"Zach arrived on time and completed 98% of the task I had outlined. He will be returning next week to finish hanging the bar light fixture and another kitchen fixture. I had ordered extra parts to complete this and he will finish up as soon as I receive the parts. Zach went above and beyond performing these tasks for me. He left all work areas in immaculate condition. My only regret is that he can not help finish everything I need to get my house ready for sale."
"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"
"It has worked out so well for me and my family. And yeah, please do it all day. Please let me know if I can help. Please let me know when I get home, and I will be home in the next few days. Please let me know when I can get you. Please let me know when I get back. Please let me know if I need anything else. Please let me know if I can get you a text or text me or text or call me when I can."
"This was an excellent experience from the first conversation through the final “thank you” to them for doing an awesome job in a very professional, efficient and customer service-oriented way!"
"We have an approximate 200 square foot porch that needed to be enclosed on one side. For such a small space, it wasn't worth spending a lot of money for a four seasons porch. Porch Conversions' product was the next best thing at less than half the cost. We did an inordinate amount of research into their product and even visited the owner's premises to see it. Not surprisingly, the product is exactly as it is described. Its installation was even better. As the perfectionists we are, we were concerned about how it would be installed, and It was exceptionally well done. It meets absolutely all of our expectations, and with the warranty that goes with this product, a true evalutation of its quality, we never expect to have anything replaced."
"They never returned our call. Our neighbors have had work done & heard that Outdoor Artisans no longer work in SC. Not sure if this is true but we were disappointed because we did like the work done at 2 of our neighbor's houses. Rated a B rating because they appear to do good work ?"
"It all went very well. I called Jim on Monday, Tuesday he had a guy come give me an estimate and by Wednesday at noon the work was done. The crew was nice and did a great job installing the covers and replacing my damaged gutter. They explained why the gutters they replaced were holding water -- poor installation by builders -- and actually adjusted the alignment of my other gutters to optimized the water flow. I didn't even know I had misaligned gutters. All in all I am a satisfied customer."
"Was a BIG job! David and crew did excellent work. Painted all interior walls, trim and some ceilings. In fact, we have hired him to return late spring to paint the exterior and garage walls."
Clean regularly, seal wood surfaces, and inspect for damage or rust to ensure longevity and safety.
Porticos last 25 to 60 years, depending on the material used. A portico’s roof typically matches the roof of the rest of the home and can be replaced simultaneously. Portico columns have a similar life span if properly maintained and regularly sealed. In some areas, harsh weather and extreme temperatures may cause a portico to wear more quickly.
On average, building or installing a gazebo costs around $5,700, with a typical range between $3,000 and $10,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the gazebo's size, shape, material, and design complexity. Material choice is a significant cost driver; for example, brick is often more affordable, while metal can be one of the more expensive options. Square-shaped gazebos can also be more expensive to build. Custom features, such as built-in seating or lighting, will increase the total price. You may be able to save money by purchasing a prefabricated gazebo kit or performing some of the labor yourself.
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.
To make the gazebo accessible, you can build a wheelchair pathway leading up to it. The path should be paved with a smooth surface for wheelchairs to roll through. A low curb should be placed along each side to ensure the wheelchair stays on the path. At the end of the path, build a wheelchair ramp connecting the gazebo.
