"Tim Hubbard is a specialist at doing these projects. He did a perfect job installing our pergola and at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this company!"
"We hired System Pavers to install a new outdoor patio in our backyard. Austin was amazing! He was very attentive to what we wanted and worked with us to project end and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a new outdoor patio."
"I was very happy and impressed with Alex and his work. His communication with me was awesome. He fixed a broken sprinkler for me in no time at all! He was very friendly and knows his job. I would with no doubt hire Alex again with no hesitation!"
"Brad was great to work with. He did an amazing job with the patio, from the footings, stem walls and fill that was needed (as the patio was raised) to the custom concrete stairs with LED lighting. Communicated every step of the way, was fair with his prices and the work was top notch. Have referred him to others and will be my first call for next time."
"Fantastic! Highly recommend Travis and team! Worked with us in a big way to meet our quick deadline! Communication was awesome! Thank you FoxHound Construction! Will use you again and again!"
"Jerome and April were always very considerate, excellent craftsman, cleaned up daily and was on schedule considering the March weather. Our deck of 1700 sq ft was a difficult project and they and their crew made sure everything was correct and used only the best quality cedar. Over the years we have had similar projects on our prior homes and this is the fined workmanship we have ever had. You will never regret having them complete your project"
"I had collected about three or four different estimates and Tim's price was lowest. I determined to see why it was lowest and see if I could endure that. Instead, what I discovered is Tim's job was way more than anybody else was offering instead of setting a 6 inch beam in my Spa slab. He said a 12 inch beam and he increased the rebar to half inch. But it really impressed me was another job he did for me on the sidewalk where the same as with the spa he used 4 inches of crushed rock compacted before he lay his forms out and then instead of using wire he actually use rebar. Basically he's an old-fashioned guy working in today's times where his work is more important than his profits."
The cost of winterizing a screened porch can vary depending on the chosen method and the extent of the modifications required. Simple options like installing vinyl panels or using vinyl sheeting tend to be more affordable, while creating a four season room can involve higher costs due to renovation expenses. It's best to consult with professionals or obtain multiple quotes to get an accurate estimate for your specific project.
Yes, a sunroom will require a permit. You may just need a general construction permit for a screened-in porch or solarium. For a three-season room with electricity and a four-season room with electric, heating, and cooling, you’ll need additional permits for each of the utilities, as well as a roofing permit.
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.
A sunroom may count toward your home's total square footage or living space if it meets certain conditions, which can vary by local regulations. Generally, for a sunroom to be included, it must be fully enclosed, properly insulated, and equipped with electrical access and a heating and cooling (HVAC) system, similar to a four-season room. It should also meet the same construction standards as the rest of the house. Three-season sunrooms that function more like enclosed porches typically do not count toward the total square footage and are considered exterior living space.
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.
