Decks

Decks are wonderful additions to your backyard. It's your opportunity to make your backyard something special and unique with a well-designed and well-executed structure. Decks are elevated floors built outdoors and connected to your own home. They give you a large spatial area to place plants, tables, chairs and just about any other decorations or pieces of furniture you may want outdoors. I promise you; your backyard will become a beautiful thing.

Exterior Renovations/Refurbishment

Don’t worry, I'll deliver on your needs while constructing the proper plans and using the most effective and efficient materials to maintain your home’s protection from elements that may cause it to structurally decay. As I've said before I’ll work with you every step of the way to provide you with something that'll leave you smiling and loving your home THAT much more.

As-Built Drawing Package

I also provide complete As-Built drawing services for your existing property, be it residential or commercial. These drawings provide you detailed information about your own property in terms of floor layouts with accurate area calculations, existing all electro-mechanical services equipment etc., and building sections showing structural components and existing structures. Some other things to note are exterior elevations showing heights, window design, and roof lines. This information can enable you to plan future renovations or extensions to the existing floor space for additional habitable space.
