This beautiful 3-season room and deck project in Greensboro, NC is located in the relaxed community of brick bungalows in Sunset Hills.
When we initially met the homeowners, their only outdoor living space consisted of a worn out deck. The deck was located on the rear of the home and was covered in moss, looking much worse for wear. After consulting with several other contractors, the homeowners called us. Their objective was to transform their backyard with a new deck and a 3-season porch. The obstacle was that they had a large oak tree sitting in the middle of the space where they wanted to build. They didn’t want to remove the tree and they were looking for a contractor that could work with the tree. Other contractors told them it had to come down to build their outdoor space. Archadeck of The Piedmont Triad designed a space that would save the tree and fulfill their wishes to save the old majestic oak.
The reasons the homeowners wanted to save the aged oak tree were twofold. One, the tree served a dual purpose of providing shade and adding charm to the backyard. The other reason was cutting the old giant down would be costly with a price tag of $8,000. We were able to take all these factors into consideration when we designed their new outdoor space.
Greensboro 3-Season Room Adds Beauty and Function
Our design began with a 3-season room complete with aluminum framed, vinyl glazed windows. The choice to use this window system took the space from a screened porch to a room they could use for extended outdoor living. The 3-season windows allow the homeowner to choose how much protection they want in their space. This innovative system consists of high quality vinyl glazed windows on a convenient sliding panel system. The sliding panels allow homeowner’s to utilize as much or as little window as they want, allowing them to take advantage of fresh air on a hot day or slide all the windows into place for protection on a cooler day. The addition of these 3-season windows brings versatility to many outdoor room designs.
A Greensboro NC Deck Design with Purpose
Part of the design of this space includes a bridge walkway that begins at the door of the 3-season room. This walkway was designed with the purpose of saving the oak tree. It extends 7 feet past the tree to the newly designed deck.
An existing patio increases the outdoor living area, which we extended and added stamped concrete. The 3-season room also includes a cozy electric fireplace. The space is built with both safety and beauty in mind. The interior walls and ceiling are covered in stain-grade Ply-Bead and the outside is finished with cement lap siding, which ties into the existing house. The window frames are white, which contrasts beautifully with the beaded Ply-Bead.
The Greensboro, NC homeowners are elated with their new space. Where other contractors did not want to take the time or make the effort to incorporate the tree into the final plan, we did!
