Transform Your Outdoor Space with Five Star Contractors
A well-designed patio turns underused outdoor areas into inviting, functional extensions of your home. Five Star Contractors works with homeowners across Philadelphia and Southeastern Pennsylvania to create patios that fit their property, lifestyle, and aesthetic vision. Our deep knowledge of building science means we evaluate every aspect of your home and site, including sun exposure, drainage patterns, grade changes, and material performance.
Our projects range from simple seating areas to elaborate layouts for entertaining. Some start with bare backyards, others replace aging hardscape affected by harsh winters. Every patio is carefully planned in the context of your home and landscape, ensuring your outdoor space not only looks beautiful but also functions efficiently and stands the test of time.

Patio Materials & Design Options
Choosing the right materials impacts performance, aesthetics, and long-term maintenance. We guide homeowners in Philadelphia and surrounding areas to select options that complement their homes and meet their needs:
Natural Stone: Stands up to freeze-thaw cycles, adds character and visual interest, and integrates seamlessly with older homes.
Brick: A classic choice in the Philadelphia area, ideal when your home or existing hardscape includes brickwork.
Pavers: Flexible and durable, pavers adjust to seasonal ground shifts and offer design versatility.
Tile: Ideal for covered or semi-sheltered patios, creating a polished, finished look.
Gravel: Cost-conscious and permeable, suitable for informal seating areas or garden paths.
During planning, we’ll review site conditions, how you intend to use the space, and the maintenance requirements of each material to recommend the best option for your property.
Patio Features: Lighting, Covers, and Functional Add-Ons
We can elevate your patio with thoughtfully integrated features that increase usability, comfort, and enjoyment:
Patio Lighting: Extends your patio use into the evening, enhances safety on steps and grade changes, and creates an inviting ambiance for entertaining.
Patio Covers: Provide shade on sunny days and protection from light rain, making your patio comfortable in a variety of weather conditions.
Built-In Seating or Planters: Adds functional design elements that integrate with your landscape while creating gathering spaces and visual appeal.
Outdoor Fire Features: Introduces warmth and a focal point for social gatherings, enhancing year-round usability.
Integrated Electrical Outlets & Wiring: Supports outdoor appliances, audio systems, and holiday lighting without requiring a retrofit later.
Decorative Hardscape Accents: Incorporates stone, brick, or paver patterns to add character and complement your home’s architecture.
By including these elements during the design phase, we ensure structural integrity, proper wiring, and optimal placement, so your patio is fully prepared to become a central part of your outdoor living experience.
Combining a Deck and Patio for a Complete Outdoor Living Space
For some homes, a patio alone provides a sufficiently enjoyable outdoor living space. Some properties, however, benefit from a coordinated deck-and-patio design. Split-level lots, homes with grade differences between doors and yards, or properties with both covered entries and open lawn often see the most value from combining these surfaces. A deck-and-patio combination creates a seamless, functional outdoor living space that supports gatherings, relaxation, and everyday use.
Designing these spaces together requires careful planning. Five Star Contractors ensures that transitions between levels, traffic flow, lighting, and drainage work in harmony. Both the deck and patio are designed to complement each other visually and functionally, with materials, finishes, and features selected to enhance continuity and usability.
Our process-first approach means each element is installed with precision and forethought, giving you a cohesive space that performs beautifully from day one. For more examples and inspiration, check our deck builder and outdoor living services pages.

Reviews
We used Five Star Contractors initially for siding replacement and stucco remediation. Because of their excellent work we had them return a year later to replace our aging roof and install new gutters and downspouts. The management team and crews on both jobs were professional, polite and respectful of our property and our neighbors. As their name says... their work is 5 Stars!
Five Star remediated our failing stucco and repaired extensive hidden damage. They also replaced all doors and windows. Their crews were professional, friendly and respectful. We were impressed with their ability to replace all the windows and doors without creating a mess, and they replaced all trim and plantation shutters seamlessly. Robert was frequently on site, and he offered excellent design suggestions throughout the project. We recommend Five Star without reservations. You will not be disappointed.
We chose five star and are so glad we did! When we purchased a home that needed a full stucco remediation we interviewed and obtained quotes from many companies. Five Stars quality of work and professionalism really stood out among the rest. They were easy to work with, attentive to detail, responsive and fully delivered going above and beyond. They are not the cheapest company but you get what you pay for, and we got the best!
We had a great experience with Five Star Contractors when they fully replaced our siding. Discovering that our house needed major repairs was a stressful experience, but from our first meeting with Matt and Michal we felt at ease. From start to finish, they were incredibly communicative, always taking the time to answer our questions thoroughly. What really stood out was how they walked us through the science behind proper construction techniques, helping us understand not just what they were doing, but why it mattered. Throughout the process we had multiple roadblocks on our end, and they were very understanding and flexible. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled, transparent, and knowledgeable professionals.
Best contractor in the area. Attention to detail and very trustworthy. They do the job right and stand behind all their work. The crew works hard and their goal is to make you happy, whatever your needs are. Five Star will at least meet, but probably exceed your expectations as they have for me. They are neat and clean up the site every night before they leave, even using a magnet to find loose nails because I have 4 dogs. I couldn’t be happier with them and I am not easy to please. Michal, thank you for all you do.
Five star did an excellent job with our stucco remediation. The quality of the work is exceptional. Michael and Robert are very involved with the day to day operation and came up with excellent ideas to make our vision become reality. Every person on the team was a pleasure to work with. They were on time, respectful and professional . In particular Jesse is absolutely exceptional in everything he does. We wholeheartedly recommend Five Star!
