At 570 Remodeling, we extend your living space outdoors — and in this part of Pennsylvania, that means building something that holds up to everything NEPA weather throws at it.
Wilkes-Barre homes, from the row houses off Coal Street to the older Victorians near the North End, often have underused yards and back spaces that can become real outdoor living areas — if the deck or patio is built right the first time.

We handle outdoor builds from the ground up across Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding Wyoming Valley — here’s what that includes:
Whether you’re looking at pressure-treated lumber or a low-maintenance composite like Trex or AZEK, we’ll help you choose the right material for your home, your yard, and the NEPA climate. Composite holds up better against the freeze-thaw cycling we get every winter in this valley — no warping, no splitting, no re-staining every two years. We frame everything to carry the snow loads we see in Luzerne County, and we account for drainage from the start so you’re not dealing with a rotting ledger board five years in.
A lot of decks in Wilkes-Barre were built years ago with whatever pressure-treated lumber was available at the time, and they’ve taken some punishment since. We assess the full structure — joists, ledger, posts, footings — before recommending repairs. Sometimes it’s a board swap and a good cleaning. Other times the framing underneath has been compromised and needs to be addressed properly. We don’t patch over problems; we tell you exactly what’s going on and fix it to last.
A well-laid patio can be the most durable outdoor feature you add to a Wilkes-Barre property. We work with concrete pavers, natural stone, and poured concrete depending on your layout, budget, and how the ground grades on your lot. Proper base prep is everything — skip it and frost heave will have your patio shifting and cracking within a few winters. We excavate to depth, set the right base, and install drainage where the site calls for it.
Fence work in Wilkes-Barre comes with its own considerations — older lots with uneven grades, shared property lines, and ground that freezes hard every winter. We set posts to the right depth so they don’t heave out of the ground come spring. Whether you want privacy fencing, a decorative picket, or something to define the yard perimeter, we size and set the job correctly from the posts up.
A lot of older Wilkes-Barre homes have front porches that are structurally sound but showing their age — deteriorating railings, soft porch boards, columns that have seen better days. We restore and rebuild porches to match the character of the home while making sure everything meets current code for railing height and baluster spacing. New railing systems can dramatically change the look and safety of a porch without a full rebuild.
If you’re serious about outdoor entertaining, integrating a kitchen setup into your deck or patio build makes a lot more sense than adding it on afterward. We plan for it from the start — structural support for heavier built-ins, weatherproof framing, utility access if you’re running gas or electric. The Wyoming Valley has short enough warm seasons that when the weather’s good, you want to actually use the space.
Building outdoors in Wilkes-Barre isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about making decisions on materials, structure, and drainage that hold up in a climate that will absolutely test them every single year:
NEPA winters are hard on outdoor structures. Freeze-thaw cycles crack concrete, split untreated wood, and heave footings that weren't set deep enough. Every material choice we make — from composite decking to the gravel base under your patio — is selected with Wilkes-Barre winters in mind. We're not guessing at this; we've seen what holds up and what doesn't in this valley.
Decks and patios in Wilkes-Barre require permits, and skipping that step creates real problems when you sell or if something goes wrong. We handle the permit process, pull the right approvals, and build to Pennsylvania code so you're covered. No shortcuts that come back to bite you later.
We give you a detailed written estimate before anything starts — materials, labor, timeline. No vague line items, no surprises when the invoice arrives. For homeowners in Wilkes-Barre comparing bids, we'd rather lose a job on an honest number than win it with a lowball and make it up later.
We build decks, patios, porches, fences, and outdoor kitchens — so your entire exterior project stays with one crew that knows the full scope of the job. You're not coordinating between a deck builder and a separate fence company who've never met each other. One point of contact, start to finish.

Here’s how a typical deck, patio, or fence installation comes together for Wilkes-Barre homeowners:

We take on a limited number of outdoor projects at a time so every build gets our full attention. If you’re planning something for your Wilkes-Barre property, it’s worth reaching out sooner rather than later to get on the schedule.
