"Had a difficult application installing on our patio. Marygrove made it right by sending down an employee from their Michigan headquarters. Couldnâ t be happier with the product and the service we received."
"Dario did a superb job laying out the patio. It looks great. The quoting process was thorough. The only item we had a disappointment with was the timeliness of the job and when he said he would come and the actual time."
"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."
"Design One did an amazing job with releveling the patio. Our patio was unbalanced in multiple places and now it feels like we have a completely new patio. The team also communicated well around the timeline of the project."
"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."
"Tony did an excellent job repairing my porch! He was professional, arrived on time, and paid great attention to detail. The quality of his work exceeded my expectations, and the porch looks sturdy and looks great again. He was friendly, efficient, and cleaned up everything before he left. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable handyman. I’ll definitely be calling him again for 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."

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.
A screened-in porch can add value to your home, but it won’t count toward the total square footage at an appraisal or when it comes time to sell. A screened-in porch is not fully enclosed, usable year-round, insulated, or heated or cooled, so it doesn’t meet the requirements of livable square footage in most locations.
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.
Prefab kits like a small sunroom for around $20,000 or even a basic gazebo roof for as little as $60 can save you big over professional installation. However, you lose the option for customization, and these structures tend not to last nearly as long. As for bigger projects like a deck or patio, you shouldn’t go with the DIY route unless you’re fully prepped with the tools and know-how to get it done right. Mistakes can be frustrating and costly, so choose a pro if you’re looking to eliminate your risk of error.
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.
