"They were very professional and kept us informed during every step of the process. Installation crew was great, very courteous, and worked together like a well oiled machine. The patio enclosure is exactly as we ordered and looks great. We're extremely pleased."

"From the initial inquiry via Angie's List, to the visit from Chuck, our salesperson, to the installation and everything in between, I was pleased with the service that I received from American Jewel.  The customer service was responsive upon first inquiry and I received a call from somebody the same day.  When Chuck came to our house, he was knowledgeable and congenial and most of all, took the time to review all of our options and made sure our questions were answered.  He also measured and advised us that someone would call us to schedule an installer to come and re-measure before the windows and patio door were ordered.  We heard from someone the next day and within a week, the installer came to ensure accurate measurements and take photos.  We were told that once the windows were created, we would receive another call for an installation date.  I had changed the orientation of the patio door to open from left to right from the way the door was currently.  I was impressed to receive a call from the office to double-check the direction that I wanted the door because the photos had showed differently from what I ordered. I also received a call from Chuck advising that the door turned out to be a custom-size and it would be $200 extra.  He explained that was why they come back out and measure to make sure.  No problem.  About 2 weeks later, the installation day had arrived and the two guys that came were punctual and completed the job in one day as promised.  They cleaned up after themselves, removed all old windows and debris and reviewed the features of the windows and doors with me.  The quality of the windows are good for replacements and the door is solid as well.  I opted for the upgraded brushed nickel hardware which looks great.
One note to mention:  I did notice that the sash on one of the windows was bent and looked like it was damaged in transport.  The installer took note and wrote on my final bill that it would be replaced.  As of the writing of this, I haven't heard from anybody on the replacement piece, but given my overall experience so far, I have no worries that American Jewel will take care of it.

"I am a senior with a background in construction.  After reviewing many contractors and speaking with some of them, I immediately knew I hit the jackpot when I spoke to Danny.
 
1.  He knew exactly what I needed and wanted done when I first spoke to him.  This entailed the replacement, repair, and installation of the items listed above with attention to quality in materials, prevention of future problems, a fair price, and a commitment to starting and showing up once the job was initiated.  Danny exceeded every expectation in these regards!
2.  I silently knew in advance manufacturers, quality and cost of exterior doors (including the french door), storm doors, door locks and deadbolts, leak-proof door sills for 6 inch exterior walls and a leak-proof barrier on the bottom of the door frames.  Without knowing of my preferences, Danny suggested the identical manufacturers and materials I had in mind.  At this juncture, we met and I hired Danny to perform the work.
3.  I am beyond pleased with the outcome of Danny's effort on this project.  As an example of his integrity, he asked me to trust him in the design and installation of an exterior octagonal window in a bathroom.  My wife and I were literally blown away with a handcrafted symmetrical waterproof tunnel and inside wall frame he created - more akin to an artistic piece than a window.
4. Inside work was always minimally invasive using tarps and soft shoes rather than work boots.  Outside and inside cleanup at the end of each work day was respectfully performed leaving no mess.
I would recommend Danny to anyone requiring any kind of interior or exterior installation, modification, or repair as I have seen firsthand examples of his experience, skills, and personal and business ethics.  In fact, Danny is presently working on costs to replace our roof."

Patios questions, answered by experts

Yes, porches require foundations. The type of foundation required, however, is determined by the type and use of the porch. For example, a screened-in porch won’t require a new cement foundation. However, if you turn your porch into a sunroom or plan on making it a living space, then chances are you need a foundation that’s more permanent than piers and posts. 

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.

A screened-in porch can add value to your home, with a potential return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 84%. The actual value added depends heavily on several factors. Climate is a major consideration; homes in warm, humid, or buggy areas (like the Southern regions) see the highest ROI. In colder climates, the value is diminished as the unconditioned space is unusable for much of the year. Other factors that influence the return include the quality of materials and construction, the size of the porch, and the local real estate market. While a screened-in porch can enhance curb appeal and attract potential buyers, it is not included in the home's total square footage for appraisal purposes.

Prefab kits like a small sunroom for around $20,000 or even a basic gazebo roof for as little as $60 can save you big over professional installation. However, you lose the option for customization, and these structures tend not to last nearly as long. As for bigger projects like a deck or patio, you shouldn’t go with the DIY route unless you’re fully prepped with the tools and know-how to get it done right. Mistakes can be frustrating and costly, so choose a pro if you’re looking to eliminate your risk of error.

A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home.
