Custom Patio Construction in Indio
A professionally designed patio serves as the foundation of any outdoor living space. Our Indio patio construction services create durable, beautiful surfaces that withstand the Coachella Valley’s intense summer heat and provide comfortable gathering spaces year-round.
We work with a variety of materials suited to the desert environment, including stamped concrete, pavers, flagstone, and travertine.

Our team handles every aspect of patio installation, from site preparation and grading to final sealing and finishing.

Outdoor Kitchens Built for Desert Living
Outdoor kitchens have become a must-have feature for Coachella Valley homeowners. An outdoor kitchen allows you to prepare meals, entertain guests, and enjoy the desert evening air without constantly running between your indoor kitchen and backyard.
Our outdoor kitchen designs for Indio homes include built-in grills, side burners, refrigeration, sinks, and storage. We construct durable frames and countertops using materials that resist heat, moisture, and the desert sun. Popular options include stucco-finished frames with granite or tile countertops that match your home’s exterior.
We also design and build custom BBQ islands, which provide a complete cooking and serving station in a compact footprint. A BBQ island can include everything from a high-end grill to kegerators, making it the centerpiece of your outdoor entertainment area. Many homeowners pair their outdoor kitchen project with an interior kitchen remodel to create a seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining experience.

Pergolas and Shade Structures for the Coachella Valley
Shade is essential for comfortable outdoor living in the Coachella Valley. Our pergolas and patio covers provide relief from direct sun while maintaining airflow and visibility. We design shade structures that integrate with your home’s architecture and enhance the usability of your patio or outdoor kitchen.
Options include traditional wood pergolas, modern aluminum structures, and solid patio covers with ceiling fans and lighting. Many Indio homeowners choose lattice-style pergolas that filter sunlight while supporting climbing plants like bougainvillea. Others prefer solid roof extensions that provide complete shade and weather protection.
Our team installs freestanding and attached shade structures, ensuring proper anchoring and load-bearing capacity for the Coachella Valley’s occasional high winds.
Hardscaping Services Throughout the Coachella Valley
Hardscaping forms the structural backbone of your outdoor living area. This includes retaining walls, walkways, driveways, fire pit surrounds, and decorative stonework. Quality hardscaping adds visual interest, defines outdoor rooms, and solves practical issues like drainage and erosion.
Our hardscaping services in Indio and surrounding areas include:
- Retaining walls – Terracing sloped yards and creating level outdoor spaces
- Walkways and pathways – Connecting your patio, pool, and garden areas
- Decorative stonework – Adding natural stone accents and borders
- Drainage solutions – Directing water away from structures and patios
- Driveway installation – Concrete, pavers, and decorative surfaces
We select materials that complement the desert landscape and require minimal maintenance in the dry Coachella Valley climate.
Fire Features for Indio Outdoor Spaces
Fire pits and fireplaces extend the usability of your outdoor living space into the cooler evening hours. A fire feature creates a natural gathering point and adds ambiance to your backyard environment.
We design and build custom fire pits, fire tables, and outdoor fireplaces using materials that withstand high heat and complement your patio design. Options range from rustic stone fire pits to sleek modern gas fire tables. Many Indio homeowners choose propane or natural gas fire features for convenience and clean burning.
Our fire pit installations include proper gas line connections (where applicable), safe clearances, and ventilation to ensure years of enjoyment.
Pool Deck Remodeling in the Coachella Valley
Your pool deck is one of the most-used outdoor surfaces in the desert. We resurface and remodel pool decks throughout Indio and the Coachella Valley, creating safer, more attractive, and more comfortable surfaces around your pool.
Our pool deck services include:
- Cool deck coatings – Reducing surface temperature for barefoot comfort
- Paver overlays – Upgrading concrete decks with durable pavers
- Coping replacement – Refreshing the edge detail around your pool

