"We had a new deck built to replace one. It is a solid deck, but we are not happy with the floor at all. We had Trex flooring installed, and it was screwed down below the surface, giving it a pegboard look. Very upsetting. Steve said we should have told him what we wanted. We didn't know all composite wasn't installed with hidden fasteners, so we didn't know to tell him to use them! He finally came back and put some plugs in, leaving over 100 holes still. He told my husband it was to preserve structural integrity of edges and steps! They already had holes, what could it hurt to fill them in? I found a picture online where there was a floor actually screwed down, but the screws were level with the floor. I was told they aren't supposed to be countersunk, but that's what was done. He told us it was a "budget deck", which was insulting because we didn't ask for that. It sounded like a justification for the work. There is nothing around the wood posts to cover the floor cuts. Big lack of communication. He didn't show up the day of the contract. I understand heat delays,etc, but no word. We thought we had been scammed. My husband texted him, and Steve agreed he should have let us know. We are not 100% satisfied, so I would cautiously recommend him. Make sure to spell everything out for him so there are no disappointments."

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.
