Heartlands Building Company

Check out the Fall 2012 County Living Magazine! The project on the cover and an article inside on page 8 feature one of our beautiful Heartlands outdoor living room projects. This particular project features a lot of the special qualities of a Heartlands project. The usual attention to detail and quality materials are there along with retractable screen walls, masonry surrounded gas fireplace, gas grill cooking area, and a beautiful ceiling. The most important aspect of course is how it blends with the existing home and adds so much to the lifestyle of the homeowners.

This is not the first time a happy customer has shown us this type of appreciation, but it’s certainly not the norm. Today, a family whos project is not quite finished, is so excited about the installation of their built-in grill and imminent completion of their outdoor living area, that they hosted a barbeque for all those working hard to get it done for them. Originally, they were going to build a vacation home an hour away, but reconsidered, deciding instead to create a vacation space in the back yard of their Wildwood home. Despite not being quite finished, you can see that it's becoming quite the retreat, with features to entertain practically all year round.

You might think that an outdoor room would be a poor investment if you live in a variable climate like we have in Missouri . Would you get to use it more if you lived in a more temperate climate? Probably, but the outdoor season is actually quite long here, even in a record hot year like this one. Let’s consider the calendar. In December and January, most people don’t really give much thought to spending time outside unless they are ice skating, sledding or skiing. By February and March, spring fever usually starts to set in and we can’t wait to be able to spend time outdoors again. The addition of infrared heaters or a gas or wood burning fireplace to an outdoor room will make it comfortable enough at this time of year to enjoy a patio or screened room on those less than frigid days that start to get longer. April, May and June and September through the beginning of November are generally perfect for enjoying your outdoor spaces, but in July and August, you can still enjoy
