Outdoor Feature FAQs

Do I need a permit to add outdoor features like a pergola or kitchen?

It depends on the scope and location. In NYC, structures like pergolas or outdoor kitchens may require permitting — especially on rooftops or landmark properties. We’ll guide you through what’s needed and handle the paperwork if required.

Can you build features on a rooftop or terrace?

Yes. We’ve completed many rooftop builds across Manhattan and Brooklyn. We’ll assess access, loading limits, drainage, and material choices to make sure everything meets code and functions properly.

What materials do you use for privacy screens, benches, and lighting?

We work with weather-resistant hardwoods, composite decking, aluminum frames, powder-coated steel, and low-voltage LED lighting — all built to handle NYC’s freeze-thaw cycles and tight quarters.

Can you add features to an existing deck or patio?

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us looking to upgrade what they already have. We’ll inspect the existing structure and recommend features that fit both your layout and budget.

How long does a typical outdoor feature project take?

Most projects take between 1 and 2 weeks from the start of construction. We’ll give you a detailed timeline in your proposal and keep you updated along the way.

Do you offer warranties?

Yes. We provide a two-year workmanship warranty on all installations, and we’ll register any manufacturer warranties that come with your materials.
