DECKS & OUTDOOR LIVING

Make More of the Space Outside Your Door.

A great outdoor space should feel like an extension of your home.

Bonafide Builders designs and builds custom decks and outdoor living spaces throughout Central Maine, creating places for gathering, relaxing, entertaining and enjoying more time outside.

From simple decks to larger outdoor living areas, we focus on thoughtful layouts, quality materials and craftsmanship that fits naturally with your home and property.

CUSTOM DECK CONSTRUCTION

Built for the Way You Want to Live Outside.

Your deck should do more than connect the house to the yard.

It should give you a comfortable place to spend time, host family and friends, enjoy meals outside or simply slow down at the end of the day.

Bonafide Builders manages deck and outdoor living projects from planning through construction and finishing details, helping homeowners create spaces that work with the home, property and the way they actually want to use them.

We consider layout, access, materials, railing, traffic flow and long-term maintenance so the finished space is as practical as it is inviting.

The goal is simple: create an outdoor space you’ll actually want to use.

BUILT AROUND YOUR OUTDOOR LIFE

Outdoor Spaces Designed for More Time Outside.

Every property is different, and every homeowner has a different idea of what makes a great outdoor space.

Bonafide Builders can help with projects such as:

Custom Decks

Decks designed around your home, yard and the way you plan to use the space.

Railings & Stairs

Functional, finished transitions that improve access, safety and the overall look of the project.

Composite Decking

Durable, low-maintenance decking options for homeowners looking to reduce the upkeep associated with traditional wood.

Outdoor Entertaining Areas

Larger layouts designed around seating, dining, grilling and gathering with family and friends.

BUILT FOR MAINE

Outdoor Spaces Designed to Hold Up.

A deck in Maine has to handle more than everyday foot traffic.

Snow, rain, temperature changes and seasonal use all influence how an outdoor space should be planned and built.

Bonafide Builders considers materials, structure, drainage, railings and long-term maintenance when planning each project.

We can help you compare decking options and choose materials that fit the appearance you want, the maintenance you’re comfortable with and the way the space will be used.

A great outdoor space should look good when it’s finished—and continue performing for years to come.

Depending on the project, covered porches and similar outdoor structures can be part of the overall design.

That depends on the home, property, intended use and project requirements. We can talk through what you want to accomplish and determine what makes sense for the space.

The earlier, the better. Even if you are still deciding on layout or materials, starting the conversation early gives us more time to understand your project and plan the next steps.
