2023 Best Outdoor Living Project over $50,000

When we first looked at this project, the treated wood balcony needed extensive repairs or replacement. The owners were in the early stages of transforming their property, which included the installation of a pool, and they wanted to have a balcony constructed to complement the new outdoor living space. The owner came to us with an idea for a balcony that would also act as a covered patio for a future outdoor kitchen and seating area below. The balcony design maximizes open space through structural beams and columns. The final structure expanded the existing balcony footprint and achieved its objectives for outdoor entertainment. The second-floor balcony features Timbertek Vintage PVC decking and Keylink cable railings. A rain collection system was installed between the decking and beaded wood ceiling of the covered patio to allow the space below to remain dry and usable no matter the weather. The stone façade on the column bases and fireplace tie together the new pool hardscaping and stone façade on the house. To top it all off, the patio space below features a remote-controlled gas fireplace, rustic wood mantle, recessed lighting, and two oversized ceiling fans.
