The Back of Your House Is About to Become the Room You Use Most
A complete, insulated outdoor room you'll actually live in. We design it, handle every council form, build it with our own crew and warrant it.
The Difference Between a Roof Over a Slab and a Room You'll Live In
A lot of what gets sold as a patio is really just a roof over a slab. Sheeting, posts, a bead of sealant where it meets your house, and good luck in the first southerly.
A room is different. It's designed around how you'd actually use the space out the back, approved properly, and built to sit through everything the Mid Coast throws at it. Coastal-grade aluminium, never steel. Roof sheeting and guttering we roll in our own workshop. And the gutter comes off so the flashing can go up under your existing roof, which is the whole reason ours don't leak.
We design it, we lodge the council paperwork, we build it and we warrant it. One crew, one contract, one number to ring.
Matt's been building for thirty years and says it better than we can: we do it right the first time.
Pick the Outdoor Room That Fits How You Actually Live
Flat and Skillion
From $10kClean modern lines and high, open sight-lines, with an insulated roof that stays cool when summer bites. The everyday favourite.
Gable and Hip
From $15kA pitched roof matched to your house, so it looks like it was always part of the place. Extra height, extra light.
Opening Roof
From $20kLouvres that open and close, so you choose the light. Full sun for lunch, closed and dry when the southerly arrives.
Freestanding
From $15kStands on its own with no wall needed. Ideal over the pool, the spa or the barbecue area. Insulated or open.
Enclosed Outdoor Rooms
Priced on siteClose in what you already have, or build it enclosed from day one. A room you can use in July as well as January.
Decks and Verandas
Priced on siteFrom a single deck to a veranda the whole way around the house. We have built both, and everything in between.
Five Reasons to Build With a Local Crew Instead of a Flat-Pack Kit
Never Deal With Council Yourself
Every DA, certificate and inspection handled from start to finish. You will never sit on hold to Port Macquarie-Hastings, Kempsey or MidCoast council.
We Flash It, We Don't Silicone It
The gutter comes off and an apron flashing goes up under your existing roof. Two roofs become one roof, so water has nowhere to get in.
Aluminium, Never Steel
Coastal-grade aluminium on every job. Steel kits and salt air are a countdown you don't notice for years, and then notice everywhere.
We Make the Roof Over Your Head
Roof sheeting and guttering roll-formed in our own workshop. If a length is wrong we make another one rather than order it in.
Warranted by the People Who Built It
Two year workmanship warranty and six year structural, signed by us. The number on it is the same one you rang for the quote.
A Few of the Rooms We've Handed Over
Flat roofs, gables, opening roofs, enclosed rooms and decks, all built by our own crew across the Mid Coast. Click any photo to open it full screen.

Built by Our Own Crew
Materials roll-formed in our workshop, then installed by our own supervisors and crews.
Warranted and Looked After
Two year workmanship and six year structural, signed at handover. If it ever needs attention, you are not chasing anyone.
Meet Matt and Linda Hayes
Matt has been building for thirty years and has run this business on the Mid Coast for the last fifteen. He wants three things from it: a business that feels like a family, a crew that behaves professionally, and jobs that are done right the first time.
Linda has been part of the business the same fifteen years. She came second in the state for engineering and drew for Lendlease on Barangaroo, and every plan that goes to council for your job is drawn by her, not sent off to a drafting service.
"I've rebuilt too many patios that should've been done properly the first time. That's really why Hayes exists. We do the whole job ourselves, and if something's not right, you ring me."Matt Hayes · Hayes Home Additions
Hayes Home Additions is a family owned and run business. For as long as Matt and Linda have been building on the Mid Coast, they have been installing Spanline structures as the region's preferred builder. Whichever name brought you here, it is the same local crew that turns up.
Why Mid Coast Homeowners Hand Their Backyard to This Crew
Your Quote Comes From a Carpenter, Not a Salesman
They hold contractor licences as carpenters and have built these themselves. So what you get promised in the quote is what can actually be built.
Silicone Is Not a Repair, and We Don't Use It
If a roof of ours ever leaks, we come back and fix the flashing properly, at our cost. No silicone, no patching.
