Custom deck design and framing, including multi-level and wraparound layouts
Space Transformers Kitchen and Baths designs and builds custom decks and pergolas that extend your living space into the Western Kentucky air, with the same project management and craftsmanship standards we bring to every kitchen and bath.
Homeowners around Hardin and the Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley shoreline live outdoors for most of the year, and a well-built deck or pergola is what makes that possible. As a dedicated deck and pergola builder, we treat outdoor structures with the same design discipline we apply to interior remodeling: real drawings, real material selections, and a schedule you can count on.
Whether you’re picturing a simple cedar deck off the back of the house or a fully engineered pergola over a paver patio, our team handles the layout, structural planning, and finish work as one connected project. We’re an outdoor living contractor first, which means we think about sun angles, sightlines to the water, and how the space will actually be used before a single post goes into the ground.
Every deck and pergola we build is custom drawn for your lot, your home’s architecture, and the way your family entertains, not pulled from a generic template.
Our outdoor living construction process covers everything from the framing below the boards to the finish carpentry overhead. We coordinate materials, permitting, and labor so you have one point of contact for the entire project.
Every project follows the same organized remodeling process we use across our kitchen, bath, and outdoor living work, adjusted for the realities of outdoor construction and Kentucky’s weather patterns.
Building outdoor living spaces requires a different skill set than framing a wall inside a climate-controlled house, and it shows in the details. Here’s what sets our approach apart for deck and pergola projects across the Hardin area.
Choosing the right footprint and materials matters as much as the build quality itself. A deck that sits in full afternoon sun needs a different pergola pitch and shade strategy than one tucked under existing trees, and we walk through those tradeoffs during design.
Material choice also depends on your maintenance appetite. Cedar and treated pine offer a warmer, more traditional look but need periodic staining, while composite decking holds its color longer with less upkeep, an important consideration for lake-area homes exposed to humidity and sun.
We also plan for how the deck or pergola connects to the rest of your outdoor living space, including walkways, an outdoor kitchen, or a future screened porch, so today’s project doesn’t limit tomorrow’s plans.
Beyond decks and pergolas, our team builds complete outdoor living spaces, including outdoor kitchens and screened porches designed to work together with your new deck or pergola.
