With custom composite decks as their specialty, Breyer Construction & Landscape LLC has provided homeowners with beautiful results. Matt Breyer, President of Breyer Construction & Landscape LLC, shares his most unique deck requests from customers.

As a deck designer, I have the unique opportunity to meet with 300 – 400 folks each year who are at some stage of “thinking about” a new deck or repairing/replacing their current deck. Along the course of these encounters, I have had some questions or requests that the client felt was unique… and there have been some requests that I as a contractor felt were a bit out of the ordinary.

Fortunately, working with people to design and build “the fun rooms” of the house allows us to creatively work together to answer their questions and satisfy their requests. Keep in mind when working with a qualified deck designer or builder; this is what they do this for a living so there is a good chance that they can address your unique request.

Sometimes however, it’s using traditional manufactured products to create a more unique or personalized space, such as a pergola, roof, or gazebo to define a specific area, for example. (more…)
