An outdoor living space provides ample motivation to spend time in the fresh air. At Birkes Builders, we will ensure that your luxury patio is constructed correctly the first time, leaving you with nothing to do but enjoy it.
Share with us your vision for your deck and how you intend to utilize it. We’ll ask for some pictures to better understand your goals, and we’ll schedule an in-home consultation to talk about your deck in person.
During the in-home consultation, we design your deck in minute detail on the spot. We'll assist you in selecting colors and deck upgrades that complement your home, and once the contract is signed, we'll schedule your project and get to work.
Step outside your kitchen or living room door into a space that is welcoming, entertaining, and relaxing. Your new deck is the ideal excuse to take much-needed breaks whenever you please and spend more time outdoors.
Whether you have an existing deck that needs a new lease on life or you want to construct a new outdoor space, we have the team and expertise to fulfill your dreams and desires.
A patio is the quickest way to gain outdoor living space of sufficient quality. A simple patio can be transformed into a true dream space by the addition of well-chosen furniture.
A Screened Porch or Sunroom is a great way to add additional living space to your home, resulting in a tremendous return on investment via the home's resale value. It is time to bring nature into the home.
This step involves deciding on the overall function and appearance of the space. Consider factors such as the size and layout of the area, the intended use (e.g., entertaining, relaxing, gardening), and the style of the home. You may want to sketch out a rough design or create a detailed plan with measurements and materials using a BIM software.
This step involves determining the cost of the project, including the price of materials, labor, and any additional features you want to include (e.g., a fireplace, a water feature). It could be smart to look at Rebuilding Magazine's yearly Expense vs. Esteem Report to understand how much normal projects cost.
You will need to gather estimates from contractors or suppliers and make a list of all the materials you will need. It is a good idea to add a cushion to your budget an additional 10 to 20 percent for unexpected expenses, says Zillow. If you need to finance all or even a portion of the project, check out our financing partners.
Depending on the location and scope of the project, you may need to obtain building permits or other approvals from your local government before starting construction. Ensure your General Contractor checks your district's most recent regulations, since inspections guidelines change in various areas.
This step involves preparing the area for construction, which may involve grading the ground to create a level surface, installing drainage to prevent water from pooling, and removing any existing structures or debris. You may also need to mark utility lines or have them marked by the appropriate authorities to avoid damaging them during construction.
This step involves installing any necessary foundations, such as concrete piers or footings, to support the structure of the outdoor living space. The type of foundation you need will depend on the size and weight of the structure and the type of soil on your property.
This step involves constructing the main structure of the outdoor living space, such as a deck, patio, or pergola. You will need to follow a set of plans or blueprints and use the appropriate tools and materials to assemble the structure.
This step involves adding any additional features or finishes to the outdoor living space, such as lighting, plants, furniture, or decor. You can use this step to personalize the space and make it more comfortable and functional.
Now is the ideal time to add those last details and finishes — final painting, floor sealing, lighting fixtures, some other final details.
This step involves checking the functionality of any features, making any necessary repairs or adjustments, and performing any necessary maintenance to ensure the outdoor living space is ready for use. This may include testing electrical outlets, adjusting the placement of furniture, or applying sealant to protect wood surfaces.
When a redesign is finished, make certain to pause for a minute to enjoy in your new environment, and maybe begin longing for your next project.
