Summer in Northeast Ohio means taking every activity possible outdoors, from relaxing and entertaining to remote work and dinner prep. You need a deck or porch that fills that need and provides all the extras that will bring your outdoor living to that level.
Current deck trends in Akron and Medina are for custom designs that address individual plans for the space. Looking for entertainment space? Built-in benches will provide extra seating. Will your deck be in full sun? A gazebo or pergola will give you some shade. At Precision Siding & Construction, creative design ideas are our specialty.
Whether you are designing and building a new deck or patio or you want to upgrade an existing deck, options are endless to turn your space into a place you can enjoy that adds value to your lifestyle and your home.
Valued features for decks, patios
- A seamless transition from indoor to outdoor – Large slider doors that fully open, blurring the line between indoor space and outdoor space, allow for easy flow throughout the warm weather season. Designs include attention to colors and materials that connect and blend your indoor and outdoor spaces.
- Identified space for specific activities – Using levels, colors, and deck patterns, deck designs can create zones for the activities that are important to you and your family, such as a dining area, reading space, or an office work zone. Popular choices for identifying these spaces include building a level that is one step down or varying deck board patterns, such as using picture frame and diagonal or herringbone designs.
- Access to herbs and more – Decks with enough sun exposure are perfect for built-in planter boxes and permanent raised beds for easy access to herbs and other veggies such as tomatoes, peppers, even citrus trees. Designs incorporate composite decking that can support permanent planters without risk of rot.
- Sustainable materials – Beyond the benefit of gardening on your deck, composite decking made from wood fibers and recycled plastics support the growing effort for eco-friendly living.
- Smart features – Today’s technology allows for LED lighting that washes decks, walls, and railings, and sound systems that are integrated with ceiling speakers, furniture speakers, and portable units, all controllable using a smartphone or tablet and making your outdoor space convenient, eco-friendly, and economical.
Custom deck and patio designs from Precision can include screening for protected space on your new deck or to upgrade an area to a three-seasons room. Add a firepit for gatherings or additional prep space and gas and water connections for the ultimate outdoor kitchen.
Remember, it takes just a touch or two to upgrade your existing deck and add value to home and value to how you live. Upgrades may include cable railing instead of traditional deck railings, a drink rail affixed to the top of the deck railing, a ceiling fan or firepit, or a water feature to fill a quiet corner.
