"This started off as a 2-part job. One part needed to wait in a bathroom until a shower unit could be installed in the basement bathroom. The first part was to drywall a missing ceiling and wall in a kitchen. They completed this work. There are some sunken screw heads that need a second coat of mut still. The wall is fine in the kitchen. They drywalled around the toilet area in a main floor bathroom but did not fill in the hole from an old medicine cabinet. The entire main floor bathroom was to be completed it's not. In the basement there was a half wall that was to be drywalled. It's completed and finished. In the basement bathroom the quote says they will used green board they did not. We asked them not to drywall the outside wall of the bathroom because it needed to still be insulated and they drywalled half of this wall. We had given them a lock box to the home and before we could even see what was completed at the home Mario called and demanded full payment even though only half the work was completed. I did pay him the full amount at that time trusting that they would be back to complete the rest of the work. When we did get a chance to see the home a few days later we let Kevin the sales guy know that they used the wrong drywall in the bathroom and drywalled half of a wall that we asked them not to. We removed the drywall on this wall so that the insulation could be installed. The shower was installed and we scheduled them to return to complete the remainder of the drywall. Mario the owner came back to view the job and was very disrespectful and aggressive with my partner. He was very difficult and would not listen to what needed to be accomplished still at the home. It was clear he had no interest in completing the work since had been paid. My partner didn’t feel safe in the home with Mario's aggressive behavior. When he called me to discuss he continued he further aggressive language and told me to “Suck His Dick” which is a clear reflection of his character."

"Ethan delivers exceptional service with outstanding attention to detail. He truly respects your belongings, schedule, and personal needs, making the entire process seamless. What impressed me most was his expertise in color selection—I’m incredibly indecisive, but he used his professional experience to recommend three perfect options tailored to my space. His guidance made all the difference for our home. After being blown away by his interior work, I hired him again for the exterior. He pressure washed, sanded, and stained our aging deck, even replacing rotted boards, transforming it into something that looks brand new. He also pressure washed and cleaned the entire exterior of our home, including the roof, with phenomenal results. Ethan’s professionalism and skill were so impressive that I’ve since hired him for my investment properties and rental units. His work speaks for itself—high-quality, reliable, and thorough. 10/10 recommend! Outstanding business!"

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 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.
Yes, adding either a porch or deck (or both!) to your home can add value. Both of these features add character and curb appeal to your home, but even more importantly, they add an element of convenience. Plus, these home features create additional square footage of living space to your home. Adding a porch onto your home can give you a return on investment (ROI) of up to 84%, while adding a deck can provide an ROI of up to 80%.
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.
As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:
Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings.
Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard.
Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety.
Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.
