock. No money changes hands.
Within 5 business days you receive a line-item proposal with photo references from comparable DC projects. Three scope options so you can match budget to vision without guessing.
Deposit structure: 30% to start, 40% at materials delivery, 30% at completion. You know your start date before anything is signed. Francisco and his crew show up when they say they will.
Francisco walks every completed project with you before collecting the final payment. If anything isn't right, it gets fixed before you write the last check. That's the guarantee.
From DC Homeowners
Francisco has great vision and executes exactly what was promised. He walked our entire backyard, identified a drainage issue we didn't even know was causing the problem, and fixed it before laying a single paver. The finished patio looks like it belongs to a house twice the price.
We'd gotten two other quotes that went nowhere. Francisco was the first contractor who actually showed up, asked the right questions, and sent a proposal that made sense. Reasonably priced for DC and the work was exactly what we asked for. He showed up when he said he would — which alone was worth the price.
Seven years in this house and the backyard looked abandoned. Francisco transformed it in three weeks — drainage fix, new patio, fence repair. He promised he'd be back in April and showed up in late March. The detail-oriented work is what set him apart from everyone else we'd spoken to.
