"I hired Sam and his team to redo my driveway and sidewalk.
The team arrived on time and did the prep work very quickly.
The cost was actually lower than I expected.
Later, I needed some minor landscaping work done and they came out and finished that job within a few hours.
All the employees that was on site were friendly and professional.
I will use Sam and California Concrete Design for future work."
"The crew showed up and staked out the walkway from patio to gate, the following day they poured cement and they were done. Cleaned up. A really great deal for the price"
"Great company! From start to finish, Venturi was very professional and walked me through every step of the process. Will definitely hire Jesse and his crew for any other landscaping job that I may have in the future."
"Bobby, was extremely trustworthy and did great work. He showed up when he said he would and made sure everything turned out great. I would definitely hire him again. He also did work for two of my neighbors."
"As a new home owner I knew nothing about landscaping but knew we really wanted to upgrade our outdoor space to accommodate guest. We found Stangby designs by chance on Instagram. I told Josh what I had in mind, let’s just say they absolutely blew me away with the professionalism, positive attitude, and work ethic. Stangby designs did excellent! Work on my landscaping it made my wife’s day, and the best part I didn’t have to lift a finger."
"Very professional. Completed the job in two weeks. The deliverables were as promised. They were very independent, requiring only minimal involvement from the client. However, communication with the owner could be enhanced a bit."
If you want to hire a professional to build a screened-in porch, a local sunroom or porch contractor is your best bet. If you can't find a local sunroom builder, another option is to consider hiring a general contractor to perform the work.
If you're handy, you may consider building the porch yourself. Before you do so, make sure you understand the local permit requirements and building codes so that you don't have any problems with the safety or structure of the porch.
A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home.
While there is no one size that’s considered best, the sunroom size that’s best for you will come down to the size of your home and how you want to use your sunroom. Smaller sunrooms under 120 square feet provide a nice semi-outdoor sitting area, medium-sized sunrooms between 120 and 200 square feet can house an outdoor dining area and a small area for additional seating, and large sunrooms over 200 square feet can serve multiple purposes and even include an outdoor kitchen.
A sunroom offers an additional indoor space to rest, dine, or host guests, all while inviting in as much sun as possible. Either built like an enclosed porch or a fully insulated home extension, a sunroom features floor-to-ceiling windows or screens that create an open, bright design while still remaining protected from the elements and bugs.
The life span of your solarium will depend on the materials used and how much wear and tear the room experiences from the inside and from the outside due to weather. On average, you can expect your solarium to last anywhere from 10 years to 50 or more. In rare cases, such as with old estates, solariums can last over 100 years.
