Our Work

Outdoor rooms built for PNW weather

Covered patios, decks, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens we have finished across Portland.

Portland outdoor weeks are longer than you think

With the right cover, ventilation, and drainage, a Portland outdoor living space works nine months a year — not three.

CM&D designs and builds covered patios, pergolas, decks, outdoor kitchens, and fireplaces that shrug off PNW rain. We plan roof pitches, gutter paths, and heat sources so your family actually uses the space when it is grey outside, not just on peak sun days.

Seasonal Planning

When to call us for an outdoor build

Outdoor projects are seasonal in Portland. Talk to us early so we can lock in your build window before the summer rush.
01
Jan – Mar

Design & permit

Drawings, permits, and material orders happen during the rainy months so we are ready to build as weather clears.

02
Apr – Jun

Foundation & frame

Footings, framing, roof, and structural work. This is when most outdoor builds start on site.

03
Jul – Sep

Finish & landscape

Decking, tile, outdoor kitchens, lighting, and landscaping finish in the dry summer months.

04
Oct – Dec

Use & maintain

You use the space. We schedule spring touch-ups, stain refresh, and seasonal maintenance if requested.

Ready When You Are

Let’s build the home you’ve been planning

Tell us about your project and Miles will follow up within one business day to schedule a no-obligation consultation at your home.
