"TEMO was referred to us by one of the pool companies that we bid for our pool and patio project. I called on a Tuesday and the salesperson was there on Wednesday. The initial bid was provided on the spot, in a very well laid out and detailed format, which I like. Within a few days, a measure and design person came to the house to do all of the exact measures, as ours was a custom job. Shortly thereafter, we got a full set of drawings, including a 3D rendering, which helped us visualize the project. We paid our deposit and got a commitment for installation within 3 weeks, which happened (I wish we had the same performance from the company we chose to do our pool!). The workmanship and quality of materials is excellent. We could not be happier with our experience with TEMO. We work with a lot of contractor companies. TEMO is one of the best."
"Turf One was at our home a few years ago and did a fantastic job on our brick paver patio and landscaping! Called them again this year for additional paver work as well as a fall clean up and couldn't be happier with the results! Nice to have a company still in business doing such quality work."
"The company and crew were great. Everyone was very friendly and hard working. The owner Alexander was very responsive and knowledgeable. He was very good with pricing and getting us what we wanted. We love our new patio and are looking forward to using them in the future."
"Tom and his crew rebuilt our composite deck in the June-July 2018 time frame. We could not be happier with the job. The Built To Last crew was very professional and definitely went the extra mile to ensure that the rebuilt deck was better than new. Everything is very secure and tight. During the construction, Tom made several suggestions to keep the price down while not compromising quality and our satisfaction. Tom provided price transparencies for all materials. Greatly appreciated! We would definitely use Tom and his crew again. Highly recommend Built To Last Construction. Just as a note... this was a very large deck with a great deal of work."
"Austin Brick Pavers EXCEEDED my (high) expectaions. Not only do we have a BEAUTIFUL patio but the hard-working crew made every phase of this project pleasurable. They are hardworking, respectful and courteous. It was very interesting to watch them all work together in a seemless and harmonious manner, thus finishing our project in a timely manner. Each member (of this amazing crew), has been meticulously taught how to perform their trade with great excellence by Eric, the companies owner. Eric, is a good example to his crew. He is very "hands-on" and works hard right along-side them. He is VERY good at communication and design. Thank you Austin Brick Pavers. We know we will enjoy our BEAUTIFUL Patio for many years to come."

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.
Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.
Yes, it can be worth screening a porch if you live in an area with beautiful weather, since it allows you to enjoy your outdoor space longer in the spring and summer. The additional protected space may even attract more prospective buyers if you intend to sell—especially if you add seasonal features, like a ceiling fan for summer or a heater to winterize your screened porch.
The cost of winterizing a screened porch can vary depending on the chosen method and the extent of the modifications required. Simple options like installing vinyl panels or using vinyl sheeting tend to be more affordable, while creating a four season room can involve higher costs due to renovation expenses. It's best to consult with professionals or obtain multiple quotes to get an accurate estimate for your specific project.
