We know what you're thinking. There's plenty of time to get started on that new outdoor living space you've been dreaming about. Summer is only in its infancy, and summer break hasn’t even begun yet for those with kids. However, the reality is different. Most people feel taken aback by the speed of summer’s arrival and sudden peak, which is why acting soon is the best way to ensure you can savor your new outdoor living space before summer concludes.
Spring began just a few weeks ago, and we're already seeing our project calendars fill with families throughout Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point who want their outdoor living projects completed while the weather is perfect for construction. At Archadeck of Piedmont Triad, we're incredibly grateful for the trust so many homeowners put in our team to design and create these spaces, but we can’t build on the ideal timeline for everyone interested. Growing demand means the timeline for securing your ideal construction window is shorter than it might appear from where you're sitting right now. So, if you've been thinking about adding a new outdoor living space to your home or expanding the one you already have, now is the best time to start the conversation. Not because we're trying to rush you, but because the timing realities of outdoor construction mean that decisions made in the next few weeks determine whether you'll be enjoying your new space this summer or waiting until autumn or 2027.
New Construction Depends on Timing & Scheduling — Don't Miss This Window While It's About to Close
Time flies, and the perfect window for us to build or expand your new outdoor living home improvement runs from now through early fall, which means if you don't capture a space on our project calendar soon, you may find yourself waiting another entire year to enjoy what you could have been using all summer long.
After your complimentary design consultation, the permitting phase alone can take several weeks to months, depending on local volume and municipal processing times. That's before we even break ground. Rather than waiting to explore options for your outdoor living home improvement project, reach out to us early to simply get the process rolling so we can help you enjoy summer evenings on your new screened porch or hosting Fourth of July gatherings on your expanded deck.
What Are Piedmont Homeowners Asking For?
The demand for outdoor living spaces right now is unlike anything we've seen in recent years. Families are realizing that their homes can offer so much more with a designated outdoor living space, and they're ready to invest in spaces that can make tangible positive differences in how they live from day to day. The pandemic changed how people think about their homes, and suddenly, a backyard became a living space that could be used for morning coffee, family dinners, weekend gatherings, or quiet evenings under the stars. The outdoor room concept has moved from luxury to necessity for families who've discovered the simple pleasures of spending time at home, but they need the right spaces to make that time enjoyable.
Among all the many spaces our team loves to create, decks are some of the most common and versatile. Some families want simple open designs that connect them directly to their yards and gardens, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that makes homes feel larger and more connected to nature. Others are looking for sophisticated covered structures with integrated lighting, ceiling fans, and even outdoor kitchens that function as true outdoor rooms where they can entertain, regardless of the weather. The beauty of a custom deck is that it is built according to your preferences, whether that means a ground-level platform that feels like an extension of your home's main floor, an elevated structure that captures views and breezes, or a multi-level design that creates distinct zones for different activities.
In addition, porches are staples in our region for their ability to make nature more approachable. There's something about a porch that captures the essence of Southern living in a way that no other outdoor space can replicate. Open porches invite warm summer breezes while providing protection from sun and rain, creating a classic aesthetic that makes homes feel welcoming and established. Covered porches can extend your usable square footage without the commitment of a fully enclosed addition, giving you a sheltered space that still feels connected to the outdoors. If you decide extra protection is a priority, screened porches solve one of the biggest barriers to outdoor enjoyment in our region, insects, allowing you to spend summer evenings outside without the constant battle against mosquitoes and moths. Three-season rooms take versatility even further with retractable windows that adapt to changing weather, extending your usable season well beyond what traditional porches offer. Front porches transform curb appeal while creating that inviting entry experience that makes houses feel like homes. The variety is remarkable, and each style serves different needs and lifestyles. Some of our many porch offerings include:
Beyond the main structure itself, we are also ready to provide you with other amenities that can make your outdoor living experience even more pleasant. For example, shade structures provide excellent protection from intense afternoon sun while still allowing fresh air to flow freely, creating comfortable zones even during peak heat when unprotected spaces become unusable. Also, pergolas can provide you with overhead coverage with their distinctive silhouettes, making outdoor spaces feel intentionally designed rather than hastily added, and they create natural definition between sun and shade zones in your outdoor space. This is especially true if you encourage vining plants to use your pergola as a trellis to develop a natural canopy. These elements might seem like extras, but they're often what separates outdoor spaces that get used daily from ones that sit empty most of the year:
