Outdoor living

Outdoor rooms made for
Lake Norman evenings.

Around the lake, the backyard is half the house. We build decks, covered and screened porches, and pergolas that extend your living space outdoors and hold up to Carolina sun, humidity, and storms — properly footed, flashed, and fastened so they stay solid season after season.

Frequently asked

Decks, Porches & Pergolas, answered.

What does a new deck or porch cost?

A straightforward pressure-treated deck often starts in the mid four figures; larger composite decks and covered or screened porches typically run $15k–$45k+ depending on size, roofing, and materials. We give a fixed written quote after measuring on-site.

Composite or wood — which should I choose?

Wood (especially cedar) costs less up front and looks beautiful but needs regular sealing; composite costs more initially but is nearly maintenance-free. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your budget and how long you plan to stay.

Do decks and porches need a permit in NC?

Most attached decks and any roofed structure do. We pull the permit and schedule the footing and final inspections as part of the project.
