"Craig (owner & installer) and Parker (installer/service) made this whole experience an enjoyable one. Both are very experienced and knowledgeable. We had a new awning placed over our back patio. We have never had an awning before, and they were very thorough in explaining all the different options and mechanics. We are so pleased that we went with this company."

"We are extremely satisfied with Villafana’s work! We hired him for multiple jobs which included: drywall repair, drywall touch-up and multi-room painting. With the service he included clean-up. First I must recognize him for the integrity he has in all he does. He is very detail focused and works with the highest quality of standards. There are things he pointed out as needing attention, that I had not even noticed! He is clear on the project plan and gives a step by step break down of the daily plan. The finished project was amazing! He is very professional, considerate and kind. The most trustworthy man in this business, in my opinion:) I highly recommend his work for any projects you may have in mind!"

Customers say: Quality work

"North Star was hired for front and back yard landscaping. Darren does the design, estimates and project management, his wife Bernice handles the rest of business duties. They were both wonderful and I was impressed with the great suggestions and recommendations. They also arranged laborers to install the outdoor fireplace, masonry hardscape walkways and patios, landscape flora and plantings suggested. The laborers were competent and skilled at what they were doing. We are very satisfied with their beautiful work."

Patios questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, enclosing a patio to create a sunroom or three-season room is often a good idea that adds value to your home. This project increases your home's usable square footage and creates a versatile space for relaxing or entertaining that is filled with natural light and can be used in various weather conditions. Homeowners may see an average return on investment (ROI) of around 70%. The final value added will depend on factors such as the quality of the materials, the level of finish, and the amount of yard space that remains after the enclosure.

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.

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.

How many square feet a sheet of plywood can cover depends on the size of the plywood sheet. A 4x8 sheet of plywood covers 32 square feet, while a 5x5 sheet of plywood covers 25 square feet. The cost to board up a window with plywood or install plywood under a new roof will depend on the total size of the area.
