"We love our awning! The sales process was easy and covered all our questions. Jason made sure we understood our options, explained all the features, and showed us how it may look (virtually). Installation was quick and efficient. It was installed on time and works perfectly. Our deck space is now complete, functional and beautiful. The smart shades and lighting are fantastic!"
"Aden Delagrange and his construction crew did a great job on our porch project. They poured a new concrete pad, constructed a large pole-structure porch with standing seam metal roof, and installed a new patio french door. Through all this, Aden was very communicative and responsive to all my questions. He is easy to reach by phone. The crew is patient and spend time discussing the customer's options before beginning work. The project was completed on time and within budget. I have experience working with various contractors, and D&L impressed me with their quality of framing. Nothing was done sloppily or rushed. Everything was square, clean cut, and to our specifications. I would trust D&L to do any type of concrete, framing, or metal roofing project you may have. 5/5 stars."

I’m 36 year old, have been doing mainly industrial maintenance the past 6 years or so. Love fixing and putting together all kinds of different things. Not as experienced with home improvements but I have done my fair share, and am never afraid to take on a challenge. I can say that no matter what you throw at me, I will find a way to complete the job and make sure the customer is satisfied.
"I am terrible with names, but the sales guy came out and looked around the house, and gave us a rough estimate of under $20k to install vinyl siding, cover the trim with aluminum, retrim the windows, and install new gutters and downspouts. We told him we were interested in doing the project so he measured everything and provided us with a quote well under what he had originally estimated. He was able to help us finance most of the project. We picked out the colors of the siding and trim. He had several samples of the materials. He told us they may be able to squeeze us in in October but it may not be until December before they could get to us. They called us on a Thursday and told us to be ready for them on Monday. It took them 7 work days to finish the job. Half a day was lost to rain. We gave them a code to get into the garage to work. The house looks amazing. They even left us a sample of each material they used for color matching paint and such and 2 tubes of the caulk they used. I would definately hire them again."
"We had originally had All Weather Seal replace all of the windows in the house. They were very professional and performed an excellent service. Since they initially performed the install, any time we have needed them to perform a maintenance or other service call, they have done so promptly and done an excellent job each time. "
"Cory and team listened to what I was looking for and made great suggestions. I was kept up-to-date on supply issues. The team made helpful suggestions and was cognizant of our budget. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. They communicated professionally and never ghosted us - very professional and much appreciated!"
"John and everyone at A-1 Roofing are trustworthy and fair. This was an especially challenging situation for me since my home that got damaged is in Michigan and I am living in Florida. John responded so quickly when the tee went through the roof -- they did a quick repair to cover the hole before adjuster came out. John even met the insurance adjuster when he came to *****. John and all of his employees are easy to communicate with and do an amazing job -- can't recommend highly enough!"
"Seemed professional and well prepared with structural questions and concerns. Price was about 30 percent more than a price I was given last summer by another contractor we have used and liked. He wasn't available. A 35-40 thousand dollar addition seems to add about half the cost in value to home. My research indicates it takes a few years to capture that value. Patio work would also be required. More cost. A lot to consider, since we won't be here long term. Haven't 100 percent ruled it out. It's a budget issue."
Yes, you can install an awning yourself, and it can be an excellent DIY project with immediate benefits. This is most feasible for smaller, pre-assembled units. However, awnings are often heavy and awkward for one person to handle, so you should always have at least one helper. If you have difficulty lifting heavy objects, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper mounting and durability.
Costs range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.
You can start your search for a reputable patio company by finding providers in your area with positive ratings online and few, if any, complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Once you narrow down your search, contact the companies and ask for examples of their past work, as well as a list of references. The examples will show you the quality of the work you can expect and how professional the finished product will be, and contacting previous customers will give you an idea of the service you can expect throughout the process.
To ensure the installation process goes smoothly, it's wise to ask a potential pro several questions. Key topics to cover include:
Licensing and Insurance: Do you have a professional license and insurance to perform this work? This is crucial as installing an awning into a home's exterior can be a complex job.
Cost Estimate: What was the price of similar jobs you've completed? Awning installation costs can vary based on size, design, and location, so this helps establish a general price range.
Project Timeline: How long will this project take to complete? Getting an estimated timeline provides peace of mind, even though unforeseen hurdles can occur.
Building Permits: Will I need a building permit for this project, and who is responsible for obtaining it? An experienced local contractor will be knowledgeable about local rules and regulations.
References and Portfolio: Do you have references from previous clients or photos of completed projects? Speaking with past clients and seeing previous work can give you insight into their experience and the quality of their work.
