"Couldn't be more pleased. Enrique responded to my initial inquiry the day I sent it to Angi. He was at my home the next day to preview the work I needed, submitted his proposal within a few hours, and completed the work within a week. The stair railing is exactly how he described it to me and I am completely satisfied with the workmanship. I would definitely recommend Live Oak General Builder, Inc."
"Moses and his crew came out and replaced some porch railings that had rotted away. The work was beautifully done and the railings are very sturdy. I am very happy with the work. Definitely worth the price."
"I needed someone to install an Andersen sliding glass door and I contacted Sobi. He responded to my text right away and called me. He scheduled an appointment for the same week to look at the project and give me a bid. He did the work within a week of the bid and kept me updated on schedule and arrival by texts. Sobi and his assistant, Guillermo were friendly and professional, their work was perfect and the attention to detail was as if it was their own home. I am so happy to be able to recommend Sobi / Select Craftsmanship for any project and I will definitely use him again."
"Our landscaping in Menlo Park needed a complete refresh. The team replaced thirsty plants with drought-tolerant options that still provide plenty of color and curb appeal. We're using much less water without sacrificing appearance."
"I hired Aleks to remodel a closet, replace light fixtures, install new recessed lights, install new gutters and install dimmers. Aleks called right after I logged on to Home Advisor and came out the same day to see the projects. He recommended a few things that I had not thought of and they were great ideas. Aleks was easy to communicate with and arrived a few days later to complete the work, right on time. I would hire him again."
"Rick Wilson, the companyâ s head, did the work himself. He was meticulous, highly skilled, and responsive to our concerns. The repairs to our badly damaged sleigh bed were perfectly executed and the bed is now far stronger than when it was brand new. Everything was completed within 24 hours. Top notch."
"Gabriel did a great job for me . From the very beginning he knows exactly what I wanted and i couldn't ask for something better then what he did for me . Definitely recommend"
"Michael and team did such an amazing job on our bathroom remodel. They took our tiny, dysfunctional bathroom and turned it into a true master bathroom oasis in a short amount of time during the holiday season. When they had the space down to the studs, Michael sat down with us and discussed in detail the best possible use of the space and we couldn’t be happier with our final decision after going through the options. Michael was great at communicating and we still stay in touch to this day, which we truly appreciate. Great team who does great work and I will absolutely be giving Waters Construction a call for any and all future home renovations. I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking."
"Jonathan built a trellis in our backyard and was able to save the vine while also building a trellis that is sturdy and will be long lasting. He had great suggestions on how to build the trellis so it won't rot. His communication is great and the quality of his work is top notch. I appreciate the value of his work and wouldn't hesitate to hire him for other projects."
"Our home was built in the 1960s and was in serious need of a bathroom remodel. Norcal pro construction helped me to create a design that maximize the bathroom space. I went from an outdated bathroom to a luxury bathroom."
Yes, many gazebos are permanent structures built onto the land. However, if you have a portable gazebo that isn’t secured to the ground, you’ll want to check the manufacturer’s instructions to understand when to put it away. Generally speaking, when it’s particularly windy or wet outside, you should take down your temporary gazebo.
The main purpose of a gazebo is to provide a covered space for people to gather comfortably. They’re an excellent place for summertime get-togethers because the roof protects you and your guests from the sun. However, gazebos can also serve as a design feature, adding a bit of charm to a backyard or garden.
Clean regularly, seal wood surfaces, and inspect for damage or rust to ensure longevity and safety.
On average, building or installing a gazebo costs around $5,700, with a typical range between $3,000 and $10,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the gazebo's size, shape, material, and design complexity. Material choice is a significant cost driver; for example, brick is often more affordable, while metal can be one of the more expensive options. Square-shaped gazebos can also be more expensive to build. Custom features, such as built-in seating or lighting, will increase the total price. You may be able to save money by purchasing a prefabricated gazebo kit or performing some of the labor yourself.
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.
