Apollo Patios
Verified73 reviews
If I could give negative stars I would but unfortunately they are not available. Think twice and clarify what materials they use and what is covered under warranty. They use outsourced materials and don’t advise you of this until you contact them with your concerns - multiple emails phone calls only to be fobbed off with short staffed, passed… Read more
onto management, management negotiating with supplier etc. Very poor after service - if you can find an alternative to build your structure use them. Very disappointed customer
IT IS ILLEGAL. The patio quote was supplied without the all-important payment schedule - until I asked. 20% deposit, 70% material prior to delivery, 10% final. So they have 90% of the money before any work / materials delivered. I challenged the salesman Nick, was told "you don’t dictate how you want to pay. its our way or they someone else ". So it's someone else, too many horror stories.

Extremely Disappointed – Unprofessional Conduct and Poor Customer Service We engaged Apollo Patios to install a patio in our backyard in March/April. During the initial consultation, the salesperson discussed where power would be run for the lights and fans, and how the system would operate. We were told the process would take approximately eight… Read more
weeks to installation. However, shortly after, a second representative came to complete a check measure and advised—without us being present—that it would be better to conceal the power, resulting in a variation requiring additional payment. Although we were not home to understand the specifics, we trusted the professional advice provided and signed off on the recommendation.
Two weeks later, the patio was installed. Unfortunately, the electrical cabling was placed in a completely impractical location, with switches situated on the opposite side of the patio. When we raised this with Apollo, we were met with a shockingly rude and unprofessional response from their construction manager, who refused to accept any accountability. He claimed Apollo does not provide electrical advice—despite the fact that both the original salesperson and the second technician had discussed and altered electrical plans during their visits. This contradictory stance is unacceptable.
We trusted Apollo, as non-experts, to guide us through the build based on their knowledge and experience. Instead, we have been left with an illogical, inefficient setup—despite paying additional fees for what we believed was professional advice. Apollo has since attempted to shift all blame onto us, citing claims about double-storey complications that were never disclosed at any point. To add insult to injury, the salesperson later tried to deny a conversation that, upon checking our security footage, we confirmed did in fact take place exactly as we recalled.
This is our second time using Apollo, and we had intended to use them again in future. That will no longer happen. The level of unprofessionalism, deflection of responsibility, and sheer lack of product knowledge displayed by their team is staggering. Repeated requests for the director to contact us have been ignored, which speaks volumes about the company’s culture and values.
My advice to any prospective customer: do your research and avoid companies more focused on making a sale than delivering service. The experience has been frustrating, disappointing, and frankly disgraceful. Apollo Patios should be embarrassed by how this matter has been handled.
The 'A' team do it again – It is the third time and fourth job that the 'A' team Matt and Josh have done for me putting insulated panels on an existing patio, far cooler now than with the corrugated iron and also we were able to put some nice downlighting from the panels another perfect job from the boys, the purple wiring was put in at the construction stage making it very… Read more
easy for our electrician to do his job. the 'A' team always get every detail correct, every rivet in the right place and no skimping.

Special thanks to jaime, david, amanda, ben and his constuction team. Show details
Failure to Fix Defects – I had a patio built and since then water has not drained properly. They have the guttering going up hill to the downpipe. As a result, water ingress into the panels has occurred causing discolouration and mildew build up. I have followed this up with Apollo Patios on 5 occasions by email including to the company CEO and they have completely… Read more
ignored me. They have demonstrated that they will not honour their warranty against defects which is a breach of contract. It is very disappointing to experience this and I don't want others to go through the same experience. I am now investigating legal options. UPDATE: 6 months later after several social media posts, Apollo fixed the defect.

