"We had a courtyard built in the front of our house. Stone pavers were installed and a stuccoed wall was built to enclose the courtyard.. Any issues with the construction were immediately and professionally addressed. We are very happy with the results and would recommend this company."
"Work started on time and was completed in 6.5 hours, including cleanup. The work crew performing the work was extremely professional and cleaned up and the work progressed. Jerome is very good about explaining the process and when things will occur. We've used Alliance before for a patio, patio cover and new driveway. We're very happy with how the work is performed and the finished product. Great to work with!"
"I was very pleased with the work they did this morning. It was fast and I had time before going to work. I can maintain the back yard now. Would be interested in replacing my gravel soon. Thank you again! 😊"
"We love working with Summersweet. Eric and his crew and so great to work with. They are hard workers, extremely detail oriented, very friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is exactly the way we wanted it to be. We used Summersweet for our original landscaping of a new home and were so happy with the results and competitive prices that we've hired them for 6 or 7 smaller jobs at our home over the past 5 years. We have been impressed every time and I have recommended Summersweet to every friend and family member that needs landscape work done."
""The Sombrero Construction company does excellent work and has a customer service focus that is head and shoulders above the competition. Very pleased with the work, the service, and the cost.""
"They were great! They came on time, worked in a timely manner, and left the area clean and in great shape. Ernie and his crew were professional and personable. I plan to use them again."
"This company is the best! Chris worked well with us and our insurance. Rubin and Erik did an excellent job on our patio! I love it! Give them a call if you need a new patio roof with lots of features!"
"Very pleased with work Gus did. He was involved with much of the work himself. Quick demolition, nice job on new patio. Came out several times to prepare concrete for sealing. Used 2 coats to seal slab. He will also be installing a patio cover for me in the next month."
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.
If you want to hire a professional to build a screened-in porch, a local sunroom or porch contractor is your best bet. If you can't find a local sunroom builder, another option is to consider hiring a general contractor to perform the work.
If you're handy, you may consider building the porch yourself. Before you do so, make sure you understand the local permit requirements and building codes so that you don't have any problems with the safety or structure of the porch.
The life span of your solarium will depend on the materials used and how much wear and tear the room experiences from the inside and from the outside due to weather. On average, you can expect your solarium to last anywhere from 10 years to 50 or more. In rare cases, such as with old estates, solariums can last over 100 years.
Building a sunroom is usually less expensive than the cost of building a home addition, but it depends on the type of sunroom. A four-season sunroom will cost more than a home addition because it’s basically a home addition with larger, more expensive windows. All other types of sunrooms will be more affordable than a home addition of an equivalent size because they don’t have insulation, heating, cooling, electrical connections, or plumbing.
A professional can design and construct sunrooms or patio enclosures that meet structural standards, optimize environmental conditions, and integrate seamlessly with existing architecture. This ensures the project enhances home value and provides long-term enjoyment.
