Decks & Patios in Burbank
Decks, patios and covers in Burbank laid out for meals, play and bare feet, with permit drawings prepared when the city requires them.
Plates carried out to a table, a toddler on a ride-on toy and someone tending the grill can all share a Burbank deck at the same hour. The outdoor room has to handle those trips between the kitchen and the yard, with space to pull chairs back and a clear way from the door to the steps. Silver Pine Remodeling sizes the space around those daily trips first, then picks the surface, the cover and the steps to suit it.
Paths, table and shade
The lane from the back door to the steps stays open, so chairs stay out of the way down to the lawn. The dining spot gets enough depth for chairs to slide back without bumping a rail, and the grill goes where smoke drifts away from open windows. A solid cover over the table or an open pergola above a lounge corner decides which hours the space gets used, so it is drawn in at the start. Lights at the door and on each step make evening trips safe for small children and grandparents alike.
Surfaces under bare feet
Barefoot use is where decking choices show. In direct sun, composite boards usually get hotter than wood, and darker composite colors hotter still, so wood or a light composite under some shade is kinder to feet in the afternoon. Wood needs sanding and a fresh seal from time to time to stay smooth, and capped composite mostly asks for a wash. For a patio at ground level, light concrete or pavers give a firm, even surface for stroller wheels and high chair legs. Outlets placed near the table keep cords out from under everyone.
Decks & Patios in Burbank: what families ask
It usually does once the cover is fixed to the house wall or shades a real share of the yard. Drawings go to the City of Burbank building and safety division, showing the posts, footings and the connection at the house wall. We check the rules for your address and prepare and submit the set when a permit is required.
Often, yes. The boards are set a small step below the door sill so rain stays outside, and the threshold is flashed and sloped outward. If the house sits on a slab close to the ground, a patio at near-floor height may suit better. An even step-out lets a child or someone holding a tray move through without tripping.
Wood is cheaper to buy and wants sanding and resealing now and then. Capped composite costs more up front and mostly needs a wash. Under a cover either one stays comfortable, and in open sun wood is the gentler surface for bare feet. Samples set out in the yard for an afternoon make the choice easier.
