Building for More Than Just Looks

Outdoor spaces are more than patios and decks—they’re extensions of your home and your lifestyle. But in Nebraska, building something that just looks good isn’t enough. Between harsh winters, summer storms, and everything in between, your outdoor space needs to be structurally sound and ready for anything.

At Ashland Oak, we specialize in outdoor renovations that look great and perform even better. Whether we’re designing a covered patio, a roof extension, or a complete backyard transformation, our team focuses on the details that help each project last for decades.

Smart Framing: The Foundation of Every Outdoor Build

The first step to a lasting outdoor space? Structural integrity. Every Ashland Oak project begins with expert framing that supports the design, resists seasonal stress, and integrates seamlessly with your existing home.

We:

• Use steel support beams where needed for strength and span

• Tie new framing directly into existing rooflines and walls

• Rely on engineered wood and pressure-treated lumber to resist rot and pests

You may not see the framing once the project is complete, but it’s the backbone that keeps your space solid and safe year after year.

Weather-Resistant Materials That Handle Nebraska’s Climate

Lincoln homeowners know: Nebraska weather is no joke. That’s why we carefully choose materials that are designed to hold up to snow loads, temperature swings, wind, and moisture.

Materials we rely on include:

• Pressure-treated wood for structural members

• Composite or sealed decking materials

• Weather-rated fasteners, brackets, and anchors

• Cedar or sealed pine for ceilings and trim

We don’t cut corners on materials—because repairing weather damage later costs far more than building it right the first time.

Roofing and Drainage That Protects Your Investment

A roofed patio or covered porch only works if it’s planned with drainage in mind. We evaluate the existing home’s pitch and runoff patterns to make sure water flows away from the structure.

Our approach includes:

• Matching rooflines and shingles for seamless aesthetics

• Installing gutters and downspouts to manage water

• Sealing transition points to prevent future leaks

• Designing for snow load in winter months

These small but crucial details make the difference between a project that lasts and one that causes future headaches.

Designed for Year-Round Comfort

At Ashland Oak, we believe your outdoor space should be comfortable, not just durable. That means thinking through how it will be used in every season.

We build with:

• Ceiling fan wiring and lighting already integrated

• Overhead protection to reduce sun and wind exposure

• Hidden framing to support TVs, speakers, or heaters

We also future-proof every space so homeowners can enclose or upgrade down the road.
