Rustling of leaves. Soft breezes. Cooler temperatures. Ah yes, the fall season is finally here! We know that is welcome news for the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex considering the horrifically scorching summer that we had to endure. With the cooler temperatures, it becomes much more enticing to spend time outside, whether it’s getting around to those house remodeling projects that you just couldn’t bring yourself to do in the summer or simply relaxing in the backyard after a long day at the office.
Fall is the perfect season to get your outdoor area ready for entertaining. One design style that is becoming increasingly popular among local residents is the addition of a pergola or arbor over their patio. It becomes a focal point of your outdoor living area with its open lattice beams and its distinctive architectural style. The pergola can be combined with a solid covered roof as well to give part of the living space more protection from the elements. It can give the homeowner the ability to enjoy the outdoor space even in the midst of rain or snow. Just simply add some landscaping, comfortable patio furniture, and a loved one or two and you have created a new addition to your home out of square feet you never knew existed.
Considering adding more square feet to your home but would like to have the comforts of air-conditioning and heating at your convenience? Then Brennan Enterprises recommends adding a sunroom or patio enclosure to meet your needs. The largest benefit of a sunroom is the ability for unlimited seasonal use, not to mention the wonderful panoramic views of nature just on the other side of the glass. One of the best parts about patio enclosures is the fact that they can be built on multiple foundation choices, such as an existing deck, concrete patio, or kneewalls. And with Brennan’s exceptional quality of construction and materials used, some homeowners may realize a 70-100% return on their investment upon resale (depending on your region and other factors).
If a simple expanded patio with seating space is what you are looking for, building a wooden deck might be just the right fit for your space. Square, boring decks are a thing of the past. Take the extra time and design a deck structure that is aesthetically pleasing while also making the best use out of your backyard space. Decks can be built with natural wood, pressure treated wood, or a composite material made of wood and plastic. All of those materials will require some form of maintenance however, so that is something to keep in mind when planning the addition of a deck. If properly taken care of, a deck can last 50 years or more.
