Why it works

Decks & Patios, done the Homescape way.

Every decks & patios project starts with a conversation about how you live, what you need, and what your site and budget allow. The best outdoor spaces feel like an extension of the house. We design decks and patios around your views, your doors and how you like to entertain. One designer stays with you from the first sketch to the final drawings, and the details below are what make the difference.

Flow from inside out

We look at where your doors, kitchen and living areas are, so the deck or patio feels like part of the home.

Views and sun

Placement matters. We think about the lake, the yard, the afternoon sun and your neighbors' windows.

Pricing

Priced per project.

Additions, remodels, garages, pole barns, decks and barndominiums are priced per job, because every existing house and building site is different. Smaller projects typically run $500 to $1,500, large additions and whole-house remodels run $2,000 and up, and barndominium plans run $800 to $3,500. Your quote is confirmed at a free consultation, before any design work begins. New home plans have published per-square-foot rates.

Good to know

Plans drawn for Michigan code.

Michigan homes are permitted under the Michigan Residential Code, which is administered by the state's Bureau of Construction Codes and based on the International Residential Code. The building department that covers your township, city or county reviews the drawings before it issues a permit. Homescape 3D prepares every plan set with that review in mind, drawn the way builders and inspectors expect to read floor plans, elevations, sections and details.
