"Romeo did a fantastic job in constructing the concrete patio in my backyard - from the very beginning to the end. Besides the superior quality of the job, it has been a pleasant experience to work with him. He communicated with me promptly and effectively about the details of the project, the anticipated schedule. The specifics of the work and cost are in the signed agreement. I would give my strongest recommendation to anyone who may work with Romeo."
"I hired this company to do my landscaping and lay pavers. I am more than pleased how it turned out! I was hesitant to do my backyard but the pavers look great, I can’t wait to see the finished project! Definitely recommend this company, very professional and helpful."

"We are very satisfied with the work they did on our patio. They gave us a fair price and did a great job. The crew of 3 worked through some cold and wet weather conditions and even into the dark to finish. They showed outstanding work ethics. Definitely would recommend them."
"The crew that worked in my basement did an excellent job. It was hard, dirty work but they did it all without mess to my house or yard. The drainage works great and I now have a dry basement - great work!"
"It all started out well after purchase of the initial Angie's list deal. We promptly agreed on a date and a gentlemen came to measure and start the paperwork. Install date was set for 11/5/15. On 11/4, I was called about setting an install date. My response was I already had one for the next day. Long story short, the company did not bother to tell me they had cancelled my appointment, they just acted like I never had one. It was as though one side of the business did not know what the other side was doing. Since I made arrangements to be home on the 5th, I was not happy. We finally settled on the 12th and the installation went smoothly enough. However after completion, I noticed the installers had broken a piece of moulding in front of the patio door. I know they realized they cracked it because they used clear caulk as a fix. I called the company and they said they would replace. As of 11/30, the moulding still has not been replaced even though I was told the installer was picking up molding on 11/17. I will say the person who came to measure and the lady who did the follow-up calling were professional. However, I can't say the same for the install side. The contact person was nice enough but he did not contact me to say the install was cancelled and to me it's taking way too long to replace the molding the installers broke. I view it as a lack of integrity to cover up breaking the piece and not bothering to say anything to me. The patio door is beautiful and I had planned to purchase a front door from them but have changed my mind. "

In almost all cases, you will need permits if you plan on building a sunroom over your patio, but regulations and requirements will depend on your municipality. Permits to enclose your patio will usually cost between $300 and $1,000. Since navigating local building codes and zoning requirements is challenging—and the consequences of not following them can be extremely expensive—we strongly recommend hiring a sunroom builder to complete the work and pull the permits for you.
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.
