We did this, if I can suggest the following:
We drew up a set of plans, and got ARC approval before we started. Then we showed our neighbors what we were planning.
We had a hard date for completion, so we got 3 bids, while T&D was one of these, they had so much work their time frame for an appointment to discuss the project was AFTER our hard completion date. We used Killcrease, but in reality Joseph Sweeting LLC did 95% of the work, and they were EXCELLENT, 352-209-7676. There were several items that we included in the design, additional electrical outlets, additional drainage, 50% sun reduction screening, etc., that have made a big difference in the final product. Send me a PM if you would like to discuss further. We did have the overall contractor get all of the PERMITS for the project, start to finish, 2 weeks for 800 sq.ft. birdcage.
