Some of the latest from A-1

We want to say thank you to all who have called us and are patiently waiting on us to give an estimate. We are working tirelessly to try and get to everyone so please be patient with us.

Since the storm we have been super busy and I have fallen behind on the blogging. Here are just a few of the ones we actually got pictures of.

We actually did the fence on this one as well as the patio cover.

Screen Enclosure!

2008-06-22T19:49:00.000-07:00

Bill and Helen were gracious hosts while we were building their screen enclosure. They treated us like family and we felt right at home. Thank you and we hope you enjoy your new screen enclosure!

Long Time Customer - Lloyd!!

2008-06-19T15:14:00.000-07:00

One of our best repeat customers. Whatever he needs, we're there for him.

We actually built this cover last year and then birds starting making nests in the beams, so we came back out and capped everything. No more poop, lol!

Dog Enclosure?

2008-06-14T09:12:00.000-07:00

What a pleasure to work for Brenda & Mike. They are big-time dog lovers and contracted us to construct this state-of-the-art Dog Enclosure. (New product at A-1, lol.) I wouldn't mind being a dog at their house!

Below is the breezeway enclosure that was done last year. I think this is Boogie. I hope Boogie, Scooter, Red and the rest of the family enjoy their new enclosures!

Carport & Screen Room

2008-06-01T21:32:00.000-07:00

A BIG Thank You to Faye and Pam! I hope you and your chihuahuas enjoy your new room and I hope they are loving their new chihuahua door, lol!

Patio Cover in Baytown!

2008-05-28T19:45:00.000-07:00

Thanks so much for your business, Diana. It was a little bit overcast today for pictures but the patio turned out great!

New Patio Cover for Dan

2008-04-15T19:55:00.000-07:00

It was such a pleasure working for Dan and his wife Peggy. They are super nice people. We tore down the original wood lattice cover and replaced it with the aluminum patio cover below. BEElieve me when I say that wood cover was full of bumble bees!

Patio Cover in Pasadena

2008-03-27T19:40:00.000-07:00

This is our top of the line aluminum 3" insulated roof system!

Update to our Patio

2007-05-14T07:59:00.000-07:00

Finally finished! Remember, Bryan worked on this mostly by himself while still trying to run a business everyday so I am not complaining about the time. Can you imagine hauling those sheets up a ladder and doing whatever he does by yourself?

Here is just where he's wiring up for the ceiling fan. You can also see the fill he installed to hide the house roof.

Our Patio!!!

2007-05-10T12:43:00.000-07:00

Well after many years of not being able to decide whether we wanted a patio or a sunroom for our own house, we have decided on a patio. But this isn't your ordinary patio cover. Bryan has spent many hours engineering this on paper. It is going to be awesome and hopefully finished by Mother's Day!!!

I'll try to post a picture per day until it's finished. Below are 3 pictures from the last 3 days.

This is before anything has been done:

Attaching to the roof:

Finally, the bones are in and you can see the awesome gable. We'll have a high ceiling and will put in a ceiling fan with a light!

Don't Forget!!

Siding Trim

2007-05-01T20:54:00.000-07:00

This is our first "real" post to our new blog! On this job, we replaced all of the brown trim with white trim you see here. While it sounds easy, it was not. Very high working 24 feet in the air and a lot of prep work but so worth it for the beautiful transformation! Cindy and Tommy were awesome customers to work for. They treated us like family and sent us the following email:

"I can’t thank you enough for the great job changing out my trim. We are so happy with the results. We live on the corner, so many of my neighbors I didn’t even know were watching the transformation. I’ve had people in the neighborhood stop to comment on how great it turned out and what a huge difference.

Great Job!!! I will definitely recommend you to family and friends."
