We were told it would be about 2 weeks until work would start (their website says that normal turnaround is 2 weeks as well). The contracts said 6-8 weeks, just to cover their butts. However, they didn't start on our roof until right about 8 weeks, and the siding/gutters didn't get started until 10 weeks. We had wanted to get the projects done ASAP, and they knew that, as we wanted to put our house on the market early in the summer. Well, that obviously couldn't happen. They were terrible at communicating when things would get done. I called frequently to find out dates, etc., usually to receive no call back. On the day our siding installation was supposed to start, no one showed up. I arranged my schedule to be home all that day, only to find out they wouldn't be able to start until 2 days later. The roofing process was fine, as that's a pretty simple job, hard to mess up. But the siding was a disaster. Superior's website clearly states that "We also work hard to keep the job site clean and orderly throughout the working process," which was SO not the case. No one threw anything away until the end of the job. My doors were often blocked with garbage from the job. They were kind enough to sweep my steps at the end of each day, but that's about it. When the foam insulation board was going up, I stood shocked at my kitchen window watching the workers play nail darts on the side of my house. Such professionalism... On the last day of siding work, I left the house for a bit, only to come back to find one of the workers walking out of my house. He had no permission to be in the house, and you can imagine how scary that felt. I was unable to get a clear answer out of anyone as to why he was in there (the crews never spoke English well enough to communicate with me), and he left nails all over the floor inside for my 1 year old to discover. When the crew left and my husband and I took a look around the outside of the house, we noticed a lot of poor quality workmanship, especially in the flashing/trim work. Many pieces were bent, or haphazardly installed. They had left trash on our roof, didn't bother to hook our internet back up, and did a very poor job of reattaching the electrical to the house. Superior's policy is that you don't pay until they do a final walk-through. They tried to skirt around this with me, however. I was asked about 6 different times to send a check before the walk-through was done. When I called to voice my opinion and complaints on their shoddy workmanship, I was brushed aside as they tried to make me feel like an idiot for having such issues with them. They called one day to tell me a guy would be coming to pick up their left-over materials, saying nothing about a final walk-through, and I happened to be out of the house when he came - no one ever told me WHEN they were coming. So they called back to tell me that WAS the final walk-through and I missed it. Um, I don't think so. Reluctantly, they sent someone else. They admitted at least 6 issues with the job, and said someone would be out the next day to fix them. The workers came, fixed So here we sit with some cruddy workmanship on our home, a TERRIBLE customer service experience from a company who claims, "When we say we're here to serve you, we mean it," and still out the same $17,000 we were quoted. No apologies, no compromises, just a lot of anger and disappointment with a company that had such good reviews before now.

We cleaned up the floors, and discovered that more water appeared after the upstairs bathroom was used. After cleaning up the floor again, we experimented with finding the source. None of the sinks contributed to the flooding, nor did the shower/bath tub upstairs. When we tried the downstairs toilet, it flushed just fine, and no water flooded. When the upstairs toilet was flushed, the water immediately spilled behind the washer from one of the pipes; there was no sound of the water traveling through the pipes, and no hesitation between the flush and the spilling water. After my husband went to the bathroom downstairs, the downstairs toilet overflowed, though.
We called A-1 after looking for a good, affordable plumber. We were informed immediately upon calling that we would have to pay time and a half because it was Sunday, which we were more than okay with (their base hourly rate is $80.00). Originally, the plumber would come out at 3, but it ended up being 4:30, which we expected because we were called back around 2:00 by the secretary/dispatcher to inform us that the appointment he was currently at require installment of new parts, he had another appointment after that one before ours, and so he would be late. The communication in this regard was phenomenal. However, we were originally told that we could post-date a check for payment as a payment plan method, and then later (the second call) were told that we could not do that, so we ended up borrowing some money to cover it.
Once the plumber was there, he was able to examine the situation, fix it, and put everything back where it had been within half an hour. It turned out to be an unknown blockage in the sewer line that the plumber suspected was caused by the way the pipes were installed; he said that it seemed like there was a gap in the line that could contribute to blockages, and which we would need to have looked at to avoid future problems. The plumber was polite, professional, and confident in what he was doing. We were incredibly well pleased with his work, and will definitely go through A-1 in the future."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/waterloo/a1-sewer-and-drain-services-llc-reviews-5165499.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"TLC-The Landscape Company","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary W."},"reviewBody":"They did a good job.

I had to leave my car there over night for a repair while a part was being ordered. I picked it up late the following day, and after getting it home, something caught my eye as I went to close the drivers door. There were dents on the roof where the door met the roof...with touch up paint covering them up! When I inspected further, I could see more scratches on the inside of the door jam that corresponded to the dents on the roof...but without touch up paint! First thing the next day I called and spoke with the owner. His general attitude was 'not concerned'. He said he would ask the guys in the shop if anything had happened and get back to me. Well, I didn't hear from him for 2 days, so I called back. He said his guys didn't know of anything that had happened while it was there. I pressed harder for answers and he said, \"well, maybe something happened while it was parked outside over night...\" he'd check the surveillance tapes and get back to me. Again, I didn't hear from him for 2 days, so I called. He said he didn't see anything on the tapes to indicate that the car had been messed with. He offered no sympathy, accepted no responsibility, and offered no compensation for damage and a cover-up that clearly happened on his watch. My theory is that they locked the keys in the car and proceeded to try to open it with a wire/coat hanger through the door jam; realized the damage when the door was open, covered the marks on the roof with touch up paint...but either didn't notice the marks on the door or forgot to cover those. Possibly the guys in shop did this and nobody fessed up when the boss asked...that seems believable. But when a customer calls with a complaint of damage that clearly happened when the vehicle was in their care, you'd think that a business owner that cares about his customers...and his reputation...would at least attempt to make amends. No such result from the owner of Mad Hatter. I am not the type to act with litigation, but I considered it. After consulting my attorney, we both agreed it would be more trouble than it was worth (not a valuable car...but it was spotless before this happened). Needless to say, I stopped doing business with Mad Hatter, and continue to tell this story to anyone who asks where to take their car for repair."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/cedar-falls/mad-hatter-auto-service-reviews-4965942.htm"},"position":10}]}
Patio Cover Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Sumner, IA

"I hired this company to repair hail damage on my home in 2023. The job was to replace the roofs on my house and garage as well as siding and gutters on my house. Long story short they came out and did the roofs in a timely manner, the siding and gutters not so much. Communication was lacking and they tried to charge me way more than what my insurance scope was. I had to get a lawyer involved. He sued me and we went to court. I won my case in February 2025 and I am still waiting to be paid the money I am owed. I do not recommend this company, buyer beware."

FAQs for patio cover service projects in Sumner, IA
While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
The cost of an awning is $1,400 to $4,400 on average. However, this cost could be as low as $100 or as high as $7,500, depending on a few factors. The type of awning you choose, the size you need, and your location all affect your overall cost.
For example, portable awnings you can put up and take down yourself range from $100 to $400, whereas motorized awnings are more luxurious and cost between $2,000 and $3,500.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
Besides the type of awning, you’ll need to choose the type of cover. Your awning installation professional will review your options with you, including availability and costs. The types of covers you can choose from include:
Wood, which is durable but can be damaged easily by rainwater and fire
Cotton offers flexibility, weatherproofing, and easy cleaning
Canvas is highly durable and is a good choice for retractable awnings
Metal is sturdy but is prone to rust
Polyester is easy to clean and is a more breathable option
Polycarbonate is highly resistant to UV rays and is difficult to damage
