Custom deck construction in wood or low-maintenance composite decking
Space Transformers Kitchen and Baths designs and builds custom outdoor living spaces for homeowners across Hardin and the Western Kentucky Lakes Region, bringing the same careful planning and craftsmanship we apply to every kitchen and bath project.
Many homeowners we meet have a backyard that never gets used the way it should. A worn deck, a patch of yard with no shade, or a porch that only sees action a few weeks a year is a missed opportunity, especially with Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley so close by.
As a full-service outdoor living contractor, we plan and build the structures that turn that space into something you’ll actually use: decks for grilling and morning coffee, pergolas for shaded seating, screened porches for bug-free evenings, and outdoor kitchens for entertaining without running back inside.
Every outdoor living construction project starts with a real conversation about how your household spends time outdoors, then moves into a design and build process managed with the same discipline we bring to interior remodeling.
An outdoor living space is rarely just one feature. It’s a combination of structure, shade, seating, and sometimes cooking space, all working together around your yard’s layout and sun exposure.
Depending on your goals, your project may include:
Building an outdoor living space involves more moving parts than most homeowners expect: structural footings, drainage, local permitting, and material selection all factor in before the first board goes down. Our process keeps every step organized and communicated clearly.
Homeowners investing in a deck, pergola, screened porch, or outdoor kitchen want a remodeling contractor who treats the exterior of the home with the same seriousness as the interior. Here’s what sets our approach apart.

Western Kentucky summers bring heat and humidity, and properties near Kentucky Lake or Lake Barkley often deal with extra moisture and insect pressure. These conditions shape real decisions about your outdoor living space.
For decking, we weigh pressure-treated lumber against composite materials based on your maintenance preferences and budget. For pergolas and screened porches, roofline and orientation matter: a poorly placed structure can trap heat instead of providing relief, so we plan for prevailing breezes and afternoon sun angles.
Outdoor kitchens require extra attention to ventilation, weatherproof cabinetry, and utility placement for gas, water, or electrical lines. We walk through these choices with you during design so the finished space performs well for years, not just in the first season.
