Overview

Comfort Beyond The Back Door

This backyard in Dallas was transformed from an underused space into a warm, inviting screened porch designed for everyday relaxation. By building a custom cedar-framed addition on a newly engineered foundation, we created a comfortable outdoor living area that extends the home’s usable space while providing lasting protection from the elements.

Before

Unused Backyard Space

The area behind the garage was small, oddly shaped, and offered little practical use. Poor drainage and limited functionality prevented the homeowners from enjoying the backyard to its full potential.

Features

Built For Lasting Enjoyment

The project began with a new concrete foundation, waterproofed retaining walls, and perimeter drainage to protect the structure for years to come. We then added a custom cedar-framed screened porch that provides a comfortable outdoor retreat while blending seamlessly with the home’s existing architecture and making the most of every square foot.

Throughout The Space

Natural cedar framing, durable finishes, and thoughtful construction details come together to create a screened porch that feels warm, welcoming, and built for everyday outdoor living.

The O’Brien Group Have completed a variety of projects for our home including: deck railing, deck floor repair, siding repair and replacement, replaced a wood fence, interior and exterior painting. All work was completed with excellent quality and in accordance with the estimated cost and plan of work provided and approved prior to starting work. They provided outstanding value and are our first choice for future projects. Several projects were completed from 2009 to 2017 for home modifications and repairs upon returning home from a longterm hospitalization.

We went through several local GC’s that wouldn’t give us the time of day. Shannon was immediately responsive and never stopped being so throughout the project. The usual ups and downs with any home reno were always met with “we’ll take care of it.” I have nothing but high regard for Shannon and his crew and subs. I strongly recommend you give them a shout if you want a GC that still takes pride in their work.
