223 I selected Jerry Block at Spring Interiors due to his positive ratings on Angie's List. I needed a distributor of Adjustaview shades that cover half moon windows with black out blinds to cover my bedroom half moon window. Jerry and Spring Interior came up on my web search as an Adjustaview...
Spring InteriorsTurned out great, repaired edges, and raised or dipped areas. They removed the old brick where repair was needed. Then flattened out the bad areas so patio and walk are now flat. They reused the old brick which kept the look we wanted. One thing they didn't do was replace edging but it...
Mary's design assistance was spot on. She researched and presented several options for patio materials while helping us make a final decision that worked best for our home. Her crew worked extremely hard and finished the job beautifully.
Wave Outdoors Landscape + DesignI asked three companies to provide a quote for wood replacement windows. Olson's representative tried to convince us to go with fiberglass windows (Beechworth) and, to show the cost savings, also provided a quote for Marvin windows and patio door. We ultimately decided to go with Pella...
Olson Windows Doors & SidingIf you are expecting a professional, you should go with another company. I hired Vega's landscaping to remove a concrete patio and install a small brick patio. The price was great, so I hired them. But I had to repeatedly call them to inquire when they were going to start, and...
You really get your money's worth with them! They do a deep clean and make sure that everything from top to bottom is cleaned. The patio doors are cleaned, the blinds are cleaned -- even little shelves in your laundry room are wiped down.
We had a wonderful experience and are enjoying our new patio. We were preparing for our daughter's wedding and Mr Garcia went above what he had to do to have it completed in time. (after we got the permit, not a lot of time was left) He build the patio shape we wanted perfectly, He and...

"I am happy to report that after my less than stellar review of Rush Construction, Chad made good on a promise to fix our deck. We are completely satisfied with the results. He came back and fixed the separation that had occurred on the deck boards himself. He also replaced the entire railing surface. We appreciate that he reached out to us and made good on work that needed to be done."

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 $9 per 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
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Retractable awnings add curb appeal and help keep the sun out of your eyes when you're working indoors or lounging on the back patio or deck. In this price guide, you'll learn how much retractable awnings cost.
