Exterior Improvements That Work for Burke Properties

Your property's outdoor features face constant exposure to rain, changing temperatures, vehicles, foot traffic, and moisture. As a home improvement company in Burke, Onyx Home Improvement LLC focuses on building and restoring exterior surfaces that support the way you use your property.

Our team evaluates the existing conditions before beginning an exterior project. Driveway replacements, patio installations, masonry repairs, walkways, retaining walls, and drainage work each require an approach suited to the property and its surroundings.

Onyx is an exterior-only contractor. We do not perform indoor renovations such as kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, or general interior remodeling. Our home improvement and remodeling work is limited to outdoor construction, paving, masonry, and related exterior improvements.

Benefits of Improving Your Burke Home Exterior

Create a Stronger Property Entrance

Driveways, steps, walkways, and front masonry contribute to the overall appearance of your home. Replacing worn surfaces or coordinating new materials can create a more defined and welcoming approach to the property.

Make Outdoor Areas More Practical

A well-planned patio can provide a dedicated area for outdoor meals, gatherings, or relaxation. We can design and install exterior surfaces that make better use of available space while connecting naturally with existing outdoor features.

Reduce Problems Caused by Runoff

Water that collects around hardscaped areas can contribute to erosion, surface deterioration, and other property concerns. We account for grading and drainage during exterior projects to help direct water where it needs to go.

Reinforce Sloped Areas

Changes in elevation can create challenges for soil stability and landscape organization. Retaining walls can help manage these transitions while adding structure to the property's exterior.

Refresh Aging Masonry

Exterior brick and stone features can show signs of wear over time. Repairs, repointing, and selective replacement can restore deteriorated areas while maintaining the character of the surrounding property.

Coordinate Multiple Exterior Features

A driveway, patio, walkway, and retaining wall can each serve a different purpose, but they should still work together visually and functionally. Our home improvement services can be planned around the existing exterior so new work feels integrated rather than disconnected.

    John and his team replaced our back brick stairs that were falling apart. They were able to create a new set of stairs that matched our old pavers much better than the previous stairs. They were able to re-grade/level our patio so that it now sits flat. The grading before prevented us from being able to sit our table flat without wobbling. Lastly they provided a new walkway into our backyard. We love the new look and functionality.

    Mike and his crew did a terrific job! He gave us a good price on the job, explained everything ahead of time, and carried it out as promised (and even more, throwing in a couple of extras). They arrived on time, completed everything as promised, cleaned up as they went! Mike personally supervised and followed up on each stage. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Onyx, and certainly would call on them if we had another project.

    The Onyx team was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The owner showed up within an hour after my posting. The brick front stoop was a mess, made worse by an incomplete repair. Onyx quoted a good price. The work was completed skillfully and efficiently. Customer service was first-rate throughout. We now have the best-looking, best built brick steps to our front door that we could have hoped for. I recommend Onyx without reservation.

    I’m extremely happy with my new paver walkway! The workmanship is excellent, and the project turned out even better than I imagined. The crew was professional, timely, and paid attention to every detail — from the layout and leveling to the final cleanup. The walkway looks beautiful, adds great curb appeal, and feels very solid underfoot. I highly recommend Onyx to anyone looking for quality paver work.

    Had a great experience with Onyx replacing and widening our driveway. They also replaced our front entry steps. John Cash walked us through the process and then kept us informed of the next steps as the actual work was progressing. The crew was very professional and we are very happy with the finished product. Will definitely use again for any future projects.

    Onyx leveled our paver patio for us after roots caused the pavers to lift up and be a danger to us. We are older and more likely to be injured if we fall. They dug out the roots and about 4 inches of dirt, repaired the broken drainage pipe underneath, leveled the foundation, added bluestone then put back our pavers and added a few new ones. They also built a small wall around the flower bed. The whole effect is quite stunning. They changed the pattern along the side as well making it more pleasing to the eye. We are quite happy with the result.
