Decks, Porches & Outdoor Living
Outdoor rooms you'll use from March to November.

- Composite & wood decks
- Screened & covered porches
- Pergolas & shade
- Railings & stairs
- Lighting & ceiling fans
- Permits & engineering
Your experience matters
Remodeling with confidence
Outdoor structures live in the weather. We build them with the same care as an interior — sound footings, flashed ledgers and hardware rated for Carolina humidity — so they look great for decades.
Site planning
Sun, shade, privacy and drainage studied before we draw a board.
Material guidance
Composite, PVC, cedar or pressure-treated — honest trade-offs for your budget and use.
Built to code
Engineered footings, flashed ledgers and stainless or coated hardware throughout.
All-season comfort
Roofs, screens, fans and heaters so the space works beyond perfect days.
Fixed pricing
Itemized proposal with options for railings, lighting and stairs.
Permits handled
Drawings, HOA approval support and county inspections managed for you.
Project spotlight
A porch that became the family dining room
Matthews
The goal
Replace a sun-baked deck with a covered space the family could use for dinners, homework and weekends — without darkening the kitchen.
The result
A light-transmitting roof over new framing, ceiling fans, outdoor-rated lighting and composite decking — now the most-used room in the house from spring to fall.
