There’s something special about summer in Saint Louis. Whether it’s grilling on the patio, relaxing on the porch, or enjoying backyard gatherings with friends and family, outdoor spaces are where some of our best memories are made.
But to truly enjoy your outdoor areas, they need to be more than just attractive—they need to be functional, comfortable, and safe.
At Mister Fix-It, we specialize in helping homeowners across Saint Louis and the surrounding towns transform their outdoor spaces into beautiful, usable extensions of their homes. Here’s how you can elevate your backyard, deck, or patio to make the most of your space all year long.
Why Functional Outdoor Spaces Matter
A well-designed outdoor space should:
- Be comfortable and inviting
- Fit your lifestyle and the way you use your home
- Be safe and well-maintained
- Add value to your property
When outdoor areas aren’t functional—think broken deck boards, wobbly railings and bricks, or cluttered layouts—they don’t get used to their full potential. That’s where thoughtful improvements (and a little help from Mister Fix-It) can make a big difference.
Key Elements of a Functional Outdoor Space
1. Safe, Sturdy Structures
Before adding new features, start with the basics. Make sure your deck, porch, fencing, bricks, and stairs are in good shape.
Repair loose boards, shaky railings, or damaged steps
Power wash and seal surfaces to prevent weather damage
Ensure fencing is secure and properly aligned
At Mister Fix-It, we offer quick, professional repairs to keep your outdoor areas safe and ready for use.
2. Comfortable, Usable Layout
Think about how you want to use your space:
- Do you need room for dining and grilling?
- Is there a comfortable seating area for guests?
- Do you have enough shade for sunny days?
3. Weather Protection
Saint Louis weather can be unpredictable—from intense sun to summer storms. Adding shade structures, repairing awnings, or installing weather-resistant materials can help you enjoy your space longer throughout the year.
4. Easy-to-Maintain Features
Choose durable materials and low-maintenance options to keep your space looking great with less effort. Mister Fix-It can recommend solutions like composite decking, weather-resistant hardware, and easy-clean surfaces to save you time and hassle.
5. Curb Appeal that Lasts
A functional outdoor space should also make your home shine. Simple updates like painting railings, power washing sidewalks, or repairing fencing can boost your curb appeal and increase your home’s value.
