One certain outcome of the pandemic has been a greater appreciation for outdoor living space. This summer is a perfect time to enjoy the beautiful warmer weather with friends and family by gathering and relaxing outside. If you need help sprucing up your outdoor space, you’re in the right place! Hudson Valley’s home professionals are here to make your vision a reality.
Deck out your home — indoors and out
Builders First Source advises, “Because of a national shortage of lumber drove up costs for decking by as much as 150 percent in the past year, it is significantly more expensive to build anything that uses wood, including traditional decks. Alternative materials, such as aluminum and composite decking are now more viable options, even if they’re still more expensive. Builders First Source carries a wide selection of high-quality materials to match your decking and patio needs and budget. Choose from a large selection of traditional wood to advanced, environmentally friendly treated wood decking and railings. Builders First Source offers new composite decking that requires minimal maintenance, doesn’t need to be sanded or painted, and is generally weather-resistant. It also comes in a variety of colors and styles. Stop by one of our Builders First Source locations and talk to our experienced sales team with your project ideas! Builders First Source is your first source for all your building materials!”

Make the most of your outdoor living space with a Trex deck and plan for your deck time to continue for years to come. According to Williams Lumber & Home Centers, Trex believes that every home can extend beyond its threshold. Trex offers variety and the perfect pairing of price and minimal maintenance. The experts at Williams also recommend Trex decking because it’s made with 95% recycled materials in the USA, and has 25-year limited residential and fade and stain warranties. Kim Williams, VP of Retail Operations at Williams Lumber & Home Centers, says, “This is the perfect time to build or rebuild your deck! Decks are a place to gather, dine, and unwind with family and friends. Expand your outdoor living space and turn it into your own paradise!” Williams Lumber is located in Rhinebeck, Hudson, Hopewell Junction, Tannersville, Red Hook, Pleasant Valley, and High Falls.

Create an outdoor oasis
If you’re considering adding a pool to your outdoor space, Chris NeJame of NeJame Pool Specialists suggests, “Make your pool part of your landscape, including connecting seamlessly with your outdoor kitchen. Take the colors of your garden and make them pop as part of the pool’s border tiles, for example. Also, be sure to have the shape fit into your landscape rather than protrude from it. Keep the look natural with stone steps or a fountain. NeJame’s experts will help you find the look that matches your personality.”
Connect your indoor and outdoor spaces
Many of the modern conveniences that we’ve enjoyed indoors can now be experienced outdoors as well! As Wayne Nussbickel, President of N&S Supply, explains, “By creating an outdoor kitchen or wet bar, the fun can be moved out of the house and into the backyard! Consider a sauna or steam shower that provides a relaxing spa experience. Touchless faucets that operate with the wave of a hand, self-cleaning toilets and spa-seats with cleansing features put safety and wellness first. Even an outdoor shower for a quick rinse after a fun summer day! N&S has helped thousands of Hudson Valley residents create the bathroom of their dreams — so let us help you create the outdoor living space of your dreams!”
