Outdoor Living Spaces

Patios, pergolas, summer kitchens, and screen enclosures that extend your home into South Florida's climate — designed to last and built to permit.

Overview

What We Do

South Florida's year-round climate makes outdoor living space one of the highest-return investments you can add to your home. IVG designs and builds outdoor spaces that are built to last — properly permitted, hurricane-rated where required, and finished to the same standard as your interior. From a simple paver patio to a full outdoor kitchen with a screen enclosure and covered pergola, we handle every phase in-house, including the permits that many outdoor contractors skip.
