"I can't say enough great things about working with JK Company for our patio. Tino was extremely professional from the first time we met during our consultation to the very last day of the project. He walked us through each step of the process to ensure that we understood all of our options that we had on our plate. With all of his years of experience, he made this patio project (which ended up being a 1500 sq foot patio) a delight to deal with. Putting in patio of that size is a HUGE investment and I wouldn't think twice about doing it all over again with Tino and the rest of the crew at JK Company. True experts in the space and I hope that others take advantage of their work as well....overall GREAT experience! I couldn't be happier with the finished product."

"I have built patios myself in the past so I felt comfortable selecting the blocks and creating the design. I purchased the blocks, the lights, and the pump and waterfall for the project. Harvey and team made the dream come to life and added their own spin on the design. I was happy to let them have some artistic choices as we went along."

"They did an incredible job releveling our patio step and several areas that had settled after 15 years. The work was done the right way - no cutting corners. Afterward they resealed the whole patio and it looks almost new again. They were not cheap, but I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and I feel they did an awesome job for a fair price. I highly recommend them!"

"We have used Roberto Torres and his company for about 4 years now. Aside from awesome weekly landscaping (grass, edging, weeds, trees & bushes), he has also changed out our flower beds and front landscaping and last year removed a dog run and old shrubs and put pavers down to expand my patio. Always prompt, always fair, always high quality work. If you need a reliable service, don’t scroll further. This is the company to use!!"

Patios questions, answered by experts

A prefab sunroom will last for between 10 and 20 years in most cases, although you could get up to 50 years out of a high-quality prefab sunroom. In addition to material quality, your prefab sunroom’s lifespan will depend on the foundation type and the climate in your area. Extreme weather and expansive soil can decrease the expected life.

Yes, a sunroom will require a permit. You may just need a general construction permit for a screened-in porch or solarium. For a three-season room with electricity and a four-season room with electric, heating, and cooling, you’ll need additional permits for each of the utilities, as well as a roofing permit.

A solarium is a luxury addition to a home and can be an excellent breakfast area or reading space, but that doesn't mean there aren't disadvantages. For one, since the room is made of glass it can look dirty very quickly. Another disadvantage is solariums are notoriously hard to balance temperature and will most likely significantly increase your heating and air conditioning bill. Unlike a greenhouse addition to a house, a solarium won’t help you grow as many plants.

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.

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.
