37 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, LLCWe worked with SpaceTurtle to add a screened-in porch to the back of our house, replacing a small patio. The addition has quickly become a favorite place to hangout for the family. We couldn't be happier with the result, and I'm still impressed with the craftsmanship and attention to detail...
In all honesty, there were a few times where communication took a bit longer than expected, but the work they performed was top notch. I'm very happy I was recommended their service from a friend. Matt took my small idea and brought it to my yard, he really went above and beyond with the...
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...
I hired Daryl Walker doing business as Dassoc Painting, LLC, 409 Meadow Lane, Somerset, Wisconsin, for an exterior painting job during the summer of 2015. A former business name was Appalachian Painting. My wife and I are extremely dissatisfied with his work. Unfortunately, we did not begin...
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 CONTROLHe 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...

Dupont Decks is a family-owned business that was founded by Justin Dupont in January 2000. Justin worked for many years as a crew foreman for other construction and remodeling companies and noticed that most of the companies lacked in the area of communication and customer service. Being a homeowner himself, he knew that customer service and communication were two of the most important qualities needed in running a successful remodeling business. And so Dupont Decks was created. We take great pride not only in our excellent craftsmanship, unique custom building and design process and high quality materials, but also in the fact that we treat our customers just like we would want to be treated if we were doing a deck or porch project on our own home. We know that our customers are the most important part of our business. If you are considering doing a deck or porch project on your home, we invite you to call our office today for a free estimate and we thank you for considering us for your home improvement project. We are happy to offer Senior Citizens (age 65+) and Military Service Members a 5% discount on services with a max cap of $500 on this discount.
"Dupont Decks was amazing to work with. From the quote to scheduling to inspection everything went by without a hitch. They were fast and the outcome is just what I envisioned. Very happy with Dupont's entire team"

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.
Vinyl is a durable and relatively inexpensive choice of decking material. Your vinyl deck cost will depend on labor, the deck size, and more.
When calculating the cost to add an awning to a home exterior, you will need to consider the awning type, necessary materials, and whether or not you will need a pro to handle the installation. This guide will illustrate typical awning prices.
Pergolas and gazebos are both popular choices for shade and sun protection. Learn whether a pergola vs. gazebo is the right choice for you, depending on the size of your lawn and whether you want a classic or modern design.
