38 I was so appreciative of their willingness to help me create! They have an eye for detail. We started from scratch with a blank canvas of a backyard, and we made a beautiful patio and dog park for my dogs. I had ideas of things I wanted but Ross very kindly let me know how his way would be...
Northern Outdoor Services, LLCThis is a company you can trust to call you back, come on time and do quality work at a competitive price.

Excellent! We had two previous movers back out once they saw the size and quantity of items to be moved. One of those movers recommended we contact Nick at Robinson Moving. I called Nick the next day. He sounded very nice on the phone and was not short with me like the previous movers. He...
Had dozens and dozens of wasps swarming around our house and patio in late summer--they were not aggressive, only one sting, but it was worrisome--I would typically kill a dozen or so with a flyswatter in a matter of 30 minutes or less--but they would just keep coming. Called Paffys, set an...
PAFFY'S PEST CONTROLDesign was fabulous and the designer was great to work with. However right from the beginning we had settling issues. They offered a 3 year warranty and did come to service it, though in every case it took at least 3 attempts to get a call back. After the warranty expired we started paying...
He was great. Genuinely. Knew his stuff. He knew that the newer models of our fireplace had recognized the same issue we were having and he moved the box that was measuring temperature. Rather than requiring us to purchase a new unit (which was a bit melted looking) he replaced the cover...
Fireplace Doctor LLCThe weather was very wet during the two months he spent on the yard. To start with, communication was good and the yard and building was torn up quickly. Rain intervened, but a couple weeks later, the contractor was able to work on the patio and retaining wall. The contractor was not...

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
The cost of an awning is $1,400 to $4,400 on average. However, this cost could be as low as $100 or as high as $7,500, depending on a few factors. The type of awning you choose, the size you need, and your location all affect your overall cost.
For example, portable awnings you can put up and take down yourself range from $100 to $400, whereas motorized awnings are more luxurious and cost between $2,000 and $3,500.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9 per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
Besides the type of awning, you’ll need to choose the type of cover. Your awning installation professional will review your options with you, including availability and costs. The types of covers you can choose from include:
Wood, which is durable but can be damaged easily by rainwater and fire
Cotton offers flexibility, weatherproofing, and easy cleaning
Canvas is highly durable and is a good choice for retractable awnings
Metal is sturdy but is prone to rust
Polyester is easy to clean and is a more breathable option
Polycarbonate is highly resistant to UV rays and is difficult to damage
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Retractable awnings add curb appeal and help keep the sun out of your eyes when you're working indoors or lounging on the back patio or deck. In this price guide, you'll learn how much retractable awnings cost.
