"Dream Builders was great to work with for our awning. When the supplies came in, Trevan contacted me and he was out the next day to deliver them. He installed a few beams and came back the following day. The weather was taking a turn for the worse so he brought extra workers to get the job completed before the bad weather hit. We love the awning and would recommend them any day."
Hi, I’m Keven, a hands-on handyman with years of experience repairing, improving, and renovating homes. I’ve worked on whole-home renovations, a business buildout, and a wide range of home projects, including doors and hardware, trim, drywall, painting, flooring, fixtures, and general repairs.\n\nI’m dependable, punctual, and easy to communicate with. I’ll listen to what you need, explain the work clearly, and treat your home with care. I take pride in doing quality work and leaving the space clean when the job is done. I’d be glad to help with your next project.
"Great. He professionally installed and finished staircase hand rails and shower grab bars. He also repaired and rehung a couple of doors so they shut properly."
"Mclayne did a wonderful job. We had a fairly urgent need and he responded as quickly as he could. His repair was done quickly and well. He made sure the area was clean before he left. I would recommend Mclayne wholeheartedly."
"Aweis was wonderful to work with. He has done a wonderful job each time we have hired him for a project at our home. He was always on time, professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Aweis for general repair / construction needs. He is awesome!"
"Dealing with EPC Construction (Robert) has been a great experience. Beginning with the onsite estimate on a Saturday to accommodate our schedule, the sharing of professional / personal recommendations and photos. Resulting in an old wooden deck being removed and replaced with a larger composite deck and awning. Scheduling and work were completed in a timely manner. Robert takes PRIDE in his work. Highly recommend."
"Derek Jeffs is amazing. I asked him to do multiple projects raging from mounting TVs, Pictures, preparing Projection TV, and cutting down large pine trees. His work is 2nd to none. He is very professional. Always arriving ahead of schedule and completing projects in a timely manner. There is none better. My strongest personal recommendation to hire him for any work that needs to be done on your house"
Metal awnings last much longer than fabric thanks to their durability and resistance to fading, sun damage, and damage from the outside elements. They also need less maintenance than fabric options. Both items add curb appeal to your home, but you shouldn't expect either type of awning to add property value to your home.
It depends on how you’ll use it. Both awnings and pergolas create shelter in outdoor areas, but pergolas have grid-style roofs, which are more open than awnings and not as effective at blocking out UV rays and precipitation. Also, pergolas are permanent structures, so you can’t put them away when you aren’t using them (unlike retractable awnings).
Fabric awnings provide shade, reduce energy costs, and enhance outdoor aesthetics.
It’s best to keep your awning retracted if winds are 25 miles per hour or more to make sure your awning doesn’t sustain irreparable damage due to wind. Some awnings can take winds up to 30 miles per hour without any damage, but it’s best to consult the manufacturer’s guidance. A good rule of thumb is if it’s too windy for you to comfortably stand outside, it’s time to bring the awning in.
It’s not a good idea to allow heavy rain to fall on your awning, as puddling can occur and overload the awning. Your awning should be able to handle a light rain, though you should allow it to dry out before retracting it or open it to dry as soon as the rain stops. As always, consult manufacturer guidelines for using and caring for your awning.
