"I found him hard to work with (e.g. doesn't listen, pushy about doing it his way.) I was really hesitant after the estimate but he just kept pushing about it and I didn't have any other options - but I was sorry afterwards. I don't really like it, the quality doesn't seem great - but most important, it's not level. Drives me crazy and looks bad - just three panels and it's not level! Makes me nuts looking at it - feels like I threw my money away."

"Gary came out to provide an estimate for attic sealing and blow-in insulation. My goal is to improve my energy efficiency. He was timely and the cost is a great value. They are also part of Center Point Enegy's energy rebate program and agreed to help me through that process as well. The project took a bit longer than I anticipated, but the crew was courteous and did a great job."

"Pros of working with Nick: He was the cheapest of the three bids I got He finished 95% of the job, the structure was completed Cons of working with Nick: He did not follow through on commitments related to timing. Deck was supposed to be done Aug 2020 and was built April 2021. He did not finish the job (never caulked or completed boxes at base of posts). Told me he would do this Summer 2021 and never showed up. Gave him until August 2022 and then finished myself. Never knew if Nick would return my texts/calls. Sometimes he did and sometimes he chose to ignore. Details of work were sloppy in a number of places (ie lighting wiring very messy on underside, sizable gaps in some seams on posts, Trex screw cover plugs do not match boards in many places)"

Awnings questions, answered by experts

The longest-lasting awning materials include vinyl, polycarbonate, and polyester for their durability and cleanability. Other materials like canvas and metal can last a long time, but may wear out faster. The key to getting the longest life from your awning material is to maintain it properly by cleaning yearly, keeping debris from gathering on it, and protecting it during stormy weather or high winds by retracting it or moving it to a protected area.

It’s best to keep your awning retracted if winds are 25 miles per hour or more to make sure your awning doesn’t sustain irreparable damage due to wind. Some awnings can take winds up to 30 miles per hour without any damage, but it’s best to consult the manufacturer’s guidance. A good rule of thumb is if it’s too windy for you to comfortably stand outside, it’s time to bring the awning in.

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.

Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.

Minor fabric patching is DIY-friendly, but frame and mechanical repairs should be professionally handled.
