"I am impressed with Alguire Contruction. We had an issue with a stamped concrete patio puddling water. John and his crew cut out the low spot and re-poured it. I was impressed with their overall workmanship and follow through. I would hire them again. Jim"
"After a breif mix up, (They were on vacation when I called), they came out and listened to what I wanted to do, and went right to work with their thoughts and priced in at $17,000 to $20,000. I was standing there with only $1,200.00 so I had to put off this project. I had no idea it would be that expensive."
"Mitchell, with Mabry Construction was hired to replace some boards on our deck and re-stain it. He did a very nice job! Mitchell was the first company to reply to my request on Angie and promptly came out to provide an estimate. He was kind and accommodating as we had rain on and off for weeks. Mitchell showed up every day, working around the rain, until the job was completed. Our deck looks great! We would use him again!"

"Eduardo and the Mater Landscaping team safely and expertly removed several trees (including stumps) and limbs from a large oak tree that were overhanging my home. They did an outstanding job from start to finish, at an exceptionally reasonable cost. I appreciate their professionalism and highly recommend their work."
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.
Building a sunroom is usually less expensive than the cost of building a home addition, but it depends on the type of sunroom. A four-season sunroom will cost more than a home addition because it’s basically a home addition with larger, more expensive windows. All other types of sunrooms will be more affordable than a home addition of an equivalent size because they don’t have insulation, heating, cooling, electrical connections, or plumbing.
A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.
A sunroom may count toward your home's total square footage or living space if it meets certain conditions, which can vary by local regulations. Generally, for a sunroom to be included, it must be fully enclosed, properly insulated, and equipped with electrical access and a heating and cooling (HVAC) system, similar to a four-season room. It should also meet the same construction standards as the rest of the house. Three-season sunrooms that function more like enclosed porches typically do not count toward the total square footage and are considered exterior living space.
In most parts of the U.S., adding a screened-in porch requires a building permit. Since this type of project often involves structural work and changes to your home’s footprint, homeowners should adhere to local guidelines. That said, permit rules can vary widely depending on where you live and how extensive the project is. Before you start sketching out plans or ordering materials, check in with your city or county’s building department to avoid headaches, fines, and potential structural issues down the line.
