Charlotte Screened Porches are Custom Designed and Custom Built!

Charlotte screened porches are as much a part of “Americana” as they are contemporary living.  The very words conjure fond memories of cool spring evenings, hot summer nights, and families enjoying homemade ice cream on the screened-in porch!

The Charlotte Remodeling Company builds custom screened porches of all sizes, styles and budgets!  Screened porches can be simplistic or can be an extension of complete indoor living with energy-efficient glass windows, doors and central air and heat.  Budgets can range from $3,500 to your wildest imagination!  We’ll work with your budget to build you a beautiful screened-in porch!

We have designed and constructed so many different types, sizes and budgets of screened porches over the years.  We have developed a list of items we consider when talking with you about your screened porch.

How do you want to “use” your new screened porch?  Is it for actual living expansion, morning newspaper reading, cookouts, insect escape (!), or just simple shelter from the weather?

How will building your new screened porch affect the natural light to the adjacent rooms?  Will it completely block sunlight?  Will you need a skylight installed to let light in?

How about a fireplace or wood stove?

How many doors will you want?

Glass windows or just screen?  What type of material do you want as your ceiling?  How high?  How many ceiling fans?  Is central heat and air extending to the screened porch?  How many electrical outlets?

Internet or computer outlets?  Cable or satellite TV outlets?  What about built-in speakers?  Any plumbing or outdoor kitchen sinks?  Is the screened porch going to be built on an existing patio or a new foundation?

The sky is the limit with outdoor screened porches in Charlotte!  We will meet with you and help you determine all of the various needs you will need and want in your screened porch.  Plus we will help you determine a budget that works well for you.

If you would like more information on how you can have a custom screened porch built at your home, please call Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 or email cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com.  We look forward to working with you on your new screened-in porch!

Charlotte Outdoor Living Patio Wood & Stone Structure Remodeling Projects Look Awesome!

There has always been something really pretty about designing and building with different types of wood and stone.  The big pines, cedars and redwoods just look amazing with different stones.

This photo is from a recent Home-a-rama entrance.  I really think the beauty of the design, the rafters, the “heaviness” of the wood and stone give this structure a feeling of strength, stability, longevity and endurance.

The curving cut of the braces give this structure character and spirit!

Now how would you use this at your home?  We’ve designed and built so many different kind of outdoor structures, patios, gazebos, pool homes, and outdoor kitchens.  But wouldn’t this look good as a style to anchor your outdoor kitchen?  Or what about covering a patio by the pool or a stoop outside your patio door? 

These next photos are just some different ideas of projects that the Charlotte Remodeling Company has completed for homes around Charlotte.

Please call master carpenter and owner Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 or email cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com for a free in-person design and build consultation.  You’ll find us to be experienced, trustworthy, creative, passionate and caring for your home and property!

Charlotte Porch, Patio & Entryway Roof Coverings – Adds Beauty & Function to Your Charlotte Home!

Here’s an idea to add functionality and character to your home…add a decorative roof covering over an entry way into your home!

Together with their functional and decorative features, such as doors, steps, balustrades, pilasters, and entablatures, entrances and porches can be extremely important in defining the overall character of a building.

This particular client project was to design and build a matching roof covering over an exterior entry door to a wine cellar.  The roof covering adds beauty while giving the homeowner functionality for protection from the weather.

Charlotte Outdoor Living Builder - We Do It the Right Way!

Outdoor living areas in Charlotte have become an exciting way for homeowners to incorporate the pleasures of nature and our beautiful outdoors with family living areas. The concept for the outdoor room has remained the same but new advances in architecture, lighting, and furniture have dramatically increased its functionality in the modern home.

Outdoor retreats infuse nature with all of the comforts that we enjoy indoors. Basic outdoor rooms contain a space for cooking and dining and more elaborate concepts include everything from sofas and beds to spas and meditation areas. The possibilities for outdoor rooms are almost limitless. However, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind when planning and creating an exciting and useful space that you and your guests will be able to take pleasure in for years to come.

1. Actual space needed.

You’d be surprised how much space a 20′ x 20′ sunroom or a 15-foot gazebo really takes up. Try cutting pieces of string the length of your planned outdoor addition and laying them on the ground. Add an extra foot for security! This will give you an idea of how much space is really needed for your project.

2. Plan ahead for electricity, HVAC and plumbing.

Is your new outdoor space going to be covered, enclosed or totally open? Will you want electrical outlets, outdoor sinks and appliances, or natural gas? These are the basic infrastructure items that will need to be thought of prior to any building.

3. Neighborhood covenants and HOA regulations.

There are rules and guidelines that cover most outdoor living additions and new structures. We will take care of all of these for you. But you need to consider these rules when thinking about your outside addition. Checking your neighbor’s backyards can help guide you. What do they have in their yards?

4. Transitional indoor/outdoor rooms.

Here’s a new trend for outdoor living areas: transitioning from an enclosed sunroom or outdoor room to an open patio area to a covered gazebo area. This new trend in outdoor living areas gives homeowners three distinct areas: the safety and temperature-controlled environment of the indoor sunroom, the open air and exposure to sun of the patio area, and the covered and/or screened enjoyment of the gazebo. Throw in a hammock and you’ll never have to go back to your bedroom!
