It’s Summertime! Some might have their Summer all planned out, while others are still thinking of how they want to spend it. What’s a common differentiator between these two groups? The state of their outdoor living space!
Frame To Finish often gets requests to help our Southwest Virginia customers envision and craft the ideal outdoor living space based on the size and contours of their existing backyard. Each home accommodates different layouts and amenities. If space is limited, it can be hard to know what to choose to go into yours! So, we wanted to offer a few of our thoughts about customizing your outdoor living space.
Big Changes On Deck
As Class A contractors in Salem and Roanoke, Virginia, we’re experts in maximizing the space you have available for your benefit. If you’re starting with a clean slate, we start with recommending the basics: decks/ porches and patios. Within these categories, you’re offered boundless deck and rail colors, materials, and enclosure options.
Sure, you could go with a classic wood deck and still make it modern, vibrant, and durable with the right stain. But composite decking has come a long way and is available in a vast range of colors and grades, plus provides far greater longevity. Railing can be wood, vinyl, or aluminum, with plentiful color choices.
Of course, whether you opt for a patio alone or combine it with a deck, you get plenty of leeway in customizing your outdoor space with concrete, brick, flagstone, and pavers of many styles!
For more enjoyment beyond Summertime alone, screened-in and three-season porches add versatility! If you really like to be outside and need maximum functionality when customizing your outdoor living space, this choice frees you to spend hours on end relaxing without the concern of bugs. Add more climate control with optional ceiling fans and blinds.
We know what works best for different property profiles and contours, as well as what’s most popular and trendy with customers. And, of course, we invite you to be a part of the creative process so the deck and/ or patio reflects your style and tastes. These are mainstays of a great outdoor living space that set the stage for more amenities!
Customizing Your Outdoor Living Space For Entertaining
Another influencing factor is how much the area is utilized for personal use versus entertaining. If your space needs to be suitable for larger gatherings, it requires some thoughtful planning!
With entertaining as a priority, customizing your outdoor living space should ensure the space is functional, inviting, and seamlessly integrated with your home’s existing aesthetic. At Frame to Finish, we help design areas that blend style and practicality—whether that means constructing an outdoor kitchen, bar seating, or a spacious outdoor dining area.
We’ll make recommendations pertaining to lighting, firepits, seating arrangements, and accessibility features to foster a comfortable and enjoyable space for all your guests!
Our experts pay attention to the details, from coordinating materials with your home’s architecture to ensuring a smooth project all around with meticulous planning, clear communication, and daily job site cleanup.
Our goal? Customizing your outdoor living space to be enjoyed year-round. It’s what our Southwest Virginia customers know us for! Ready to build something remarkable together? Let’s chat!
