"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."
"Reached out to Tim to address a problem with my oak stairs squeaking. His repair solved the problem .quality work. Reasonable price. Would hire him again."
"This is a family owned and run business. The do very high quality work at a very competitive price. They will also stand by their work if there are any issues. I had a slight issue with my gutter install which I noticed after the first hard rain, probably a month after the job was complete, and they were out the next day to correct it. My next door neighbor was so impressed he also did a whole house siding and window job."
"it went very well roger and mike and the crew were very good at replacing the whole roof right down to the new plywood, when the job was done, everything was picked up, like they were never here,.. i want to thank roger and mike ,and the crew so much for installing our much needed ROOF. i would hire again ."
"Excellent, I would recommend for his craftsmanship. Read fine print in contract, any problems that come up are homeowner's responsibility and expense. Never told us sprinkler would need to be cut & moved when he bid the project, instead left it hanging (literally). We had to get a crew out to fix it and the landscaping around the new patio which got trashed in the process of bringing in the concrete. Not exactly a turn-key project -- you have to invest in landscaping which can take alot of time and money after. Live and learn -- but Kevin's work is excellent and reasonably priced compared to other quotes we got. I would definitely recommend -- esp a year later with the grass grown back and the sprinklers fixed. We have a beautiful patio that increased our property value quite a bit. Thanks Kevin!!"
"David Harris Painters did superb work at our home. Excellent repair carpentry and painting. They were highly professional and showed great craftsmanship and attention to detail. They obviously wanted to do the best job possible, not just get the job done. We are very satisfied and would certainly use David Harris again. "
"So far they have been very responsive. We are waiting on a quote to see if we are actually going to use them. The first quote was $110,000 that they gave us in July and the second one was $150,000 in August. They are one of two companies that we are bidding."
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.
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.
For many people, a gazebo is worth it, but it’s a matter of personal preference. If you love spending time outside but your yard doesn’t offer much protection from the sun or rain, then adding a gazebo might be worthwhile. Or, if you enjoy hosting dinner parties and want a nice outdoor space to gather with your friends, a gazebo could be a good investment.
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.
Porticos last 25 to 60 years, depending on the material used. A portico’s roof typically matches the roof of the rest of the home and can be replaced simultaneously. Portico columns have a similar life span if properly maintained and regularly sealed. In some areas, harsh weather and extreme temperatures may cause a portico to wear more quickly.
