Expand Your Living Space Outdoors

Adding a porch or deck is one of the best ways to extend your living area while enjoying the natural beauty of New England. From cozy covered porches to expansive open-air decks, these additions create the ideal setting for barbecues, relaxing evenings, or family gatherings.

More than just added space, a custom outdoor addition can significantly boost curb appeal and resale value — especially when it’s built to last.

Covered Porches vs. Open Decks

Deciding between a covered porch and an open-air deck depends on how you plan to use the space. A covered or screened-in porch offers protection from the sun and insects — perfect for all-season relaxation. An open deck, on the other hand, provides more flexibility for entertaining, grilling, and soaking up sunshine.

Not sure what’s best for your home? Our design team will help you weigh the pros and cons of each option and choose a solution that works with your layout, lifestyle, and goals.

From classic wood decking to low-maintenance composite materials, we offer a full range of options to fit your aesthetic and budget:

Customize your space with elegant features like:
