All reviews for Exterior Additions

Hire Doug and his team at Exterior Additions for an extraordinary experience if you plan to build a screened in porch. He is professional, fair, a great communicator, competitively priced and he takes the time to listen to your wants and needs.

Their work is meticulous with an amazing attention to detail. The screened in porch and patio has been an incredible addition to our home and lifestyle. Bug free in the warm weather and with the infrared heaters and EzeBreeze system on the windows & door, enjoyed in the colder months as well.

There may be a wait for the project to start, but believe me, it is worth the wait!

We have had our enclosed screen porch for about 3 years now. It is STILL my favorite place to end my day after a long day at work. So happy we created this beautiful space. Thank you Doug and Crew for your quality craftsmanship!

Working with Exterior Additions has been phenomenal! The process was smooth and my porch/deck is perfect. I am impressed with how beautiful and professional work was done by Exterior Addition and cannot recommend them enough to everyone. There were clear communication with each member on the team who were all well inform to answer all my questions. When doing a project, the key things on a checklist is communication, price and reviews and this team excelled at all. Thank you to Josh, Tyler, Jared, Shane, Manny and his team for making my dream deck/porch a reality!

From the moment the salesman came out, Exterior Additions stood out as an amazing company. Their quote process was very easy. Every cost was itemized and easy to understand. Our clear choice was to work with them and we are so pleased we did. We added a screened deck to the main level of our basement home. We chose to utilize helical piers for stability. The whole building process went very smoothly and progressed timely. Any time we had a question or concern, it was promptly and satisfactorily addressed. We have been enjoying our beautiful screened deck for a few months now and are 100% satisfied with it. There is never even a bug that gets in. We would without hesitation whole heartedly recommend Exterior Additions. They are providing a real service to our community by being superior to work with.

The guys are extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. They were upfront with the schedule and right on target with the timing to start and finish construction. Communication throughout the process was excellent! We didn’t really know what we wanted and Josh guided us through the decisions based on how we wanted to use it. The best decision we made was adding heaters to our porch so we can use it all winter. We use it more than our family room. I just wish we had done it sooner!!

Having our porch completed has truly changed how we live in our home! We opted for the EZ Breeze windows, a wood burning fire place with gas starter and built in heater. Josh, Tyler, Jared, Shane, Mike and Dustin were all professional, very responsive and friendly to work with. The site was very well maintained and we were kept aware of steps of the project. You won’t be disappointed!

I cannot say enough positive things about Exterior Additions! We have lived in two homes in Charlotte and added a screened in porch in the first home after being in it for a few years and wondered why we didn't do it sooner! When we moved into a new home, calling Exterior Additions was one of the first things we did because we knew how much we would miss the extended living area. We added a second story screened in porch as soon as possible (with heaters and fans) and literally spend time out there daily. Do not skimp - invest in the heaters! When it gets chilly in Charlotte, we turn them on and are still able to sit outside comfortably, even on the coldest day! 10/10 recommend this company!

We contacted Exterior Additions because they were a licensed dealer for the EZ Breeze windows we wanted. I used their online project builder and estimator and their price was +10% less than 3 other bids we received. I contacted the company and they came out immediately and provided a specific quote within a couple hundred dollars of the online estimate

We were told up front that the project would take 3 months to start based on their backlog but that once they started it would be done quickly. They were right. The entire deck was framed out in less then two days and complete save for the windows in a week. The windows were ordered, arrived on time, and promptly installed.

This was by far the best experience we have ever had with a contractor. They were responsive, on time, on budget, and do great work. I can not recommend them more.

Highly recommend Exterior Additions! From start to finish, the whole process was a breeze. Everything was explained well up front. Their team was very approachable and accommodating of our wants and concerns. Their crews were always on-time and courteous. They stand by their work 100% and will do anything they can to make their customers happy. We love how our porch turned out and how it’s made our outdoor space more livable for the entire year.

Exterior Additions did an excellent job on our covered porch. We had a complex exhausting roof structure that they were able to integrate into the design perfectly. They were very responsive during the whole process. Highly recommend!

Exterior Additions put a sunroom and deck on the back of our house. We chose them because they put the same thing on a house in our neighborhood. They were very happy with it and let us look it over twice about 6 months apart. We didn’t look at any other company because this couple was very happy with what they got, highly recommended them, it was exactly what we wanted and I could see they did high quality work. The office staff, builders, roofer, gutter installer, electrician and painters were easy to work with and the quality was exceptional. We couldn’t believe how quickly Manny and his crew completed the different stages of the build. They were professional, friendly and cleaned up every day. We are looking forward to enjoying it for years to come.

