In Philadelphia, where history meets innovation, homeowners are finding new ways to maximize their living spaces—especially when it comes to the outdoors. Whether you live in a classic South Philly rowhome or a twin in the Northeast, adding a roof deck or backyard deck can completely transform the way you enjoy your home.
At Mr. Contractor, we’ve helped countless homeowners reimagine their properties with custom-built outdoor spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. Let’s explore why roof decks and home decks are two of the best investments you can make in your Philadelphia home.
🏙️ Roof Decks: The City’s Best-Kept Secret
In densely populated areas like Fishtown, Center City, and Graduate Hospital, outdoor space can be hard to come by. That’s where roof decks come in—they allow homeowners to reclaim unused space above their homes and turn it into something truly special.
Stunning Skyline Views
A well-constructed roof deck gives you front-row seats to Philadelphia’s skyline. Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee or hosting friends for an evening happy hour, the view from a rooftop deck is one of a kind.
Year-Round Enjoyment
With the right design features—like a pergola, privacy walls, and outdoor heating—you can use your roof deck spring through fall and even during mild winter days.
Increased Home Value
A roof deck isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade—it’s a smart investment. Homes with finished outdoor spaces often command higher resale prices and attract more buyers.
An Urban Escape
Escape the noise and crowds of city life without ever leaving home. A roof deck offers a private, peaceful retreat just steps away from your living room.
🌿 Traditional Decks: Classic Comfort in Your Own Backyard
For homeowners who have the yard space, a traditional backyard deck provides endless opportunities for comfort, style, and entertainment.
Versatility and Function
Decks serve as natural extensions of your living space. From outdoor kitchens to lounge seating and fire pits, the possibilities are endless.
Perfect for Entertaining
Backyard decks are ideal for summer BBQs, birthday parties, or just a quiet dinner under the stars. Add lighting, a built-in grill, or planters for a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Customized to Fit Your Home
Whether you prefer the look of pressure-treated wood, low-maintenance composite, or a mix of materials, we’ll design a deck that complements your home’s architecture and meets your specific needs.
Safe and Long-Lasting
Our decks are built with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. We make sure your deck is not only beautiful but built to last through Philadelphia’s changing seasons.
