Patio Covers Houston Installations To Increase This Year

Online, July 18, 2012 (Newswire.com) - With the steady rise in the number of exterior home improvement projects over the last months, Houston-based company, All-Tex Home Improvements Inc, predicts that home improvement projects are bound to increase in the next months.

According to a project supervisor from All-Tex Home Improvements Inc., a company which provides patio covers Houston installations, business is picking up. "We are optimistic about the number of Houston projects. We have been seeing a fairly good increase in the amount of projects among homeowners."

Lower prices

As manufacturing companies develop more affordable construction materials, prices have dropped for projects such as patio cover installations. "Manufacturers are looking for ways to lower costs so people would start considering having exterior projects again." said a contractor.

"Hundreds of construction companies closed down when the recession hit. Without contractors, it was just a matter of time before manufacturers start losing business." a market analyst said when asked about the impact of the economic crunch on local industries.

Supply and demand

Construction companies who have managed to stay afloat are still weathering out the storm, even with a seemingly low supply of contractors. "It's just that the drop in the demand was so steep that the supply to demand ratio was never really upturned." says an economic consultant.

For local companies, this meant less projects. However, some companies discovered new business opportunities. "Our projects were at an all time low, until we realized that people are bound to have something done on their home. It's just a matter of providing the right type of service to the people." according to a contractor.

Business picked up as homeowners discovered that home improvement projects can significantly increase a property's market price. Eventually, there was enough demand for patio covers and other Houston installations to have a significant impact on the market.

The low prices that came with contractor services created a slight increase among homeowners. In addition, as real estate prices dropped, homeowners had to find a way to increase the value of their properties. "People discovered that a properly installed Houston patio cover can provide significant ROI. That's when we knew we were on to something."

Heat wave

While it may be too hot to stay anywhere outside, those with patio covers installed are already seeing the advantages of of having one. "Aside from providing positive ventilation, the shade that a patio cover provides can help lower indoor temperature by deflecting a significant amount of radiated heat." a contractor said.

"Meteorologists are predicting that there will be more of these heat waves as global warming catches up with us. More homeowners are going to have to do something about this. We are looking at a spike in the demand for energy efficient construction materials and anything that can spare people from the sweltering heat." says a local contractor.

As the local construction industry picks up, companies like All-Tex Home Improvements Inc. are hopeful that full recovery is at hand. "If this picks up, we're looking at full recovery in the next 2-3 years," a local contractor says.
