"Dave was very professional, contacted me to let me know exactly when he and one other fellow were due to arrive, which I appreciated.  I have solar screens which fit over each window, this meant they had to unfasten each screen to remove them to wash
the outside of the windows, then they had to carefully refasten each screen to make sure they were securely replaced which added time to the process.  Regardless, I was impressed that they completed my entire two story house within a couple of hours. 
I signed up for the Angie's List Deal for $149.00 which covered 20 windows.  I have California style sliding windows so the
left and right side of each window counts as two windows, plus I have a small window that runs the width of the larger lower window,
this was counted as one window.  Dave worked with me on the price of the additional windows in my house the total of which well exceeded the 20 windows allowed in the deal.  His willingness to work with me (since this was my first time using their service) and the great job they did will definitely earn them my repeat business."

"Shem and his team were fantastic. They installed a very custom outdoor motorized screen in my new backyard entertaining area. They were able to recommend the right manufacturer and the installation was absolutely perfect. In addition, they were polite, reliable, friendly, competent, and overall very professional. I am very happy that I found Home Living Window Fashions. I can't say enough good things about them!"

"Very pleased with the overall result. Took much longer than communicated originally (8 weeks versus the 3 weeks quoted). Very good quality but we could not always be sure when they would show up for the next stage of our job, which meant we often stayed home expecting then to be on site, only to find out they they had not completed work at another site. Probably due to the fact that they do good work and are in demand.. and also that our project was quite complex with several stages. Make sure that your design plan is accurate and not subject to interpretation. The scale on our plan was subject to interpretation which caused us some issues. Fortunately, these were addressed to our satisfaction."

"Went great. He works in an efficient and tidy fashion, and takes time to share his knowledge of the job so I feel I understand the work needed much more clearly than I had when I called him. He found more rust than either of us had hoped but we were able to create a clear maintenance plan that I can do myself for the future, and he encouraged me to see that I can defer the big job of replacing a metal kick plate railing instead of worrying right away."

Patio Covers questions, answered by experts

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.

It’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.

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.

There are many materials to choose from, including picket fencing, wood slats, galvanized metal skirting, dog-ear fence panels, scallop wood fence panels, bamboo screens, and other decorative screens. You can search for materials at local big box stores like Home Depot or scour online home improvement sites. Good search terms to use are fencing, skirting, and privacy panels.

Awnings offer a number of benefits, including:

  • Reduced summer home cooling costs with lower solar heat gains

  • Protection from sun, rain, and snow damage

  • Increased curb appeal for your home

Keep in mind that awnings also have drawbacks, including the potential to reduce your view, block natural light, and create new occasional home maintenance needs.
