Patio & Deck Builders in Little River, SC

Little River sits at the northern end of Horry County along the Intracoastal Waterway, where a large share of the housing stock is contemporary construction built for the retirement and second-home market. Gated communities like River Hills, Tidewater Plantation, Coquina Harbour, and Windjammer Village make up a significant portion of the residential landscape, with waterfront and golf-course lots that prioritize outdoor living space. The Intracoastal Waterway corridor adds a layer of moisture and salt exposure that affects outdoor structures differently than properties set back from the water. A high rate of seasonal vacancy in the area means many screen rooms and pool enclosures sit unused for months at a time, which creates its own maintenance pattern as hardware stiffens and mesh collects debris without regular attention.

Waterway-Exposed Properties in Little River Need a Different Material Spec

Properties along the Intracoastal Waterway in Little River face salt moisture from the water surface as well as from prevailing coastal winds. That double exposure hits lower rail sections, door tracks, and anchor hardware first. Pool enclosures and screen rooms on waterway-adjacent lots in communities like Coquina Harbour and Windjammer Village need coated fasteners and properly finished aluminum at every connection point — not just at the frame corners.

Little River's retirement-oriented communities have a high rate of seasonal vacancy, which means outdoor structures often go without attention for extended periods. Screen mesh collects debris, door hardware stiffens, and small frame issues go unnoticed until they become larger repairs. Building with durable materials from the start reduces the maintenance burden for homeowners who are not on-site year-round.

David Heath handles every Little River project personally, which matters in a market where gated communities and waterfront lots each present specific access and anchoring conditions. He assesses the site before any design is finalized, so the enclosure or screen room spec reflects what the property actually faces — waterway exposure, lot grade, and existing deck or patio framing all factor into the build.

Every service, available in Little River, SC

Pool Enclosure Service is a strong fit for Little River's waterfront and golf-course communities, where private pools are common and the Intracoastal Waterway adds salt moisture exposure that degrades standard framing faster than inland properties. Screen and Sunroom Services are in demand across the retirement-focused communities like Rivergate and Country Lakes, where homeowners want comfortable, insect-free outdoor spaces they can use year-round. Outdoor Living and Hardscapes work is active on the larger lots in River Hills and Tidewater Plantation, where structured patios and pergolas extend the usable footprint of properties with generous yard space.

David and his team did a fabulous job redoing and new roof in my Carolina room. I used to hate that room because of the heat and floods every time it rains. New roof screens and vinyl’s cleaned up looking like new. Now I can enjoy my room year round. No worries how hot the room will get. I was recommended by a neighbor here in South Creek as they had their room redone. The team was very thorough and made sure everything was done perfectly. I would highly recommend him and his team from back porch designs

Dave and his team built us a beautiful screen room. They created exactly what our concept drawings depicted. Its sturdy, well built, stylish, and we look forwards to years of enjoyment. His team are professional, fast, and efficient. Additionally, they built a vinyl garbage can enclosure. Definitely exceeded expectations. Additionally, I could not find a contractor in the Myrtle Beach area that would build me a screen room with a screen roof (i.e. a lanai). I knew I had to find someone with Florida roots, and Dave's extensive experience building these types of structures in Florida was perfect for what I wanted.

I had the pleasure of dealing with David and his team to do work at my house. I needed new screens and he also replaced my vinyl windows at the top with glass and it came out great. I would highly recommend him and his company for your all your back porch needs. I can't believe how great it looks.

David is a great guy. Very trustworthy and kind, thoughtful, honest and willing to do whatever it takes to make his customers happy. My friend and I have worked with him on many different projects and he has never let me down or annoyed me to death. Thank you BackPorch for being a great company.

I highly recommend Back Porch Designs. They installed a porch enclosure for us and it was done professionally, courteously and as promised. David and his whole crew were a pleasure to work with from the initial design, product selection through installation and one minor leak which was repaired quickly. Hats off. Wife loves her new "she shed". Thanks David, etal. Mark & Patti
