IS THE HOUSE OF YOUR DREAMS MISSING A DECK OR PATIO?
The realities of the past few years have taught many of us to live life to the fullest. Thus, it makes sense if the missing Deck or Patio makes the home of your dreams feel less so. More than that, we also learned how important the outdoors are as we sat cooped up in our houses waiting for the pandemic to abate.
Therefore, if you plan to expand your home’s living space into the outdoors in the form of a decking or patio, Romano Builders Inc. is your best bet. Having experienced what you did and worked with many clients just like you, we understand your needs and are equipped to satisfy them. We design deluxe decks and patios complete with furniture and other accessories that work together to give you the best experience in your own backyard all day, every day.
WHAT’S NEEDED TO DESIGN A DECK OR PATIO IN CALIFORNIA?
You must first decide whether you want a deck or a patio. While one is often mistaken for the other, they are different. Sure, they serve similar purposes but differ in construction, location, design, maintenance, and cost. For example, Decks are usually made of wood or composite materials and are elevated, while patios sit on the ground and are made of concrete or stones. Also, Decks are typically attached to the building, but patios can be located just about anywhere. There is more, and we’ll be all too happy to tell you about them so you can make an informed decision. Just give us a call. Consultation is free.
Decks and patios can take many different forms depending on your preferences. Perhaps what you need is a serene space where you can sit in peace and have a good time. Or maybe you want an outdoor eating location in your home, complete with a kitchen to match. Perhaps those are not what you have in mind, and you’d rather get a deck or patio by the poolside with a bed to lounge. The bottom line is that the different things needed will depend on the particular type of decking or patio you have in mind.
Your location will also determine if certain things are needed. For instance, certain areas in California require a permit from the local construction/building department. You don’t have to worry about this, though. Romano Builders will obtain all permits for you and ensure that all designs meet the local building design codes. Isn’t that sweet?
WHAT HAPPENS DURING DECK OR PATIO DESIGN IN CALIFORNIA?
It all begins with a site analysis. It is often a great idea to understand the landscape, topography, and available space to design accordingly. Some members of our team will visit your home to perform the analysis. They will work with you to develop a digital model to help conceptualize the project. The model will show the size, shape, and other features of your desired decking or patio. This means you get to see how your decking or patio will look or if it matches your expectations before its actual realization.
Next, we’ll get all the needed materials. This will vary depending on whether you want a deck or a patio. A deck will generally require things like wood and sealing to protect it. Stones, paving, and concrete will be obtained in the case of a patio.
Then, footings and frames will be installed. This means digging holes, pouring concrete, and constructing support beams. Once completed, the decking or patio with its features (like stairs, fire pits, electrical lines, chairs, day beds, etc.) will be installed. Voila! You’ve got yourself the home you’ve always wanted.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO DESIGN A DECK OR PATIO IN CALIFORNIA?
First, the cost will depend on whether you’re designing a patio or a deck. The latter is generally more expensive than the former. This is due to the additional labor required to elevate the structure and the cost of the materials needed.
The features you want to include are also another factor to consider. Do you want built-in seating? What about planters and railings? What kind of paint do you want? What will the lighting look like? Are you installing a fire pit? How much furniture is required?
Regardless, Romano Builders have an excellent reputation for giving the best within the available budget. Call us with your budget, and we’ll let you know the best options.
You deserve to live your dreams, and it’s our pleasure to make it happen.
