By improving your outdoor living space, you can enjoy the beauty of each of the four seasons in Maryland and Virginia. In addition to creating the gracious outdoor living space you desire, a Design Build Contractor can also improve the curb appeal of your home.
More people are expressing their sense of style by customizing their outdoor living areas. While front porches and well-designed portico can add an architectural presence to the entrance of your home, porches, patios, decks and balconies also improve your living space. According to an article by Trex, experts predict outdoor living spaces will be a $5.7 billion market by 2016. Sixty-three percent of architects said they are seeing more demand for outdoor living space. In fact, decks were among the top three features being requested by new home buyers.
Improving curb appeal
Whether you want to feel good as you walk up to the entrance of your home or are planning to list your home for sale, curb appeal can go a long way. A Design Build Contractor can come up with architectural renderings of a new dramatic entrance before constructing it. At Hopkins & Porter, our design team has experience renovating homes that are deemed historic as well as modern houses. With the design build approach, you can make sure all of the architectural plans for renovating meet state and local requirements.
Spending more time outside
During the hot summers, some homeowners want to cool off by the pool. A Design Build Contractor can add a freestanding pool house next to a swimming pool or erect a gazebo. Whether you prefer contemporary, traditional or transition design styles, a design-build contractor can work with you. Outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pizza ovens, winding garden paths and outdoor media rooms are just a few of the features that reflect homeowners’ desire to spend more time outdoors on their own properties.
Screen-in or enclosed porch, walls of windows, balconies and decks all allow a homeowner to truly appreciate his or her natural surroundings. For more information about how Hopkins & Porter can assist you with a custom home or renovation, please contact us.
