"Tom and his crew did a phenomenal job on a stamped and colored patio in my backyard. They were professional and had great communication. I highly recommend Patios Plus to anyone looking for a patio or driveway!"
"Scott and Adrian did a beautiful job on my porch, gazebo, deck, stairway, and patio. They power washed and stained these areas. People have commented that the boards look like new. I’m very pleased and would highly recommend them."
"My husband and I somehow have energy bills that are much higher on average than our neighbors according to the energy company. So we're interested in adding insulation to our home and possibly replacing some windows plus two patio doors. Before spending the money, we thought it would be smart to do a home energy audit first to see if it is worth the investment. We are generally comfortable in our home, but it seems we are overpaying to keep it that way.
There are several energy audits offered by Excel, which is what we were initially going to have done. However, my husband was referred by a colleague to Hoffman Weber Construction who had some attic insulation put in his home by the company over the winter. Since they offered free estimates and we heard the work was done well (he told my husband his bills have significantly improved), we scheduled an appointment to them to come out and give us a quote.
A gentleman from the company called to confirm the appointment and my husband asked what they do specifically to know how much insulation is needed. He told him he typically starts with a consultation and asks questions to determine why we believe insulation is needed, then checks for moisture issues and performs and attic inspection. My husband asked about the Excel Energy audit, and the guy mentioned their company is putting together a new service that is very similar and offered us the program for free if we'd allow them to do our inspection as training for some of their reps. We agreed and had them come over yesterday to do everything.
They started with a blower door test which helps determine how much air our home is leaking, which was a shocking amount (81 inches - basically like a big hole in the wall we can't see). One gentleman who seemed to be the most knowledgable of the group showed us how it takes the measurements and explained everything very well. They went around with what looked like speed detection guns, but were used to show infrared. They figured out that our electric fireplace chimney had a significant issue that could be resolved with some insulation. They also showed us how much air each bathroom fan and air duct was actually flowing out compared to what is code. Overall, it was very educational for my husband and I and every person that involved from Hoffman Weber was courteous and respectful. They gave a quote on the insulation and windows, and we are currently looking into financing options. When/if we are able to afford it, we will be delighted to have this company come back out for the actual projects."
"Upon the completion of the project, I eagerly gave Tom and ACT Landscaping a very good review. I was happy overall with the finished project and Tom?s communication skills. Unfortunately, I am going to have to revise my review due to his lack of communication AFTER the project was completed and my review was already submitted.
During the project, Tom was always reachable and he responded timely to my concerns whether it was through text, email or phone. After the project was completed, it became almost impossible to get him to respond and take action to solve an unexpected erosion issue. The warranty clearly states that they will repair any patio as a result of normal wear and tear for a period of one year.
After only four months, one corner of the patio eroded to expose the edging and stakes. The first time, Tom sent someone out to add dirt to the area. A few days later after a rainstorm, the area eroded again. I emailed Tom and asked for a more permanent solution to the erosion issue, and he replied that he was going to take care of it. I waited a good three weeks and there was no response. I emailed him again, and he said he was busy with another project and would come out the following week.
I waited another two weeks and then called him directly. There was no response so I left a voice message. I waited for him to call me back, but he didn?t. A couple days later, I left another voice message. Now, it?s been two months, and he hasn?t called, emailed or texted me. There is now snow on the ground. At this point, I don?t know if it is worth it to pursue this any further. It is a waste of my time and resources to try to get a response from this company. This project cost me thousands of dollars. Clearly, they are only responsive when they need the rest of the payment. Once the job is done, they feel they have no more reason to address concerns. After this experience, I will definitely not recommend ACT Landscaping to anyone. "

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.
Yes, you can build a sunroom addition to your home despite living in a cold climate. Make sure to use high-quality insulation and windows and to supplement with sufficient heating from your HVAC system. The windows in the sunroom allow enough natural light into the room to help heat it most times without having to use the furnace. Even a small electric fireplace can heat the sunroom well enough.
Yes, a sunroom will require a permit. You may just need a general construction permit for a screened-in porch or solarium. For a three-season room with electricity and a four-season room with electric, heating, and cooling, you’ll need additional permits for each of the utilities, as well as a roofing permit.
