"Excellent. Vance worked designed patio and landscaping based on our original sketch. Included all previous perennials as well as a number of new plantings. Team was prompt, cordial and very good at their jobs. Changes accommodated without any issues. Made sure were able to use patio even before the job was complete."
"Architecture grade look and build quality! Experienced installation and service! I would recommend this to anyone looking to out this over a deck. Our only outdoor space is our large front patio. Our house is beautiful, less than 4 years old, and Marygrove had features in color and fabric that melded perfectly with our home’s aesthetic! The tech and operation and materials quality are exceptional."
"I've been a licensed contractor for over 30 years with a 5-star rating myself, so I rarely take the time to write reviews unless it's flawless work. Height Control gave me a 10-star service from start to finish. Brain was as professional as they come. Without blinking an eye with the add on that I requested thru out my project; he never gave an unreasonable price for any of the work but most importantly didn't overextend the timeframe. His crew came out and did a exceptional job in a timely fashion. We ordered a massive natural 6ft stone step for our front porch which three other companies estimated that it couldn't be done due to the concrete foundation having the potential to crack. His crew came out and laid it without any incident. I highly recommend Height Control for ALL your landscaping needs. I promise you they will not disappoint!!

"Outstanding Experience with TEMO – Our Patio Cover is a Dream Come True! We recently had a TEMO cathedral-style patio cover installed, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and exceeded our expectations. The design of the cathedral roof instantly elevated the look of our backyard – it’s both elegant and functional. The vaulted ceiling gives the space an airy, open feel, and it blends beautifully with our home’s architecture. TEMO’s materials are clearly top quality – everything feels sturdy, well-crafted, and built to last. The team that handled the installation was courteous, punctual, and meticulous. They took great care to ensure everything was installed properly and cleaned up thoroughly after the job. Communication was clear throughout the process, and any questions we had were answered quickly and professionally. We’ve already hosted several gatherings under our new patio cover, and guests constantly compliment the space. It provides excellent shade, keeps the area cooler, and has truly transformed how we use our outdoor space. If you’re considering a patio cover, I highly recommend TEMO. Their craftsmanship, customer service, and product quality are unmatched. We couldn’t be more thrilled!"

A professional can design and construct sunrooms or patio enclosures that meet structural standards, optimize environmental conditions, and integrate seamlessly with existing architecture. This ensures the project enhances home value and provides long-term enjoyment.
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.
A sunroom may count toward your home's total square footage or living space if it meets certain conditions, which can vary by local regulations. Generally, for a sunroom to be included, it must be fully enclosed, properly insulated, and equipped with electrical access and a heating and cooling (HVAC) system, similar to a four-season room. It should also meet the same construction standards as the rest of the house. Three-season sunrooms that function more like enclosed porches typically do not count toward the total square footage and are considered exterior living space.
Building a sunroom can take anywhere from two weeks to six months. An average-sized sunroom typically takes between two and eight weeks to complete, but more elaborate or larger projects can take longer. The final timeline depends on factors such as the sunroom's size, features, structural requirements, type, and whether it's a retrofit or a new build from scratch.
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.
