Testimonials
I worked with the owner Michael Zook and his team when purchasing my twenty foot by sixteen foot red cedar pavilion. During every step of the process Michael and his team were in contact with me. I had some special requests which Michael handled personally. I ended up with a beautiful pavilion. I would highly recommend THE BACKYARD SHOWCASE.
We had a pavilion made. They did a great job. Very efficient. Great attention to detail.
After visiting their showroom, we ordered a 14’x14′ cedar open gable pavilion with copper metal roof and 7″ posts. I was originally going to assemble it myself, but their white-glove service was reasonably priced so we got it. BYS was able to push up their schedule and arrive a week early to accommodate the other construction going on. The three-man crew put up the pavilion in a half of a day. It looks great! The smell of cedar is wonderful. The entire process was extremely friendly, easy, and with no pressure. I will recommend them to friends.
We had a beautiful pergola built this spring and we couldn’t be happier. It turned out better than we expected and they went above and beyond to deliver on schedule. Awesome company to work with.
We used Mervin and the Backyard Showcase team on a project in Ticonderoga, NY. The purchase and design process went smoothly even with last minute stain color changes. The pavilion was delivered on schedule, and there was a high level of communication thru ought. They’re an excellent group to deal with, definitely recommend them.
An excellent experience from start to finish. Went to the showroom in PA and Mervin spent considerable time showing me the different products, options, etc. He was extremely helpful. Ended up selecting the 10×14 Grand Escape with the Rough Sawn Western Red Cedar. Since I had to get county approval, they worked with me and my schedule. The installation went smoothly and quickly! The pavilion is well built and looks great – worth every penny! Highly recommend Backyard Showcase.
We had a great experience!!! Michael was very helpful and dealt with my indecisiveness and was extremely helpful !!! We are very happy with the quality and delivery of our pavilion! We have definitely been recommending to our friends!
Got my gazebo today, I love it, just what I requested to the last nail. It is fantastic, delivery was great and professional to a T. Will recommend Backyard Showcase, you wouldn’t be disappointed.
Thank you Backyard Showcase for my gazebo, would give 10 Stars if I can.
Michael and Marvin do 1st class work. But more importantly, they are 1st class humans. We had a large, difficult job and they were able to beat competitor pricing by 70% and work with us through the challenges of a very custom project. We look forward to buying from them again – The Backyard Showcase will be our life-long partner for all things ‘backyard’ 🙂
We just had a fantastic experience with Backyard Showcase. We ordered a 16×16 cedar pavilion with a metal roof and it was everything they promised in the pictures and more. The structure is beautiful, exactly as quoted, and they constructed it in just a day and a half. The foreman and his assistant were friendly and hard working. The pavilion really makes our space and I would highly recommend this company to anyone.
The team at Backyard Showcase were excellent, we had a 32’x20’ pavilion delivered and installed on our property. Michael and Mervin were great to work with from the design stage until the final shingle was installed. The support and workmanship is second to none, it has been a pleasure to deal with them.
