Screened Porch with Open gable Shed Roof

Nestled among the tall trees, this screened porch built by Deckscapes adds tons of outdoor living space to this beautiful house located in Charlotte, NC in the Mountain Island Lake area.  The wide layout allows for an eating area with table and chairs, a sitting area with couches and a large TV, and a bar area for adult time.  The roof layout is a large shed style along with an open gable to allow for a ton of natural light.  The flooring is Cox Eco Life decking boards with a Sherwin Williams semi transparent stain.  The ceiling is a tongue and groove clear pine also with a Sherwin Williams semi transparent stain.  In the ceiling are 8 separate recessed can lights set on dimmer switches to really make it calming and relaxing.  The rails are black, round aluminum ballusters with wood mid rail.  There is a pet door set into the railing to allow for easy access to the outside for their four legged friend.  We set some wall sconces into the hollow laminated columns to really make it feel comfortable when watching TV or just entertaining friends.  We finished off the project with a 2 piece untumbled paver patio at the bottom of the stairs to allow for a grilling station.  This open and inviting porch and patio allows for family and friends to Enjoy being Outside.

Covered Porch with Trex Decking, Railing and Lighting in Mooresville, NC

Deckscapes built this amazing covered porch and backyard oasis on Lake Norman in Mooresville, NC.  The porch and deck overlook a relaxing pool with a beautiful view of the lake and sunset.  We started by meeting with our clients and determining what they were trying to  accomplish.  They wanted to enjoy being outside in the porch or deck while watching their grandkids play in the pool or enjoying a spectacular Carolina sunset.  From there we began by removing their existing deck and beginning the building process.  The decking is all Trex Transcends in the Island Mist color with hidden fasteners.  The Fascia, Risers, and stair treads are also Trex Transcends in Island Mist.  The railing is Trex Transends with white posts, black top and bottom rails and black, round metal ballusters.  We added Trex post cap lighting to all of the post sleeves and Trex LED Riser lighting on all of the stair treads.  The Trex lighting adds so much ambiance to the finished project when it is all lit up.  If you were on this deck at night you would know exactly what I am talking about.  Just fantastic!  We also added a 1x6 coastal lattice around the perimeter and matched the Sherwin Williams paint color to the Trex Island Mist.  All of the pool equipment and boating gear is stored below the deck out of sight.  The porch has a shed roof due to the house configuration along with 6x6 Cox porch columns and Trex railing.  We finished the ceiling using 1x6 tongue and groove, beaded ceiling panels and completed  the ceiling and porch walls with Sherwin Williams exterior paint.  The ceiling also has 2 Hampton Bay ceiling fans and 6 recessed lights along with a dimmer for great mood lighting.  I just love the way this Deckscapes porch and deck project turned out.   These homeowners were incredible to work with and I am sure when they step out into their new Trex covered porch they will truly Enjoy Being Outside.

EZE Breeze Screened Porch with T&G Wood Floor in Davidson, NC

Deckscapes designed and built this porch in the Davidson, NC area.  We worked closely with the homeowner to understand what they were looking for in an outdoor room and how we could work together to accomplish their vision.  The floor of the porch is 5" Tongue and Groove treated pine decking.  It was stained with a Sherwin Williams oil based stain to match their interior hardwood flooring.  The porch walls are constructed with 6"x6" Cox laminated columns and a 2x6 mid rail along with black, round aluminum ballusters.  EZE Breeze vertical 4 Track porch windows in white frames and charcoal fiberglass screens were added to the exterior along with glass window panes in all the gable areas.  The porch roof is a shed roof design with an open gable in the center.  This makes trimming the ceiling slightly more difficult but really adds to the look and openness of the room's final feel (plus we love the way it looks when completed).  Recessed lighting (6 cans) and 2 Hunter ceiling fans were added to the ceiling.  A dimmer switch was added to the lights to really give the room some ambiance at night.  The ceiling was finished in a Sherwin Williams semi transparent stain and the walls were painted white to match the house exterior trim.  To complete the final product we added a 1x4 English lattice around the perimeter and painted it white to match the porch.  We added some speakers inside the porch and a 36" Larson Savannah storm door from the stairs down to the paver patio.  After the room was tastefully decorated by our clients I know that they will really Enjoy Being Outside.

EZE Breeze Porch with Fireplace and Paver Patio

Deckscapes designed and built this beautiful rear porch in February of 2018.  These clients live in the Selwyn area of Charlotte. They originally had an aging rear deck that was falling apart and not very functional and a water drainage problem in their backyard.  We built the porch large enough to accommodate guests sitting at the fireplace or  just enjoying a nice dinner with friends.  We used Cox deck boards for the flooring and stained them to match the exposed beams on the ceiling.  We added EZE Breeze porch windows on the outside so the clients can open them up to allow in a gentle breeze or close them up to stop annoying pollen or rain from coming in.   The ceiling is a flat V-Groove tongue and groove with exposed large beams stained in a dark chestnut color.  We added a gas fireplace with stone that matched their existing fireplace.  The fireplace mantle is a very old piece of wormy chestnut 4"x12" that our clients just love.  Its very rustic and look awesome.  We also removed an old French door and replaced it with a new 6' wide French door which opens out to the porch room.  We finished off the ceiling with 2 very attractive Hunter fans and 6 recessed cans which operate with a dimmer.  Outside the porch we added a large, functional paver patio using Pavestone untumbled pavers in a 2 piece design with a border to match and a seating wall which was added to help with their initial drainage problem.   Overall, this porch and patio came out awesome and I hope our clients enjoy many years of great times with their family or friends.  Deckscapes goal is always to make sure out customers Enjoy Being Outside this project should do just that.  Enjoy!

Screened Porch with Wood Burning Fireplace and Paver Patio

This a beautiful screened porch that we built in Fort Mill, SC in the Springfield neighborhood.  We started by extending the concrete floor out and pouring a large footing for the large wood burning fireplace.  From there we built the screened porch and then the fireplace followed.  The porch uses an aluminum screen track system with a darker screen for added privacy.  To finish off the ceiling we used a beaded pine board with a matching pine trim and sealed it with a Sherwin Williams semi transparent wood stain.  The fireplace was veneered with natural stone, hearth and mantle along with a large wood storage outside of the fireplace.  Afterwards we built large paver patio with rounded edges and a step off into the yard.  This project turned out to be very fun to build and very functional for the entire family.  We always want you to Enjoy Being Outside.
