"Claudino and his team were absolutely amazing! At my house on Sunday, started patio Monday morning and Tuesday the job was done. Our patio looks phenomenal and after project was complete, Claudino and his team made everything look as good as new! Will definitely be using he and his team again-highly recommend!"
"We are so happy with the beautiful patio Arnold and his team built for us! Arnold was very professional and responsive from the first time we reached out to him for an initial quote through completion of the project. He was able to complete our patio ahead of schedule so that we could enjoy our new patio even earlier for the summer. He took great care of the job site and our property which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend him and his business!"
"Jimmy completed an extensive flagstone, Belgian block, and brick patio/long, wide walkway and front brick stoop repair and restoration today (May 3rd, 2020). The results were nothing less than spectacular! Beautiful, precise stonework Jimmy! Courteous, prompt and professional, it is clear that Jimmy is a Master craftsman at his trade. Jimmy's estimate was quite reasonable and within our budget for the project. There were no surprises. Jimmy performed the very same scope of work (no shortcuts) that the other masonry contractors I interviewed agreed to perform at well below their estimates. Upon completing the work, Jimmy and his crew cleaned up the area perfectly, so there was nothing that I had to do except behold and enjoy his work. As soon as finances permit, I will be calling Jimmy back to install a Belgian block apron at the end of our driveway. We (my wife and I) consider ourselves fortunate to have found Jimmy, and highly recommend calling him for your masonry project (s). You can expect high quality work at a price that won't bust your budget!"
"This was a terrific experience. Everything went as planned. The crew arrived on time for every appointment and completed the work on schedule. Communication via email, text, and phone was terrific. The price was fair with no surprises. While on the property, they were polite and considerate of my neighbors and pets. They offered ideas for the best layout and care of the patio. They worked with a sense of urgency. I would hire them again."
"Jimmy's did a Wonderful Job on Both the Front and Back Stairs, Back Patio and Stucco on the foundation. I will use them again if I need masonry work done in the future. Thanks for all you done."
"We are so happy with the beautiful patio Mondy and his team built for us! He was very professional and responsive from the first time we reached out to him for an initial quote through completion of the project. He was able to complete our patio ahead of schedule so that we could enjoy our new patio even earlier for the summer. He took great care of the job site and our property which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend him and his business!"
"Finished the project in less than one day. They came up with a plan to only replace a limited number of blocks to save us money. Cleaned up after completing work and left the yard and driveway spotless."
Several types of porches are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:
Porticos are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance.
Sunrooms are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight.
Wraparound porches extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.
Back porches are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.
With proper maintenance, the average life span of a screened-in porch is six to eight years for the screens themselves, but the foundation and structure can last for 50 to 100 years. To keep your screened-in porch in good shape, clean your porch screens regularly, patch holes, re-seal the wood as needed, and address any foundational issues right away.
Yes, a screened-in porch will increase your property taxes because it has a foundation and is considered a permanent improvement to your land. The exact amount your taxes will go up depends on the value of your existing home, the value added by the screened-in porch, the size of the structure, your location, and more.
Aluminum, vinyl, and wood all offer unique benefits for durability and aesthetics.
Yes, transforming a deck into a sunroom is an absolute possibility. Building a sunroom involves framing in the deck area with walls, adding windows, and affixing a roof. This project is not an easy task, but it does provide a stylish addition to your house. Not all deck designs support this type of renovation project, so consult a professional deck builder before beginning.
