We build custom outdoor living spaces in Fairfield County, including locations such as Southport, Greenfield Hill, Fairfield Beach, and Westport.

Visualize a warm Connecticut summer evening. What do you see? Is it preparing a hearty BBQ for friends and family in a custom outdoor kitchen? How about relaxing on a porch with stunning water views? Is it a movable glass wall that opens onto an expansive covered porch and dining area?  

Dine al fresco, sip wine around a fire with friends, throw a birthday party without crowding your home, and soak in some sun next to the pool. Whether you’re celebrating, relaxing, dining, or connecting, add to your quality of life with an outdoor living space.  

Our team at Raymond Design Builders is ready to transform all these ideas into a reality. Our designers will sit down with you to craft a custom design that makes the most of your outdoor space, blending perfectly with your home and the surrounding nature.

How? It’s all thanks to our proven design-build process that houses the design and construction processes under one roof. No more hiring a separate architect and builder with multiple subcontractors. With one point of contact, seamless communication, earned trust, and transparent accountability, Raymond Design Builders can offer an easy home remodeling experience, from start to finish.

Questions From Fairfield Homeowners Like You

When planning to take the plunge with a remodel or creation of a whole new space, many questions arise. Our goal is to ensure you’re confident and comfortable going into the process. That’s why we gathered a few of the most frequently asked questions from Connecticut homeowners like you. 

How much should I spend on AN outdoor space?

To be frank, the answer is mostly up to you. However, a custom outdoor living area in Fairfield County, Connecticut, can cost $15,000-$60,000. The cost of your project can vary by tens of thousands depending on your vision. What’s on your wish list? Is it a pool with a cabana, outdoor kitchen, and dining space? Or, is it simply a screened-in porch with a fireplace and weatherization to enjoy the space during colder months? Outdoor living spaces can differ quite a lot. To understand costs more clearly, the best answer can be found by speaking to a design-build professional that specializes in outdoor spaces in Fairfield County.  

How do you maximize outdoor living space?

By carefully balancing the space you have and the outdoor living space you want, an expert designer can plan the perfect placement of every element. Are you worried you may not have enough space for your wish-list? A skilled designer can explore different layouts with you to see what works and what doesn’t. You might be surprised by what you can fit comfortably and strategically in your outdoor space. 

How much value does an outdoor living space add?

The return on investment (ROI) that’s added to the value of your home will depend on your project. However, the average highest ROI for exterior improvements is up to 80%! Knowing the value a remodel can add to your home is useful information to know, but if you plan to stay in your home for life, we suggest focusing on your quality of life first and the ROI second.
