A well-designed deck or screened porch gives you another place to spend time at home without needing a major interior renovation.
For some homeowners, that means adding a deck with enough room for a dining table and grill. Others may want a screened porch where they can enjoy fresh air with more shade and protection from insects. If you already have a deck, it may also be possible to repair it, update the materials, or convert part of the space into a screened porch depending on the existing structure.
We look at your existing home and backyard before recommending a solution. Things like available space, access from the house, sunlight, privacy, and the layout of your yard all matter when deciding where and how to build.
The result should feel like a natural extension of your home, not something that was simply added onto the backyard.
A new deck can give you a defined outdoor area for entertaining, grilling, dining, or relaxing. We can help you plan a custom deck around your home’s layout and the amount of space available in your yard.
Material choice is also an important part of the project. Options can include pressure-treated wood, composite decking, and PVC materials, each with different considerations for appearance, maintenance, durability, and budget.
A screened porch gives you the open-air feel of a porch while creating a more protected place to spend time outdoors. It can be especially useful during Charlotte’s warmer months when you want fresh air without being completely exposed to the sun or insects.
We can help plan a screened porch as a new addition or evaluate whether an existing deck can support a conversion. The design can be tailored around how you want to use the space, whether that is for dining, entertaining, relaxing, or spending more time outside with your family.
You may not need to rebuild your entire outdoor space just because part of it has started showing wear.
We can help with repairs and maintenance for existing decks and porches, including damaged components and porch screens. If screens are torn or worn, they can be repaired or replaced so the porch is comfortable to use again.
We can inspect the existing area and help determine whether repairs, replacement of individual components, or a larger update makes the most sense.
Your outdoor space should fit how you use your home. Depending on your project, we can help with:
We can also talk through features such as lighting, fans, and other additions that may make the space more comfortable and useful.
Charlotte’s warm summers make outdoor living spaces especially useful, but local weather also means your deck or porch needs to be planned with long-term exposure in mind.
Sun, humidity, rain, and changing temperatures can all affect outdoor materials over time. Choosing appropriate decking and staying on top of maintenance can help keep the space looking good and functioning properly.
Your home’s location can also influence the design. A backyard in an established, tree-lined area such as Dilworth or Myers Park may have different shade, space, and layout considerations than a newer property around Ballantyne or another growing part of Charlotte.
We take those details into account when planning the space. Where the sun hits in the afternoon, how you enter the backyard from the house, how much privacy you want, and where you plan to place furniture can all shape the final design.
Every project starts with understanding what you want from the space.
Maybe your existing deck is too small for entertaining, you want a more comfortable screened area, or an older porch simply needs repairs and updates.
We evaluate the area and help you determine an approach that fits the property, including how the outdoor space connects with your home and yard.
From there, we can discuss the size, layout, materials, and features that make sense for the project.
