This company subcontracts out work to builders without doing any research. You're better off finding a local builder yourself so you avoid the headache we had to deal with. This was approximately a 210sq ft deck we paid $31k) for (we were okay with paying extra because we thought they were reputable) The deck was installed with absolutely no water protection behind the ledger board. The ledger board was just placed against 40 year old siding and I can clearly see the rim joist of my house from outside. The owner TJ and his assistant Jesse both advised that it was done right they didn't see anything wrong with it. (had to call them out while just the framing was up, there was no oversight.) I had 4 contractors out to double check it, 1 being related and 3 are well known local builders. All of them stated that there was no water membrane behind the ledger, it would quickly rot out and to pause all work to get code enforcement out because there's no way it will pass. I notified TJ I wanted code enforcement to check it out before we proceeded due to major safety concerns (deck railing installed with no screws barely hanging on and they just covered it with the railing cover. See photo. And the ledger board being clearly placed over old siding with no water barrier) When code enforcement came out his first words were "this is wrong". TJ kept advising code enforcement that he just didn't see how it was wrong. Ultimately, code enforcement failed it due to there being no barrier to protect the ledger board or the house from wind driven rain, ice, etc(live on the coast) To fix it they had to cut the ledger board into 4 pieces peel it off the house, cut what should have been cut originally and then water barrier put in, old foam put back and put the deck back. The entire time, Jesse made sure that we knew he was very irritated to have to fix it. They also took out a 3 ft window and replaced it with a 6 ft sliding glass door on an exterior wall and weren't going to put in a header or any pan flashing (placed it right on the wood) . The header they put in (after me insisting they did) is blocked on 1 side (jack stud too short so instead of fixing they just added a little wood block) and it's floating on the other, jack stud also too short - not supporting header. When they drilled the holes for the helical posts(3) they drilled it a foot into my garage door path - and then had to cut more blacktop out to fix it. How this step is messed up is beyond me. Overall the issue comes from complete lack of oversight and they were either being dishonest about not seeing what was wrong, or they've installed a lot of decks without a water barrier. (leading reason for deck failures) Either way - terrible experience with this business. This doesn't even account for the "can't see it from my house" the crew kept saying throughout the build Update: BEWARE Just received a cease and desist in the mail today from their lawyers. It seems like they sue people who leave their business with negative reviews. Even with all the photos of their work. Cease and desist attached.Went with archadeck because they had a good rating.

"Two stars because the work was eventually finished, but they left work partially completed with a dormer exposed to rain for several weeks. They also sent a finished work certification before the work was done to ask me to certify that it was complete. The owner discounted the work slightly, but it was a bad experience that delayed the house renovation and I do not recommend this contractor to others"

"We needed a fence around our yard so that our large dog would have a safe place to rest and run around. We told Lou that we wanted a vinyl fence that was 5 ft high running around one side of our cottage so that our dog could go from the front porch into the yard. Lou did a great job and identified where electric lines were to avoid them. Lou also advised us to get two double gates in addition to the single gate so that we could get a mower (or other equipment) in, as needed. We love the way the fence turned out and we highly recommend his work. Lou is a pleasure to work with and we will hire him again when there is work to be done.,"

Patio cover services FAQs
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 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.
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.
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
