Screen Porch & Decks




Large screened-in porch with redwood floor, walls, and ceiling. Features include vaulted ceiling, built in natural gas grill (no tanks to mess with), ceiling fan, outdoor speakers, privacy.











Click on the arrow for a short video demonstration of how easily the triple lanai door operates both as a regular door and fully extended to completely open the living room to the screened porch and outdoors. You can enjoy the treehouse effect everyday, rain or shine.

Autumn colors are enjoyed daily in the Fall from the screened in porch. Wider lakeviews from the porch, deck, and house are offered in wintertime.


Sunrise from the screen porch which faces due East. Spectacular evening moonrises are always a fun surprise as well.

The open deck off the screen porch was built in 1998 with the redwood restored in 2003. It offers the best view of the lake from the house in all seasons. A catwalk deck leads to the south master bedroom.

Cozy nook on the open deck.

In the Spring of 2011 the new owners expanded and reconfigured the large open south deck. They added a hot tub, outdoor kitchen including a pizza oven, grills, storage, and built in serving/eating area. They also added a staircase leading to the lower patio thereby incorporating the two separate areas into one large flowing entertainment space.


Notice the new pergola perfectly matches the style of the front porch pergola. One would never think the two areas were built over ten years apart.







This almost makes me wish it was still ours. Great job Pete!!! Enjoy it.





Here is how Pete connected the upper deck with the lower patio.  Brilliant.  He just had the redwood finished and it appears he used Sikkens again.  Pete and his architect have done a great job of blending the new construction with the previous additions.
