Extend Your Living Space Outdoors Built to Last

Multi-level decks for entertaining, cozy patios for quiet mornings, or seamless walkouts from your finished basement. We design for lifestyle and build for durability.

Your Home Doesn't End at the Back Door

A well-designed deck or patio creates a place for morning coffee, family gatherings, and quiet evenings under the stars. But an outdoor structure is only as good as its foundation.

At Build It Right, we approach outdoor living with the same precision we bring to interior renovations. A deck with improperly spaced joists will bounce; a patio without a proper base will settle. We ensure every structural detail is managed so your space remains safe and beautiful for decades.

Whether it's a walkout deck for a rental suite or a custom outdoor kitchen, we build it right—the first time.

Outdoor Living FAQ

Your Questions, Answered

Do I need a permit for a deck or patio?
Decks attached to the house or over 24" above grade typically require permits. Ground-level patios usually don't. We handle the entire permitting process for you.
How deep do deck footings need to be?
In our climate, they must extend below the frost line—typically 36 to 48 inches deep—to prevent heaving and shifting during winter.
What is the best low-maintenance option?
Composite and PVC decking are the industry standard for low maintenance. They never need staining or sealing and resist rot and fading.
How long does construction take?
Most deck projects take 1 to 3 weeks once materials arrive and permits are issued, depending on size and complexity.