RatingNestor is incredibly reliable, honest and professional. He has an eagle eye for detail and is gifted at managing expectations. He is responsive, patient, ON TIME AND UNDER BUDGET. These traits are as rare in the Coachella Valley as a Unicorn. His quotes are by far the most accurate and reasonable and he brings only the best. Have used him multiple times at multiple homes and I highly recommend NRG. If you can get Nestor, you will never need or want to hire another contractor!
Nestor and his team at NRG Property Services did an amazing job remodeling my home. They worked together with my architect to add a new kitchen , guest suite and increase the size of my master bedroom and add a poolside patio. Additionally, we gutted all existing spaces to modernize the electrical and fixtures. I couldn’t have been happier. They stuck to the time schedule and communicated well. Their work was top notch and I am extremely satisfied with it. I could t have asked for a better team.
Nestor and his crew executed our extensive remodel in Rancho Mirage. The work is of excellent quality and done within the budget, except for change orders that were necessary when the structure was opened up. He and his crew are trustworthy, respectful of one’s property and always attentive to details. I will, and have, recommended NRG to others who are dealing with remodels and other residential construction projects of their own.
Amazing! Great quality, fair price and easy to work with. I had Nestor and his team remodel my ENTIRE home. Kitchen, 3 bedrooms & 3 baths. I own my own business and am a type A personality. I give my clients the best and I expect the same from whoever i give my business to.Not only was the price fair but the quality is amazing. I saw his team on their hands and knees with glasses on looking at the baseboards to make sure they were done right. It was done on time too! We asked if they could make changes or do additions and those requests were met with a sure! They were always happy and that's super helpful.It's very stressful to remodel your home but Nestor has an ability to be calm, get things done and was able to keep the mood light.Honestly, if you are looking for someone to do a project for you. Do yourself a favor and contact Nestor. It was the best decision I made.
The BEST. Do not hesitate to hire NRG for your project! Nestor and his team are professional, honest, communicative and do quality work. We had a remodel that involved turning a bar and walk-in closet into a den/bedroom/office space. Nestor's vision and solution-oriented plan gave us a space that exceeded expectations- he was able to give us ceiling height, unexpected details and incorporate some challenging antique doors into the room. NRG removed ancient wallpaper, retextured walls to match and painted our entire home, installed skylights, entry doors, electrical... all with an attention to detail and quick fixes when needed. Nestor is also kind of hilarious and a pleasure to work with! Again...the BEST.
I actually had a new room added to my house with Nestor and Com .. Professionalism at its best .. Would recommend him 100% …
I highly recommend NRG Properties for your remodeling.I had seen Nestors work at my friends home and definitely wanted to use his services. I needed my masterbath remodeled which entailed removing old shower and tub, moving a wall, adding a pony wall,dry walling, refinishing cabinets, removing and replacing new tile floors and then putting in a large spa shower, toilet, and bathroom fixtures & lights. My laundry also received a redo with refinished & stained cabinets, new sink, and drywall. Nestor was a great help in my decision process and his team of professional craftsman were great. They were all experienced tradesmen, polite, and made sure the work area was always clean & tidy when they left for the day.I love my beautiful new bathroom spa and updated laundry. Ask Nestor for pictures of his work and give him the opportunity to help you bring your vision to reality. Cindi, Palm Desert
Nestor and his crew were fabulous to work with. The were considerate and neat, respectful of my home. It was a stressful situation as my bathroom flooded. They gave me an estimate which they stuck too and consulted on all purchases I had to make. I would definitely recommend Nestor and will use them again.
The finished product turned out great. The only downside was that Nestor originally underestimated the amount of time it would take to complete. It went quite a bit longer. However, he made no excuses. Throughout the project he was honest and straight-forward with us. His level of customer service and concern for our satisfaction was unsurpassed and more than made up for the extra time. I've worked with many contractors on various projects over the years. This is the first time that I still have positive feelings about one after everything's done. I'd hire him again in a minute!
I would certainly use NRG again. The work was done to a high quality and if there were any issues, they were dealt with on a timely basis. Hector made himself available when needed and was a pleasure to deal with.
NRG Property Services is the best contractor we have ever used. Nestor personally answers his phone and always shows up on time. He completely remodeled 2 bathrooms for us, moved electrical, put up shade cloth and outdoor lights and so much more. We are so pleased and will recommend him to all our friends
Nestor and his crew are simply said, AWESOME. They have done such a professional job at our home I can’t recommend them enough. They should get 10 stars. All his crew are pleasant and skilled. Everyone comes on time and leaves each day with the job cleaned up. I have and will continue to recommend him and his company to anyone in need of the services he provides. He is a licensed contractor with all the crew to get your job done. He is the best.
NRG Property Services, Inc is an outstanding general contractor. Their team shows up on time, courteous, and work consistently until the job is done. They go above and beyond to ensure the job is done right, on schedule, and deliver a quality product. I'm extremely pleased with their work and highly recommend them. Will definitely work them again in the future.
Very happy with services provided by Nestor & his crew. They did a beautiful job of remodeling my two bathrooms.
NRG recently completed a major renovation to our new home in La Quinta. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and their ability to handle difficult and complex construction challenges was exceptional. With our primary residence being on the East Coast, NRG’s communication process using phone and photos and even diagrams via email, made us feel as if we were on site managing the day to day process. The work was completed on schedule in spite of numerous owner initiated changes. It is without hesitation that I provide them with my highest recommendation. Cal Schluter
