Top 3 Things Your Deck Needs To Elevate Your Outdoor Entertaining
Exterior Remodeling
A beautiful and practical outdoor area will inevitably improve your ability to entertain guests, and decks can play a crucial role in elevating your space. There are certain characteristics homeowners should consider when pursuing the perfect deck for outdoor living and entertaining.
Carefully planning your deck project is key to securing a great space for guests and increasing home value. Blackdog Home Services offers top-notch outdoor services designed to accomplish the deck of your dreams.
1. Outdoor Seating & Fireplace
The first point of consideration is seating. Make sure you select couches, chairs, and loungers that are comfortable and practical without sacrificing style. Play around with different materials, colors, and patterns to create a space that’s fun and fits seamlessly with the aesthetics of your home.
Adding a fireplace or fire pit to your outdoor deck design is a great way to improve the comfort and warmth of the exterior space.
It will also enhance the overall ambiance of the area, making it a cozy and relaxing place to spend time alone or with others.
2. Space for Games & Ambiance
Another wonderful way to achieve a fun and fresh exterior atmosphere is by adding games.
A ping pong table, corn hole set, and chess/checkers boards are some examples that provide hours of entertainment, whether for a night spent with the family or a large party with friends.
Hanging string lights around the deck is a timeless way to achieve additional lighting and increase the space’s ambiance, and there are various bulb shapes and tones to choose from.
3. Screened-In-Porch or Deck
Screened-in porches and decks offer a range of benefits for homeowners to consider, including increased livable space/extended season, protection from elements/insects, privacy, and versatility for activities.
Adding ceiling fans will further increase ventilation and comfort. Dining tables allow you and your loved ones to enjoy meals together when the weather permits.
With entertainment systems and stereos, you can enjoy your favorite movies/shows and music outdoors — the possibilities are endless with the addition of a professional deck or porch.
Additional Features To Improve a Home’s Outdoor Space
When the base design for your exterior deck project is complete, there are other features to consider for further improvement. Outdoor kitchens and/or bars are perfect for hosting. Unique seating such as hammocks, swings, and built-in benches add character and convenience.
Hot tubs and saunas are a worthwhile investment for heightened relaxation, and winding down by a built-in fireplace or fire pit is the perfect way to end a night.

Seamless and World Class
Blackdog was the most professional business that I had worked with. Everything from the beginning of the project to the end was handled exceptionally and I felt confident that the project was going to get done correctly as they continually strived for my satisfaction. Scheduling and budgeting a large interior… James Y.Methuen, MA
Top-Notch Outfit
Blackdog is a top notch outfit... we had a major renovation at our home. We had never done any work of this magnitude, but from design to renovation never felt uncomfortable or out of touch with where things stood. We felt like we had full control through the whole process… Sonny Z.Lexington, MA
Look forward to additional projects!
We hired Blackdog to remodel our master bath and we could not have been more pleased with the process from start to the finished product! Our designer was awesome and took into consideration all of our requests. It was a pleasure to see the design she crafted come to life… Tonya H.Londonderry, NH
Integrity, professionalism and craftsmanship
If you're looking for a truly full-service contractor, I cannot recommend Blackdog Builders highly enough! Blackdog is the perfect combination of integrity, professionalism, and craftsmanship. Susan S.North Andover, MA
VERY happy with the result!
This was a complete kitchen overhaul — strip back to the studs and start new. Blackdog did the design and build. On the whole, we had a very good experience with Blackdog. The work was finished within the proposed cost, and the three-month schedule was kept — work went over… David K.Boxford, MA
