"Gaby did amazing work helping us design and build a custom closet. It is a tricky space because of the ceiling angles and Gaby built a piece that is both functional and beautifully designed."
"I could not be happier with my finished basement! They were polite and courteous did an awesome job. They framed, insulated, installed new floors, a drop ceiling, built in closets, new stairs, and even had heat and AC installed. Highly Recommend!"
"I hired him through Angi, and was really happy with his job and knowledge. He has a lot of experience and know what he is doing. Will fully recommend him and hire him again if I need to do another job at my house."
"I needed my basement finished when I bought a new house, Ty and Kye were able to make my vision come to life. These guys went above and beyond what I asked for, were extremely friendly and professional, and worked hard to finish my basement on time for me to move in! I will continue to recommend them to everyone. They’re great!"
"It was beautiful. They went far beyond to what we expected. What they did was incredible. It was huge project. They said they would do it and they did it. They were great."
"My porch was in bad shape and it’s a rather large porch so I was worried about the safety of what I had and the price point. John came out and made me feel at ease with the process. I’m so glad I went with rau and sons. They not only replaced my porch with a safer and more appealing porch but all in all the work that was done is a1. My family and I were treated wonderfully during the job and they even stayed late in the beginning to make sure we had safe access into our home for our child and dogs. I would 10/10 recommend hiring them and they will for sure be my first call for any jobs at my home. All and all trustworthy company again would recommend to anyone looking to get any work done"
Using concrete footers is the best way to secure a gazebo on a deck without drilling. The weight of the footers is more likely to hold your gazebo in place than other methods. You can also pour concrete into flower pots to create an aesthetically pleasing concrete footer or use concrete columns to make a statement.
Fascia and soffits differ in their location and design, but fascia vents are the most popular alternative to soffits. These are a bit more hidden than soffits, but depending on the structure of your roof, they can cost more to install and maintain. They are also installed around the entire roof, whereas soffits can be placed only where you need them or, if the aesthetics bother you, somewhere out of sight.
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.
On average, building or installing a gazebo costs around $5,700, with a typical range between $3,000 and $10,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the gazebo's size, shape, material, and design complexity. Material choice is a significant cost driver; for example, brick is often more affordable, while metal can be one of the more expensive options. Square-shaped gazebos can also be more expensive to build. Custom features, such as built-in seating or lighting, will increase the total price. You may be able to save money by purchasing a prefabricated gazebo kit or performing some of the labor yourself.
Log cabins are relatively difficult to maintain compared to a traditional house. That’s because log cabins require regular upkeep and care that can include refinishing and corncob blasting, a process similar to sandblasting that shoots ground-up corncob with compressed air.
