Outdoor Deck Builders

Outdoor deck and patio builders can help you achieve an outdoor oasis. Do you ever find yourself scrolling through Pinterest to look at patio or deck ideas?
​You're likely to browse patio ideas when the temperature begins to warm up. Anyone living in Ohio understands how long winters can make you yearn for warm and sunny weather, to sit outside. 
​
But does your outdoor space make you want to go back indoors? Wood deck contractors can help you create a beautiful and functional outdoor space. The functionality of the deck plans depend on your specific needs, but sun-deck and patio contractors can help you meet these needs. 

Start by thinking about the activities you may want to do while sitting outside. How does the time spent outside look in your mind? Is it set up with a cafe feel, or would you instead enjoy spending time surrounded by greenery? Answers to these questions will help your local patio builders to help you with a new design.

​Outdoor Living Spaces

Another thing to think about is the size of the space or the area of your new balcony or patio. Would you like to build a sun-deck off of your bedroom, kitchen, or family room? It's ok if you don't have a design in mind. Knowing how you'd like to use your outdoor space will give the contractors an idea for your expectations or patio design.

​Nonetheless, it is essential to provide careful consideration of how you'd like to utilize the extra outdoor space. 

Once you imagine yourself sitting outside, the next thing to think about is the sun's position as it relates to your house. If your new patio or sundeck area is too sunny, it can cause discomfort during the afternoon sun's peak. To combat this, some people choose to add a deck awning, or a pergola style design to offer relief from the hot sun. Patio contractors will have the experience and knowledge of the type of shading you'll want.

Decks & Patio Shades

Either an awning or pergola would satisfy this need, and both are elegant choices. Some awnings are retractable, which gives you some versatility, but you can also manage the same with some pergolas. For instance, pergolas that sit over the top of your sun-deck can be fabricated to include a retractable cover.​

How Much Does it Cost to Build a Deck or Patio?

Building a wooden landscape or patio can be costly but, budgeting for a project of this scale will help you prepare for the bill. There are a few things to consider if thinking about the cost, but mainly it's the construction materials.

• Secondly, since we took note of the material cost above, you may want to consider what type of decking material you'd like to use. Examples include (natural) wood, (pressure-treated) wood, composites, or stone and concrete. 
• ​Thirdly, the details such as stairs, rails, lighting and the color of your deck boards can drive up the cost. These details are more specific to the design of your exterior or patio. 
• Finally, while we are speaking of design, benches, awnings or pergolas, screened in porches, and planters all add to the functionality of your outdoor living space. The more intricate your plan, the higher the cost.

Of course, there are other components for calculating the cost of your new exterior space. These are just a few nuggets to think about during your planning process. So, in summary, remember the size, material choices, details, and add-ons will affect the price of your new sun-deck or patio. Call a local patio contractor to learn more about deck installation.

Deck Repairs & Porch Repairs

Nothing dampens your outdoor tranquility more than a rotten or damaged wooden deck. You'll probably have to consider porch repairs or hiring a porch builder if you live in an older home. It's common for your deck to require regular maintenance, especially for those who live in northeast Ohio. Weathering is a significant element contributing to the constant battle against your decking. 

Deck Cleaning and Staining

Cleaning and routine maintenance of your deck can keep costs low in the long-run. Here are some tips for maintaining the quality of your outdoor living space. 

• Inspecting your deck regularly for popped nails along the floorboards and railing helps keep the structure sound. Replace the ones that are missing, rusted, or broken, and re-hammer the ones that rise.
• Clean your deck annually. A simple detergent solution is viable. Be sure to rinse it thoroughly. If you use an outdoor area rug during the year, you should remove it before the winter months to reduce mildew.
  • A bleach solution helps to remove mold (1 part bleach, 1 part water). Using a deck brightener afterward helps the longevity of the lifespan of your wooden deck. 
• Stain your deck to preserve the life of the wood. Try applying a new coat of stain that contains a commercial sealant every two years. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the application of the stain. If you don't understand how to use it, manufacturers often post a "how-to video" on YouTube. 

If the damage is beyond regular maintenance, it may be best to seek a professional for repairs. There's nothing worse than taking on a DIY project that goes wrong. It's smart to reduce the risks of overpaying for material or parts by appreciating the expert skillset of a contractor. 
​
In summary, inspect your deck regularly. Clean and remove stains as well as mildew. And, stain your wood deck to preserve the lifespan and combat against weathering. Have pictures ready to show to your deck builders. ​

Deck & Patio Designs

The more detail that you can give them, the better their chances of choosing the right imagery for you. Start by taking photos of your exterior home, also jot down some measurements if possible. Indeed, they can do this themselves (and most often will), but in this pandemic era, it's still a good idea to have this information available when you are requesting a quote.

The contractor may be able to use this information to prepare a presentation for you sooner. Then you can evaluate their deck plans and ideas. It's impressive to see the transformation of your home through the eyes of a skilled patio designer. 

Home Improvement projects are rewarding once it is completed. 

Keep in mind that this design is not permanent. You can select different options and choose to modify the look presented from your deck builders.
