Front Porch Addition for Outdoor Living
 Do you have a family that loves entertaining outdoors, but your porch or patio space doesn't quite accommodate everyone?
Stephen and Amy McMasters had that exact dilemma and turned to Vision Design Build Remodel for help creating an addition perfect for the outdoor living space they dreamed of.
It is always our goal to create a new addition that integrates so seamlessly with the existing building that it is difficult to tell where the original ends and the new begins. We are excited that this project so beautifully reflects us reaching that goal.
"We love our new outdoor space! We’ve already had two birthday parties and the space easily held 20 people, providing that togetherness we hoped for. It’s exactly what we wanted and we expect lots of wonderful memories will be made here. This is the house our kids will want to come back to.
We highly recommend Vision Design Build Remodel. We’ll definitely call on Cody for our next project.”
—Stephen & Amy McMasters, Lenoir, NC

NCHBA Legislative Day
As Vice President of Region 9, I spent time with our elected officials in the NC Legislative Building in Raleigh discussing issues important to housing. It was an honor and privilege to represent our region to some of the key decision makers within North Carolina. We were delighted by a visit from the Governor. He addressed our group informally and acknowledged how important housing is to NC recovery.

 Golfing for Gold
It has given me great satisfaction this year to participate in several golf tournaments that served as fund raisers for the building industry. The money directly supports the education of students in construction-related fields.
Increasing the number of high-quality trade professionals in our state and region is incredibly valuable to me as well as to my clients—it truly is GOLD!
See photos and find about the tournaments here.

 Create an Amazing Backyard: How to integrate a deck into your yard’s landscaping
By Brent Gwatney
 When it comes to your backyard, the possibilities are endless. The popularity of simple, boxy deck and landscape designs is transitioning to a desire to create something unique and modern. From multi-level decks to decks shaped like leaves, homeowners are imagining amazing designs and figuring out how to make them come to life. The rise of deck accessories like railing and lighting have opened the door even wider to creative outdoor spaces. These accessories, paired with inspired designs are allowing homeowners to blend their decks to feel like a part of the landscape, not just an afterthought or free-standing platform.
A strong trend in deck design is the segmentation of separate smaller deck platforms. These “mini decks” can be built in places where a traditional deck might not fit, allowing for use of every part of a backyard, even those with a strange shape or intruding landscaping elements. Because of materials like composite decking, it is also becoming easier to build around these existing elements. With better workability than wood, composite decking can be curved to seamlessly encircle a tree or frame a garden. Brands like MoistureShield® can even be installed with ground and water contact, allowing you to put deck elements where you thought you couldn’t and opening up the design possibilities even more.
 Deck elements of different shapes and sizes can also be incorporated into all areas of your yard by using decking materials and accessories that match your central element to create a boardwalk, small patio or even a pool surround. Adding lights and railing to these elements creates attractive lines for the eye to follow and further ties your entire backyard together.
For a deck that requires railing, you don’t have to sacrifice the style of the rest of your space. Options like aluminum railing with glass or cable infills provide safety with an understated design, emphasizing the views around a deck and bringing a raised deck and its surrounding yard together almost seamlessly. Even a space that may not require railing, like many docks or  marinas, can be customized with a non-traditional railing design. For example, using rope strung between posts can give your dock extra visual appeal.
While you are planning your next outdoor project, consider the possibilities you have to create a living space that is as beautiful as it is functional. With these designs that channel upscale parks and luxurious resorts, anything from barbecues, pool parties, or just enjoying nature can be done in the comfort of your own backyard.
Brent Gwatney is Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing for MoistureShield composite decking, and serves on the North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) board of directors.
