When Gayle and Doug wanted to transform their outdoor space, they knew they needed a solution that would not only enhance their home but also address a few challenges with their existing deck. Right Angle Home Services was thrilled to take on the project, aiming to deliver a quality outdoor space that they could enjoy without worries about bugs, weather, or wear and tear.

The Challenge: A Deck in Need of Renewal

Gayle and Doug were eager to create an outdoor space that provided the comfort and functionality of an indoor room while allowing them to enjoy the beauty of their yard. Their existing deck was due for a complete makeover, and they wanted something more substantial—an area that could be used rain or shine, and free from the annoyance of bugs. They needed a structure that would withstand the elements, look beautiful, and blend seamlessly with their home.

Our Solution: A Stunning Screen Porch Addition

After discussing their needs and vision, we came up with a design that included a covered screen porch with a beautiful gable roof and cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling. Our team, led by craftsman Trenton, got to work by carefully planning each step of the process to ensure a seamless and worry-free experience.

Here’s a breakdown of how we transformed their deck:

  1. Demolition and Preparation: We began by removing the existing decking, framing, and railing. The house siding was removed to ensure a solid attachment of the new structure, and we relocated any items that could be damaged during the construction process.
  2. Concrete and Framing: After excavating and grading the area, we poured concrete piers to support the new deck and a dedicated slab for the grill area, ensuring a solid foundation. We framed the gable roof with a 12-16” overhang for added coverage and durability. By integrating the roof framing directly into the house, we created a stable and cohesive structure that seamlessly matched the home.
  3. Electrical and Plumbing: To enhance the porch’s functionality, we installed an overhead fan with a new switch and re-routed both the sprinkler system and gas line for optimal placement. The team also adjusted the sump pump line to accommodate the new deck posts, keeping everything running smoothly.
  4. Finishing Touches: Our craftsmen installed a beautiful cedar ceiling and an innovative screen system that completely encloses the porch, keeping insects and debris out. Gayle and Doug chose a metal-railed deck with stairs that connected to the garden.
  5. Cleanup and Final Touches: We take pride in leaving our job sites spotless. After construction, our team removed all debris and, where needed, restored the lawn to its original condition with seeding and straw.

The Result: An Outdoor Oasis Without Compromise

The finished screen porch has transformed their backyard. They can now relax outside without the hassles of weather or pesky insects ruining the experience. Whether it’s for an evening meal, a morning coffee, or entertaining friends, their new screen porch has quickly become a favorite spot for the couple.

They expressed their satisfaction with the result in their own words:

“Right Angle just completed construction of a new covered deck for our home. Trent and John did an outstanding job. Their attention to detail and accuracy was exceptional. Several times, they pointed out concerns and recommended adjustments before we were even aware of the issues. They offered helpful suggestions on choices we needed to make. Daniel visited our site multiple times as well. We are very happy with our choice of Right Angle. Quality construction at a reasonable price. They would definitely be our first call should a future project be considered.”
