"They were fabulous from start to finish. We had a front porch put on and it looks like it was built with the house. They went above and beyond ensuring that we had quality material and that the work looked very professional, which it does! I would definitely, and highly, recommend this company for future building work."
"They did a wonderful job resurfacing our deck with Trex. They literally redid the entire porch in a single (long) day and the end results were fantastic. High quality service and would highly recommend. "
"Daryl was honest, dependable, and very knowledgeable. "
"It was a pleasure hiring Mr. Estevez to remove a small partition wall separating our dining room from our living room. He did a great job with the removal, patching the hole on the adjoining wall, and painting over it. He was even gracious enough to paint the rest of the wall just to make sure everything matches. If you're looking for an all-around Handyman who is honest, affordable, and does excellent work, look no further than Mr. Estevez."
"Project was a deck for my townhome. Used HA to gather proposals. JAC was the first to come by, looked at the job and told me, No problem. Got others to come out too but the experience was never as professional. Some quotes were too high. Others sent no quotes at all. JAC worked with my budget and did the job in only a day and a half. The results were top notch. Great crew. From quote to execution. "
"Gary called me almost immediately after I filled out the contact form. He stayed in communication with me even after having to delay for a day due to weather. The price that he gave me was great. Franz did an excellent job and finished in a timely manner, cleaning up the area as well. Thank you Gary and Franz for a job well done!"
"My main water supply pipe had burst so I called multiple companies. Faruk was the first to respond and show up on a weekend to inspect the damage and provide an estimate. Things I like about this company: 1. They were extremely responsive to my needs and questions 2. They honored their estimate even though there were a couple of unforeseen obstacles which increased the length of the project and possibly the cost to them 3. They negotiated the estimate lowering it considering my situation 4. They took care of all permits and inspections 5. They cleaned up after the project was done to the best of their abilities 6. They were upfront and honest about the damage to my lawn due to excavations 7. They were very courteous and professional Things they could improve: 1. The project took a little longer than anticipated. A lot of their work was manual which could have been fast tracked with the use of machinary i.e. digging etc. 2. We replaced the entire main pipe assuming that it was defective/polybutelene pipe since it was underground and flooded. We layer found out it was not the case but they proceeded anyway rather than fixing the broken length. While I think it was probably the safest choice it may not have been necessary and they never brought it up later. "
"Very professional. Couldn’t ask for better."
"the associates were extremely professional and uniquely qualified. I was completely satisfied with the outcome. I would certainly recommend Salty Dog and would use them again for any future projects "
"Iâ m so impressed with the speed and quality of how this project was completed. "
"Did a good job"
"I hired JK General Contractor and give it five stars not because it was the lowest price of the three contractors that gave me bids, but because the company has something other companies don't often exhibit: integrity. It also has great customer service and provides a great value for the money. After we signed a contract for a screened-in deck with the company and paid a third of the cost of the deck as a deposit, my husband and I found we needed to cancel the contract because of a major change in plans (a move). We thought that it meant we would lose the deposit. However, JK General Contractor returned our deposit minus the amount that had been spent on designing the deck. We were thrilled. I don't believe the other two contractors that gave us bids would have done so. If we end up staying here after all, we will definitely go back to JK General Contractor, sign the contract again, and have the deck built. When I selected JK General Contractor, I read ALL of the reviews of the three contractors that gave us bids, particularly reading the bad reviews, looking for a pattern among the comments. The reviews for the other contractors led me to believe that either they had financial problems that interfered with on-time delivery if you were among the unlucky few customers or had management problems. None of those problems appeared in the "bad" reviews of JK General Contractor. The materials normally used by JK General Contractor were higher in quality than that used by the other contractors. Looking for the lowest price often, perhaps most often, doesn't get you a quality product and good service. "
Many homes come with porches, but many others do not. If you live in your own space, you might find that building a porch can increase the value of your home, give you a relaxing place to hang out, and help you save on energy if it comes with a cover to provide extra shade.
Many steps go into building a porch. The first step is to decide on options and design a plan. One common option you'll need to decide on is the type of flooring. Porches can be built with pressure treated wood, redwood, cedar, resilient vinyl, wood composites, and even brick flooring. After the design is done, a professional contractor can measure out the proper area, develop a foundation to support the base of the porch, and then construct it out of sturdy materials.
If you'd like to add a porch to your home, make sure to get quotes from several porch contractors near you. Enter your zip code and let HomeAdvisor connect you will prescreened builders in your area.
