"They did an amazing job on my new porch. This was the only company that detailed the proposal so everything was in writing. Ross, the owner, was easy to communicate with and also provided clear communication on what he was doing. It’s a smaller business than the big porch companies in town but the craftsmanship was exceptional. I’m extremely happy with everything they did and will use them for other projects in the future."
"amazing. russ and his crew is amazing and thorough and honest. always upfront and professional and will never cut corners. also russ knows his limits and will be the first to admit this. the best contractor i have ever dealt with anywhere in the united states! i also had a 24 by 24 garage built and a fence for my dogs and they leveled a shed and cabin on my property and built a wood shed"
"From start to finish there was amazing communication, follow up, and service in general. Will hire them again and will spread the work. These guys were awesome!"
"David is wonderful. He did a terrific job on a house with many windows on various levels. I have recommended him to my neighbors and will use him again this coming summer."
A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.
A Florida room is a home addition that has finished walls with windows lining the perimeter, while a screened-in porch, also known as an Arizona room, lacks windows and instead has screens to maintain constant ventilation. Florida rooms provide longer enjoyment throughout the year because they’re closed off and will naturally get heated from the sun, while a screened-in porch will just be the same temperature as the ambient air.
How many square feet a sheet of plywood can cover depends on the size of the plywood sheet. A 4x8 sheet of plywood covers 32 square feet, while a 5x5 sheet of plywood covers 25 square feet. The cost to board up a window with plywood or install plywood under a new roof will depend on the total size of the area.
The average cost to enclose a patio to create a sunroom is around $5,000, and prices generally range from $3,000 up to $10,000. The price you pay will depend on the state of your patio and whether it needs repairs or additional structural support, the quality of the materials you choose, the size of your patio, and whether you plan to run utilities into and finish the sunroom. The price for a fully finished patio enclosure could run up to around $20,000, while you might pay just $2,500 for a screened-in porch.
Creating a screen room is one of the most cost-effective ways to enclose a patio so you can still use it in the winter. Most screen rooms aren’t insulated, so you’ll need to wrap up warm or use patio heaters in winter. Also, be aware they might not hold up well if you live in a location where heavy snow is common.
