67 It's my pleasure to recommend Amherst Nurseries for your next project! I used them to build two new paver patios, fire pit, and also did some landscaping around my pond. All the team members were well trained and professional. It's a super friendly, creative team lead by John, and they...
David came out the next day for a system check and also replaced the broken cover. Very dependable, I highly recommend him and he will definitely be the person I will call from now on.
Great! The two men who came figure out where the water was supposed to go, which was tricky with a dry box quite a long distance away, under my patio tiles, leading to a clogged pipe deep in a slopy section of my garden. They not only figured it all out, but unclogged two pipes, a drain, and...

"I signed a contract with Jesse on March 26th for a deck replacement. His quote seemed fair and communication was good. He said that work could begin once he received the permit, which would take 1-2 weeks. On April 10th I asked for an update and he said the permit was still pending. The next day he says the city requested a drawing. April 15th he says the city now wants even more documents, causing this huge delay. April 16th I ask if it would help if I called the Building Dept myself to ask for an update? He said no, suggested it might delay things even further if the employees do not like me asking about it. So I leave it alone a few more days, but now it is been four weeks and I wonder if Jesse is just stringing me along, maybe finishing some other jobs and not being transparent with me on why this job is delayed. Finally, I look into the city records online (should've done this weeks ago). Not only is there no permit for this deck job, but there is no record of Jesse having a permit in Worcester at any time (the database seems to have at least 5 years of history), and I looked for all variations I could think of for his name and company name. So it is not looking good, but to make sure I am not missing anything I call the Building Dept. They tell me there is no record of Jesse requesting a permit for anything in Worcester (nothing is pending). When I spoke with him today (April 23rd), told him there is no record of a permit request, he says he is going to have a friend pull the permit because that friend always gets fast turnaround on his permits whereas Jesse does not (he even cited a recent example where he supposedly pulled a permit in Worcester but it took a long time - I did not bother telling him I know this is not true, these records are public and he's not in any of them). When I pushed back on his claims, saying there is no evidence of any of this, he says he was just at city hall dropping off documents... I doubt any contractor is going in person to city hall instead of using the online portal. Sounds like more b.s. to me. I was also interested to see the fees the city charges for permits: looks like they would have cost a few hundred dollars, not the three thousand that Jesse claimed."

"Signed contract on May 8 for deck build.On May 12 rep came to my office to collect deposit of apprx $13,000. He said project team meeting on Wed & would update me then on start date etc. On Fri May 16 I had to reach out to him. He wrote the team had met & materials were ordered. An hour later he wrote back that he was misinformed & that his boss was going to call me next week. Despite this, dep check cashed. On Mon 5. 20 rep wrote back that they had forgotten certain costs & to proceed it would be $8,000 more. Not a typo. $8,000 more. No apology. Ridiculous, contract rescinded. I wrote that he could return my deposit at my office just as he had collected it. On Wednesday the 21st I got a text from "Tom," presumably the owner/boss, saying he would "drop a check in the mail" to my address. Today is May 30th, Friday, and still no check. Check at a minimum should have been overnighted. They owe me interest not to mention the deposit to hire a contractor who will honor contract. Bad."

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.
