The Abbott Project: Elevating Outdoor Living in Birmingham

For Kendra Abbott, outdoor living wasn’t just about a deck — it was about creating a peaceful retreat where she could unwind, entertain, and enjoy Birmingham’s beautiful evenings. Like many homeowners, Kendra wanted to turn her basic outdoor space into something special. That’s when she partnered with SouthFace Renovations & Construction, trusting our team to bring her dream outdoor escape to life.

Before

The existing outdoor area offered potential but lacked functionality and charm. The deck was small, with limited seating space, and the backyard layout didn’t flow naturally for gatherings or relaxation. Kendra envisioned something more — a space that blended elegance with everyday comfort.

Transformation Process

Our team at Birmingham Remodelers designed a completely new deck featuring a custom spiral staircase that not only adds architectural beauty but also provides easy access between levels. We expanded the outdoor living area with a thoughtfully built side patio, creating multiple zones for entertaining, dining, and relaxation. Every material was chosen for both durability and style, ensuring the space would remain timeless and low-maintenance for years to come.

Throughout the project, we collaborated closely with partner Barry Delozier to ensure craftsmanship met the highest standards, from framing to final finishes.

After

The result is a stunning outdoor oasis that perfectly complements Kendra’s home. The deck’s spiral staircase makes a striking statement, while the side patio provides a cozy gathering area surrounded by the soft glow of evening lights. What was once an overlooked corner of the property is now a favorite destination for family and friends.
