After completing a couple projects for this West Des Moines family already, they decided they weren’t quite done upgrading their property! This was a cover for the new pool they were adding to the backyard. While they initially were leaning towards a louvered roof, they ultimately decided to go with an A-Frame pavilion to provide them with shade during the hot Iowa summers.
Below we walk through our building process step by step – outlining our meticulous attention to detail. This project expanded on the decking & railing we had already constructed on the property. Make sure to check out the before & after photos below to see how truly transformational all this work has been to this family’s property. It’s almost unrecognizable! Remodeling projects like these are fun to show off.
