Outdoor Living Inspiration: From Sunrooms and Pergolas to Backyard Decks

Outdoor living is a big priority for many Gulf Coast homeowners due to the sunny, comfortable weather throughout most of the year in Florida and lower Alabama. Upgrading your backyard into a personalized space where you want to spend more time is the perfect idea for spring—which will be here before you know it!

We have a variety of options for revamping your exterior living spaces, from sunrooms and porch enclosures to stylish decks. Need some inspiration? Let's walk through some of the upgrades and additions we offer!

Sunrooms & Porch Enclosures

Porch enclosures are a popular upgrade for southern homeowners—because Florida and Alabama weather isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. In the dead of summer, the humidity, rain, and pesky bugs ramp up, so enjoying the great outdoors is a bit more challenging without an enclosed space.

At Hometown Contractors, we offer multiple options for backyard expansions, including luxurious sunrooms and practical screen rooms. Our sunrooms boost home value, provide an excellent space for entertainment and hosting guests, and can be used as an extra room for hobbies and relaxation. You’ll also be able to customize your sunroom according to the roof style, color options, wall configuration, and doors.

Our other options for porch enclosures include more budget-friendly designs, like screen rooms and vinyl pane rooms. Screen rooms provide excellent spaces for weather protection, relaxation and dining, and safe areas for children and pets. Screen rooms can also be personalized according to your home’s layout and your lifestyle. Vinyl pane rooms are another affordable option, offering durable structure, elemental protection, and insulation.

Patio Covers & Pergolas

A patio upgrade that can significantly boost your outdoor spaces is a patio cover or pergola. Customizable according to your needs, our covers and pergolas add shade and style to your backyard. Patio covers are personalized according to the roof style and color to fit with your home.

Our custom pergolas come in different designs based on your vision: attached or free-standing and fixed or operable. Attached pergolas are connected directly to your home, while free-standing structures can be placed anywhere on your property. A fixed (or classic) pergola offers partial shade and a touch of elegance to your yard. Our operable pergolas offer shade control with a motorized roof that can be extended or retracted to your liking.

Backyard Decks

A beautifully designed deck can completely transform your backyard from uninteresting to lively and modern. We offer full deck replacements and custom new deck installations. Our decks are not only visually appealing but also safe, sturdy, and building code compliant. When you start your deck replacement or installation journey with Hometown Contractors, you’ll be able to choose the size, color, material, and placement. Our deck materials come in composite for lower maintenance and pressure-treated lumber for a more affordable option. Deck colors include over 20 different options, from cooler gray tones to brighter shades of brown.
