Exterior Additions & Renovations
Exterior additions and renovations can improve how the home connects to the property, add usable covered space, and bring several aging or disconnected features into one coordinated plan.
Common project goals
- Add or improve a covered outdoor area
- Update an entry, porch, deck-adjacent area, or exterior transition
- Connect a new structure to existing outdoor spaces
- Refresh worn exterior finishes and details
- Coordinate multiple exterior improvements under one scope
What may be included
- Demolition and site preparation
- Framing and finish carpentry
- Covered-area, porch, or deck-adjacent improvements where applicable
- Siding, trim, flashing, drainage, and weatherproofing coordination
- Door, window, roofline, and exterior-detail coordination when included
- Permitting, engineering, and specialty-trade coordination when required
Feasibility depends on site, zoning, setbacks, structure, and permit review.
How the process works

Exterior Additions & Renovations FAQs
What types of projects does McLendy Construction take on?
Pergolas and gazebos are our primary focus. We also evaluate patios and pavers, fencing, exterior additions and renovations, roofing, project-related electrical work, and other residential exterior improvements based on scope, location, schedule, permitting, and trade requirements.
What is the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?
A pergola generally has a more open roof structure that defines an outdoor area and can provide partial shade. A gazebo normally has a solid roof and provides greater shelter. The right choice depends on how you want to use the space, the site, desired weather coverage, and budget.
Can you build the patio, structure, fence, and lighting as one project?
Potentially. One of the benefits of planning the full outdoor space together is coordinating layout, access, foundations, pavers, fencing, roofing, drainage, and electrical needs before construction begins. Final availability depends on the approved scope and applicable trade requirements.
Do pergolas and gazebos require permits?
Permit requirements vary by city, size, height, attachment method, setbacks, electrical scope, and other project details. Permit responsibility and any engineering needs must be confirmed during planning and documented in the agreement.
