Outdoor living space upgrades could be valued at between 10-20% of your home’s market value. Planning with this range in mind will help you achieve a beautiful space, but not overdo it. Your return on investment (ROI) when looking at resale value can range from 50-80%.

There are four main sources of funding for typical projects. Cash, refinancing proceeds, a home equity line of credit, or personal loan proceeds.

To help clients achieve their dream backyard, Red Branch Outdoor Living has partnered with Sunlight Financial to offer project funding up to $100,000.

This is project specific and can depend on many pieces such as engineering, permitting, special order materials, and weather, but here are some typical timelines to help you plan! Learn more about our Process in depth.

Single-Feature Projects

Single-feature projects (one-room patios, fire pits, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens) that do not require the full design or engineering/permitting process, Red Branch aims to start construction between 4-8 weeks from a signed agreement . Fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and one-room patios are typically completed within 6-12 weeks of a signed contract. Outdoor Kitchens will sometimes take a little longer to complete because of appliance supply chains and coordinating with local permit departments, utility contractors, and granite vendors.

Multi-Feature Projects

The length of our design/build process can vary from 4-12 months depending on the project’s scope and the lead times for materials, permitting, and our construction schedule. The design process typically takes 4-8 weeks for most clients to complete. Construction lead times can range from 6 weeks to 6+ months depending on numerous factors, making it the biggest variable in the process. Construction completion dates are project specific.
