"We had to tear down our old, rotten deck and build a new one with a couple improvements. We had a clear idea of what we wanted to do, but there were some challenges. We wanted a pergola to cover part of the deck, but the clearance from the roof was going to make it tough. We also wanted to replace a window with a slider door and on our old, 1905 house, we expected some trouble there. Robert was excellent to work with. He took the time to go through our plan and came up with great solutions to maximize the height of the pergola and offered suggestions to make the whole construction better than we had imagined it. His team was great and the quality of the work is apparent. The end result was a beautiful and very solid deck that has really transformed our backyard. Throughout the process Robert was transparent and communicative. We would recommend him highly and look forward to working with him again."

THERE IS ONLY ONE BEST!!! You've made the decision to improve your home by adding an exterior living space. You want that space to not only be beautiful and durable but to compliment your lifestyle at a price you can be thrilled about. I've always taken decks seriously and hated ruining the look of my decks by driving nails or screws to the top surface. I looked at every product on the market to solve this dilemma and realize they were all garbage. Now there's a great option, my patented hidden deck fastening system. it provides a strong durable connection which expands and contracts with any decking material in all weather conditions. It self-spaces and aligns your deck so that over the lifetime of your deck it remains looking brand new. It would be great to be involved with your project from the start, we will professionally designed schedule and complete your exterior living space to incorporate any and all amenities and provide your home with an added value and enjoyment you anticipated.
"Very detail oriented and good customer service."

"Had these guys put on a new roof. Roof leaked, toxic black mold where it’s leaked with ceiling damage in one of our bedrooms. Been 3 weeks since they came out to survey the damage. They’ve told me they subbed out the roof to someone else when they did it and they’ve let the other company know. I've inquired a few times and they keep telling me they reached out to the other company to let them know. Basically passed us off and we’re up a creek with toxic black mold."

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.
