Project Description
Our clients were looking to update their old worn out deck with a more modern and inviting three season addition. They wanted their new deck to blend seamlessly with the home. We were excited to work with the family, and St. Louis designer, Connie Hornburg, to design and build the outdoor living space of their dreams! Some of our favorite features of this project are the fireplace, indoor grilling area, and of course the bahama shutters! The herringbone pattern tile in the fireplace adds just the right amount of on trend flare to the indoor sitting area. Because of the brown tile color, it doesn't scream for attention, yet still makes a statement. The indoor grilling area brings the best of the outdoors inside! No need to wait for a sunny day to host a barbeque. Now, this family can fire up the grill even when the weather is less than ideal. However, one of our favorite features of this project are the bahama shutters. These shutters add such a distinctly unique attitude to the side of this home. The look is all about relaxation, but the red color also seems ready for a good time. We can just imagine this family making memories and enjoying time with friends and loved ones no matter the weather. The two biggest challenges for this project were paying close attention to property lines, and matching existing exterior finishes. To tackle the first obstacle, we worked closely with the city's planning and zoning commission to research and adhere to the correct set of boundaries. The last thing we wanted is for any part of our project to end up in the wrong backyard! For our challenge, we needed to match the existing exterior finishes as closely as possible. To accomplish this, we worked side by side with the homeowner, giving them options and guidance throughout the entire process. We made sure they had the final say on each finish before installation. This project is a clear winner in this category because of the amazing transformation it has made to this home. The quality of materials, craftsmanship, and attention to detail are second to none. The family was extremely satisfied with the entire experience, and have since received a multitude of compliments from neighbors, friends, and family. This deck renovation added more than jusrsquare footage, it added life to this home.
