From new siding to a custom outdoor kitchen, our team is dedicated to creating outdoor spaces that perfectly suit your lifestyle and meet your needs. If you are currently working with an architect or designer on your bathroom remodel, we would be happy to provide an estimate for you.
Initial Consultation
Our process begins like any other home renovation project with a detailed consultation. During this stage, we focus on understanding your vision for your outdoor living space and the exterior upgrades you want to achieve. Whether you’re planning a deck remodel, installing new porch railing, or considering a full exterior makeover, we evaluate your existing space and discuss design ideas that will elevate both the look and functionality of your home's exterior.
​
We consider everything from adding a custom outdoor kitchen and grill area to bringing some new life into your yard by adding plants. By understanding your preferences and needs, we create a plan that seamlessly integrates with your home’s style while maximizing your outdoor living experience.
Estimating Process
After the initial walkthrough, we provide a detailed estimate for your outdoor space. Our estimates take into account the entire scope of the project, including materials, labor, and any necessary repairs to your home's exterior. By providing a full breakdown of costs upfront, we ensure that you can make informed decisions about your project and feel confident in the investment.
​
Whether you're installing a new roof, replacing windows, or adding a patio to your backyard, our transparent estimating process ensures that every aspect of your project is clearly outlined.
Design and Planning
Once the estimate is approved, our team moves into the design and planning phase. This is where we work closely with you to finalize the vision for your outdoor kitchen or landscaping project. We focus on creating a cohesive look for your outdoor spaces, incorporating elements such as grills, appliances and decor to fit your overall aesthetics. We evaluate materials like brick and wood siding along with the appropriate trim to make your new space eye catching but still keep cost on budget.
For a deck remodel, we explore design features like wood or composite decking, adding a porch railing, or building a concrete covered patio for extended outdoor use. We also consider adding a grill or outdoor kitchen, perfect for outdoor entertaining and make for convenient cooking areas while improving the functionality of your space.
Permits and Approvals
For outdoor kitchens and most other structured projects, securing permits and approvals is essential. Our team handles all of the necessary paperwork to ensure that your project complies with local building codes and regulations. This step is especially important when making significant exterior changes like the installation of new plumbing and electrical, modifying concrete patios, or replacing windows and siding.
Site Preparation
Before construction begins, we take care to prepare the site, ensuring that your yard, house and other areas are protected throughout the process. We handle everything from safeguarding landscaping and existing concrete to setting up equipment for a smooth workflow.
Our goal is to minimize disruption to your daily life while delivering top-quality services the entire time your project is underway.
Construction Process
Once everything is set, we move into the construction phase, bringing your outdoors to life. Whether it’s redoing the landscaping in the yard, altering the side entrance, or adding an outdoor kitchen, our expert team ensures every aspect of the project is completed to the highest standards.
​
For larger scale projects like adding a pool houses, we focus on durability and style, ensuring that the materials—such as wood or composite—complement your home while offering long-lasting performance.
For exterior makeovers, we update your home’s windows, siding, trim, and front door, along with a fresh coat of paint, enhancing energy efficiency and giving your home a fresh, modern look.
​
If you're adding a patio, outdoor kitchen, or grill, we make sure these features are fully integrated into your outdoor living space, giving you a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
Finishing Touches
As we near the end of the project, we focus on the finishing touches that make your outdoor space truly stand out. This may include adding decorative shutters, fresh paint, new fence installation, or landscaping with plants that enhance the overall look of your front yard or backyard.
We also ensure that all porch railings, windows, and doors are perfectly installed and that any existing damage to the roof or exterior walls are completed to your satisfaction. These final details help create a polished and cohesive look for your home.
Final Walkthrough and Handover
Once construction is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to review and make sure everything is complete. We make sure every element has been installed according to your specifications and address any final concerns you may have.
​
We also provide advice on how to maintain your new exterior space to keep it looking beautiful and functioning well for years to come.