Licensed Builder, and the Warranty Is Ours
NSW contractor licence 354769C. Two year workmanship, six year structural, signed by the company on that licence, not a supplier.
We Are Who the Failed Jobs Get Sent To
We are regularly called in to rebuild kits that were installed badly, including after Fair Trading matters. We have seen every way it goes wrong.
Our Crews Don't Rotate
Once tradesmen come to us they stay. The crew on your job has been with us for years, not just for this job.
One Port Macquarie Crew, Covering the Coast From Stuarts Point to Seal Rocks
Based in Port Macquarie and on the road across the Mid Coast: Wauchope, Lake Cathie, Bonny Hills and Laurieton, north through Kempsey to South West Rocks and Stuarts Point, south through Taree, Harrington and Forster to Seal Rocks and Bulahdelah. Coastal corridor, not over the ranges.
See What Your Backyard Could Turn Into
Every pair below is the same backyard, same angle, photographed on the day we handed it over. Nothing staged and nothing borrowed. Have a look at the ones closest to your place, then picture yours.
BeforeAfter
An open patio the family barely used once the wind picked up. We closed it in under the existing roofline with glazing and sliding doors, so it is now a room off the house rather than a covered slab.
BeforeAfter
The old timber gazebo had gone dark and mossy and only covered half the barbecue area. It came out for an insulated flat roof on slim posts, which shades the whole space and lets the light back in underneath.
BeforeAfter
This balcony copped every wind change, so we closed it in with glass. Same view, minus the weather.
If the Last One Leaked, Ran Late or Never Got Fixed, Read This
You have heard the stories. Maybe you have lived one. A patio that leaks six months in, and the same bloke turning up with the same tube of silicone. A job quoted at two days that drags into three weeks. A supplier who says it's the installation and an installer who says it's the product, while you stand in the middle with a wet floor.
Here is the thing nobody tells you: it is almost never the roof. It is the join where the new roof meets your house. Get that wrong and no amount of sealant will save it.
So we do it differently. Your gutter comes off and the apron flashing goes in under the existing roofline, before a single new sheet is laid. And because we design it, get it approved, build it and warrant it, there is nobody for us to point at.
Real Reviews, Real Names, Real Mid Coast Backyards
"From the very start of the process my experience was efficient, friendly and very professional. From quoting to construction and handover I was very satisfied with the team. The product itself is excellent quality and was the perfect cover for our outdoor spa. I would have no hesitation recommending this company."
Tony Scroope"They were very efficient, good communication; installer was friendly and did a great job installing the roof over our courtyard, it looks great. What was once an area we couldn't use in summer and rain has now added another room. Suits us perfectly."

Deborah Ashton-KingBefore You Book a Quote
Will it leak? +
Not if the join is done properly, and that is where almost all of them fail. We take the gutter off and run an apron flashing up under your existing roof before the new roof goes on. Ask whoever else is quoting you what they do there.
How long does council approval take, and can you speed it up? +
Honestly, that part is out of anyone's hands. Some come through quickly and others take months, depending on the council and how complex your job is. What we can do is lodge it properly, chase it, and book the inspections, so it never sits waiting on you.
What warranty do I get, and what does it actually cover? +
Two years on workmanship and six years structural, signed by us. Workmanship covers how it was built and fitted. Structural covers the frame and the footings. It rains here, so if there is a problem you will know inside the first winter, and we will be back.
I have a quote for half the price. What am I actually paying extra for? +
Probably a kit, or a kit with a carpenter to fit it. Ours is a build: design, council, manufacture, installation and warranty from one company. Bring both quotes to the consult and we will go through them line by line.
Can you build over my existing slab, or do I need a new one? +
Often we can build over a sound existing slab, which saves you money. If it will not take it, we will tell you straight at the consult and quote the footing work then, not later.
How long is the build itself, and is my backyard out of action the whole time? +
Builds usually start two to three months after approval, and the install itself is days rather than weeks. We confirm dates with you beforehand, so you are never left guessing.
Imagine Sunday Lunch Under Your Own Patio, Rain or Shine
By now you can probably picture it. A room you would actually use, built properly, and added to the house you already own. That is the whole point of one local team that designs it, builds it and stands behind it. No leaks to argue about later. No surprises on the quote.
