"I have used Shannon in the past do refresh our landscaping. I called him this time because I wanted to have him build a patio and landscape our backyard. Shannon came out a few days after I contact him. He got the measurements and had his landscape designer come out. They designed a plan. Once the pavers arrived they began their work. I could not be happier with the end result. I love my patio and new plants."
"Ron came by soon after I requested an estimate. He was very efficient, came at the time we agreed upon, and offered options as to how to best do the job which was to repair my driveway pavers and refresh the driveway, walkway, and lanai pavers. Ron and his son worked efficiently to restore the pavers with an end result with them looking better than new. I would highly recommend this team as they did a wonderful job plus stayed within the original estimate. Ron works in other surfaces as well and will be returning here for another task of sealing a tiled shower. He is a man of many skills."
"Excellent! There were a few places on the lawn and bushes that were dusted with Adair amount of cement dust/powder that has yet to disappear, although I assume a good rain will take care of it:-)"
"Robert and his team was very quick to respond.
they came out the next day for an estimate then did the job 2 days later. It was great! My new
Patio looks awesome! Highly recommend them!"
"I would say overall the experience was good he had really good feedback on how to design the patio effectively and to ensure that there wasn't any issues for the long haul had a really good experience walking through what my expectations were. The only thing would be for feedback is if there unforeen changes from either a request from the client or the project to present them sooner. The additional charge for site preparation came off in poor fourm to present after the project was completed rather then addressing it as it came up. But the final product was very good"
"Billy Hay's crew came in and did a great, professional job with my garden preparation. He brought in chicken manure to fertilizer naturally. Then he spread it and tilled it in."
"Two years ago, Garry Stidham restored the exterior of my badly neglected Haile home I had recently purchased. Today, it still looks absolutely perfect! The home had no matching interior doors. I purchased solid wood, six-panel, unpainted interior slab doors and had Garry prime, paint and install these new doors. As with every project, Garry executed the job to perfection!!! The doors were fitted, then sprayed with two high quality primer coats and two final finish coats and finally installed. They are beyond beautiful!!! He changed out all the hinges and door knobs as well as the door stoppers. He also fixed one of the door frames which was previously crooked. Now, all the doors are beautiful and functional. Of course, I had several other items he took care of. Once I have him, I don't want to let him go! As always, only Garry works on my home!"
The average cost to enclose a patio to create a sunroom is around $5,000, and prices generally range from $3,000 up to $10,000. The price you pay will depend on the state of your patio and whether it needs repairs or additional structural support, the quality of the materials you choose, the size of your patio, and whether you plan to run utilities into and finish the sunroom. The price for a fully finished patio enclosure could run up to around $20,000, while you might pay just $2,500 for a screened-in porch.
Prefab kits like a small sunroom for around $20,000 or even a basic gazebo roof for as little as $60 can save you big over professional installation. However, you lose the option for customization, and these structures tend not to last nearly as long. As for bigger projects like a deck or patio, you shouldn’t go with the DIY route unless you’re fully prepped with the tools and know-how to get it done right. Mistakes can be frustrating and costly, so choose a pro if you’re looking to eliminate your risk of error.

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.
If you’re trying to decide between a sunroom and a screened-in porch, the right choice will depend on your priorities. A screened-in porch costs only a fraction of the price of a sunroom, but in exchange, it has much more limited use. A sunroom will add more value to your home, but at a much higher up-front cost and longer construction timeline.
