"From a firm handshake at our first meeting, to a last, firm handshake after the job was done, I was impressed by Les and his crew. He (Les) gave me a price, gave me a time-frame, and lived up to both. A great team to do business with. The crew was excellent. They began the project at 10 am, and were done, cleaned-up, and gone before 3pm. The difference between our old, wood rotted patio cover and this new one are startling. We've probably added twice as much to the value of our home, as it cost us to replace the old one. Great work, good people, timely results. THANK YOU WESTERN SKY"
"Kurt Robinson and his foremen Jim and Cody were JUST GREAT to work with! All of these men were VERY communicative and kept their appointments or called ahead with changes. Kurt met with us and showed us pictures of what to expect and actually guaranteed our pricing. He said if they ran into a "snag," that was on them. He kept his word! That was SUPER important to us on a tight budget! NO financial surprises! And the finished product is beautiful. NOTE: We wanted an aluminum enclosed patio with sliding windows and screens to be used as a sunroom. You can choose from 2 inches or 4-inches of insulated walls, depending on your targeted price. Wood-construction estimates were crazy expensive, and we just wanted an enclosed sunroom-patio. So for us, these guys really beat the competition hands down! And Kurt will show you pictures of exactly what you want AHEAD of time, so there's no negative surprises. We HIGHLY recommend them!"
"Michael Ridgeway was wonderful to work with because he listened to how I wanted the gate to be finished so it would be structurally strong. I would hire him again without any question. Michaels helper that worked along with him worked very hard. I really appreciate their work ethics. Thank you so much Michael and Tommy! Sherie"
"I needed a modification on my patio cover with custom gutter installation. Vincent was reliable, efficient, personable, and charged a reasonable price. He was easy to communicate with and understood immediately what we wanted. He totally solved our patio waterfall flooding during rainstorms problems that several other workmen were unable to fix. We're very happy with his work!"
"From the time of quote for our patio cover to completion, from the owner to the installers, they answered every question, were punctual and did a beautiful patio! They were reasonable, honored the 100.00 coupon from Angies list, even though I had forgot to tell him during the quote! Honest company and very good work!"
"I've been a Designer, product Developer, as well as a general contractor for 30 years, and I'm hyper aware of all the details around Design & Construction standards. With that understanding between parties, the staff at California Sunrooms were more than willing to accept my structural details as well as interpreting my conceptual elevation drawings. I have designed many redwood patio covers, and of course they always present well. I chose aluminum because of cost, value, longevity, and ease of installation. For what we paid for the entity of the aluminum patio cover would have equated to just the materials of redwood. California Sunroom Installers we're prompted courteous, and clean. I appreciated the crews knowledge of the product. They took valuable time to explain what they were doing when I had a question, and I had many. Their attention to detail was impressive. The Patio cover exceeded my expectations. I was in awe really. Thank you so much California Sunrooms! We love our new Patio Cover!"
Awnings can be a serious investment for homeowners, particularly if it features a motorized and retractable design. Protect the exterior of your home by choosing a reliable and reputable contractor. Do some research ahead of time to get an idea of the potential contractor’s strengths and weaknesses. Don’t hesitate to give them a call to discuss specifics.
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.
The average cost to build a pergola ranges from $2,200 to $6,400, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from $1,400 to $4,400, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.
Fascia and soffits differ 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.
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
