Transforming your patio is packed with great benefits! Home additions like this add more value and comfort to your home. By choosing the right materials and design, you can create a cosy spot for your family to enjoy all year. Here’s why changing your patio is a good idea:

  • Firstly you have more space: Enclosing your patio adds extra room to your house. Which is perfect if your home is small or if your family is growing.
  • Secondly, you can use the space year-round: No matter how hot or cold it is outside, your enclosed patio is always ready to use. Subsequently, it becomes a great space for hanging out with friends, spending time with family, or just chilling on your own. Also, you have a room on hot days for a break from the sun, or on cold days to stay warm.
  • Thirdly, you have privacy and protection: An enclosed patio gives you a private space that an open one can’t provide. Which is especially useful if you have young kids or pets. Plus, bugs and insects can’t bother you!

Overall it’s a smart move all around!

Build A Separate-Entrance Cottage: A Sound Home Addition

Building a separate entrance cottage on your property has so many advantages. These types of home additions could make a significant difference in your life. Whilst you can use it for many different purposes, these 3 are probably at the top of the list:

  • A New Home For Elderly Parents: No more anguish over the well-being of your ageing parents. While this self-contained space maintains their independence and privacy, it also keeps them close to their family. That means they get the best of both worlds within a secure and comfortable environment.
  • A Teen Haven: Give your teenager a safe space to transition into adulthood. Firstly, a cottage allows them the freedom to come and go as they please. Secondly, they are not left completely to their own devices. So, it is a great way for your teenager to learn how to be responsible and independent. Except, that they still have support close at hand. In addition, you might find yourself with more much-deserved time to pursue your own interests.
  • Airbnb Accommodation: When not occupied by family or visitors, the cottage can serve as an Airbnb or rental property. By doing that, you are creating a consistent source of passive income. Which would make a big difference to your financial peace of mind.

Testimonials Of Our Work

We strive to be the BEST, not the cheapest, residential construction and paving contractor in SA. See what our clients say about our work:

I don’t usually write testimonials about companies that I deal with. But I must make an exception for Genesis Construction. When I decided to revamp my patio and pool area, which had wooden decking, I came across their website. They came out to the estate where I live and went about assessing how I wanted to refresh the look of the area with new paving. The consultant was knowledgeable and understood exactly what I had in mind. I pointed out that I was concerned about my daughter, who was a toddler and then hurting herself while playing in the garden during the construction process, and he assured me that the team would take every precaution to clear the debris as quickly as possible at the end of each day. Which they did. What really impressed me is that when issues arose, as they do in any form of renovation, Genesis dealt with it quickly. Their technical skill is also worth mentioning. The paving had to be installed with a few intricate angles and getting some of the corners and joins nicely finished required good attention to detail. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome and the experience and I would certainly use their services again. The revamped patio and pool area look great. I can highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a contractor who is a cut above the rest.
GAVIN LE ROUX
Genesis Construction is very professional, and honest, and at no time was there anything that was too much trouble for them to do. They worked each day until they had completed exactly what they said was going to be done. We recently had torrential rain in the Western Cape and I have not had a single leak. Laura and I cannot thank you enough for helping us sort out our difficult situation.
ALAN SCHUMER
Super happy with the experience and the end product. As you can see from the above rating we are very satisfied thus far.
CHRIS BROSZ
I have never in all my years dealt with someone whose word is their word. And who truly cares not only about the construction itself, but also about the client! Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they never let me down. The level of their work and customer service is beyond the norm. I will never use anyone else again.
MONIQUE COX
We want to recommend the services of Genesis Construction. I have used them for large paving jobs as well as smaller jobs, for example, garden kerbing. Their work has always been satisfactory. And their prices are very competitive. Management has always gone above and beyond for us. Their product knowledge and attention to detail serve as an asset to their customers.
SPIROS KOUTROMANOS
I used Genesis Construction to install approximately 300 m2 of paving around my house. The installation was intricate and had to incorporate a complex footprint, water diversions and steep inclines. The workmanship was of the highest quality and the consultant I interfaced with gave me good advice. During the design stages, the installation has proven to be long-lasting with no water pooling or sagging in the paved areas. I initially became aware of their workmanship when I saw one of the other paving installations at an estate in the Broadacres area. So I know their workmanship is long-lasting and they are capable of doing much larger projects than mine. It was a pleasure to work with the Genesis team and based on my experience with them, I have no problems recommending them for other construction and paving services.
RUDOLF BOTHA
Your good work doesn’t go unnoticed Genesis Construction.
KELLY TRUTER
We can highly recommend the Genesis Construction team for any paving job or construction project. From the minute we met, everything was handled very professionally. Decent advice, quotes, deposits, communication, actual work done and follow-up support were all covered meticulously. The work carried out was of a high standard and we are very happy with the look of the paving around the pool area. Their advice of using the slightly more expensive, high-quality urban paver has been worth every cent.
