• Structural decks (especially elevated decks)

• New doors/windows that change openings

• Major exterior structural work

• Roofing replacements (project-specific)

• Electrical and gas work for outdoor kitchens

Timeline varies based on scope. A small patio upgrade can move quickly. A full exterior transformation with windows, doors, decking, and roofing requires planning, ordering, and coordinated scheduling.
