Renovated backyard deck and patio space

Deck & Patio Remodeling Services

A well-built deck or patio extends your living space outdoors. We handle design, material selection, permitting, and construction from start to finish.

Outdoor living space has become one of the more requested home upgrades, extending usable square footage outdoors for a fraction of the cost of an interior addition. Whether you want a raised deck, a ground-level patio, or a full outdoor living area, our licensed team handles design, permitting, and construction.

What Our Deck & Patio Service Includes

Deck Design and Construction

We design and build decks sized and configured for how you actually want to use the space, whether that is dining, lounging, or connecting to a pool or backyard feature. Structural framing, footings, and railing are built to current code.

Patio Installation

Ground-level patios in concrete, pavers, or natural stone offer a lower-maintenance alternative to a raised deck, well suited to yards without significant grade changes.

Outdoor Living Features

Built-in seating, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens are increasingly requested additions that turn a basic deck or patio into a fully functional outdoor living area.

Railing and Safety Features

Railing design balances safety code requirements with sightlines, particularly for decks with a view worth preserving.

Choosing Deck Material

Pressure-Treated Wood

Pressure-treated wood remains the most budget-friendly decking material, though it requires regular staining or sealing to protect against weathering.

Composite Decking

Composite decking costs more upfront but requires significantly less maintenance over its lifespan, since it does not need to be stained or sealed like wood.

Natural Stone and Pavers

For patios, natural stone and pavers offer a durable, low-maintenance surface with a wide range of design options compared to poured concrete alone.

Deck & Patio Cost Factors

Our general remodel cost benchmarks guide covers principles that apply to outdoor projects as well.

Connecting Indoor and Outdoor Living

A deck or patio project is often paired with a patio door upgrade to improve the connection between indoor and outdoor space, creating a more seamless flow for entertaining and everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build a deck?

In most areas, yes, particularly for decks above a certain height or attached to the house. We confirm what applies to your specific project and manage the permitting process.

How much does a deck or patio cost?

Cost depends on size, material, and structural complexity. Composite decking typically costs more upfront than wood but requires less maintenance over time. We provide an itemized estimate after assessing your yard and goals.

What is the difference between a deck and a patio?

A deck is a raised structure typically attached to the house, built on posts and footings. A patio is a ground-level surface, often concrete, pavers, or stone, that does not require the same structural framing as a deck.

Most residential decks take one to two weeks to build, depending on size, material, and any required inspections along the way.
