Contractor Tells Clients How to Save from Houston Patio Covers

(prHWY.com) April 17, 2012 - Houston, TX -- Houston, TX - April 20, 2012 - All-Tex Home Improvement Services - A local company is using information drive to help Houston residents budget for a covered deck.

Where Texan climate seems to rotate only from hot, warm, and cool, Houston patio covers make a practical and great investment for any home. They combine convenience, energy-saving features, and added usability, said All-Tex Home Improvement Services.

April marks the start of occasional thunderstorms and rainfall in the area, but temperatures and humidity levels are predicted to gradually soar until they reach their maximum sometime between July and September.

Saving Wisely

The concept of forking out money to save some more is not new, the company said. "It's called making an investment."

According to All-Tex Home Improvement Services, Houston residences can save on patio covers by doing the following first:

* Ask the contractor and the county tax office for advice about property tax assessments and obligations. Decks and other improvements that raise the value of the property are ordinarily taxed, but personal acquisitions are exempt.

* Bundle improvements in one go. Most contractors can work out a package price for clients who opt for patio cover, siding installation, and exterior painting. This assures homeowners that the improvements can blend well with the existing structure.

* Transact business with a transparent and professional home improvement company. This eliminates stress, downtimes, and pricey but shoddy Houston patio covers. It also lowers the risk of having illegal sub-contractors undertake the project.

* Work things out with the homeowners' association. Regardless of whether a building permit has been issued for the patio cover, HOAs could take down a project that they have not approved or been informed of.

* Confirm whether the company offers design and build services. Unlike ordinary roofing projects, covered patio construction normally requires design planning. Paying for the services separately and from different contractors can be expensive and unwieldy.

The information drive is no sales pitch, All-Tex Home Improvement Services clarified.

There are no promotional offers or hyped sales that homeowners normally expect from most contractors.

Setting Build Time Estimates and Pricing Expectations

"What we do offer is advice. Professional guidance and cost estimates are offered at no charge," volunteered the home improvement company.

It assigns prospects with their own private patio cover consultant who then discusses with homeowners their needs, pricing requirements, and other preferences.

During the initial meeting and usually within the same day, the consultant will then present pictures of similar work completed and create a spot-on and customized price quote which prospective customers can review.

At the outset, the build time for patio covers can range from a couple of days to several weeks - depending on the scope of the project, All-Tex Home Improvement Services said.
