Explore Each Space

Four ways to live outside — open to fully enclosed.

It's one spectrum: an open deck or patio → add a roof → add screen → add glass or panels for a fully enclosed, all-season room. Each space below has its own page with details, pricing, and FAQs — start here, then dive into the one that fits.

Decks →

Open and covered decks, composite or wood, built to code by a factory-trained TimberTech/AZEK builder.

Screened Porches & Covered Patios →

We build the structure, then screen it — covered porches, screened porches, and covered patios.

Sunrooms →

Fully enclosed, all-season rooms with Eze-Breeze vinyl panels or glass, built on a proper foundation.

Porch Screening →

Already have a porch? We screen it with the tight, sag-free ScreenEze system.

How to Choose

Which outdoor space is right for you?

It comes down to three questions — how you'll use it, when you'll use it, and your budget. We'll walk all of it at your free consultation.

01

How will you use it?

Lounging and grilling in nice weather → a deck or patio. Bug-free dining most of the year → a screened porch. A true room you heat and cool → a sunroom.

02

When will you use it?

Spring through fall → open or screened. Year-round → covered with Eze-Breeze panels, or a glass sunroom.

03

What's your budget?

Open decks start lowest, screened porches sit in the middle, glass sunrooms are the top end. Ranges are below.

04

Start now, expand later

Build the structure right and you can add a roof, screen, or panels down the road. We plan for it from day one.

Common Questions

Outdoor living FAQ

Deck, porch, or sunroom — what's the difference?

It's a spectrum of enclosure. A deck is open (or covered with a roof). A screened porch adds screen for bug-free, open-air use. A sunroom adds vinyl panels or glass for a fully enclosed, all-season room.

Which outdoor space is cheapest?

An open deck or patio is the lowest cost; a screened porch is mid-range; a four-season glass sunroom is the top end. See the pricing ranges above.

Can I start with a deck and add a roof or screen later?

Yes — if it's built right. We engineer the structure to carry a future roof or screen so you can expand in phases. Tell us your long-term plan and we'll build for it now.

What's the most popular outdoor project in North Atlanta?

Screened porches — our heat and mosquitoes make a bug-free, shaded space the sweet spot for most homeowners. Sunrooms are next for those who want true year-round use.

Do you build the whole project — structure and finish?

Yes. We're outdoor-living builders first, so we engineer the footings, framing, and roof, then screen or enclose it — one team from the ground up.

Do you pull permits and build to code?

Always. Decks, covered structures, and sunrooms are structural projects, so we engineer to code, pull the permit through your local jurisdiction, and handle inspections.

Do you warranty your work?

Yes — in two layers. Your workmanship (labor) is backed by a one-year HomeVantage warranty, and the decking, screen, and window systems we install carry their own manufacturer warranties.
