Patios & decks
Ground-level patios and raised decks offer different relationships with the yard. Surface materials, drainage, circulation, and connections to doors help define the right approach.

More room to enjoy being home.
Create an outdoor space that feels connected to the house. Shorehome plans patios, decks, covered areas, and screen enclosures around how you relax and gather.

01 / Start with a clear idea
Think beyond the edge of the house.
Begin with the moment you want to make room for: coffee outside, a dinner table with friends, or a comfortable place to sit after a long day. The size and arrangement of the space should follow those activities.
Then consider the property. Access from the home, changes in level, sun, shade, and water movement all affect the design. Covered structures and screen enclosures bring additional connections with the existing house into the plan.
02 / Shape the scope
A complete view
of the work.
Start with the changes that matter to you. We’ll discuss how they connect, what the property tells us, and what belongs in the agreed project.
Covered gathering spaces
Covered patios and porches can make an outdoor room more comfortable. Roof connections, posts, footings, light, and airflow should be discussed before the scope is set.
Screen enclosures
A screened space can bring a different feel to your outdoor living area. We consider openings, access, usable furniture space, and how the enclosure meets the house.
03 / Planning priorities
Plan for the way
you spend time outside.
Picture the furniture, the route from the house, and the moments you want more of. A comfortable outdoor space starts with those everyday details.
Room to gather
Lay out the table, seats, and walking routes you want. An empty rectangle can look generous until furniture arrives.
A question to bringWill the layout work once our table and seats are in place?
Connection to home
Think about the doorway, steps, and circulation from the kitchen or living room into the outdoor area.
A question to bringHow should the space connect to the house and yard?
Outdoor comfort
Observe sun, shade, wind, and rain at different times. These conditions help inform cover, screens, and surface choices.

A clearer picture
Your questions.
Useful answers.
Ask us about the details that matter to your property. These are a few good places to start.
Should we choose a patio or a deck?
The right direction depends on the site, floor level at the house, intended use, materials, and budget. We can compare the options during a property visit.
Can an existing area be covered or screened?
We can discuss it. The structure, foundations, roof relationship, and existing condition must be reviewed before an addition to the space is defined.
Can we include a kitchen or fire feature?
Yes, these can be discussed as part of an outdoor living plan. Their placement, services, manufacturer requirements, and circulation should be considered together with the main space.
