Essential Extras, Inc.: The Right Solution for Your Home Project

In Business Since: 1971
Essential Extras, Inc. creates unique outdoor spaces and structures such as screened porches, gazebos, pergolas, and shade arbors. Our pergola and arbor designs will normally work with gardens and landscaping as well as with patio and deck designs. We design them to match the scale, look, style, and flow of the existing area. Our portfolio has thousands of pictures of wooden decks (and some plastic and composite decking). We also do most types of residential remodeling from small repairs to major projects like room additions and basement refinishing.
We have been in the construction business since the mid-1960s. We start by determining the function or desired end result and work back to the physical project. By working through ideas with the homeowner to the finished project, we create better designs and a better result. Our designs consistently integrate the rationale, the physical setting, and our client's likes and dislikes.
For trim and finishing touches, there are many different wood railing designs for decks, lattice privacy screen designs, vinyl privacy screens, wooden outdoor privacy screening, garden gate designs, decorative cedar fences, benches, and planters. We frequently incorporate subtle low-voltage atmosphere and accent lighting.
We offer job file plans, drawings, and details for most of the projects pictured on our Website at www.essentialextrasinc.com
Our work is truly custom and creative. No two people or projects are alike. Essential Extras will easily accommodate unusual projects, situations, and unique custom original designs. We make interior, exterior, added, or remodeled space blend into existing space structurally, functionally, and aesthetically—we make it look like it "belongs."
Depending on your preference, we offer design and plans service, construction supervision, design/build agreements, or complete turnkey service.
