Exterior and Outdoor Living

The homeowners wanted to replace their aging deck with a covered outdoor living space that would allow them to enjoy their backyard in more comfort throughout the seasons. They envisioned a space for relaxing, entertaining, and dining outdoors while adding the warmth of a fireplace and using durable, low-maintenance materials that complemented the home’s architecture. 

Hurst Design Build Remodel designed a custom covered porch that combines the comfort of an outdoor room with the durability of premium exterior materials. The project replaced the existing deck with a spacious covered structure featuring an electric fireplace, composite decking, architectural columns, decorative stonework, and integrated lighting. Careful attention to the home’s existing architecture allowed the new addition to feel like it had always belonged. 

• TimberTech composite decking, stairs, and railing system 

• Dutch Quality cultured stone fireplace surround 

• Modern Flames electric fireplace 

• James Hardie vertical panel siding 

• CertainTeed roofing 

• Covered porch with tongue and groove stained wood ceiling 

• Decorative beam wraps and architectural columns 

• Integrated recessed lighting, under rail lighting, and ceiling fan 

• Outdoor serving area with custom cabinetry

The completed covered porch creates a comfortable outdoor retreat that extends the home’s living space well beyond its interior walls. With its inviting fireplace, durable composite decking, premium exterior materials, and thoughtful architectural details, the new outdoor living area provides the homeowners with a beautiful destination for entertaining family and friends throughout much of the year.
