We assemble furniture, exercise equipment, swing sets, & so much more! We can do change outs for new doorknobs, garbage disposals, light fixtures, fans, faucets, toilets, & more. Honey do's that you don't want to do yourself. \n\nI have been in business since 2019. But I have over 25+ years of assembling things. I was let go doing the massive layoff from Baker Hughes in 2015. I enjoyed assembling things, working with my hands. I decided to go into business for myself. \n\nOur small business only consists of my wife & I. I am from the Lafayette area. We enjoy meeting & helping those in need!\n\nWe have had many types of customers. From businesses around the Acadiana area, to single parents that don't have the time, to families that just have way too many things to do, to those that can't figure out how to read the crazy instructions! \n\nWe were ranked #1 on Nextdoor for the Lafayette area in assembly/handyman.

Patio Covers questions, answered by experts

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.

There are many materials to choose from, including picket fencing, wood slats, galvanized metal skirting, dog-ear fence panels, scallop wood fence panels, bamboo screens, and other decorative screens. You can search for materials at local big box stores like Home Depot or scour online home improvement sites. Good search terms to use are fencing, skirting, and privacy panels.

It’s best to keep your awning retracted if winds are 25 miles per hour or more to make sure your awning doesn’t sustain irreparable damage due to wind. Some awnings can take winds up to 30 miles per hour without any damage, but it’s best to consult the manufacturer’s guidance. A good rule of thumb is if it’s too windy for you to comfortably stand outside, it’s time to bring the awning in.

Hurricane fabric is a temporary form of hurricane protection that offers an alternative to boarding up windows or installing traditional storm panels. Unlike hurricane screens, which are permanently attached to your home, hurricane fabric is installed over your windows and other openings before a storm.

In terms of effectiveness, hurricane fabric is tested and proven to protect homes from Category 5 hurricanes, which can have winds over 157 miles per hour. When installed properly, it is designed to block the majority of wind and rain and protect against water, debris, and projectile damage.

While the fabric is exceptionally durable, windows can still break if hit directly by flying debris at high velocity. However, it is a good protective measure against an impending storm. For comparison, hurricane fabric is more protective and durable than hurricane window film. While boarding up windows is easier than installing the fabric, it is more labor-intensive and requires storing heavy plywood.

To further increase the chances of your windows surviving a hurricane, you can take additional steps like securing outdoor items, elevating HVAC units, and fortifying your home's foundation.

Costs depend on fabric type, window size, and additional features like motorization or custom designs.