Deck construction – Have just had the best consumer experience with these guys. They were prompt, professional and a pleasure to do business with. They built a deck on the back of our house in only three and a half days, and it is exactly what we asked for. Highly recommend their services. Show details

Apollo Vic - so sad (maybe) they are gone but we got a good quality veranda – Quick Summary: Build Quality - Very Good. [5/5] Timing - very bad [2/5] Interaction with office - build coordinator - very bad. [0/5] The details: We commissioned Apollo to build a veranda in May 23; we wanted it ready by Aug 23 and were promised they would do everything in their power to achieve this. Bazinga 1 - I suspect they new the… Read more
permitting process would not allow us to achieve this. Bazinga 2 - permits were sent to the wrong council. I found this out asked for it to be corrected.
Bazinga 3 - The build coordinator lady was extremely rude - giving me what seemed like ultimatums (take it or leave it) for delivery of goods, coordination of build person, lying about days the delivery could be made. So much so - I asked not to deal with her.
In the end we got our veranda, [Nov 23] but the screens were not yet ready to be installed....why couldn't this have been better coordinated? Bazinga 4 - we were told we would get this after the summer shut down period. Summer came and went, I called the office, called again then was told they had shut their business.
One good thing - the gent who installed the veranda was brilliant. Meticulous, polite, cleaned up afterwards. I've have outdoor blinds sales people view the structure and all have been impressed. It is a shame they only did 90% of what we wanted.
How does this reflect on the broader Apollo business? Not sure.
Fly over patio January 2022 – We have just had finalisation of installation of a flyover patio to our existing patio, built by Apollo Southside Brisbane. We undertook quotes from multiple patio providers and found Apollo to be the most competitive. The first meeting with the sales agent was relaxed and no pressure. All options were presented to us, and we discussed through our… Read more
wants/needs and must haves with the sales agent. He was able to design a patio for us that met all our requirements and priced the patio competitively. The sales agent set expectations very clearly from the onset re: process of patio installation such as time frames for councils’ approval and supply chain. Communication was impeccable through out the process from the payment of our deposit, keeping us updated with application planning process and providing adequate notice for installation. Our installation days occurred smoothly without concern. Matt and the install team were incredibly professional and respectful when interacting with myself (as the client) and each other during the install process. Matt ensured he gained consent before entering our property each day. As the team leader for the installation, Matt displayed incredible leadership qualities with his team in his communication, demeanor, and work ethic. The teamwork exhibited by the boys and the collaborative work and communication displayed by the install team all, ensured a timely and safe installation. The install team we had are a definite asset to the Southside Brisbane Apollo site and greater Apollo company. The installation team left the site clean and tidy and the handover between Matt and myself at the completion of construction was professional and through. Matt answered all my questions with patience and kindness. Full disclosure, there has been an issue arise since installation pertaining to the location of the drainage from the patio connecting to the existing drainage on the house, that wasn’t observed until the most recent inclement weather. I raised these concerns with Apollo, and they addressed them professionally by escalating to the production department and National Construction manager. I’m awaiting an outcome of this; however, I am confident this will be addressed in a timely and professional manner as Apollo has demonstrated so far. I can not comment on long term wear and tear of the patio/ or claiming on warranty as installation was only completed January 28, 2022. What I can say is, we are thoroughly enjoying spending time out in our new patio.
Carport Build – If I am unhappy about anything I will certainly let someone know about it, { like lots of other people do }. However I believe in being fair, so if I am happy about something I will also let someone know about that as well { which not many other people do }. Apollo Additions quoted & built my new Carport. All the people from Apollo contacted me… Read more
when they said they would, turned up on time, were very efficient & they did a bloody good job, as well as cleaning up afterwards. I might also add that while Apollo were not the cheapest, however they were the best quote, compared to the other quotes & how they were going to build our Carport. I certainly appreciated dealing with Apollo Additions. I am also more than happy to recommend Apollo Additions to all of my family, friends, neighbours & anyone else who would like to deal with very proffesional people in everything that they do. I would also like to say that I am not related to anyone at Apollo & I did not receive any payment at all for this very good review. C U L8R Phil.

Not happy – We had an enclosed patio built in mid 2023. we have had a problem with 2 leak and had some one come a couple of times. but still not fixed.. now we have been told the business has closed down...happy no. Thankfully Shane, who use to work for Apollo came in his own time and fixed it, but an email I sent to Peter at Apollo has never been replied too. Show details
You must have had a good crew! Be very careful. If there is a problem communication is just not there! – The product is fantastic. Just check your plans more thoroughly and don't out your trust in the rep or the subbie erecting your expensive patio. Still waiting for the fix up. I have to try and forget about a lot of the problems. We had such a mess to clean up. Polystyrene everywhere, bits of metal etc. One representative did come out and… Read more
clean all the black hand marks left all over the underside of the roof. Listened to the problems and understood what they did wrong and tried to cover up. Still waiting for the repair to downpipe that the builder damaged (he did try to fix but worse, told them not to send him back to our house. He was so nice and he knew what i was talking about. I am still waiting for reply from 26th May?

