Summer’s Starting: Is Your Deck Ready?

By admin on May 29, 2017

Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of summer. How well is your deck working out for you? The first gathering of the season can reveal the problems with your deck that you’ve been ignoring – things like uneven porch steps, deck railings that aren’t exactly secure, and the fact that there’s just not enough space for everyone to relax and have fun.

You don’t have to suffer with a substandard deck all summer. If you act now and connect with your Framingham deck builders, there’s plenty of time to get a great deck put on that has every feature you want. Think how awesome it would be to have a deck with enough space for everyone. Built in seating can include storage for kids’ toys. Outdoor kitchen features can include grilling stations and refrigerators strategically positioned to hold your favorite adult beverages.

Love relaxing next to the fire? Your Framingham deck builders can incorporate fire features into your new deck design. Some fire features are built in while others are units that rest on the surface of your deck: choose the fire feature that’s right for your family’s need and budget. We can assure you that Smores prepared with marshmallows toasted on your deck are the superior version of the summer snack classic – but you don’t have to take our word for it. Try it for yourself and see!

The nice thing about having a deck built now is you have the option to choose PVC or composite decking. These decking materials simply didn’t exist even one generation ago. Now you can have a colorful deck that won’t warp, that insects have 0% interest in snacking on, that resists mold and mildew, and that requires no maintenance. Now we don’t know about you, but no maintenance sounds like a recipe for easy summer living!

Laying on the Deck, Getting a Tan: Life’s Simple Pleasures

By admin on May 19, 2017

Summer is getting closer every day. It’s time to start thinking about how you’ll be spending those wonderfully warm, sunny days. Many of life’s simple pleasures like laying out on the deck getting a tan or curling up with a good book and a tall glass of iced tea take place in the summer – especially in Framingham, where the skies are exceptionally blue and there’s a pretty view in almost every direction.

Another simple pleasure is enjoying a fire. Summer is the ideal time to gather with friends around a fire and catch up – we all live such busy lives, it’s really a treat to spend time together. Kids love toasting marshmallows. Your deck builder in Framingham, MA can incorporate a fire feature into your deck design, or you can choose a self contained unit that’s designed to sit on your deck and safely contain a small fire. It’s a good idea to make sure there’s a fire extinguisher positioned on your deck – safety first!

Is there anything better than a burger cooked on the grill? BBQ fans love having everything they need to whip up a great meal easily accessible on the deck. Outdoor kitchens run the gamut from the bare-bones basics to luxurious grill stations even a professional chef would love. Your Framingham, MA deck builder can incorporate refrigeration, running water, and more into your deck design – just let them know what you’d like to have, and they’ll make it happen.

Sleeping under the stars is a simple pleasure. Kids love staying outdoors late at night: it’s a chance to count the stars and try to spot fireflies blinking on and off in the yard. Set up the sleeping bags: if bugs are an issue, consider a screened-in porch for sleeping quarters. You get all of the fun of being outdoors without aggravating mosquito bites!
