Design makes a difference in
outdoor living home additions

Far from being add-ons, outdoor living additions are an integral part of your home. That’s why we believe they should be designed with your family’s needs and your home’s architectural style in mind. Well-executed outdoor living spaces should never appear to be an afterthought; every detail and material should complement your main residence.

A single point of contact empowers success

It takes many experienced professionals to bring your outdoor living space to life. Some remodelers shy away from managing the many moving parts that it takes to create these complex areas; we at Palmer Custom Builders relish the process!
