Homeowners do not have to be home for us to come take measurements and pictures to work up a quote. If homeowners are home, the consultation can take anywhere from ten minutes to an hour. It depends on the homeowner's needs. For example, if you know you want a screen enclosure, it takes just a few minutes to show pictures and color options. If the homeowner wants to know all options, from awning installation to sunroom costs, it can take an hour or so to discuss each system.
