Expert Outdoor Living Contractor, Wayne County, MI
At Coy Construction, we built ours the slow way, one project at a time, working with families across Northville, Canton Township, Plymouth, and the Grosse Pointe communities. These are places people put down roots for the schools and the sense of community.
Michigan requires residential contractors to hold a Residential Builder License through LARA, backed by a state exam and $100,000 in liability insurance. Hiring someone unlicensed is a misdemeanor under MCL 339.601. Coy Construction is licensed and takes that risk off the table.
Custom Outdoor Living Spaces Built for Your Home
More homeowners are treating their backyards as real living space, not grass that gets mowed and ignored. Coy Construction manages projects from first sketch to final installation, so nothing feels bolted on. It starts with how you plan to use the space.
That often means multi-zone layouts, such as a dining spot, a lounge with built-in seating, maybe a fire pit as the centerpiece that stretches the season into fall. Shade matters too, which is why pergolas, gazebos, and retractable awnings show up often locally.
Materials also matter. Composite and PVC decking often outlast standard wood against Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles. Hardscaping, curved patios, seating walls, and natural stone paired with concrete add durability. Outdoor kitchens need extra planning, like solid foundations, weather-resistant materials, and code-compliant gas, electrical, and drainage work. Projects can run $15,000 to $75,000, paying for a space that actually gets used.
Building Your Outdoor Space Right the First Time
Michigan winters are hard on outdoor structures. Coy Construction sets footings below frost depth, uses moisture-resistant hardware, and gets joist spacing and ledger attachments right the first time. These details decide whether a deck will last decades or shift within a few years.
Paver patios and hardscapes tend to deliver the strongest ROI locally, while outdoor kitchens do well as part of one cohesive design. Permits matter too. Wayne County requires them for most builds, and Detroit projects often need to meet 2015 Michigan Building Code standards. Coy Construction backs its work with multi-year warranties.
