Betterliving specializing in three and four season sunrooms, screen rooms, patios and decks, as well as, windows and doors.

Ray started Betterliving Patio and Sunrooms in 1999 after years of selling sunrooms for another company. He decided it was time for him to branch out on his own.

We stay in contact with our clients before, during and after their projects so we can confirm they’re happy with our work and the final result.
"We couldn't be happier with our new 4-season sunroom, and we can't say enough about the people at Better Living Patio Rooms! We've had a lot of work done at our house over the years, but the crew from Better Living stands above the rest. Once the project began, work continued - without pause - until it was completed. From Anthony in sales, Mike in project management, Michelle and Jenn in the office, and Frank and Justin (who did the work), they were professional, detail-oriented, and friendly. I highly recommend Better Living. Brian in McCandless."

"I spoke to this contractor over the phone and explained what I was looking for - A free quote to refinish my basement and bathroom. The contractor advised they could come out the following day between 11:30am - 12:30pm. The contractor never showed, called, or messaged me. A big inconvenience as I have a busy schedule. I would not recommend even calling this contractor."

Our goal is to provide local families with affordable and quality service resulting in beautiful homes. Owner is on each job until completion. Flexible payment options available. Call us today to set up your free estimate!
"We contracted with Ben of Level Interior Solutions LLC for a total interior painting project. Part of the project was to repair a few areas of bad, peeling paint and to repair a ceiling area ruined by a leaking roof. We also wanted lay-in ceiling tile replaced in our sunroom. The scope of the job consisted of 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 hallways, kitchen, living room, foyer, TV room, sunroom, office, and laundry room, all in a tri-level home. It is a large project. Ben’s and his partner Skylar’s work is meticulous. They are skilled at prep work. Nothing was left poorly done, or undone. Ben remarked that they will get the house looking as pristine as it looked right after it was newly built. And he did. Ben and Skylar are excellent painters. There are no paint overruns, smears, lines, or misses. The ceilings and walls are perfect. Their work ethic is exactly what is wanted and expected. They always appear when they say they will, inform us of what they will be doing that day, work professionally the entire day, and clean up at the end of the day. The entire job took 2 weeks and 2 days, and never once did we have to sit in a dusty, messy home. Ben and Skylar made sure that the work area was presentably clean and not left in total disruption. We have no reservations in recommending Ben of Level Interior Solutions for your interior needs. We interviewed several people and are extremely pleased that we made the right choice in Ben and Level Interior Solutions."

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.
General contractors are the ones that coordinate home construction projects. They are in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the subcontractors to ensure that the project is completed on time and to resolve problems as they arise. General contractors:
Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew
Provide realistic cost estimates
Develop construction timelines
Ensure deadlines are met
Acquire permits as needed
Purchase supplies and materials
Before hiring a general contractor for your home project, it’s a great idea to write down a list of questions to discuss with each prospect. Some example questions to get you started include:
Which types of insurance do you carry?
Can you provide a list of references?
What is the expected timeline for this project?
How will my project be supervised?
Will you hire subcontractors for the job?
What is the best way to communicate changes?
Will you obtain all of the required building permits?
While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
