1.00Why do so many homes in Florida have pool enclosures?
Q.I've been watching HGTV and I notice that almost all of the homes have pool enclosures, like sunrooms enclosing their pool areas. Why?
A.It keeps it from getting too hot, and the one's with a screen are great for keeping bugs, frogs, snakes, and in some areas even alligators out of your pool. Much easier to maintain.
Maybe you could help me with mine. I could use a girl's opinion, and I think you'll have fun answering it!

I would like to know also if there are requiered any permits to do that. I live in NYC. Any opinion will be appreciated on this matter. Thank you
Ok any one interested in doing the job? with all the permits and materials just give me a price a and is ok with the landlord as long everthing is done legaly with the city code etc...Any takers? If the price is right you may get the job.

1.00Whos has better quality sunrooms ?
Q.We are either looking at the Oasis Sunroom by Joyce Mfg. or a sunroom by Patio Enclosures. We have convinced ourselves to by a vinyl sunroom as compared to a aluminum. Joyce only makes vinly where Patio Enclosures expertise seems to be more with aluminum. They make a vinyl sunroom, but they don't seem to make a big effort in selling that style. Any information would help.
A.Is it Vinyl, or plastic?
What is warranty against fading? What is the glass warranty? What about workmanship (leaks) warranty. I have dealt with both, Each has their faults.
Good Luck
1.00How Much Would A New Front Porch Cost? (22' X 7.5')?
Q.Our current front porch is 88 years old and is rotting away. We want to replace it before it gets worse. We'd like to retain the roof as it seems like it's in great shape.
It's 22 feet wide and has a depth of about 7 1/2 feet. There are four columns we'd like to replace as well as railings around the entire porch. There are 3 options we are considering:
1. Concrete stairs with the columns and rails pressure treated wood or deck composite material.
2. All pressure treated wood (probably cheapest option).
3. All deck composite material (most desired but not sure how expensive).
If you have any info, I'd love to hear it! Trying to figure out how much more to save before we can be very serious and contact contractors.
A.The only way you're going to get accurate figures is to talk to local contractors. They will need to see your house to determine what needs to be done. They can discuss the various options. Labor and material rates vary widely from one place to another, so that will factor into costs as well. Get several bids, compare them closely, ask for and check references, and remember that the low bid is not necessarily the best value. Hope this helps.
1.00A Naruto deck construction question.?

A.Cool
1.00I hired a deck builder; I noticed that he didnt remove the sod in area where the deck is to be built.Is it OK?
Q.Is the deck builder obligated to remove the sod under the deck? I read the contract; it did not mention anything about removing the sod.
A.You're paying him to build a deck, not landscape. After a while the grass will die from lack of sun anyway.
1.00What is the best product to seal my deck?
Q.I just had a 12x12 deck built in my back yard about 4 months ago and the builders said to wait around 4 to 6 months before sealing it.Well its about that time now any ideas of what exactly to get and how much i would need for a 12x12 deck.
Thanks for the help.
A.I have used thompsons and it seems to last around a season and then the water puddles again on the deck.Its a good product but i think there is something better out.Additionally i applied this to my deck that was already 10+ years in age.It might make a difference if the wood is newer.
1.00Room under existing deck ??
Q.I have a large (about 10x12) deck outside an upper story loft.
I want to convert the deck below (8 x 24) into a sunroom and mudroom (will be extending the deck that isn't under the upper deck to allow for the sun room).
I know I've seen rooms under decks before, but how do you go about creating the 'roof'/ceiling when there is an existing deck? I wouldn't mind taking the deck back to just a couple feet if that would be easier, but there are sliding glass doors up there and removing it completely would look silly.
Of course I'll be consulting a contractor in the next several weeks but would greatly appreciate ideas now.
A.The trick is ensuring proper drainage from above. There are water-channeling products (like a gutter system) that can be applied to the bottom of the upper deck. From there, the rules are the same as any addition; good foundation and quality construction.

You can choose from aluminum deck railings, cable deck railings, cedar deck and composite deck railings to add some personality to your patio or deck. Wooden deck enclosures make for a cozy feel. Or you could try custom enclosures to really leave your mark on your patio. But there are a few considerations you need to make when you are installing railings and enclosures. Cost is one of them, the more intricate the design the more expensive. Ease of installation, strength of the design and functionality are the other factors that you might want to consider before you get railings installed.
Choosing the right railing design is more about your life style than you think. The reason for this is that railing design is linked to the size of your deck or patio. The size of your patio depends on what you plan to do with you deck or patio. Are you the type that spends a lot of time on the deck entertaining friends? If the answer is yes, you’ll need a deck that is large enough to accommodate a lot of people. Other considerations you need to make when building a deck include location and material. All of these will influence the choice of railings. But whatever you do make sure that you match the design of the railings to the overall design of the patio or deck.
