"Remarkable the best landscape experience in years. Six acres of leaves when they arrived at 8am and a beautiful totally manicured look at 6pm. We have a large property for 25 years and this is the best clean up ever. Russ is.professional thorough curtious and pleasant. Iwould recomend him to anyone. AAA experience."
"Patio Enclosures was fantastic, the subcontractors that came to do the job were not. However, Patio Enclosures sent two Field Supervisors over to spend and entire day addressing all of our concerns. Overall, their customer service is what made us happy with this project and we absolutely love our 3-season room!"
"Tom brings a level of expertise to the job that any homeowner would be happy with, originally the contract was for shadow box fence and paver patio , upon tearing out the existing pad there was extensive damage found to the foundation where the water had been pooling. Tom was able to have a structural engineer out the same day to inspect and come up with a plan to fix the foundation. This is just one amazing experience iv had with Tom and I highly recommend anyone to use G and T for any of there home needs."
"Well it has been many years since we hired a professional such as Romeo. Honest, efficient with strong work ethics. Great respect to our property and our neighbors. An absolute pleasure. Made our dreams of a sound patio a reality. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Alma & Laura"
"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."
"We had a FANTASTIC experience working with Mario and his team creating a bathroom (from scratch!) in our upstairs bedroom. Mario is ALWAYS on time, responsive to questions, and incredibly kind. His work is impeccable, and his attention to detail incomparable .Our bathroom looks like an upscale spa. We have since called him for other projects around our house because we know how wonderful, smart, and trustworthy he and his team are! We HIGHLY recommend him!"
"I needed help with a roof/gutter ice jam and Buffalo's Best Roofing was outstanding in helping in my situation. Arianna & Austin wanted to help me and they did!!!. Shane & Frank that were here to help me did a great job to help me and cared about my well being. Would use this company again in the future.
Thanks Hazel"
"I love the fact of owners we on site and actually doing the work. They are very professional and get the job done in a very timely manner. I purchased a stamped patio 2 levels, added a fire pit along with an edge for planting flowers. It couldn't have turned out any more perfect than it did. I love It!!"
A prefab sunroom will last for between 10 and 20 years in most cases, although you could get up to 50 years out of a high-quality prefab sunroom. In addition to material quality, your prefab sunroom’s lifespan will depend on the foundation type and the climate in your area. Extreme weather and expansive soil can decrease the expected life.
The cost to screen in a porch depends on whether you are adding screens to an existing structure or building a new one from scratch. Adding screens to an existing porch costs about $5 to $7 per square foot, with a national average cost of around $2,800. For example, screening a 12-by-12-foot (144-square-foot) porch would likely cost between $700 and $1,000. If you are building a new screened-in porch, the cost is substantially higher. A new 12-by-12-foot screened-in porch can cost between $6,400 and $18,300, while a new 14-by-16-foot one averages around $11,000. The final price will vary based on the size of the porch, labor costs, and the materials you choose.
A Florida room is a home addition that has finished walls with windows lining the perimeter, while a screened-in porch, also known as an Arizona room, lacks windows and instead has screens to maintain constant ventilation. Florida rooms provide longer enjoyment throughout the year because they’re closed off and will naturally get heated from the sun, while a screened-in porch will just be the same temperature as the ambient air.
A screened-in porch can add value to your home, but it won’t count toward the total square footage at an appraisal or when it comes time to sell. A screened-in porch is not fully enclosed, usable year-round, insulated, or heated or cooled, so it doesn’t meet the requirements of livable square footage in most locations.
If you’re trying to decide between a sunroom and a screened-in porch, the right choice will depend on your priorities. A screened-in porch costs only a fraction of the price of a sunroom, but in exchange, it has much more limited use. A sunroom will add more value to your home, but at a much higher up-front cost and longer construction timeline.