We are extremely pleased with the amazing work exterior designs did with the transformation of our open poarch to a 3 seasoned lanai/sunroom. The quality of the work is excellent. Tyler responded to our emails quickly and informatively. Jared and the other workers were pleasant and helpful with the construction process and all or our questions. The easy-breeze windows and door are better than we expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you for doing such a great job!

I wanted to take a moment to thank the whole EA team for all of their work on our porch project. We went with a 20 x 14 enclosed porch, with composite decking and eze-breeze windows/door. We are so pleased with how everything turned out. I know my standards are high and they surpassed all of my expectations. From design, to build, all the way to completion everyone on the team was a pleasure to work with. In addition to all of the large/important details, what impressed me the most was the attention to all of the small details as well. I think they may have even rolled in my trash cans on garbage day. The point is that every detail was thought out in advance. Another thing that impressed me was that the project was completed on time and on budget. All of our neighbors rave about how great everything turned out. We are excited to enjoy the space for many years to come! Again, thank you to the whole EA team!

I cannot say enough good things about working with Exterior Additions. They demo'd an existing porch, deck, patio and portico (covered with wisteria) and replaced it with a much larger porch with Azek flooring, a wood burning fireplace and EZ Breeze windows. Doug Lynch (owner) is a perfectionist and it shows in the work of his team and every sub-contractor that he uses. It is also obvious that everyone who works with him, or for him, likes and respects working for him. Every single person involved in this project, from the people responsible for cleaning up, through the builders, electricians, mason, etc. were all terrific at what they do, timely and pleasant to be around. They have mastered the art of the entire process from the original design and contract phase all the way to the end with frequent and detailed communication. There were no surprises. Now that my project is finished, I kinda miss them! Again, highly recommend.

Exterior Additions did a phenomenal job retro-fitting Ez-Breeze windows on our existing screen porch. The service was top-notch, great communication and we are so pleased with the finished porch. Highly recommend this company!

I had an existing porch that really needed to be replaced. I met with 4 companies. Looking at reviews, how long the companies have been in business, and price I decided to go with Exterior Additions. I met with Josh to go over what I wanted to do. I wanted concrete floor/foundation , ezebreeze product and some type of heat for the winter months. He advised EA could do everything I wanted and their pricing was the best for everything I wanted and items that were included in the contract. He strongly recommended that I consider the infrared heaters instead of gas fireplace b/c he said they heat the space better. So far so good. Those heaters throw off a lot of heat and they are cheaper than a fireplace. I have done a lot of construction projects at my home and I know things won’t go perfectly (they never do) so what I look at is how contractors deal issues. When we encountered hiccups the EA team was all over it…I mean all over it! Every person at EA was very professional, polite, and treated me with respect. They definitely get a A+++ b/c they understand customer service is the key to success. My new porch is a very well built structure that has some great amenities that my old porch didn’t have. It’s the most used room in the house!

For those needing a reputable company to construct a screened porch in the Charlotte area, look no further than Exterior Additions (EA)! Even if they do end up being a bit more expensive than other contractors, you will get your money's worth out of the build quality, and more importantly the customer service. Read below for full details!

I initially reached out to EA in March 2022 when we knew we wanted to have a screened porch. I had no idea what to expect, but Josh came by, and wrote up a detailed quote for me. I appreciated his time in providing design recommendations and porch size. Unfortunately, the estimate provided to me was not within my budget at the time.

However, our desire to have a porch constructed never faded. For months, I stayed in touch with Tyler who was so kind and so generous to provide me with multiple quotes as I tried to play with size and options to help fit my budget. We had long conversations, and he was always so friendly, even though I wasn't ready to sign. He was very responsive, typically within hours, for any questions or requests for phone calls that I had. This is how I knew that if I signed with EA, customer service would never be an issue.

Finally, in September 2022, we decided to sign with EA after Tyler helped me to get the specs within my budget. He quickly provided the line drawings so we could have a general idea of what the finished porch would look like, and we were very excited to finally get going on the project.

