Outdoor Living

Extend the Way You Live Outdoors

The best moments happen outside: morning coffee on the porch, dinners around the grill, evenings by the fire. As an outdoor living contractor in Winston-Salem, NC, Conrad & Conrad designs and builds spaces that turn your backyard into the favorite room of your home, all across the Piedmont Triad.

What's Included in This Service

Everything it takes to live well outside

Whether you're picturing quiet evenings or big backyard gatherings, we design outdoor spaces that fit your home and how your family likes to spend time. Our outdoor living work includes:

  • Custom decks.

    As an experienced deck builder in Winston-Salem, we craft decks in wood or low-maintenance composite, built to last and designed to fit your home.

  • Covered and screened porches.

    A covered porch that lets you enjoy the outdoors rain or shine, and screened rooms for bug-free evenings.

  • Patios and hardscapes.

    Working with trusted trade partners, we create patios and outdoor gathering areas that flow naturally from your home.

  • Outdoor kitchens.

    From a built-in grill to a full outdoor kitchen for entertaining, we build the setup that makes you the host.

  • Fire features and more.

    Fire pits, pergolas, and finishing touches that make the space feel complete.

  • Finished basements, too.

    If you're expanding living space, ask about turning lower levels into additional living areas.

  • Full project management.

    Honest pricing, guided selections, permitting, and constant communication from first plan to final walkthrough.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

We build custom decks, covered and screened porches, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pergolas, and finished lower-level living spaces. If you can picture it in your yard, we can help you design and build it.

It depends on the size, materials, and features you choose. A simple deck is very different from a covered porch with an outdoor kitchen. We provide honest pricing early, with fixed-price or cost-plus contract options, so your budget stays clear from the start.

Yes, and we consider it essential. We match materials, rooflines, and finishes so your deck, porch, or patio looks like a natural extension of your home rather than an afterthought.

We do. We manage the permitting and approvals your outdoor project requires, so you don't have to navigate the paperwork yourself.
