See What Thoughtful Outdoor Living Can Look Like
Every home starts with a different space, a different need, and a different set of possibilities.
These are real projects completed by Johansson Builders, LLC across Upstate South Carolina, from covered porches and screen rooms to Eze-Breeze enclosures, deck rebuilds, and carefully planned outdoor upgrades.
Explore the projects that feel closest to what you have in mind.
Different Spaces. Different Needs. Thoughtful Solutions.
Some homeowners start with a bare patio. Others already have a porch or deck that does not work as well as it should. Some need more shade, fewer mosquitoes, less maintenance, or simply a better place to sit outside.
That is why our projects do not all look the same.
The goal is to understand how the space needs to work, choose the right materials and systems, and build something that feels intentional when it is finished. These projects show a range of ways that can come together.
A Closer Look at Four Completed Projects
Three Season Outdoor Room From an Underused Patio
A patio that was rarely used became a comfortable outdoor room with Eze-Breeze panels, an insulated roof, lighting, a ceiling fan, and finish details that help the space feel connected to the home.

From Pavers and Full Sun to a Screened Outdoor Room
After Hurricane Helene changed the backyard, this family wanted shade and relief from mosquitoes. A new slab, aluminum structure, insulated roof, and screens created an entirely new place to relax outside.

A Poorly Laid Out Deck Rebuilt Around Everyday Use
The original deck had an awkward layout that reduced usable space. Rebuilding it from the ground up created a cleaner, safer deck directly off the kitchen with TimberTech composite decking and powder-coated aluminum railing.

Making an Existing Screen Porch Work Better
The homeowners already had a screen porch, but the grilling area sat outside the cover. A carefully integrated roof extension created more protected outdoor space without making the addition feel bulky or disconnected.

More Room and More Seasonal Flexibility
An existing covered area was expanded and enclosed with Eze-Breeze to create a much larger outdoor room with screens, weather protection, and space the homeowners now use regularly.

Storm Damage Became an Opportunity to Build Something Better
Hurricane Helene damaged a simple outdoor cover. Instead of replacing it with another basic awning, the space was rebuilt as a screened porch with an insulated roof system.

See Something That Feels Like Your Space?
Your project does not need to match one of these exactly. That is the point.
If you have a patio, porch, deck, or outdoor area that could work better, we can talk through what is there now, how you want to use it, and what options make sense for the space.
