Z ConstructionBruce came out and gave us a fair estimate on a new patio. The job was done on time and came out great. I would highly recommend Bruce and the Preferred Pavers team. Since he completed our job, I have recommended them to two friends and he did a great job for them as well.

Matt came over the house and gave me an estimate and told me that if the paint did not cover, he may have to add a third coat. I had to have a rug installed and he worked with me on establishing a date so that he could start the job after the rug was installed. He started the job on the...
Very very frustrating with lots of excuses and shabby work that had to be repaired. They kept coming back to fix mistakes and kept at it but the final product was not that good. The stain was not smoothly applied so there are lines of dark vs light. They also did a poor job sanding so...

Welcome, my name is Richard Waters Jr. I'm the owner of J.W. Awning Co. in Maine. First, I would like to thank you for visiting my Home Page. Here is a little about my company. I started the company in 1976 doing boat tops and awnings ( both residential & commercial ). Thanks to the economy I had to be innovative and flexible coming up with an array of products. I also have some new ideas ready for market. Each product can be manufactured in small or large quantities. My latest inovation is The Canvas Wedge conversion kit. I am currently looking for distributors for this product. Call us today for a free estimate!
"We had a custom awning made for our deck. The work was top quality and the service was outstanding. We highly recommend JW Awnings."

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.
