We called for an estimate for the patio, and our phone call was promptly returned, and an appointment was set up. Allen Broad arrived at the appointment on time, and spent a lot of time with us, going over what we wanted, and offered many useful options. He then went and accurately measured exactly what we would need. He then went out to his vehicle, and drew up a professional looking drawing, and gave us a price.
We decided to go with R. Broad, based on their superior reputation in this area. We did obtain two other quotes for this job, one being more expensive, and one less. Neither of the other concrete contractors gave us the impression that they were and quot;expertsand quot; in this type of application. NO Deposit was required for the job.
The crew arrived on the designated day, and we cannot believe the professionalism displayed while this work was done. They laid down a plywood path all the way from the road, back to the jobsite. NO Ruts left in the yard at all, and the back of the house was draped in plastic to protect the siding. The patio was done in one day, with a crew of about 7 guys.
The next day, they came back to complete the job, (saw cuts, staining,...).
The patio is stunning! Everything was done so meticulous. The owner, Bob, was on site from start to finish.
This has been a great experience. I can only say that if you want a professional job done, with no regrets, and want someone who knows what they're doing, go with R. Broad.
It may be a few more bucks then someone else, but you will end up being sorry if you don't choose R. Broad. We made that mistake seven years ago, using another local contractor, (Lund Concrete). Boy, was that a sorry mess. But that's another story...

My patio consists of 3 large steps down from my back door (my wooden deck used to be elevated) to the surface of the patio. The steps were installed in a separate pour (eg a dedicated trip from the concrete supply truck) so the very heavy steps and flat patio are separated by a thin expansion joint. This is the correct way to incorporate the large steps into the patio so there are not later issues with cracking at the stair/flat patio joint (which is much more likely to happen if the entire patio was made as a single pour if the patio was poured with a cheaper single concrete delivery). The 6 man crew was very friendly and productive and took care to not cause any unnecessary damage to my lawn and yard. The job was impressive to watch, my patio was installed in the afternoon as this was this crew's second concrete job that day. The first day after the pour someone came buy to pressure wash the deck, cut the joints and did the accent staining to my patio border. The second day after the pour the last guy sealed the concrete (I wasn't home for these last 2 visits but everything was smooth from my perspective) The guy who gave me the original quote was at my house on time and spent probably a half hour with me not only measuring the site, giving me his recommendations on color, size, etc, but also educated me on the concrete process and giving me some key things to ask and look for if I were to get competitive bids. I had a verbal quote from him a few hours after the visit and I had a paper quote in hand in one or two days. The quote I got was competitive to my other quote and was actually a bit lower in price. Due to the wet spring/summer we had to wait probably a month before they were able to get to my job, but the weather was not their fault, and in a way the fact that they are so busy is actually a testament to the quality of business that they are running. I'm a very satisfied customer, I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to have concrete work done.

The original job was for patio resurfacing about 6 years ago and we loved it. We had him come back to power wash and resurface it. It now looks beautiful again. He is dedicated to his work, timely, prompt and consciousness.

We specialize in building, and renovating/repairing decks. We no longer wash/stain decks. Recommendations are available.
"We had a tear off of a 30+ year old pressure treated deck and replaced it with Fiberon decking. Tim Dorner was exactly what you hope for when looking for a contractor. He helped us find just the right product we needed, he was professional, timely and has excellent communication with his customers. That leadership is also reflected in Tim’s crew. I couldn’t be more pleased with their craftsmanship. It is without hesitation I would highly recommend Dorner Decking for your decking job."

Patio Covers questions, answered by experts
Yes, professionals offer eco-conscious options that balance durability and sustainability.
An awning can last anywhere from five to 15 years and even longer sometimes. The life span of an awning depends on several factors, from its construction materials to the design and who installed it. Regular maintenance is also important here. Weather conditions also impact the life span of an awning. Choose high-quality materials and stay on top of maintenance tasks to extend longevity.
Awnings offer a number of benefits, including:
Reduced summer home cooling costs with lower solar heat gains
Protection from sun, rain, and snow damage
Increased curb appeal for your home
Keep in mind that awnings also have drawbacks, including the potential to reduce your view, block natural light, and create new occasional home maintenance needs.
Yes, you can replace just the fabric on an awning without having to replace the entire awning frame and hardware. This process will take a professional about one to two hours. If you want to DIY, it could take longer, especially for large or retractable awnings. Replacing the fabric on an awning can improve the look of your home and help naturally cool your interior and exterior spaces.
The longest-lasting awning materials include vinyl, polycarbonate, and polyester for their durability and cleanability. Other materials like canvas and metal can last a long time, but may wear out faster. The key to getting the longest life from your awning material is to maintain it properly by cleaning yearly, keeping debris from gathering on it, and protecting it during stormy weather or high winds by retracting it or moving it to a protected area.
