"Chris and his team were efficient and professional. My retractable awning installation was in a tricky spot, but they confidently got the job done. My awning is beautiful and made a tremendous difference in my yard! I highly recommend Surfside Awning!"
"Luigi Masonry did an excellent job removing and replacing our concrete sidewalk in Corona, Queens, on a busy street. The entire process was fast, seamless, and carried out with great attention to the safety of residents and neighbors. Despite the challenges of working in a high-traffic area, Luigi and his team handled everything with professionalism and care. We’re so glad we chose them—they were detail-oriented, efficient, and truly exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend their services!"
"We hired Bobking to do our driveway and patio, and some roofing work. They are a very professional and hardworking team. Very happy with the work done by Bobking. Will recommend 100%."
"Our driveway came out beautifully! People are complimenting the job left and right. JG landscaping was wonderful to work with. They were prompt, honest, and explained everything along the way. I would upload pictures but it won’t let me attach to the review. I hired them to do more landscaping and would highly recommend!"
"I got exactly what I asked for, and these days, that rarely happens. We're very pleased with our beautiful new patio. Sunny made sure everything was done right, and the crew cleaned up everything after the work was done. Solid, dependable, lovely work. Planning to hire them again for driveway and walkway work."
"Salesman came called to let me know he was coming. He explained all my options and was patient even though family member did not like my choice of fabric pattern. He took measurements. After the ordered fabric was received, the fellows came to install framing when they said they were coming. Then they remeasured to make sure awning would fit properly. I was told that another support pole should be installed and the fabric is ready to be sewn. They would be back in a couple of days to install the awning. When they returned a couple of days later they had the sewn awning and the additional support for the awning. Each appointment was kept timely. The awning looks great!"
"We recently hired Long Island Mason and Concrete to remove our blacktop driveway and install a concrete driveway, add a concrete walkway and remove and replace our patio. I am so happy with the work that was performed by Tommy and his crew, all his employees are so professional, respectful, and really know what they are doing. I was so impressed by their work ethic and knowledge of their craft. Tommy was easy to work with, we made a few changes to the project and Tommy and the team were able to pivot and accommodate all our requests with no problem. Our job was able to start early and Long Island Mason and Concrete was able to work alongside our other contractors without any problems. I would not hesitate to call Tommy again if I need any mason work done."
"This was our second time using US Home Remodeling, and Bob Stang and Joe Fiore specifically. We are as happy with the work as we were the first time around. The project was handled professionally from sale to finish. Joe and Bob are both reliable, flexible, responsive and rational guys who are easy to deal with and made sure that everything was handled appropriately. The workers and subs (electrical) are polite and good at what they do. Joe ensured that all adjustments and detailed requests along the way were taken care of to our satisfaction. During the project we questioned our initial plans to use Azek for siding instead of brick but Joe counseled us to stick with it and we are happy that we listened. The trim work on the outside is beautiful. The exposed beams and woodwork on the inside are also great and add a lot of character. We have now a lovely sunroom and an outdoor dining space which our house did not have before. We recommend Bob and Joe, and US Home Remodeling, fully and will be reaching out to them for any future remodeling needs."
"Extremely professional, very thorough in explaining the process. Brought my siding back like new. And my brick patio and walkway as well. I highly recommend this company. I will only use them when needed again."

How many square feet a sheet of plywood can cover depends on the size of the plywood sheet. A 4x8 sheet of plywood covers 32 square feet, while a 5x5 sheet of plywood covers 25 square feet. The cost to board up a window with plywood or install plywood under a new roof will depend on the total size of the area.
The average cost to enclose a patio to create a sunroom is around $5,000, and prices generally range from $3,000 up to $10,000. The price you pay will depend on the state of your patio and whether it needs repairs or additional structural support, the quality of the materials you choose, the size of your patio, and whether you plan to run utilities into and finish the sunroom. The price for a fully finished patio enclosure could run up to around $20,000, while you might pay just $2,500 for a screened-in porch.
Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.
Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.
There are many materials to choose from, including picket fencing, wood slats, galvanized metal skirting, dog-ear fence panels, scallop wood fence panels, bamboo screens, and other decorative screens. You can search for materials at local big box stores like Home Depot or scour online home improvement sites. Good search terms to use are fencing, skirting, and privacy panels.
