Our yard is oddly shaped, although it has a fairly standard "L" shaped house (with a tired flagstone patio) but then goes back about 100 feet tapering into a point at the far end of the years. A good part of the area is grass that has seen better days and takes a lot of water. We have a big ugly hedge on one side that does block the view of the neighbors pool equipment and a couple of big, mature, pine trees on the other side. We really like the pine trees and didn't want to lose them. The yard is deep enough that we wanted a retreat/sanctuary way in the back but wanted a patio or low deck for entertaining too. We also thought of the traditional patio cover over a built in BBQ should fit somewhere in the mix and wanted to redo the yard with more plants and plant diversity (and with more drought tolerant plants). Ben measured the yard, took all of our ideas into account, and promised a design in a couple of weeks. Well, I thought that we would get the design and that would be the end of it. Nope, not how Ben works. To our pleasant surprise (and apparently the way he always does business), Ben came back up to the house a week or so later for a second session with the initial set of plans. Very cool. He captured the idea for entertaining just right with a great patio, built in BBQ with attached seating, and a great patio cover design. Around the corner from the patio he designed us a second entertainment area as a low deck that we can eventually put the jacuzzi next to (one of my late ideas). His design removed the hedge and replaced it with a layering of plants that will look a lot better but still block the view of the neighbors yard. Perhaps best of all, the design included a winding pathway to a third small patio that will be our private sanctuary area. He also put a small water fall and fountain back there that we really like. Oh, and the pine trees are still in the design and he picked both ground cover and plants that will do well in their shadow. So, overall, I am really pleased. The design he did for us really captured what we wanted. Ben has really great ideas and he was able to show us many of them in pictures because they are in real yards. He also has tremendous knowledge of the plants that make sense for our area (our plans identified all of the plant types). He is punctual, meticulous, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Ben Dickerson and Simple Elegance Landscape Design.

What more can I say. We are thrilled with our new backyard and covered patio. We bought a new house in the West Hills community in Valencia, and the backyard came unfinished (just dirt). We set out to get some bids for a patio, patio cover, driveway extensions, retaining wall, grass, and trees. Chris was the 3rd contractor we got a bid from, and we are so glad we talked with Chris. He is very organized. The execution of the job went very smoothly. He started when he said he would, he stuck with his prices, and even finished up a couple days early. He was able to juggle parts of the job around in order to wait for our fuel modification approval, and it still did not impact the delivery of the work. Chris is a very good listener, and was able to make recommendations on things that made sense for us. (For example, we have 3 boys who intend to use the grass to play on. He recommended grass that heals quickly, and placed the sprinklers around the edges so they wouldn't trip over them). We have had problems in the past with contractors that increased the prices on us after the job began, or would start, work a couple days, show up weeks later for a few days, etc. That did not even happen with Chris French. He always promptly returned phone calls, emails, was on site every day until the job finished. We are also very confident that we have all the correct permits for the work as well. I think what clinched the job for Chris was the fact that he didn't just give us a bid that said he would do exactly what we asked for. He worked with us to get to a plan that made sense, wouldn't cause problems 5 years from now, and could be built to the existing codes. When something didn't make sense, he would carefully explain why. We suggested leveling out one of our side yards and pouring all concrete. He explained why that would interfere with the drainage. We also suggested a large patio cover - 20 ft deep. He explained that our wall was at an angle to the property line, and we could not put a cover closer than 5 feet of the property line. This meant that the deepest the patio cover could be was 13 feet. We also asked about a vaulted patio cover. He explained that the windows on the wall where the patio cover would need to be attached would need to be moved, otherwise we couldn't get a pitch on the roof to match our house ( an HOA requirement). We had actually got bids from other contractors for these things! Interestingly enough, we did not explain to Chris that he was our third bid until after he finished our job. It was so clear once the job was done that the first two bids were garbage. What is very scary is that we could not tell they were garbage. The other contractors wanted us to sign contracts for work that would not have been possible to build. The diagrams were not drawn to scale, the patio covers would not have fit in the space in our backyard, and they did not even consider how the changes would impact the drainage. We feel very fortunate to have found a very good contractor.

Durand Builders did an excellent job building a wooden patio cover for us! Adam answered our inquiry in a timely manner then met with us to discuss details about the project. He went over and above to add details to the project that made it look great and repaired something that was found...
Avi was not only a nice guy to deal with when making the sale, he personally drove up from the valley to check on the job to make sure it was perfect and it was. They removed and replaced our old gutter in the front of the house, but added new gutters to our new patio cover. Great job,...

Ben Dickerson is plain and simple just great to work with. I was a bit slow after purchasing the Angie's list special and, to be honest, even after we scheduled the appointment with Ben, my wife and I had not really thought about what we wanted to do in the backyard. Well, turns out that...

"We just had our kitchen completely renovated by Beverly Builders Group, and we couldn't be happier with the end result! Lawrence was our contractor and he fully brought our vision to life!!! My family and I went out of the country while the kitchen renovations were done and Lawrence took care of everything for us. He was super easy to get in contact with when we needed him or had any questions. He honestly went above and beyond for us and I loved how transparent he was about the job along the way. I've worked with other contractors in the past that weren't so honest and it was such a nice experience this time around. Emily was our project coordinator and designer and kept us updated daily on what was happening. We were always in communication with her and she overlooked our shopping list of all appliances so nothing was missed on our installation dates. Their team was amazing and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants the best! We were so happy with them that our master bathroom"

"I'm so happy that I found David at CA Cabinets! He was here checking on the work daily to make sure everything ran smoothly which is rare for a contractor as usually they just come a few times during the process. Everything is beautiful and he went to extra mile to shop with me for the flooring tiles, quartz countertops, cabinets and sink. I'm super picky as an artist / former fashion designer and he was able to help me create exactly what I had designed. He had great ideas such as adding a waterfall edge to the quartz countertop and a window sill piece from quartz as well. This project was a complete gut and rebuild due to a dishwasher leak - homeowner's insurance claim. I was having issues with my insurance and David went above and beyond to help me navigate the insurance issues so we could complete the project. He is always very prompt and organized. Some of the other contractors that I had previously contacted could not even be bothered to give me a call back or show up on time to a scheduled appointment but David was able to meet with me right away and always notified me of the work schedules. Pricing was reasonable and in line with other estimates I received."

"It was just a closet.... one month later, it became the most beautiful bathroom in the house! I hired Bally's Builders for a bathroom addition in an extra bedroom in my house, which was previously an office. There was a pretty deep closet, but I never imagined that it could be enough space for a full bathroom. The work crew was fast, efficient and hardworking. Left my home spotless, and even helped with little extra details in the end. I'm in love with this bathroom! It's just gorgeous and modern, and more than what I hoped for."

FAQs for patio cover service projects in Agua Dulce, CA
While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
The cost of an awning is $1,400 to $4,400 on average. However, this cost could be as low as $100 or as high as $7,500, depending on a few factors. The type of awning you choose, the size you need, and your location all affect your overall cost.
For example, portable awnings you can put up and take down yourself range from $100 to $400, whereas motorized awnings are more luxurious and cost between $2,000 and $3,500.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
Besides the type of awning, you’ll need to choose the type of cover. Your awning installation professional will review your options with you, including availability and costs. The types of covers you can choose from include:
Wood, which is durable but can be damaged easily by rainwater and fire
Cotton offers flexibility, weatherproofing, and easy cleaning
Canvas is highly durable and is a good choice for retractable awnings
Metal is sturdy but is prone to rust
Polyester is easy to clean and is a more breathable option
Polycarbonate is highly resistant to UV rays and is difficult to damage