Horrendous Customer Service - still waiting for sunroom – Jai the sales rep promised everything we wanted, turns out he couldn't really deliver and just got the sale and then we never heard from him again. Horrible taste in our mouth after he was badmouthing and being very disrespectful towards the office staff to us. Signed for an enclosed patio in September 2021, had the roof installed in January and… Read more
still waiting on the walls. Response to emails is very slow. Excuses on the phone like we'll call back at the end of the week - the call was on a Monday. Installer Ian dosn't respond to texts or emails in a timely fashion, if at all! No consultation in regards to delivery dates and times of materials arriving, just a text out of the blue saying when it's coming. (for the roof only) Asked for a white door, was promised by Jai that wouldn't be a problem, now being told we can have a timber door that we'll have to paint ourselves. Not the cheapest and not the most expensive company, definately some of the worst customer service from any Company I have ever received. Here's hoping it actually eventually gets finished and is good quality, otherwise a call to the ACCC or ombudsman might be in store.
Apollo patio is very clever don’t trust this company – Four times complaining about my carport, shaking, gutters stuck up, paint cracking, and storm pipe small water clogged and overflowing, and there excuse freedom patio is closed but they are the same company and still under warranty.
Don't stand by their warranty – The brackets holding my 8 year old pergola are rusted. This pergola was installed Sep 2013. Despite supplying the material, installing the material, requiring the material in order to hold and attach the pergola, it is in some way defined as not their product hence they fail to accept any responsibility for these obviously cheap and inferior products.

Difficult – I paid nearly $4,000.00 in deposit. Unfortunately permit was not approved by the Council and Apollo would only give me a couple of hundred dollars of my deposit back. They claim all the money was the work required in the planning process. Terrible, once they take your deposit, they wont give it back. Very unreasonable. Stay away! Show details
Great Patio – Just want to acknowledge the whole team that delivered our Flyover Patio and the professional way that it was installed plus the maintenance person that went above and beyond. We had specific criteria about not losing our bush vista and the solution that was devised has met all our requirements while still providing our decking with shade and… Read more
protection from the rain. I have already recommended Apollo to my neighbour as we were that impressed with the Company and the staff involved. The overall cost of the project was the best quote we received and I would certainly recommend getting a quote from Apollo Patios.
Didn't feel right – First phone call and the salesperson said we would have a 90 minute Teams meeting in their online "design space" prior to anyone attending our home to provide a quote. Also pushed a finance option with one of their 'partner financiers'. I just wanted someone to quote rebuilding our deck. Felt very dodgy - as soon as she could sense I wasn't interested she basically hung up on me. Be wary... Show details

Great patio and caravan Port – We had the quote done it was a good price so chose Apollo to do our patio and caravan Port. I would say the contact from Apollo waiting for a start date was not too good, we seemed to have to chase them. Start day came the builder Andrew was absolutely amazing the work he has done is truely so good. We could not be happier with what we have got. I would absolutely recommend people use Apollo the workmanship and the product is brilliant. Show details
Avoid this company – Rudest, laziest sales person I've ever dealt with. Promised to arrange install - never did. Spend your money elsewhere. Sales manager just as defensive and unapologetic. Stay away from this crowd.
Bad workmanship – Our patio leaked from day one when windows weren't sealed at all leaving noticeable gaps. Nothing was sealed properly including the roof. Whilst they fixed the windows, after our complaint, they seemed unable to deal with the roof. A privately arranged engineer's report indicated incorrect sealant used. After many attempts over four years we opted… Read more
to have it fixed privately as per the report and hey presto - no more leaks! I cannot recommend this company. They have good advertising but do not deliver.

