Winter is on its way out, which means it’s time to prepare for spring and sunny days outdoors. We’ve all been dreaming of warmer weather, especially whenever the snow and ice cancels our plans and prevents us from entertaining. But once the snow has melted and the sun has warmed the world up, it’s time to invite everyone over for an outdoor gathering. Before spring officially returns, start planning how JM Construction can renovate your yard and home to make the perfect outdoor living space for spring entertaining.
Custom Porches, Decks, and Sunrooms
Perhaps the best way to enjoy spring is on your home’s very own custom porch, deck, or sunroom. They offer designated spaces perfect for setting up chairs and tables that give a wonderful view of the great outdoors without worrying about guests damaging the lawn or getting their shoes dirty.
Though the three options might sound similar at first, there is a distinct difference between them. A deck is a wooden structure attached to your house with no roof or walls, so you get unobstructed sightlines but also full exposure to the sun and wind. A porch is an open-air structure attached to the house, but unlike the deck it has a roof and screens to keep out bugs without losing airflow. Lastly, a three-season sunroom is similar to a porch, but it’s enclosed with glass floor-to-ceiling windows and doors so you’re getting the full effect of the sun, but not exposed to the wind. All three are great options for spring entertaining.
When planning your custom porch, sunroom, or deck, it’s important that they’re made out of durable materials that can withstand all seasons and weather conditions. They’re a permanent outdoor fixture of your home so they must be able to withstand everything New England’s weather can throw at them.
Outdoor Kitchen and Bar Areas
Installing an outdoor kitchen and bar area will make you a top-tier host when it comes to spring entertaining. You’ll have all the fresh snacks, drinks, and entrees you can hope for ready to eat when you have people over for graduation parties, birthdays, and casual gatherings. It’s also a bonus for you, because you won’t have people going in and out of the house tracking in dirt or grass when it’s time to refill their plates.
Spring entertaining is what every super-host looks forward to during the dreariest parts of winter, so now is the time to get started on creating your dream outdoor living space. Contact JM Construction today to request a project consultation from our experienced design-build team.
