"I'm really late writing this review, but Fidel and the crew did an absolutely fantastic job building us a new deck. We talked at length about what I wanted, and he remembered everything I wanted done and did it perfectly. They used all long boards where appropriate, minimizing end-to-end seams. All corners are square and fit well, nails all subsurface, and quality wood was used throughout. The work was prompt and efficient, and cleanup and debris removal was perfect.

Koehler Homes, Jacksonville based. Serving all NE FL. Windows, doors, siding, and painting.
"I had a very disappointing experience with Koehler Homes. While the window replacement process was excellent and the manufactures window defects were addressed and ultimately corrected (Water was pouring into my home during rain events), the siding replacement and paint job fell well short of expectations. The contractor and installation technicians lacked friendliness, attention to detail and struggled with communication due to language barriers which required numerous calls back to the Koehler office which for the most part went ignored. Overall customer service was far below expectations and little to no follow-up was given, I had to do it all myself with calls to the office and the contractor directly. Fallowing the ‘completion’ there were numerous line items quoted that were not completed and I had to make repeated calls to get corrected facing charges for uncompleted and ignored work. This required me to request and argue for refunds and credits on my final payments of over 3,000 dollars. I would possibly use them for windows again but would look harder at other options and likely choose another contractor. For Siding and paint… I caution and urge you to go elsewhere and maybe even pay more as the work is not as advertised and numerous days of return (rework) trips were required."

"Southern Brothers did a wonderful, very professional job. They put in a patio, and a dog run (artificial grass) for us. The workmanship is excellent. They were on-time, responsible, a pleasure to work with. They are a little more expensive than most, but the quality is very good. My only issue is: make sure you get exact quotes for additional work after the initial bid."

Patios questions, answered by experts
It depends on whether you’re looking at residential or commercial buildings. For residential buildings, the 2018 International Residential Code asks for a maximum riser (or rise) height of 7 3/4 inches and a minimum tread depth (or run) of 10 inches.
For fixed stairs in commercial buildings, OSHA requires a rise between 6 and 7.5 inches, with a run between 10 and 14 inches. The standards are different for spiral staircases.
The average ROI you’ll see from a deck or a concrete patio is 70%, so from a value-add perspective, they’re about the same. However, decks are around double the price of a concrete patio, they require significantly more maintenance, and they have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, about half of what you’d see from a concrete patio. As such, a concrete patio is a better option in terms of up-front cost, long-term maintenance, and ROI.
Do some research before hiring a concrete contractor . Consider asking whether the contractor is insured, if they can provide references of past clients you can contact, and if this type of work requires a permit. Another potential question is how long they guarantee their work.
Concrete should not be poured directly over grass, as this will impede the necessary tension of the concrete. Grass and soil can draw in moisture, leading to potential cracking. For a solid, lasting foundation, the area must be flat, firm, and completely dry.
Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.
