One Team, One Roof
One Vision
Our designers and builders work side by side on every project, turning the renderings you approve into a finished outdoor space built for Georgia weather and family life.
Custom Outdoor Living Spaces
Your outdoor space should feel like a true extension of your home, a place where mornings start slow and evenings stretch long. At Atlanta Porch & Patio, we walk every homeowner through a clear design build process that brings your ideas to life from first sketch to final reveal.
Our design-build team handles the design phase and the construction phase under one roof, so you spend less time juggling contractors and more time picturing yourself in the space.
Let’s Discuss Your Ideas
At Atlanta Porch & Patio, we want to make your dream and vision for the outdoors a reality by understanding it first. How are you going to use the space? What are your likes and dislikes? What makes you feel comfortable when you step outside?
Let’s start with a phone or email consultation so we can gather the right information to provide thoughtful solutions. We want to learn as much as possible about you and your family and how the space is going to work. Not sure what you want? We can help with that too. Let’s get started.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the design-to-build process?
The design build process combines design and construction under a single contract with a single entity. Instead of working with separate entities for drawings and building, you work with one design-build team from first sketch to final reveal. This design-build method is used widely across the construction industry in the United States and is known for cost savings, shorter timelines, and better coordination on every construction project.
What does the design phase look like at Atlanta Porch & Patio?
The design process starts right after your initial consultation. A team member sketches out conceptual design options based on your goals, your home’s layout, and your budget. You review materials, finishes, and drawings before the construction contract is signed. Every detail gets documented before the construction process begins on your property.
Does design-build cost more than hiring separate contractors?
Often, the answer is no. Design build projects handled under a single contract tend to reduce surprise costs because pricing is grounded in real construction methods, not assumptions. The lowest price is rarely the best value, but our best practices during the material selection process and design phase help keep your budget steady. You can find more details on our Cost vs. Benefit page.
How long does a typical outdoor living project take?
Timelines depend on the size and scope of the work. Most projects move from initial consultation through the design phase in a few weeks, with the construction activities taking another four to twelve weeks depending on complexity. Custom masonry, outdoor kitchens, and large additions sit on the longer end. You will see a full construction schedule before any building starts.
Why choose a design-build company over working with multiple contractors?
A construction company that handles both design and building means you avoid coordinating separate entities. Our team handles construction services, material orders, and on-site work under one roof. This approach to project delivery is widely recognized as one of the best practices in the construction industry, and it tends to lead to fewer surprises and stronger results for homeowners across metro Atlanta.
