Patio & Deck Remodeling in Lighthouse Point
Shade, drainage and wind load decide whether an outdoor space gets used in August or ignored. We design for all three and pull the permit the structure needs.
Patio & Deck work in Lighthouse Point
Nearly every Lighthouse Point home backs onto a canal with a dock, so remodels regularly bundle seawall caps, dock rebuilds and pool decks with the house, and the 1950s–60s ranch homes are increasingly torn down for two-story rebuilds.
Building permit pulled by PSR for any structure or railing. Nearly every Broward municipality issues its own building permits through a city building department; the county’s Building Code Services Division covers the unincorporated areas, and the whole county sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
In South Florida an outdoor room has to survive afternoon storms, UV that bleaches wood in a season, and a building code that treats a pergola as a structure. We build in composite, pressure-treated pine, concrete and aluminum, and we size everything to the wind-load tables the inspector checks.
What we build
- Covered patios and lanais tied into the house roof or free-standing.
- Composite and wood decks with hidden fasteners and code-compliant railings.
- Pergolas and shade structures in aluminum or wood.
- Screen enclosures re-screened, repaired or replaced.
