Decks & Patios

Adding a deck or patio is often the next step for homeowners looking to improve their backyard design. However, there is a lot to consider. Do you want a deck with railings? What is the best material to use? What about the resale value and maintenance?

Decks are typically raised off the ground and can be made from wood or a wood composite. Wood decks need to be stained and sealed regularly, especially in sunny areas.

Decks also require a building permit and are subject to regular inspections. Patios, on the other hand, are ground-level outdoor living spaces that can be built from brick, concrete, pavers, stone and more. Patios require less upkeep than decks and do not have the same safety requirements as elevated constructed surfaces. They also do not usually require a permit. However, they may be subject to weight restrictions and need to be inspected. This is why it is important to have a professional install your patio or deck.

Outdoor Kitchens

Few summer pleasures are better than a backyard cookout. But harried hosts who spend too much time running back and forth between the kitchen and grill aren’t making the most of their outdoor entertainment space.

An outdoor kitchen makes meal prep easier and helps you stay engaged with friends and family while the food is cooking. It can range from a simple cooking station to a full-size gourmet kitchen that can easily accommodate large crowds.

This functional kitchen and bar from Marie Flanigan Interiors include a glass-front deli-style refrigerator stocked with beverages, a counter-to-ceiling backsplash in pale buttery stone, and wood cabinetry that contrasts with the darker-toned patio floor. A reclaimed wood planter wall and tall angled pergola shelter the kitchen from the elements. Bright blue chairs around the dining table add a pop of color to the space.

Home Additions

Home additions are a popular way to increase a home’s usable living space. They can range from relatively simple attic or basement expansions to expensive full-size conventional additions that may include a new second story. They also include garage conversions and secondary living structures attached to a main house, called DADUs (detached accessory dwelling units).

One of the biggest things homeowners need to keep in mind when considering a home addition is whether it will enhance resale value. It is easy to want a bigger kitchen, more bedrooms or a sunroom that adds a lot of extra square footage, but this kind of renovation can detract from the overall look and feel of a home.

For example, a beautiful two-story primary suite addition to an existing home featured here is luxurious and spacious yet still fits perfectly into the home’s historic makeup. This kind of seamless transition is a hallmark of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that GJK Remodeling is known for across Charlotte.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Many homeowners choose to use outdoor living spaces as a way to add livable space without adding on to their home’s square footage. A custom deck, front porch, patio or hardscape offers a relaxing spot to spend time with friends and family. These exterior spaces also help increase a property’s resale value.

This outdoor living area from Mindy Gayer Design Co features a paved stone patch of lawn centered around an outdoor fire pit and seating arrangement, creating a cozy spot for entertaining and reuniting with loved ones. The modern furniture and clean, neutral palette gives this space a contemporary vibe.

If you’re looking to add a little extra flair to your backyard, consider installing a water feature. Whether it’s a simple fountain or a babbling creek, the sight and sound of moving water is proven to lower stress levels and provide a sense of tranquility. Add in a few lounge chairs and a coffee table for a complete relaxation oasis.
