"It went amazing. Peter is a very professional, and personable. Not to mention hard working. He does exactly what you want, and listens to what you want. He will give his professional opinion to make sure that's what you want, for example, I wanted no slits between boards on my fence. I wanted complete privacy. Peter reminded of the winds, and that the wind needs some place to go or it will damage your fence. His insight made me realize that what I wanted, might not be the safest, long lasting solution, and if a big weather event happened, I may just lose my fence. I value his expertise. We are so very pleased with the fence. Just wish wood wasn't so expensive, or I'd have a deck by now too. Hire Peter and you won't be disappointed. He's a great communicator to. Always does what he says he's going to do."
"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!"
"I have used this company for several projects from having my downstairs floor redone my steps redone and my bathroom remodeled and he has done an amazing job at a very fair price every-time. He is very particular about the details and makes sure it is done right."
"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."
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.
Using concrete footers is the best way to secure a gazebo on a deck without drilling. The weight of the footers is more likely to hold your gazebo in place than other methods. You can also pour concrete into flower pots to create an aesthetically pleasing concrete footer or use concrete columns to make a statement.
Clean regularly, seal wood surfaces, and inspect for damage or rust to ensure longevity and safety.
The average cost to build or install a gazebo is around $5,700, with prices typically ranging from $3,000 to $10,000. The final cost depends on several factors, including the gazebo's size, shape, material, and design complexity. For example, square gazebos and those made from metal can be more expensive, while brick is a more affordable material. Adding custom features like built-in seating or lighting will also increase the price. You can potentially save money by purchasing a prefabricated kit or performing some of the labor yourself.
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.