Raul was my assigned EA crew leader, and he and his crew started construction in early November 2022. Raul was always willing to answer any questions that I had with a friendly demeanor, and it was clear that he led a highly skilled crew. Aside from the custom ordered EZE Breeze windows, the project was done by mid-December, ahead of schedule. The windows arrived and were installed in January to fully complete the project.

Shane from EA was a trooper to bring documents or materials, as needed, and haul away waste and trash - always with a smile. All of EAs subcontractors (Troy for electrical, Jay for gutters, Felipe for painting, the roofers, etc.) were all very efficiently scheduled to get the project done quickly. Final adjustments and touchups were quickly done by Murray who was happy to help with all of the punch-list items. Along the way, I also had the pleasure to meet Doug, the company owner. We had a great conversation about the history of the company, and I got great exposure to EA's general business philosophy.

Bottom line is that this is an awesome group of people! They specialize in porches, and built me an awesome one, and really made me feel like a valued customer all along, even though my project may not have been one of their larger, more expensive ones.

Thank you, Exterior Additions! I have no hesitations, at all, about recommending your services to anyone needing a porch in the Charlotte area!

We used Exterior Additions for a screened porch project in summer 2023, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the market for an outdoor addition project.

We were in the market for a screened porch with gable roof to be built upon a new deck completed just a couple years ago. We received three quotes from EA and their competition. Their quote process was straightforward starting with a site visit from their head of ops (Josh), and also included a follow-up visit from the owner Doug as we deliberated on a certain aspect of the roofline. Exterior Additions' proactive communications process, attention to detail, and confidence in the trickier aspects of the job led us to choose them vs. the competition, and I'm thrilled we did.

TIMELINESS/COMMNICATION - Tyler was communicative and forthright in their lead time (8-10 weeks). Once the project was started, the crew (which included the owner Doug) was incredibly diligent and hard-working in moving the project along in a timely manner. Tyler also was always available via phone to discuss any aspect of the project while it was in planning or ongoing.

CRAFTSMANSHIP - Despite their diligence and timeliness, I never once felt the team's work was rushed. They had an incredible attention to detail and you could tell the pride in the work from every staff member.

CLEANLINESS/COURTESY - The entire crew was courteous and friendly throughout the project, even though much of the work was done during peak August heat (90+ degrees/humid). They left the workspace clean and also accommodated materials load-in through our garage to avoid disrupting recent landscaping we had installed.

EXPERIENCE - with this being our first screened porch, their experience and familiarity with similar projects helped us both in the design/ideation process and with selection of finishes/details.

Overall a fantastic experience and have already recommended the company to dozens of friends/neighbors as they've seen the product. Thanks EA!

Exterior Additions surpassed all expectations! The space is magical and feels like an outdoor living room; a true extension of our home. Their entire process is professional and seamless beginning with a site visit from Josh who is knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. Shortly after we received a clear proposal that was comprehensive and easy to follow. Tyler in the office was exceptional to work with. He brought my vision to life; entertaining many inspirational photos, offering clear explanations, allowing customization and delivered well drawn plans. Our construction crew, Mike and Dustin, were excellent as was our project manager, Murray. They were prompt and meticulous. Mike is a true master of his trade and builds with precision. His attention to detail was impeccable which was greatly admired by someone with a design background. Each day the materials were neatly covered and organized as our site was never a mess. E.A. has weekly trash and material pickups by Shane who is simply the kindest person and hardest worker. All of the trades (electrical, fireplace, mason) were terrific. All professional, on time, easy to reach and performed their service exactly as anticipated.

Most importantly Exterior Additions communicates with you and their entire team. Our project manager was always available and visited regularly. We were aware of their daily and weekly schedule; we never sat wondering the progress of our project. Everyone we encountered had a genuine care on the outcome. Exterior Additions is worth the wait, and it is no wonder their customers consistently sing their praises.

We loved our experience with Exterior Additions! They communicated every step of the way and worked efficiently to get everything completed. Our project has was completed about two weeks ago and we are thrilled with the outcome, it’s added an entirely new liveable space to our home!

The team at EA was simply terrific - customer service was second to none and the porch they built for us is literally perfect. Everyone who works for them - from the concrete guys, framers, roofers, electricians, and painters - were friendly and, most importantly, did fantastic work. The owner stopped by near the end to check in on the project and demo our ez breeze windows for us, which I really appreciated. If you want a beautiful porch without the usual contractor headaches, hire these guys. (No, I'm not a bot, nor was I paid for this post.)
