Thoughtfully Designed Remodeling for Homes That Need More Room, More Comfort, and More Value
Homeowners in Oreland, PA, often reach a point where their space no longer works how they need it to. The basement may still be unfinished. The garage may be barely used. Perhaps the windows are leaky and outdated, or the deck that once hosted summer cookouts is now rotting and unsafe. That’s where Back To Nature steps in.
We offer innovative, detailed, and value-driven remodeling services tailored to the four-season demands of Southeastern Pennsylvania. Whether it’s a complete basement remodeling project, a code-compliant garage installation, or energy-efficient window and door remodeling, our work is built around your lifestyle and your long-term goals for your home.
From structure to finish and layout planning to material selections, we give you access to trained artisans, licensed deck contractors, and construction professionals who care about doing it right.
What We Remodel — and Why It Matters
Deck Remodeling and Deck Construction That Lasts
Oreland sees heavy rainfall in spring, sun exposure in summer, and freeze-thaw cycles in winter. Every deck we build or remodel is engineered for that.
- Framing Materials: We use pressure-treated lumber or steel framing for high-moisture resistance, with 12″ or 16″ joist spacing based on span and material type.
- Decking Options: Choose composite (low-maintenance, long lifespan) and natural hardwoods (warmer aesthetics with more upkeep).
- Designs with Purpose: Add staircases, railing systems, lighting, privacy screens, and built-in planters—engineered for drainage and weather movement.
An adequately installed deck system with correct ledger flashing, lateral bracing, and proper stair stringers doesn’t just look great—it stays safe for decades. Trust a skilled deck builder and decking contractor like Back To Nature for results you can count on.
Basement Remodeling With Full Code Compliance
We don’t just make your basement look finished—we build it to meet structural and safety codes.
- Framing Techniques: All walls are framed with PT bottom plates on concrete, and foam or mineral wool insulation is installed per building codes for conditioned space.
- Moisture and Mold Prevention: We assess slab moisture before flooring, apply vapor barriers, and seal rim joists to prevent airflow and condensation.
- Rooms with Purpose: Home gyms, kids’ play areas, media rooms, guest bedrooms with full egress—all designed with airflow, zoning, and lighting in mind.
Basement contractors who understand insulation, HVAC load, and building code create safe, dry, and comfortable spaces every season.
Garage Remodeling and Garage Installation Done Right
Whether you want to build a new detached garage or convert your attached garage into a livable space, we do it with an engineer’s eye for insulation, structure, and function.
- Conversions: Convert a standard 2-car garage into a heated guest suite, income unit, or home office with proper slab prep, HVAC extension, and electrical upgrades.
- Garage Builds: Site-built, slab-on-grade garages for extra vehicles or hobby space, complete with finished interiors, attic storage, and secure weatherproof doors.
- Energy Management: We install R-19 or higher insulation, air-sealed doors, and code-vented HVAC connections to keep your converted garage comfortable year-round.
Your garage remodeling project should be more than cosmetic—it should be functional, code-compliant, and energy-efficient.
Window and Door Remodeling for Year-Round Efficiency
Drafty windows and leaky door frames don’t just feel bad—they waste hundreds of dollars a year in energy.
- What We Install: We offer double-pane, Low-E, argon-filled windows with composite or fiberglass frames and thermally broken steel or insulated fiberglass entry doors.
- Installation Method: No shortcuts. We plumb and level every frame, tape with flashing membrane, insulate the gaps and seal with high-performance caulk.
- Benefits: ENERGY STAR-certified windows can reduce your utility bills by up to 12% annually. Combined with proper insulation and HVAC settings, you gain more comfort and control.
Oreland’s Climate + Back To Nature’s Seasonal Remodeling Strategy
Every service we offer is planned around the unique seasonal demands of Montgomery County. Here’s how we structure remodels for durability, build quality, and homeowner comfort:
| Season | Best Remodeling Focus | Why This Season Works |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Deck construction, garage builds, structural framing | Soil is thawed, weather is dry—ideal for digging footings, framing, and foundation work. |
| Summer | Window and door remodeling, garage conversions, outdoor kitchens | Extended daylight hours and dry weather make it easier to seal building envelopes and finish exteriors. |
| Fall | Basement remodeling, drainage systems, insulation upgrades | Moderate temps are best for drywall, HVAC tuning, and mold-resistant basement builds. |
| Winter | Interior basement finishes, electrical work, trim carpentry, remodel planning | An ideal time for indoor-only work. Schedule plans, permits, and designs for spring execution. |
Back To Nature builds for every season—and with foresight. We choose the right time to break ground so your deck contractor, basement contractor, or remodeling team avoids delays and builds confidently.
