What We Build: Customized Outdoor Spaces That Fit Your Life
Deck Construction That Makes Outdoor Living Simple
We design and build decks that reflect how your household moves, relaxes, and gathers. From multi-level layouts and elevated platforms to rooftop decks, wraparounds, and quiet covered porches, our designs are built with purpose and practical flow. Whether you’re looking for a wood deck rich in texture or a low-maintenance composite option, we walk you through every choice.
Our work is rooted in function, with attention to structure, drainage, safety, and usability. You won’t find one-size-fits-all here—just thoughtful designs shaped by how you live and the site you live on.
Reliable Materials, Chosen with Care
Every deck begins with the right material. We offer composite decking through brands like TimberTech, AZEK, and Trex, which offer long-term durability, resistance to fading, and minimal maintenance. For those who prefer the warmth and authenticity of real wood, we also build using cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated lumber, each selected for structural integrity and appearance.
We’ll walk through the pros and cons of each and help you decide what fits best—not just today, but ten years from now.
Patios and Paver Projects Designed for Everyday Use
As a patio builder, Proper Built creates spaces that blend naturally into your yard’s layout and your family’s rhythm. We install pavers, natural stone, and other durable surfaces that look great and hold up over time. Whether you want an open sitting area, a shaded corner, or a space for casual gatherings, we design patios with simple elegance and reliable build quality.
Patios can also be paired with covers such as pergolas, pavilions, or wood structures that offer seasonal flexibility without feeling boxed in.
Outdoor Features That Add Comfort and Function
We build more than structures—we add features that make them easier to enjoy. Our deck railings are available in wood, metal, or composite and selected to meet both safety and design needs. Lighting can be integrated for evening use, and privacy screens help shape cozy, wind-protected corners.
Want to cook outside or warm up after dark? We build outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and fireplaces that bring utility and warmth to your backyard. For homes that need extra flexibility, we also install sunrooms, screen rooms, porches, and standalone structures like gazebos—spaces that feel connected to the outdoors but function in any season.
General Contracting That Keeps Projects Simple
Proper Built is known as a deck builder, but our experience extends beyond decks into full general contracting for outdoor spaces. By coordinating trusted partners like electricians, masons, pool professionals, and plumbers, we make sure every part of your outdoor project works together seamlessly. This means fewer surprises, smoother timelines, and one consistent point of contact from start to finish. We can also offer siding solutions, handle framing and concrete work, and build accessory dwelling units. We are PHIUS-certified builders who emphasize energy-efficient and sustainable building practices.
