  • 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.
