Q: What questions should I ask when hiring a pro to install an outdoor awning?

• <div><p>To make sure the installation process goes smoothly, try asking your pro the following questions: </p><ul><li><p>Do you have insurance and a professional license to do the job? Installing a metal or canvas awning into a home&rsquo;s exterior can be tricky, so ask your pro if they have the correct licensing and insurance to do the work. </p></li><li><p>What was the price of similar jobs in the past? Awning installation costs will vary depending on size, design, location, and other factors. Ask this question to get a feel for the average price range for jobs similar to yours.</p></li><li><p>How long will this project take to complete? Installing an awning is typically not too time-consuming, but hurdles can always present themselves. Gathering an estimated timeline could give you some peace of mind. </p></li><li><p>Will I need to get a building permit? Your local contractor will be well-versed in rules and regulations regarding building permits and other requirements to bring a project up to code. A seasoned pro will be able to furnish this information when discussing the quote.</p></li><li><p>Do you have any references from previous clients? A competent pro should readily hand out contact information for previous clients. Email or call these clients to hear about their overall experience. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can awnings handle heavy rain?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to allow heavy rain to fall on your awning, as puddling can occur and overload the awning. Your awning should be able to handle a light rain, though you should allow it to dry out before retracting it or open it to dry as soon as the rain stops. As always, consult manufacturer guidelines for using and caring for your awning.</p></div>

Q: What is the least expensive way to enclose a porch?

• <div><p>The least expensive way to enclose a porch is with screens. These protect the room by preventing insects from entering and, if you live in a warm climate, provide excellent airflow during hot summer months. Screens cost far less than any other alternative, so if you are against getting permits, spending too much, or enclosing your porch in walls or glass, screens are the best choice. </p></div>

Q: Do awnings come with warranties?

• <div><p>Yes, most awnings include warranties for materials and installation. Confirm terms before purchasing.</p></div>

Q: What are the alternatives to soffits?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/soffit-vs-fascia.htm">Fascia and soffits differ</a> in their location and design, but fascia vents are the most popular alternative to soffits. These are a bit more hidden than soffits, but depending on the structure of your roof, they can cost more to install and maintain. They are also installed around the entire roof, whereas soffits can be placed only where you need them or, if the aesthetics bother you, somewhere out of sight. </p></div>

I needed my gutters replaced and some added due to a home remodel. I heard the ad for Liberty Gutters and Covers on WAXC-TV and then watched Anthony Thorn's interview on "The Front Porch." He was as nice and professional in person as he was on TV. He gave me a prompt and thorough...

Overall, the job went very well. They were punctual and professional with their work. WE are very pleased with the patio and would recommend them. The owner. Randy, could be better organized, but this was not an issue with the job.
