eco renovationsMajor disappointment. Dale Felty, the company owner, was referred to me six weeks ago. Upon inspection of my project I was told 1) that he could get to the job within several weeks and 2) the cost would be $3,000. Four weeks ago I told him the site was ready, but he told me that he was still...
Glenn came out and gave us a great estimate and was back within 2 weeks to do the work. They tore up some of the front walkway and ground out mortar on the rest, relaid the bricks they tore up and cleaned up and put down new mortar on the entire thing. Walkway is sealed and looks like new! On...
We love this company. We had them manufacture and install a custom awning over our back patio about 10 years ago. They did a fabulous job and we loved the awning. Unfortunately, the Sunbrella fabric that we chose didn't stand up to the Arizona sun as well as it should, so we asked Tim to...

I was satisfied with the ACTUAL work that was done by the technician. My problem with this experience was it has taken a couple of months to get the ACTUAL work completed. Once everything was ordered correctly and the communication between management, sales and technicians were resolved,...
Styled Tile is my normal tile contractor, and my needs for this project matched up with a lull in their schedule so they took on the entire project. From start to finish it took about 2 weeks, but they didn't work on this non-stop every day. Since this was a rehab for rental, time wasn't...
Deans completed a stamped concrete patio for us. It turned out great. Joe Dean was easy to work with and always returned calls and emails.
In late 2013 we called and told them the patio glass has another problem. I called and talked to Carolyn and she said let me see if that manufacturer is still making that product. It is my understanding the glass is replaced no matter the timeline. Dave did call and say he was in the...
Steve came into the home, did a walk through with me, and then counted up all the receptacles and switches, and started installing the new ones with covers on them. I showed him some of our concerns and they was able to address each one of them for us and do the repair. Now we are also...

"The Salesperson (Stephen) is great to deal with, although, at times, very difficult to contact. This is understandable as he is not only managing his Employees but the Sales portion as well. The person who answered the phone when calling was, in my book, the worst Customer Service rep for this company anyone could hire. She was vague and told me lie after lie regarding many aspects of this project. That issue has been resolved. Fortunately, Stephen took care of our issue personally and all worked out for the best! The Installation crew (Rob and his 2 Assistants) were the best! They were cordial, knowledgeable and informed us with every aspect and any changes that needed to be made. They were awesome. In conclusion, Outdoor Installations came through with flying colors and would highly recommend."

"Starting with Dave Buschur and everyone involved in this project, they were very easy and professional to work with!! Buschurs removed an old screened-in patio and replaced it with a beautiful new three Season room. This required them to demolish the old room and remove the old concrete and replace it with new concrete. We also had additional concrete work done with the addition of a nice patio. Jake and the crew that installed the room were very professional and answered every question that we had. I'm a retired engineer and can tell you that this room was very well-engineered and the installation was spot on. Within the last couple of weeks we had carpet installed and the electrical installation was completed this week and was done to our specifications!! I would highly recommend this company for any Home Improvement project that you may have in your future!!"

We have an A+ Rating the BBB Our product has a beveled edge on the sides of our pan and deep grooves to match in the center offering a bead board look from underneath. We often hear people say "I didn't know they made them like that". It is that much different and that much nicer than the old style V and W pan awnings from 50 years ago that companies still offer. We have bigger posts and beams, for BIGGER spans and a more open unit. Our gutter is moved off the end of the pan allowing room to clean leaves and debris without removing the gutter or getting a coat hanger to clean it out. We are excited to announce that we have expanded our product lines and have added screen rooms, sun rooms, decks, railing and windows to better serve our Home Advisor customers and financing. (Ask for details) We strive to meet and exceed all of your expectations and look forward to meeting with you at your home or job site to offer a free layout and estimate. Thanks for considering Giant Factory Direct.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
The cost of an awning is $1,400 to $4,400 on average. However, this cost could be as low as $100 or as high as $7,500, depending on a few factors. The type of awning you choose, the size you need, and your location all affect your overall cost.
For example, portable awnings you can put up and take down yourself range from $100 to $400, whereas motorized awnings are more luxurious and cost between $2,000 and $3,500.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9 per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
Besides the type of awning, you’ll need to choose the type of cover. Your awning installation professional will review your options with you, including availability and costs. The types of covers you can choose from include:
Wood, which is durable but can be damaged easily by rainwater and fire
Cotton offers flexibility, weatherproofing, and easy cleaning
Canvas is highly durable and is a good choice for retractable awnings
Metal is sturdy but is prone to rust
Polyester is easy to clean and is a more breathable option
Polycarbonate is highly resistant to UV rays and is difficult to damage
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Retractable awnings add curb appeal and help keep the sun out of your eyes when you're working indoors or lounging on the back patio or deck. In this price guide, you'll learn how much retractable awnings cost.
