I am a small independent contractor in business since 1984.
"Hired Mike to paint four rooms. 1st two days everything went well. By the third day he fell behind schedule. The last day he rushed through everything and didn't properly finish. He ran out of paint and didn't completely cover the walls. Plus he didn't paint behind the toilet or behind the washer/dryer. Very unprofessional. You pay a professional price and you expect a professional job."

"We used The Powell Company for several jobs on our house near Oneonta before realizing our mistake, so we have the experience to warn others. First, this company makes some very stupid “mistakes”. For example, they put a downspout directly over an electrical outlet, and they replaced items on our house that were NOT the rotted ones. We had to call them back to move the downspout so it wouldn’t block the outlet, and to replace the correct items; they got angry and blamed US for cutting into their profit because doing the work the right way would cost them money. Second, they cut corners or use cheap materials despite the impact on their customers; for example, they used plastic gutter brackets that broke in a season instead of metal ones that hold up year after year. Third, good builders try to think ahead and account for contingencies in a project in advance and fairly, but in our experience Powell didn’t use its imagination because it just put all risk of an unknown or cost overrun on us. This can result in large avoidable and unnecessary costs for the homeowner. Third, being lawyers, we recognized that proposals Powell gave us, which become binding contracts once signed, were, in our opinion, unfairly one-sided — they protected only Powell in any contingency that arose during their work and if any litigation came from the contract. We tried to change this to protect ourselves too, but could not. We have found other builders who are fairer from the get-go, or who will promptly agree to changes to lopsided proposals, and such an attitude speaks volumes. Last, but certainly not least, we foolishly didn’t get other bids for a few jobs that Powell did. When we wised up, we found that Powell cost 2-4 times what other builders did for the jobs we were doing. Bottom line — we caution anyone considering using The Powell Company."

A well-designed wraparound porch can significantly enhance your property's market appeal by improving curb appeal and expanding usable living space. The value increase varies based on your neighborhood, regional preferences, and how well the porch complements your home's architectural style. While you may not recoup the entire construction cost when selling, the enhanced marketability and distinctive character often make your property more attractive to potential buyers than similar homes without this feature.
While not mandatory, adding a roof to your wraparound porch provides substantial benefits, including protection from precipitation, shade during hot weather, and preservation of flooring materials. A covered porch creates a more versatile outdoor living space in various weather conditions. Though roofed structures initially cost more, they deliver greater functionality and potentially higher property value enhancement than uncovered alternatives.
Construction timelines for wraparound porches span several weeks to a few months, depending on project scope. The process begins with design and permitting phases, followed by foundation work, framing, flooring installation, and finishing details. Weather conditions, material availability, contractor scheduling, and design complexity influence the timeline. Larger porches with custom features naturally require more time than simpler, smaller projects.
Building permits are required for wraparound porch construction in most jurisdictions. These permits ensure your structure meets local building codes for structural integrity, proper attachment methods, appropriate railing heights, and other safety standards. Constructing without required permits risks potential fines, complications during future home sales, and possible removal orders. Requirements vary by location, so consulting your local building department before starting construction is essential.
The ideal flooring material depends on your specific priorities regarding appearance, maintenance requirements, durability, and budget. Traditional wood provides classic beauty but requires regular maintenance. Composite materials offer lower maintenance needs but at a higher initial cost. Concrete provides exceptional durability and minimal upkeep, but with a less traditional appearance. Your local climate conditions, expected foot traffic, and aesthetic preferences should guide your selection process rather than assuming one universal "best" option exists.
