"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!!"
Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.
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.
Yes, adding a sunroom can increase your home's value, with a return on investment (ROI) ranging from 20% for a screen room to 50% for a three- or four-season room. The amount of value added depends on the design. Fully insulated, temperature-controlled four-season sunrooms add the most value as they can be included in the home's total living space. In contrast, simpler structures like Arizona rooms or solariums typically have a lower return as they don't count as legal living space. A high-quality sunroom can also be an attractive feature for potential buyers, especially those who enjoy gardening. The value may also be higher in warmer climates where this feature is more sought after. When deciding, consider both the potential resale value and the personal value you will get from using the room.
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.
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.
