BackA Father’s Day Project for the Special Man in Your Family04/22/24

As we approach Father’s Day this year, we are typically racking our brains to think of another t-shirt, hat, coffee mug, or tool to give the dad in our lives. However, what if we really moved the needle and invested in a home remodeling project? As a culture, the first areas of our homes to be remodeled are naturally the kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor space. These are fantastic opportunities to increase your home’s value. But… what about an outdoor man cave? About 64% of home improvements are now happening in the exterior of the home, according to mensjournal.com. Although the exterior projects can include roofing, windows, exterior painting, downspouts, and exterior doors/windows, it can also include an outdoor man cave or grilling space. Wineteer Construction has completed many outdoor projects for families across the Kansas and Missouri Kansas City metro areas. Let us walk you through some options!

Backyard barbecuing (mixing sizzle and sun) has always been an American tradition. According to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA), 80 percent of North American households own a grill or smoker, and 60 percent of grill owners using their grills year round. Why not provide a sanctuary for the special man of the household to grill meals and take the load off of the others in the household?

The 2024 U.S. Houzz & Home Study launched revealing the momentum behind new homeowner and industry trends, including their financing and motivations behind big home projects. Are homeowners willing to spend more on major home improvement projects? Data suggests yes.

“As consumer interest in the outdoor room continues to grow, hearth, patio and barbecue manufacturers are developing stylish, full-featured products to enhance the comfort, convenience and pleasure of entertaining or relaxing outside, no matter the climate or season,” states HPBA’s article, How to Create an Outdoor Room.

So think outside the box on this Father’s Day and consider designing an outdoor space. A transformed backyard space will easily become a family’s favorite place to entertain. At Wineteer Construction, we focus on the upfront design and function, so your investment will add to the value of your home and add value to your quality of life.

A backyard makeover can be accomplished in stages—starting with conceptual designs, clearing a space or building a covered, open-air structure with luxury light fixtures, ceiling fans and a surround-sound speaker system. Then, it’s time to install that first new piece of equipment (grill, smoker, rotisserie or even a brick oven). Next year, you can expand with customized countertops, sinks, wine coolers, a bar, lounge area or upscale, outdoor dining furniture.
