Patio & Deck Builders in Pawleys Island, SC

Pawleys Island sits at the southern end of the Grand Strand in Georgetown County, where the housing mix ranges from historic beach cottages on the barrier island itself to riverfront estates along the Waccamaw River and golf-course communities like Pawleys Plantation, Heritage Plantation, and DeBordieu Colony. The island's long history as a vacation destination means many properties carry older structures — screen porches, sunrooms, and pool enclosures built to earlier standards — that now need replacement or significant repair. Litchfield Beach and North Litchfield Beach add a stretch of oceanfront and near-ocean properties with their own salt air and wind exposure conditions. The mix of raised beach houses, Lowcountry-style homes on large lots, and golf-course properties creates a wide range of project types and access conditions.

Historic Pawleys Island Cottages Need Replacement, Not Just Repair

Pawleys Island has been a vacation destination since the 1700s and 1800s, and many of the barrier island's cottages carry screen porches and outdoor structures that reflect that age. Original framing on those structures is often at or past the point where repair is less cost-effective than full replacement with properly coated aluminum and fiberglass mesh. The new structure needs to handle the same direct ocean exposure the original did, but with materials rated for current coastal conditions.

The golf-course communities south of the island — Pawleys Plantation, Heritage Plantation, and DeBordieu Colony — have large lots and private pools that are well-suited for pool enclosures. Those properties sit close enough to the coast that salt air is a real factor, but the tree canopy and setback from the ocean also create wind shadow conditions that affect how the enclosure is oriented and anchored. Each site has its own exposure profile.

Hagley Estates and Willbrook Plantation properties have spacious yards with mature live oaks and marsh views that make outdoor living a natural priority. Hardscape patios and pergolas in those settings need to work with the existing grade and root systems rather than against them. David Heath assesses each site before design begins, so the outdoor living addition fits the property's actual conditions rather than a standard layout.

Every service, available in Pawleys Island, SC

Pool Enclosure Service is a strong fit for Pawleys Island's golf-course communities and raised beach houses, where private pools are common and the combination of ocean proximity and Waccamaw River humidity creates a demanding environment for enclosure materials. Screen and Sunroom Services are in high demand on the barrier island itself, where historic cottages have original screen porches that have reached the end of their service life and need full replacement with coastal-rated framing and mesh. Outdoor Living and Hardscapes work is active across the large-lot Lowcountry properties in Hagley Estates and Willbrook Plantation, where homeowners want structured outdoor spaces that complement the live oak canopy and marsh views without requiring constant upkeep.

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
