Outdoor Deck Additions and Remodels

If your home has a sloped yard or sits high off the ground, a deck or platform deck is ideal for your outdoor space. A deck is a platform made from either wood or composite materials that extends your living space; adding areas to dine, grill or simply enjoy the outdoors. Adding or updating a deck to your home can be a significant aesthetic upgrade to your outdoor space – one that can add significant value to your home. In fact, a deck addition can add as much as 72 percent of the building costs to your homes value.  But it’s not just about a aesthetics and value; a new or improved deck can create more space for entertaining, add additional storage, and help create the desired ambiance in your backyard.

We can create that space by extending the deck outward, so that the seating and socializing area is separate from the grill and the entrance back into the house. Many people choose to create decks that step down to a patio. In this case, we can make the steps safer for you and your children by adding lights, sturdy rails and ensuring the steps are smooth and level. Is your deck off the ground by several feet? We can create covered storage underneath for your lawn care equipment or the children’s toys. Beautiful yet practical solutions can turn your deck or patio from an eyesore to the best part of your house.

Outdoor Kitchen Ideas

Outdoor kitchens have exploded in popularity over the last few years. Homeowners want more than grilling capability; they want to have the versatility to cook anything they can in a normal kitchen, just outside. If that sounds like you, an outdoor kitchen can allow you to do just that. They can be equipped with a built in barbecue, full-size refrigerator, stove top, even a brick pizza oven if so desired. It all depends on the style and appearance you want to achieve. It’s important to keep the hot areas (grill or stove), cold areas (refrigerator), wet areas (sink) and dry areas (counter tops) separate yet cohesive in order to make your outdoor kitchen function in top condition.

A counter top running along the edge of your deck or patio can allow for food preparation and give more space for serving once the cooking is done. You can also form a U-shape counter, which gives the feel of a bar, and allows for guests to socialize with you, the host, while you cook. If you love the island-style kitchen, you can have that as your preparation or grilling center.

The materials used to construct an outdoor kitchen can match the aesthetic of the rest of your house, or you can use a combination of them to create something uniquely your own. These materials should be easy to clean and maintain though; after all, they will be sitting outside. For this reason, you may also want to construct shelter to protect your guests and appliances.  Building an open, but covered structure over your outdoor kitchen will allow you to add an over head fan, lighting for night cooking and entertaining, speakers and even flat screen televisions.
