Classic Wood Deck & Custom HVAC Enclosure
Under $50,000 in 2024
This functional and inviting backyard features a beautifully crafted natural wood deck elevated by modern black accents. To complete the exterior transformation, our team also designed and built a custom matching wood privacy screen to discreetly conceal the home's HVAC units, proving that even simple upgrades can drastically improve your home's curb appeal.

A Functional, Beautiful Backyard Upgrade
Sometimes, a backyard just needs a well-executed, classic update to tie the whole exterior together. For this project, our goal was to create a functional and inviting outdoor transition space. We built a beautiful natural wood deck designed to flow perfectly from the home's existing French doors. The warm, rich tones of the natural wood grain bring an inviting feel to the outdoor space, blending perfectly with the home's siding and the beautiful surrounding trees.
Modern Details & Clever Solutions
To give this classic wood deck a more modern edge, we integrated sleek black metal balusters and matching black post caps into the railing system. Not only do these dark accents add a crisp visual contrast, but they also reduce the maintenance required compared to traditional painted wood spindles. We took the exterior upgrade a step further by addressing a common backyard eyesore: the air conditioning units. Our team constructed a custom, matching wood enclosure to discreetly hide the home's dual HVAC units, instantly boosting the property's clean aesthetic.
