Our Outdoor Living Design & Building Process
At Steele Construction, we believe building an outdoor space should be an exciting, stress-free experience. That’s why we’ve developed a clear and collaborative process to take your vision from idea to reality — with no guesswork along the way.
​
1. On-Site Consultation & Vision Planning
We start by meeting you at your home to walk the space, take measurements, and talk through your goals. Whether you’re dreaming of a large entertainment deck, a quiet covered porch, or a complete backyard transformation, we’ll listen carefully and offer insight on what’s possible within your space and budget. You don’t need to have plans — just an idea of how you want to use the space.
​
2. Custom Design & Material Selection
Once we understand your vision, we’ll develop a tailored plan that balances aesthetics, function, and flow. We’ll help you choose the best materials — including composite decking, treated wood, railings, lighting, pergolas, or privacy features — and explain the pros and cons of each. Our design recommendations are based on your lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and how you want to enjoy the space over time.
​
3. Transparent Estimate & Timeline
You’ll receive a clear, itemized estimate with no hidden costs and no vague language. We’ll also outline a realistic build timeline based on weather, material availability, and project scope. From day one, we make sure you know exactly what’s included, when it starts, and how long it will take.
​
4. Skilled Construction with Clear Communication
Our crew shows up on time, treats your property with respect, and follows proven construction practices. We coordinate everything — from demolition and prep to framing and finishing — while keeping you informed of progress. Whether it’s a one-level platform or a complex multi-tiered structure, we deliver consistent, high-quality results.
​
5. Final Walkthrough & Ongoing Satisfaction
Before we wrap up, we’ll do a detailed walkthrough to make sure everything looks and functions exactly as planned. We’ll answer any last questions, offer maintenance tips, and make sure you’re 100% satisfied with the finished project. Our goal is to build something you'll enjoy for years — and feel proud to share with family and friends.
