The Best Room in Your House Isn’t Inside:
Building the Backyard Bucket List
At Weather-Tite Exteriors, we’ve spent more than 35 years helping homeowners across the Black Hills protect what matters most. From roofing and siding to windows and gutters, our mission has always been simple:
Better Building = Better Living.
Over the years, we’ve learned something important. A home isn’t just about what’s inside the walls; it’s about the memories you make around it. Whether it’s enjoying your morning coffee, grilling with friends, watching the kids play, or taking in a beautiful Black Hills sunset, some of life’s best moments happen outside.
That’s why we’re excited to expand our Outdoor Living Division.
We’ve been building Trex composite decks for years because we believe they’re one of the best investments a homeowner can make. Unlike traditional wood, Trex decking won’t rot, warp, splinter, or require annual sanding and staining. It’s a low-maintenance composite decking product designed to withstand the harsh South Dakota climate, giving you more time to enjoy your backyard instead of maintaining it.
But we didn’t stop there.
Today, we’re helping homeowners create complete outdoor living spaces with:
- Composite Decking built for beauty and durability
- Covered patios and patio roof extensions that provide shade and protection from the elements
- Pergolas, pavilions, and gazebos that add character and create inviting gathering spaces
- Privacy walls for a more comfortable and secluded backyard
- Sunrooms that let you enjoy the outdoors year-round
- Under-deck drainage and ceiling systems that keep the space below your deck dry, creating additional storage or even another outdoor living area
One of our favorite upgrades is an under-deck drainage system. Installed before the deck boards go down, it channels rainwater into gutters while protecting the deck framing from moisture. The result is a longer-lasting deck and a dry, usable space underneath—perfect for a patio, outdoor seating area, or storage.
Every project starts with a conversation. We take the time to understand how you want to use your backyard, your budget, and your vision before designing a space that’s both beautiful and functional. Then, your dedicated Project Manager guides you through every step of the process, from design and permits to construction and the final walkthrough.
We believe outdoor living is becoming one of the most valuable parts of a home. It’s no longer just a deck, t’s an extension of your living room, your dining room, and your favorite gathering place.
After all, you don’t have to book a vacation when your getaway is just a few steps outside your back door.
