"We bought a new house that had no landscaping in the front of the house and the grass was not doing well. Carolina Creations came in and completely redid our whole front landscape - new plants and grass. I love the plants Ricky chose. He is very knowledgeable about what will work and look good now and years down the road. They also installed a patio surrounded by a retaining wall in the back which we also really love!"
"I was really pleased with their service. Austin stopped by and took a good look at the grounds. He gave his personal and professional recommendation. I gained a lot of knowledge from him about landscaping. I will see them again in the fall for more work that needs to be done. I can’t wait!"
"I had a fantastic experience with NC Deck and Railing. My team was Steven, Paula, Rosss and Brian. They were polite, trustworthy and easy to contact. Steven and Ross both made sure we were all on the same page every step of the way. The installers were meticulous in their work on this project. The new railing turn out wonderful. The product is very well made. I would highly recommend NC Deck and Railing it is a top notch company!"
"Looking for a reliable contractor for fencing, deck work and so much more? Forrest is incredibly honest, upfront, and offers reasonable prices. They recently completed a fence and deck project for us, and the results were phenomenal. Despite a few challenges along the way (we have a difficult yard), Forrest kept us informed every step of the way. Definitely a small business worthy of support and we will definitely be using them in the future."
"Martin and his crew were excellent! We got a paver patio with a knee wall and piers. We could not have been happier with the finished product. Will be recommending Cruz Hardscapes to any and all friends and family who want work done!"
"Nick and his team were very professional and completed the job ahead of schedule. His pricing was very competitive and the job was scheduled and completed quickly. More importantly, Nick takes the time to talk to you about the job, any potential issues he sees, and prices his job accordingly. I'll continue to use N. Edwards Enterprises for any home improvement needs."
"I hired Cliff to create an office space from my dining room. Not only does he appear to be a genuinely good guy, he and his team did a fantastic job! I know have an enclosed, serene office space to work from home in. The job was done quickly and efficiently and everyone involved was very approachable and friendly to work with. Pricing was fair and transparent. He is very good with communication which is something I've found lacking with other contractors I've worked with. I plan on hiring him for another project as well. I definitely recommend him!"
"I have a 7'X 28' front porch & I wanted a 4' deck to wrap around 3 sides of that porch. I initially received 4 quotes. Roc's quote was the lowest of the 4, which initially bothered me a bit. But I got to see pictures of his previous work and he was even willing to take me to an existing customer to see his work. We didn't get that far because I gave him the job anyway. Roc is a very likable guy and is very upfront and honest about his company & methods. Roc & his crew always showed up when expected and they always plunged in and got straight to work, many days battling extreme N.C. heat & humidity. I would like to have seen a little more attention to detail regarding the finish and trim toward the end of the job, but I really can't complain about the deck. The finished product is beautiful and we find ourselves sitting out on the porch from the evening to late at night. I got a beautiful deck for a wonderful price. Thank you Roc & your team!!"
"Prompt, knowledgeable about the job,experienced, hardworking crew,. Did a superior job on my deck and fence,and did it quickly. Cleaned up after themselves. Excellent pricing on the job. Would certainly use this business again!"
Fascia and soffits differ in their location and design, but fascia vents are the most popular alternative to soffits. These are a bit more hidden than soffits, but depending on the structure of your roof, they can cost more to install and maintain. They are also installed around the entire roof, whereas soffits can be placed only where you need them or, if the aesthetics bother you, somewhere out of sight.
Clean regularly, seal wood surfaces, and inspect for damage or rust to ensure longevity and safety.
For many people, a gazebo is worth it, but it’s a matter of personal preference. If you love spending time outside but your yard doesn’t offer much protection from the sun or rain, then adding a gazebo might be worthwhile. Or, if you enjoy hosting dinner parties and want a nice outdoor space to gather with your friends, a gazebo could be a good investment.
Yes, many gazebos are permanent structures built onto the land. However, if you have a portable gazebo that isn’t secured to the ground, you’ll want to check the manufacturer’s instructions to understand when to put it away. Generally speaking, when it’s particularly windy or wet outside, you should take down your temporary gazebo.
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.
