"We first hired Michael's Complete Home Maintenance to repair a wood-rotten out bow window in our home. We got several estimates, had checked with Home Advisor, and spoke with Michael. His knowledge on how to fix it without having to replace the whole thing was impressive and his price bid very reasonable, so we went with him. Good Decision!!! His workers were courteous, professional, and skilled. The result was wonderful - better than the original window. Next we had him do repairs on the house: replace worn out parts of the house. Again: great job and very reasonable price. Next we had them paint the whole house. Fantastic job! Not only does he do all the work that was promised, he also would fix those things we hadn't even noticed initially. Currently, he’s working on putting up a new wooden privacy fence with gates on the sides and front, with a chainlink fence with gate at the back of our backyard, exactly as we had envisioned it. We have dogs, so do the neighbors. Michael factored this in perfectly while working on the fence, replacing just one section at a time. He’s also constructed the fence out of single planks of treated wood, which each are hung using screws. Then will treat the wood again to protect it. That fence will likely outlive me, it’s so solid! His crew was beyond courteous - they even helped me carry in groceries. I am just so thankful for the wonderful results of his labor and feel blessed that we have found someone as professional and HONEST as Michael Miller. We won't use anyone else to do projects around our house, since Michael does it all. I can, with confidence, recommend him to anyone I know to do all their repair works - I know the job will be done right."

Patio Covers questions, answered by experts

To ensure the installation process goes smoothly, it's wise to ask a potential pro several questions. Key topics to cover include:

  • Licensing and Insurance: Do you have a professional license and insurance to perform this work? This is crucial as installing an awning into a home's exterior can be a complex job.

  • Cost Estimate: What was the price of similar jobs you've completed? Awning installation costs can vary based on size, design, and location, so this helps establish a general price range.

  • Project Timeline: How long will this project take to complete? Getting an estimated timeline provides peace of mind, even though unforeseen hurdles can occur.

  • Building Permits: Will I need a building permit for this project, and who is responsible for obtaining it? An experienced local contractor will be knowledgeable about local rules and regulations.

  • References and Portfolio: Do you have references from previous clients or photos of completed projects? Speaking with past clients and seeing previous work can give you insight into their experience and the quality of their work.

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.

There are many ways to mitigate wind damage. Some of the most common methods include installing storm windows and doors and wind-rated garage doors. When you get a wind mitigation inspection, the inspector will also assess the condition and shape of your roof to see how well it will withstand strong winds.

While brick is sturdy and aesthetically pleasing, it’s also an expensive siding material. Other great siding options to consider include vinyl siding, wood siding, and fiber cement siding. Vinyl siding is likely to be the most affordable option, but wood siding can create a rustic aesthetic, and fiber cement is one of the lowest-maintenance siding options available.

Hurricane fabric is a temporary form of hurricane protection that offers an alternative to boarding up windows or installing traditional storm panels. Unlike hurricane screens, which are permanently attached to your home, hurricane fabric is installed over your windows and other openings before a storm.

In terms of effectiveness, hurricane fabric is tested and proven to protect homes from Category 5 hurricanes, which can have winds over 157 miles per hour. When installed properly, it is designed 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 flying debris at high velocity. However, it is a good protective measure against an impending storm. For comparison, hurricane fabric is more protective and durable than hurricane window film. While boarding up windows is easier than installing the fabric, it is more labor-intensive and requires storing heavy plywood.

To further increase the chances of your windows surviving a hurricane, you can take additional steps like securing outdoor items, elevating HVAC units, and fortifying your home's foundation.
