Q: What’s the difference between a deck and a terrace?

• <div><p>A deck is typically attached to a house and accessed via the back door. Decks are usually constructed from wood or composite materials. A terrace, on the other hand, is a raised platform that can be attached to or detached from the house and is typically made from a hard-paved material, such as paving stones. Terraces can be built on the ground or on the roof of a home. </p></div>

Q: Can a Florida room be used year-round?

• <div><p>A Florida room doesn&rsquo;t have insulation, nor is the space heated, so in most cases, the room won&rsquo;t be comfortable enough to use during the winter months. A four-season room, which is like a Florida room that&rsquo;s insulated, heated, and cooled, is a better option if you&rsquo;re looking to enjoy your sunroom all year long. </p></div>

Q: How much maintenance will my outdoor room need?

• <div><p>Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.</p><p>Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.</p></div>

Q: What is the least expensive way to enclose a porch?

• <div><p>The least expensive way to enclose a porch is with screens. These protect the room by preventing insects from entering and, if you live in a warm climate, provide excellent airflow during hot summer months. Screens cost far less than any other alternative, so if you are against getting permits, spending too much, or enclosing your porch in walls or glass, screens are the best choice. </p></div>

I have used them for multiple jobs on multiple locations, they are amazing. They show up on time they get things right and I don’t have to call them back. I’ve had experience with other plumbers that I have to call back and they don’t respond. This one does it right the first time

"I am very satisfied with the work. They were very accommodating with some changes and given the opportunity to re-negotiate the quote they stayed with the original. There were no surprise charges at the end of the job. The job required digging for the foundation wall and they replaced/removed the dirt and left the yard ready for seeding as indicated in the quote. I would hire them again."
