~$110k turned this covered patio into 348 sq ft of cedar, stone and screen.
Be honest: how much of your backyard do you actually use? This one gets used most of the year. Here's where the money went, and why:
• California red cedar 8x8 posts and beams — heavy timber that carries the roof without warping
• Cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling, with hidden LED troughs so the light washes the wood instead of glaring down
• Ventless gas fireplace in stacked stone — no chimney to build, and the room works well past summer
• Bluestone over a concrete subfloor — a floor that never rots, warps or needs staining
• Full screen surround with Andersen storm doors — pool views, no bugs
• Fans, lights, outlets and speakers wired in during the build, not added later
200+ projects. $12.3M built. 4.8 stars from 45 homeowners. Roofed builds carry a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Custom projects start at $40k, and a project started now is looking at a February build.
First step is a free 30-minute call: design ideas, material comparisons and a ballpark price, all by phone. Nobody comes to your house until you confirm, and there's no sales pitch.
