Outdoor Living

Screened porches, outdoor kitchens, decks and covered living space that extend the house into the yard and stay usable most of the year.

Covered outdoor living space built by TrendMark

Let us help you with your interior or exterior remodeling project or new home build.

What outdoor living can include

North Carolina weather rewards a properly built porch. Done well, an outdoor room is the space the family uses most from spring through autumn, and it adds real square footage to how the house lives.

Screened porches, covered decks, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and grilling stations all need the same things done properly: footings, drainage, roof tie-in, and weather-rated electrical and gas runs.

We build outdoor space to the same standard as the interior, because it is attached to your house and it has to survive the weather the house protects you from.

1

Built to last outdoors

Footings, drainage and roof tie-ins are detailed properly, because this structure lives in the weather.

2

Screened and covered space

Screened porches and covered decks that stay usable from spring through autumn in North Carolina.

Outdoor kitchens

Grilling stations, counter space and storage, with weather-rated electrical and gas runs installed to code.

Finished like the house

TrendMark works throughout the Triangle: Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill, the RTP area and Wake County generally. Our mailing address is P.O. Box 5712, Cary, NC 27518. If you are near the edge of that area, call and ask, as it usually comes down to the size of the project rather than the postcode.

TrendMark is a NC General Contractor, a NC Electrical Contractor, a NC Plumbing Contractor and a NC Licensed Home Inspector. Wallace Baker also holds the state’s highest level of certification as an inspector in building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and fire code. That combination is unusual, and it means the trades that normally cause delays are ours to schedule.

It means one contract and one team for the design, the permits and the construction. You are not paying an architect to draw something, then hoping a builder can deliver it for the number you had in mind. We design to your goals and your budget together, produce complete licensed plans and specifications, and then build what those plans show.

Most of our clients do. We plan the sequence, the site protection and the access around that from the start, so the work is contained to the areas being remodeled. Clients regularly comment on how neat and tidy the crews keep the house, and that is deliberate rather than luck.

Call (919) 868-4545 or send us your project details through the contact form, and we will set up an appointment to discuss what you are trying to achieve. There is no charge for that first consultation, and no obligation at the end of it.
