"Jessie kept us updated on his arrival. He wasn t fully prepared when he arrived, so there was a delay, but when he got started he worked diligently to complete the job quickly. He did a good job of cleaning the worksite afterwards."

"It went as great as it possibly could have if not better! The deck is a place we can relax every evening and is absolutely gorgeous! We get so many compliments on how beautiful it turned out. We have recommended MacHandy's services to all of our family and friends. The rooms they painted are just stunning. It is absolute perfection. I will definitely use MacHandy's for all of our remodeling and home repairs and even the add on to our home we are planning. Larry and his girlfriend work side by side and are just adorable. They established a personal relationship with us right off the bat. They addressed any issue that came up during the whole process and made sure they delivered exactly what we wanted."

Patio Covers questions, answered by experts

Clean regularly with mild soap and water, and retract during severe weather to prevent damage.

The longest-lasting awning materials include vinyl, polycarbonate, and polyester for their durability and cleanability. Other materials like canvas and metal can last a long time, but may wear out faster. The key to getting the longest life from your awning material is to maintain it properly by cleaning yearly, keeping debris from gathering on it, and protecting it during stormy weather or high winds by retracting it or moving it to a protected area.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the size and customization of the awning.

Hurricane fabric is a temporary form of hurricane protection that offers an alternative to boarding up windows or installing traditional storm panels. It is installed over windows, doors, and other openings before a storm. When installed properly, hurricane fabric is tested and proven to protect homes from Category 5 hurricanes, which can have winds over 157 miles per hour. It is intended to block the majority of wind and rain and protect against water, debris, and projectile damage. While the fabric is exceptionally durable, windows can still break if hit directly by high-velocity debris. Compared to other options, hurricane fabric is more protective than hurricane window film. Boarding up windows is more labor-intensive and requires storing heavy plywood, while hurricane screens are permanently attached to your home. To further increase protection, you can take additional steps like securing outdoor items and fortifying your home's foundation.

It’s best to opt for a lightweight roof, as a heavy roof adds a lot of weight and pressure to the support posts and hardware and destabilizes the structure. Vinyl is a good, lightweight option, as is a nice open trellis, louvered aluminum or vinyl slats, or fabric panels. Clear polycarbonate is another great option that offers seamless shelter and additional UV protection without completely obscuring the sunshine. You can also choose retractable coverings or an awning that you only use in wet weather or when you need additional shade.