Terrible service – We bought an Apollo patio 15 years ago. It was installed and leaked from the first day. Council knocked it back and had to be fixed. Recently tried to get repairs done, they came and measured up and then decided after 3 months that they weren't interested in repairing.
unproffessional – after coming and taking the measures twice , they found a problem with dimentions on the day of installation, they didn't want to take responsibility of that. On top of it , we agreed with the installer they sent ,to leave the metrials in our backyard as they will fix the issue, we found that , he later entered our backyard without our consent and… Read more
toke the materials out.I have children ,can't imagine what their reaction would be if they see a stranger at the back of our yard. I don't recommend them for any job.
Our perfect patio – Our decision to commission Apollo patios to design and erect our patio recently has proven to be the right decision, the quality of products used and the tradesman employed proved exceptional. We are only to happy to recommend Apollo patios Show details
New Outdoor Room – Apollo were professional from the Outdoor Room’s start to finish. The old structure had to be demolished and removed, this was done with a minimum of noise and disturbance while taking great care not to harm the existing house. The new structure was erected with great care and precision, the attention to detail was excellent. I complement the… Read more

I would recommend Apollo Patios to all that would listen.
Replacement patio roof after storm damage – No drama from the very beginning to the end. The consultant, Nick Brown, came to my house twice to give me different quotes. Very friendly and professional staff. I'm very happy with the replacement patio they did for me. I would highly recommend Apollo Patios to anyone. Show details
Exactly what we wanted- no more flooding – The sales rep came up with a plan to replace our patio roof, and get rid of all our previous problems. The resulting structure is working perfectly, especially with all the rain lately. The patio installer was excellent, and very helpful with some of the small jobs we had to do after the patio was completed. Would definitely recommend Apollo. Show details
Pathetic service and lies – Did a quote paid the deposit of almost 4K asked for more money paid extra 1k 9 weeks later still no plans - asked for a refund and 4 days later they are still trying to ‘work out’ how much to return Show details
Great Service !!! – I have recently had a patio roof installed by Apollo Patio’s and I was very impressed with all the staff that dealt with me – it is extremely hard to find any customer service these days & it seems to be getting worse, however, all of the staff that I dealt with were very respectful, polite, courteous and dutiful. Even though my job was only a small one, I received such great customer service, Thank you again, it has been really appreciated. Show details
Car Port – Just had our Car Port put in and it looks amazing. The 2 gentlemen that did our work, Daron and Kevin did an awesome job. They were punctual, courteous and thoughtful. Dealing with Apollo Patios was easy, never a hassle if I had a question or concern and when I needed to alter the roofing, also no hassle and easy to deal with. Great outcome that has added value to our home and created a "hail safe" area to house my daughter's car. Show details
Reliable Building Contractors – We first used Apollo in late 2017 when were completing stage one of our renovations for an awning over the rear out door living area, all dealings we had with Apollo during our renovations have been 100% perfect, from the quote being done on the day and time arranged to the materials being delivered on time as per contract, then the installer who… Read more
arrived on time as promised. The installation was completed and all rubbish removed. We used Apollo again in November/December 2020 to complete stage two with the exact same result, every aspect from quote to completion was totally flawless. All staff at Apollo are a pleasure to deal with, totally professional and honest. We will be using them again on the next renovation.
Outstanding product & Service! – We just finished our new driveway and were looking to install a large carport and pergola for our outdoor entertaining area. From the first phone call, Josh was very easy yet professional to deal with. Regardless of how many questions / quote variations we had, he was glad to explain in detail and gave us assurance our needs were being heard.… Read more
During the installation stage, again the team were very professional, neat and tidy in their approach and working to the highest standards. We couldn't be happier with the finished job. The quality and finish of the installation & materials are second to none and we are truly grateful for Josh and his team as our outdoor area has been transformed! We would highly reccomend Josh and the Apollo team!
Great patio done by Apollo Patios – We have been shopping for a while before we chose Apollo Patios. Great price with easy finance options. Very good quality, and excellent job done by them. No hassle from the very beginning to the end. The consultant, Nick Brown, came to my house several times to give me different quotes. Very friendly and very professional staffs. I'm very happy with the patio they did for me. I would highly recommend Apollo Patios to anyone. Show details
Carport - what a difference it has made – From quote stage to the finished job, no hassle at all, very professional all the way. Tradesman who put up the carport new exactly what he was doing, very confident and a person you could talk too and ask questions. All up in one day - great job. Would recommend Apollo to anyone.
