Years ago, a porch contractor typically designed and built a variety of porches for occasional use by families. It was a place to occasionally relax and sip a cool lemonade in the heat of summer or a sanctuary to gaze at the wonderland known as autumn.
Today, it’s a different story.
Both porch contractors and screen porch contractors agree that Birmingham families are growing and expanding their daily living footprint outside their homes. These new porches are becoming one of the most significant home improvements to hit Birmingham in years – and Archadeck Birmingham is leading the way.
Screen porch contractors now focusing on building spaces that make homes more livable and functional
The new buzz word around here is “flex rooms,” and in essence, that’s exactly what they are, flexible extensions of the primary home for a variety of daily uses.
As the most reputable porch contractor, the Archadeck team of screen porch contractors marvel at how their clients share their plans for their new additions. Thanks to innovations in home building materials technology, the porch contractor suite of building enhancements and comfort features is growing exponentially.
Porch contractors are expanding their recommendations of custom porch building materials
Years ago, when it came to designing and building outdoor porches and outdoor living spaces, it was typically all about wood. Pressure-treated pine lumber was usually at the top of the list, and it is a local favorite.
But knowing that these new porch contractor creations are starting to become a more integral part of daily living, that is changing. Many families are now asking their screen porch contractors to use low maintenance materials that stand up to weather and rigorous use.
A popular Birmingham eco-friendly low maintenance choice is TimberTech composites. Built to last, with warranties for decades, it is virtually indestructible.
With a core of recycled wood particles and plastic polymers, each plank is capped and sealed on all four sides, so nothing can penetrate it. It will never get moldy, rot, warp, host insects or suffer the other problems that wood may experience.
As for looks, you simply can’t beat it. All TimberTech Composite Collections look – and feel – just like wood. Its grained texture is just an effect. It will never splinter, chip or fade.
Its sister low maintenance brand – AZEK Advanced PVC – has no wood particle at all. It’s all polyvinyl chloride and carries warranties even longer than the composites.
Year-round use and seamless flow throughout the home is of key importance
Easy. Convenient. Accessible. Inviting. Intelligent. Beautiful. Integrated. These are the new key attributes for daily living in the world of porch contractors and screen porch contractors.
Now being designed for use all year long, request for creature comforts are also at the top of the list:
• Heaters for patios and decks
• Fireplaces and fire pits
• Custom drink rails
• Outdoor kitchens and pizza ovens
• Oscillating ceiling fans
• Built-in seating accents and retaining walls
• Integrated echo-friendly outdoor lighting
That’s living today in the USA.
