Screened Enclosures For Your Home

Screened EnclosuresA screened enclosure is a great thing to construct before the Summer arrives. At the beginning of Summer, bugs start to spawn, trees start to pollinate and mess with your allergies, and hot temperatures force you to blast your air conditioning system. In addition, a screened enclosure from Miles Bradley allows for you and your family to be outside with all of the benefits of being indoors! Furthermore, you can avoid the numerous bug species, pesky tree pollen, and even the hot temperatures (by installing a fan in the enclosure)!

Advantages of having a screened enclosure

  • Protects Against The Weather

Summer weather can be unpredictable. When it rains, usually it ruins your plans for outdoor festivities. With an enclosure, you can still enjoy the outdoor activities and festivities with your family while still being protected against the rain or other harsh elements.

  • Uses Wasted Space

Enclosures use up that extra space that you don’t really use. Do you have a deck or porch that sits empty for half of the year? With a screened enclosure, you can use the space year-round. You can use the full value of your property all the time!

  • Matches Your Trex Deck

The enclosures we build are a great fit with your composite deck made from Trex decking. You can have a matching enclosure and deck that would make your house look great!

  • Increases House Value

Enclosures and Decks are all the rage nowadays. Homebuyers look for houses with a screened enclosure and well-made deck so they will not have to add to the cost of buying the house when they add one.

Maintenance Free Deck Builders This Spring

Maintenance Free Deck Builders This Spring

Maintenance-free deck builders are always available at Miles Bradley Building and Remodeling.  What does it mean to have a maintenance-free deck? When it came to older more traditional wood decks, there was a certain level of maintenance you needed to do. Maintenance for the wood deck can include, cleaning, sanding, repairs, stain, and much more.  Now a wood deck is a fine choice but just be aware there is more work in owning one.

A low-maintenance composite deck is the most popular choice when it comes to new decks. In addition, the maintenance on these types of decks is at a bare minimum. You do not have to worry about splinters or chipping paint, just sweep off the deck and you are good to go. One of the big choices people ask is Trex vs Timbertech when choosing materials for their deck.

Trex Decking For Maintenance Free Deck Builders

Here at Miles Bradley Building and Remodeling, we work almost exclusively with Trex Decking. Also, we have certified Trex Decking installers with years of experience in the product. Timbertech is also a nice choice and quality material as well. Either way, you are getting some of the best materials for your new deck. The beauty of Trex decks is you will not experience rot, splitting, swelling, or cracking. Making it a great choice.

In addition, Trex will never require repainting, staining, or sealing. When it comes to a maintenance-free deck builder, you need a licensed and certified builder you can trust. Miles Bradley Building and Remodeling has been building composite decks in the Detroit area since 1991. In addition, we also have a branch in the Chicago area as well.
