Sterling Ridge Outdoor Living Addition – Elegant Entertaining Space
Outdoor living and patio addition in Sterling Ridge, TX, featuring a spacious patio, covered lounge area, and outdoor kitchen, designed for modern entertainment and family gatherings.
Project Overview
In 2022, Select Remodeling & Construction completed a stunning outdoor living and patio addition for a residence in Sterling Ridge, TX. This elegant extension transformed the backyard into a versatile retreat, combining an outdoor kitchen, covered lounge, and social dining area — all designed to complement the home's existing architecture and natural surroundings.
Key features included a covered lounge area with ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and insulated roof structure; an outdoor kitchen complete with built-in grill, sink, and countertop workspace; dining and seating zones arranged for comfort and conversation; and landscaping integration for privacy and scenic harmony.
Scope of Work
The project encompassed a complete outdoor design and build process, ensuring every detail was carefully planned and executed to create a seamless outdoor living experience.
Design & Planning Phase
Initial design consultation with 3D layout rendering to visualize the final space. Site preparation and concrete foundation work established a stable base for the entire structure. Structural framing for the covered patio was engineered to withstand Texas weather conditions.
Installation & Construction
Installation of electrical, plumbing, and gas systems to support all outdoor kitchen functions. Appliance, countertop, and cabinetry setup with precision and attention to weatherproofing. All work adhered to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation construction standards and local Sterling Ridge zoning codes.
Finishing & Final Touches
Finishing work including painting, trim, lighting, and landscaping integration created a cohesive look. Final inspection ensured all systems met safety and functionality standards. Quality control checks verified every element met our high standards for durability and aesthetics.
Challenges & Solutions
The main design challenge was creating a functional outdoor kitchen and entertainment space that maintained visual cohesion with the home's exterior while ensuring durability in the Texas climate.
Design & Layout Improvements
The covered lounge was designed for shade, airflow, and social interaction, creating the perfect gathering space. The patio layout was optimized for cooking, dining, and lounging with dedicated zones for each activity. Landscaping and planters were incorporated to enhance privacy and visual appeal while maintaining an open feel. For outdoor design inspiration, explore Sunset Magazine – Outdoor Living Ideas.
System & Feature Upgrades
Electrical wiring was installed for recessed lighting, outlets, and appliances. Plumbing for outdoor sink and water access ensures full kitchen functionality. Ceiling fans provide temperature regulation and air movement for comfort during Texas summers. Gas line installation for the built-in grill and fire feature creates the perfect cooking environment. Weatherproof controls for lighting and fan systems were strategically placed. Learn more about outdoor living technologies at Home Energy Saver.
Material Selection & Finishes
Natural stone pavers with textured anti-slip finish provide safe, durable flooring for the entire space. The outdoor kitchen features stainless steel appliances for longevity and rust resistance, granite countertops for durability and easy maintenance, and weatherproof cabinetry with synthetic wood look. Insulated roofing panels with decorative wood beams create an elegant overhead structure that provides beauty and comfort.
