American Home Improvement IncOur front slope and patio were a mess! Dead ground cover, weeds, broken sprinklers and just plain ugly.

Rancho Rain Gutters was not the least expensive quote we received but we went with them because we were impressed with the solutions they proposed for some of the tricky features of our roof line and because our second choice (Masco) was unwilling to tie the downspouts into our existing...
Rancho Rain GuttersWhen I had purchased the Big Deal, I didn't realized that it had a size restriction on the patio. Mr. Belman came out to measure my existing patio and provide an estimate which came out to about $7,500 as my patio is quite a bit larger than the terms of the Deal cover. I've spent the past few...
Belman Hardscape & PaversAfter getting a quote from another company, we called Jeff with Patios by B & B.

"Excellent Service with Great Attention to Detail! I recently hired TruBlue to help with some home improvement projects, including hanging pendant lights in my kitchen and mounting artwork on my walls. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and professional. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed everything in a timely manner without cutting corners. They paid close attention to detail, ensuring the pendant lights were perfectly aligned and at the right height. It made a huge difference in the look and feel of the kitchen and I was happy with their work. When it came to hanging the art, they took the time to measure and position everything precisely, making sure it was level and looked just right in the space. I appreciated their professionalism, skill, and the care they took with my home. It’s clear that TruBlue takes pride in their work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again for future projects. Highly recommend!"

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 $9 per 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
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Retractable awnings add curb appeal and help keep the sun out of your eyes when you're working indoors or lounging on the back patio or deck. In this price guide, you'll learn how much retractable awnings cost.
