Already have a deck foundation? We can often convert existing decks into screened porches or sunrooms, saving you money on the base structure.

We plan your project with you as one organized process, from the first idea through the drawings and the permit to construction.
Step 1
How you will use the space, its size, access to the yard and your budget, confirmed with a site visit and measurements.
Step 2
We work with an architect, who prepares the deck design and drawings when the project scope calls for them.
Step 3
We prepare and submit the application and coordinate with the building department. Approval and review time are the municipality's decision.
Step 4
We schedule the required inspections as the work reaches each stage. The timeline depends on the project, the permit and material availability.
