"I highly recommend CGM. They are wonderful to work with from start to finish. Outstanding customer service from Aylissa, template by Johnny, and our install was completed by Gio. His seams are impeccable. Excellent team!!! Thank you for such a great experience and product."
"This was the second time that Dan Kirby worked on a paint job for me. Last year, he repainted the exterior of my house including re-glazing the windows. It was so well done that I think it helped to sell the house very quickly at a better than expected price. After I moved into my new residence, wallpaper needed to be removed from the kitchen and bath, including on the ceiling. Dan did an excellent job in the wallpaper removal and wall repair as well as the painting so that the walls look like new. Dan proved to once again be prompt in providing the estimate which was reasonable. As in the past, Dan was reliable in showing up on time every day, staying on schedule, and working diligently on the project. I am definitely planning on having Dan Kirby re-paint the rest of the house interior in the next few months. I highly recommend him for both exterior and interior jobs."
"Jason and his team of two arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently. Powerwashing was completed in just a couple of hours. with great care taken to make sure landscaping was not damaged. And THEY PROVIDE THE WATER! They removed and washed all furniture from the porches (3) as well. The difference in appearance is amazing; I really didn't think some of the discoloration on gutters, etc. could be removed, but they did it. Jason did a 'walk around' after finishing to make sure I was satisfied. The painters came a couple of days later and their work was excellent as well. Exterior doors were repaired and painted and the porch looks as good as new. All in two days! Steve and his team were honest in their advice and didn't recommend unnecessary work to increase the cost as some companies have done in the past. I asked that an extra coat of paint be added to the porch rails as well as another coat of sealant on the walk, and this was done without complaint. Steve stopped by twice after the job to make sure all was completed as promised. Absolutely no complaints. This is a great company to work with and I highly recommend them for powerwashing and interior/exterior painting. "
"Alberto is super polite, knowledgeable and efficient and he and his colleague even showed up early when their schedule cleared early. Their prices are reasonable. Thanks to them, our daughter's garden got in this year after-all! Alberto will be helping with a deck project next. We are looking forward to hiring Alberto and any on his team again soon. Highly recommend!!"
"From day 1, they were extremely responsive and professional. The started building the cabinets when they said they would and had them finished ahead of schedule. The work was excellent quality and install was great and quick. They allowed me to keep my existing cabinets and expand the kitchen instead of having to do a total gut job. While the cabinets are not super cheap - you get what you pay for! Well worth every penny. The painter they recommended did a great job."
"Excellent. The painters were timely, meticulous, and thorough. They efficiently painted our primary room and closet in one day. I would hire again and highly recommend!"
"This was my first time hiring Mr. Best. Not having hired many other contractors, I can't compare his work with others. I can say that my experience with Mr. Best was very positive, and I will certainly consider using his services again in the future if the need arises. In fact, I have already discussed hiring him to help me raise the shed a few inches, as the final step in preventing the problem there from reoccurring. "
On average, building or installing a gazebo costs around $5,700, with a typical range between $3,000 and $10,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the gazebo's size, shape, material, and design complexity. Material choice is a significant cost driver; for example, brick is often more affordable, while metal can be one of the more expensive options. Square-shaped gazebos can also be more expensive to build. Custom features, such as built-in seating or lighting, will increase the total price. You may be able to save money by purchasing a prefabricated gazebo kit or performing some of the labor yourself.
For many people, a gazebo is worth it, but it’s a matter of personal preference. If you love spending time outside but your yard doesn’t offer much protection from the sun or rain, then adding a gazebo might be worthwhile. Or, if you enjoy hosting dinner parties and want a nice outdoor space to gather with your friends, a gazebo could be a good investment.
Several types of porches are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:
Porticos are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance.
Sunrooms are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight.
Wraparound porches extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.
Back porches are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.
Log cabins are relatively difficult to maintain compared to a traditional house. That’s because log cabins require regular upkeep and care that can include refinishing and corncob blasting, a process similar to sandblasting that shoots ground-up corncob with compressed air.
Clean regularly, seal wood surfaces, and inspect for damage or rust to ensure longevity and safety.
