  • What materials do you use for decks and patios?

    We offer a variety of choices, including composite decking, pressure-treated lumber, PVC, hardwoods, concrete, pavers, natural stone, gen stone and more. We’ll help you choose the best materials based on look, durability, and maintenance.

  • Do you handle permits and inspections?

    Project timelines vary based on size and complexity.

    Decks & patios: 1–5 weeks

    Pergolas & pavilions: 1–4 weeks

    Costs vary widely depending on materials, size, and features.
    Smaller projects start around $5,000–$15,000, mid size projects can range from $20,000-$55,000, while full outdoor living spaces typically range from $60,000–$150,000+. We offer detailed estimates after a design consultation.

  • Will my outdoor structure be built to withstand weather and long-term use?

    Definitely. Our projects are engineered and built to be durable, safe, and weather-resistant, using high-quality materials designed for outdoor environments.

  • Can you incorporate utilities like gas, water, and electricity?

    Yes. We can integrate plumbing, natural gas/propane lines, and electrical systems safely and professionally for outdoor kitchens, lighting, fire features, and entertainment systems, through licensed sub-contractors.

  • Do your fireplaces and fire pits meet local safety codes?

    All fire features are constructed to meet or exceed local and national safety codes, including clearance requirements and approved fuel sources.

  • Do you provide warranties?

    Yes. We offer manufacturer warranties on materials and a 2 year workmanship warranty on our installation. Manufacturer warranty length may vary depending on the product and scope of work. We do NOT have any warranty on pressure treated decking.

  • Can you work with my existing patio or deck?

    In many cases, yes. We can repair, expand, or upgrade existing structures as long as they meet safety standards and the life span of the framing is under 10 years and there is no sign of rot. If not, we’ll recommend the best solutions.
