"Desoto Painting and Design arrived on time and 3 very nice young men spent hours powerwashing and sanding our 2 decks, approximately 670 square feet.

We let the decks stand to dry for 3 days and then they were back to clean up. All went great. Very professional. We will recommend Desoto Paint and Design."

"I think the prep of the house and the exterior painting was good, although I haven't been able to walk around and check because of foot surgery. But the promises to return items to their original location never happened, nor did the replacement of house numbers that were broken in the process. After days and days of texts to say they were coming to do these things, and then not showing up, they have just stopped all communication. The contact gives a 2 year guarantee on workmanship. Can I trust them? I don't know."

"Casey O'Brien and his crew did an outstanding job, from demo of old deck through completion. Casey was timely in his estimate and responsive to change requests as I became more knowledgeable of TimberTech product offerings during the process. Casey and crew were always courteous and friendly. Work site was cleaned up at close of every work day. Very pleased with quality of finished product. Project took longer than estimated due to supply chain issues and product availability. Casey did a good job of keeping me apprised of delays. I would definitely hire Casey again and would recommend him to others seeking construction assistance."

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.
