Choosing Tekton Exteriors means choosing a partner dedicated to quality, transparency, and local expertise. Unlike general contractors, we specialize in exterior solutions, with a deep focus on creating durable and beautiful outdoor living spaces. Our team is fully licensed and insured, providing you with peace of mind and protection. We use only premium, climate-appropriate materials and follow meticulous installation processes to ensure your patio or kitchen lasts for decades. Our commitment to the Canton community means we provide personalized service, clear communication, and a final product that not only meets but exceeds your expectations, enhancing your home’s value and your lifestyle.

The timeline for a project varies based on its scope and complexity, but a typical patio installation can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks. A more involved custom outdoor kitchen project, which includes plumbing, gas lines, and electrical work, may take three to six weeks from start to finish. The process begins with the initial consultation and design phase, followed by material selection and permitting if necessary. The on-site construction includes site preparation, foundation work, installation of the base and surface, and finally, the construction of any structures like kitchens or pergolas. We provide a detailed project timeline at the outset so you know exactly what to expect.

Absolutely. Building for the Mississippi climate is a cornerstone of our construction philosophy. We incorporate storm-resistant and weatherproof techniques into every project. This starts with proper site grading to ensure excellent water runoff and prevent pooling. Our foundations are built to be robust and stable. For patios, we use materials rated for freeze-thaw cycles, and for our outdoor kitchens and pergolas, we use structurally sound, weather-resistant lumber and fasteners. We can also design covered patios and reinforced structures to better withstand high winds and heavy rain, ensuring your investment is protected and remains safe and beautiful through all seasons.

For patios in our humid climate, we highly recommend materials like concrete pavers, natural stone (such as bluestone or flagstone), and high-quality stamped concrete due to their durability and excellent drainage properties. For outdoor kitchens, the structure should be built with a steel or pressure-treated wood frame, covered in a durable exterior finish like cement board (Hardie board) and then finished with stone, brick, or stucco. Countertops should be non-porous and weather-resistant, with granite and quartzite being excellent choices. For appliances, we only install 304-grade stainless steel products specifically designed and warranted for outdoor use to resist rust and corrosion.
