This home in Northwest Dallas had a small balcony with a covered area and a large backyard. They wanted to Live it Out by adding an outdoor kitchen, fire place, fire pit and another smaller covered area off the master bedroom. Their yard went from boring to breathtaking.
Just a small covered balcony was all this home had to offer.
New doors were installed replacing the French doors and a window. Opening up this wall allows the family to transition easily between inside and out.
The new doors fold up and stay neatly out of the way.
The current balcony had to be rebuilt so the extended patio cover roof could be built to extend the space. A gas fireplace was built as the focal point of the sitting area.
The ceiling is American Nut Brown pre-stained tongue and groove by Woodtone. The flooring, a total of about 915 SF, is Botanica Teak matte porcelain tile from MSI International. The privacy wall is custom built along the side of the home behind the kitchen and along side the fire place…subtle but certainly does the job to help enclose the space.
The outdoor kitchen includes RCS brand appliances – grill, fridge, storage and a griddle. It is faced with Trespa Lumber to match the front of the home.
The granite is River White from MSI International and creates a stunning look with a waterfall application on both the island and the grilling area. This is the perfect space for hanging out or to use for a buffet.
Another view of the kitchen area – just perfect. The stone columns are Rockmount Rustic Gold dry stacked stone from MSI International. This is the same stone that was used on the fireplace and firepit.
A fire pit was added in the open area to give the homeowners an additional space to hang out.
Texas Custom Patios did an outstanding job. Justin came to my house and I explained to him what I wished to do, then came back and visited with me for the estimate. He presented to me a folder with a rendered photos of what the new patio cover would look like. I was amazed that he drew exactly what I was thinking about. He was very keen to accommodate all my requests, even taking over the pool coping job, which they usually don’t do, but did an awesome job. I contacted another company to get a different quote, but fortunately they were more expensive and far less professional. TCP was very diligent to make sure that my back yard still looked good through the job. The cover was done fast and professionally, and Justin always went that extra yard. I was really lucky that I contacted Texas Custom Patios. Highly recommended!
We will get back to soon!
