Dry Space Services: Create Protected Under-Deck Areas

At Michigan’s Best Deck Builders, we specialize in transforming the unused area beneath your second-story deck into a valuable and functional outdoor living space. Our expert dry space installation services provide a clean, dry, and protected area perfect for storage, relaxation, or entertainment, effectively doubling your home’s usable outdoor footprint. You can enjoy the outdoors in any weather, knowing your under-deck area is shielded from rain, snow, and sun.

What is a Dry Space?

A dry space is an innovative solution that captures and redirects water from your deck’s surface, keeping the area below completely dry. Unlike a traditional roof, our under deck drainage systems are discreetly installed between the joists of your elevated deck. This gutterless system is designed to efficiently channel away rain, melting snow, and runoff, preventing moisture from dripping through the deck boards. The result is a bright, open, and weatherproof ceiling that protects everything underneath it, creating a versatile new space for your family to enjoy year-round.

Customize Your Under-Deck Oasis

We believe your dry space should be as unique as your home. We offer a wide range of customization options to create a space that perfectly fits your needs and style.

Tailored Storage Solutions

Maximize your home’s storage potential with a custom-designed under-deck area. We can create dedicated zones for:

• Seasonal Storage: Safely store patio furniture, cushions, and planters during the off-season.
• Tool and Equipment Shelter: Keep lawnmowers, gardening tools, and outdoor equipment organized and protected from the elements.
• Recreational Gear: A perfect spot for bicycles, kayaks, and other sporting goods, keeping your garage clutter-free.

Functional and Aesthetic Enhancements

Elevate your dry space from a simple protected area to a true extension of your living space with our available enhancements. We can integrate:

• Ceiling Fans and Lighting: Install outdoor-rated ceiling fans for a cooling breeze and recessed or string lighting for evening ambiance.
• Entertainment Features: Add built-in speakers, an outdoor television mount, or a wet bar for the ultimate entertainment zone.
• Finishing Touches: Complete the look with finished ceilings, decorative posts, or elegant stamped concrete flooring for a polished, indoor feel.

Full Enclosure Options

For maximum protection and usability, consider a full enclosure. We can add screens to keep insects out, creating a comfortable screened-in porch. For a true three-season or four-season room, we can install windows and doors to shield you from wind, rain, and cold temperatures, giving you a versatile new room for your home.
