We accepted proposal from Olson in mid June, and the Marvin patio door was installed in late July. The patio screen fell off that evening, and Olson came out the next day to repair. At that time, we also complained to Olson that our new patio door was hard to open. Also, the finish of the prefinished white interior was very thin, the wood grain was showing through the finish, and in some areas, you could see the yellow color of the wood showing through the paint (for comparison, the new Pella windows also had a prefinished white interior, and they are beautiful and flawless). Also, the interior trim piece across the top of the patio door was crooked when installed by Olson. We sent photos of the problems to Olson, and he came out a few days later to discuss my concerns. I was told our sliding panel was warped and it needed to be replaced. Shortly afterwards, a second person, who I thought was from Marvin, came to look at the door, and he also confirmed the panel was warped and needed to be replaced, He told me the replacement panel would be ordered and I would hear back when it arrived to arrange for installation. Olson did have the installer come back to replace the crooked horizontal trim piece, which now looks good I waited and waited for the call to arrange a time to replace the panel. Finally, in late September, I received a call from a lumberyard (who, unbeknownst to me, is the source used by Olson) who was following up on outstanding issues. They informed me that Marvin rejected the order for a replacement panel. Nobody from Marvin, the lumberyard, or Olson informed me of that until that call. The lumberyard promised to contact Marvin to follow up with me on my concerns. We gave up hearing from them after a month, thinking we were going to live with our sticky Marvin patio door with poor finish forever. I believe it was November or December when I received a call from a Marvin technician, who arranged to come to my home to look at the situation. To fix the sticky door, he simply used a putty knife to remove a hidden felt pad that was behind the sliding door, and it again moved freely. He explained that the factory adds this felt pad to all doors, but sometimes it makes the door too tight. The Marvin representative agreed the finish was not too good, and promised to send me some touch up white paint for the finish, which I received in the mail a few days later. I am happier with the Marvin door as it no longer sticks, but I do still need to repaint the interior in the spring. In retrospect, Olson did initially follow up on my issues, but clearly dropped the ball on the replacement panel and concerns about the finish. I wish Olson knew about this felt pad, as it would have addressed by sticky door concern months earlier. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend that if you do go with Olson, you follow up with them regularly if you have any issues. I was disappointed overall since Olson has such a good rating with Angie's list. Hopefully my experience will help Olson improve, and will help others make a good decision. UPDATE February 26: Immediately after submitting my review, Olson contacted me and wanted to make things right. I learned my problems were likely caused by changing of staff at Olson. To make it right, Olson came out and repainted my Marvin door at no charge to me, and on a day most convenient for me. I appreciate their efforts to make good, and I've bumped up their ratings appropriately."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/barrington/olson-windows-doors-and-siding-reviews-94978.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Vega's Landscaping Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"STEVEN L."},"reviewBody":"If you are expecting a professional, you should go with another company.

We ended up going with a different company that was slightly less expensive (because we bought in during their spring special). I do think that Nierman's pricing was fine, and I appreciated the fact that the design was free and part of their cost of doing business.

FAQs for patio cover service projects in Big Rock, IL
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
