"Father Paver did a highly professional and superb job build an in-ground firepit and patio for my yard. They were very meticulous to meet my specifications and expectations and it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend them, and I intend on using them in the new year for follow-on work in other parts of my property."
"Amazing work. From start to finish everything was above and beyond. We loved the first patio job so much we had them back to install a second patio walkway."
"Tim re-installed patio brick pavers and step in backyard area which had sunk over the years. Very professional, workers showed up when promised, competitive pricing, removed debris from patio tear out and re-finishing."
"We had a specific plan of what we thought we wanted and John listened and then made some very good suggestions. In addition to front yard landscaping he installed a concrete patio and walkway in the back yard. Very professional job."
"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."
"Yard Works does fantastic work. They are detail-oriented, thoughtful and easy to work with! We had them install a concrete paver patio for us among other tasks in our garden and we are very happy with how it turned out. We look forward to having them help us with future projects!"
"It went fantastic! I found Eric thru Angies list and had met with many companies. I knew right away we would go with Austin brickpavers. He was the only person who quoted us who actually had artistic ideas beyond a square standard patio, and was easy to talk to and quick to communicate with. He was fairly priced. We had a setback due to a flood and had to delay our project for a year. I saved our plans and we had the work done last week. The crew came and worked quickly, efficiently, and were all very kind and pleasant. The project only took a few days, and they cleaned up after themselves. My neighbor called me to tell me she was jealous of my beautiful patio. Everybody who has seen it is very impressed. I am so happy we were finally able to do this project and I feel we found the perfect company to have do it."
"We worked with Bret to receive a quote. Bret was very thorough, responsive, punctual, and professional. We ended up narrowing the scope down and thus their quote was a little higher, but I will contact A-1 again in future for other work."
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.
A lanai is a covered patio with open walls, while a Florida room has sides made of mesh screens or windows, with or without partial low walls. In addition, lanais often use concrete or other patio flooring, while Florida rooms may have more indoor-style flooring like tile or wood. Both allow you to enjoy the outdoors without being in the direct sun, but a lanai doesn’t offer any barrier against insects or debris.
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.
The average cost to screen-in your patio ranges from $2,000 to $4,000. How much you spend depends on the size of your patio, the materials used, and construction complexity. Some patio screen room kits are easy to DIY, but you may need to hire a local screened-in porch builder and obtain permits for more complex designs.
A Florida room doesn’t have insulation, nor is the space heated, so in most cases, the room won’t be comfortable enough to use during the winter months. A four-season room, which is like a Florida room that’s insulated, heated, and cooled, is a better option if you’re looking to enjoy your sunroom all year long.
