Service Details

Outdoor living should feel like a natural extension of your home. At TNS Construction, we design and build custom outdoor spaces that add comfort, function, and long-term value. Whether you want a new deck for mountain views, a covered porch for year-round use, or a one-of-a-kind specialty feature that makes your property stand out, we build it with the same care and structure we bring to full home remodeling and new construction work.

We are a small, owner-operated company based in Leicester, NC, and we have been serving homeowners across the Asheville area since 2014. When you work with us, you work directly with Bryan Sherlin from the start. Bryan prices every job and stays involved on-site. We keep our work in-house, and we do not rely on cheap crews. That means better communication, tighter quality control, and a finished space that looks right and performs the way it should.

What this service includes

Our outdoor living and specialty build work is custom. We do not force homeowners into cookie-cutter designs. We build spaces around how you want to live, entertain, relax, and use your property. Depending on your goals, this service can include:

  • Custom decks and elevated decks
  • Covered porches and screened-in porches
  • Outdoor living areas for dining, gathering, and entertaining
  • Specialty wood structures and architectural exterior features
  • Stairs, railings, built-in seating, and custom trim details
  • Outdoor roof structures and framed shade features
  • Integrated design elements that tie the new space into the home
  • Structural, architectural, and full-scale renovation work related to exterior living spaces

Every project is built around your home site, your layout, and your style. In Western North Carolina, outdoor construction needs to account for slope, drainage, weather exposure, and long-term durability. We plan for those details early so the finished build is not only attractive, but also solid, safe, and practical.

Our process

We believe a successful project starts with clear communication and honest planning. We take time to understand what you want from the space, how you want it to function, and what matters most to you in terms of appearance, maintenance, and budget. From there, we develop a plan that fits your property and your home.

Our process typically covers these key areas:

  • Scope: We define the full project clearly, including layout, features, structural needs, access, finish details, and how the new space will connect to the existing home.
  • Challenges: We review grading, drainage, attachment points, elevation changes, material movement, weather exposure, and any site-specific conditions that can affect the build.
  • Materials: We help you choose the right framing, decking, trim, roofing, rail systems, and finish materials based on appearance, durability, and maintenance expectations.
  • Timeline: We set realistic expectations for scheduling, sequencing, and construction milestones so you know what to expect as the project moves forward.
  • Before and After: If project photos are available, we can show the transformation and help you visualize what is possible for your own home.

This approach helps avoid surprises and keeps the work moving in the right direction. Our customers appreciate that we stay involved and communicate well throughout the project, not just at the beginning.

Built for comfort, function, and curb appeal

A well-built outdoor space does more than add square footage. It changes how you use your home. A custom deck can create a better place for family time, cookouts, and quiet evenings. A covered porch can give you shade in summer and protection from weather through more of the year. A specialty exterior build can improve curb appeal and give your home a more finished, custom look.

We focus on designs that make sense for the home, not features that feel added on. The goal is to create an outdoor area that feels intentional, fits the structure of the house, and adds real value. That means paying attention to proportions, transitions, roof lines, support systems, and finish details that other builders sometimes overlook.

Materials and construction standards

The right materials matter, especially in the Asheville, Waynesville, Lake Junaluska, and Maggie Valley areas where homes see moisture, seasonal weather changes, and mountain conditions. We guide homeowners through material options based on the look they want and the level of upkeep they prefer.

Material selections may include pressure-treated framing, premium decking products, durable exterior trim, wood accents, and roofing components for covered structures. We look at performance as much as appearance. A beautiful outdoor structure should still feel strong and stable years down the road.

Because we handle the work with an experienced in-house team, we are able to maintain quality from framing through finish details. We do not cut corners on structure, and we do not rush important steps that affect longevity.

Who this service is for

This service is a good fit for homeowners who want more than a basic add-on. Many of our clients are looking for a higher-end result that complements the home and feels custom from the start. Some want a better place to enjoy the outdoors. Others want to improve resale appeal, expand usable living space, or invest in projects with meaningful impact that upgrade the entire property.

If you want a builder who is hands-on, easy to reach, and focused on doing the work the right way, that is exactly how we operate. As a fourth-generation local builder, Bryan brings practical experience and direct oversight to every project. We believe that matters, especially on custom exterior work where site conditions and structural details can make a big difference.

"I can't say enough good things about Bryan and his crew. WE had a deck an fence built by them, due to the slope of the land it was a very challenging job and the finished product was excellent. We also had them do some painting, installing ceiling fans and hanging our televisions. all of this was done in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend reaching out to them for any project you have. You will not be disappointed."
