Outdoor Spaces You'll Actually Use, Rain or Shine

Porches & Outdoor Living in West Michigan

The right outdoor space changes how you live in your home. A covered porch lets you enjoy a rainy afternoon, a screen porch keeps the bugs out on summer evenings, and a full outdoor living area becomes the heart of your warm-weather gatherings. Our BUILDIT team designs and builds outdoor spaces that make the most of West Michigan living.

We serve homeowners across Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Muskegon, Norton Shores, Fruitport, Ferrysburg, Holland, West Olive, and Allendale.

What We Build

Outdoor living means different things to different homeowners, and we tailor each project to how you want to spend your time outside:

• Covered porches that provide shade and shelter while connecting to your home's architecture
• Screen porches that let you enjoy the outdoors without the insects
• Outdoor living spaces with features like fireplaces, kitchens, and built-in seating
• Pergolas and shade structures to define and shelter your space
• Integrated lighting for evening enjoyment

Design and Planning

We start by understanding how you want to use the space and how it should connect to your home and yard. Then we plan the structure with care, from foundations and framing to roofing, drainage, and code compliance. Tying a porch into an existing home and roofline takes experience to get right, and that is exactly what we bring.

Built for Our Seasons

West Michigan weather demands outdoor structures that can take freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect moisture, and snow load. We build with durable materials and proven methods so your porch or outdoor space holds up for years and looks like it belongs.

What's the difference between a covered porch and a screen porch?

A covered porch has a roof for shade and shelter but stays open to the air, while a screen porch adds screening to keep insects out. We help you choose based on how you want to use the space.

Can you tie a porch into my existing roofline?

Yes, and doing it well takes experience. We plan the structural connections and rooflines carefully so the porch looks and functions like part of your home.

What features can I add to an outdoor living space?

Options include fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, built-in seating, pergolas, and integrated lighting. We help you prioritize features that fit your goals and budget.

Will it hold up to West Michigan winters?

Yes. We build with durable materials and methods suited to our freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and snow, so your space lasts.

Is financing available?

Yes. We offer financing through Michigan Saves to help you plan your investment.
