Design and Build Contractor in Georgetown, DE for Remodeling and Outdoor Living
If you have questions call us at (302) 515-1939 or email at innovation@cdab.solutions.
Cape Design & Build, LLC is a design-build contractor in Georgetown, DE serving homeowners throughout Sussex County, including Milford, Millsboro, and Rehoboth Beach. We plan and build the spaces where Sussex County families live, cook, gather, and relax, from remodeled kitchens and bathrooms to decks, patios, pergolas, and complete outdoor living areas. Our approach is straightforward: one team handles the design, the permitting, and the construction, so the person who listens to your goals stays connected to the crew that brings them to life.
Building in coastal Delaware comes with its own set of conditions. Sandy soils affect footings and patio bases. Humidity and salt air shorten the life of the wrong materials and hardware. Afternoon winds near the beaches and inland bays put real loads on awnings, pergolas, and gazebos. Flood zones influence how high a home and its decks must sit. Every project we take on in Georgetown, Milford, Millsboro, and Rehoboth Beach is planned with these factors in mind, so what we build holds up season after season.

Our Approach to Design and Build in Sussex County
Homeowners come to us with very different projects, but each one follows the same disciplined path. We start with a site visit to understand the property, the existing structure, and how you actually use the space. From there, we develop a design, help you select materials suited to Sussex County conditions, and prepare the documentation needed for permits in the correct jurisdiction, whether that is unincorporated Sussex County or a municipality like Georgetown, Milford, or Rehoboth Beach.
During construction, inspections are scheduled at the required stages so nothing is covered before it is approved. When the work is complete, we walk the finished project with you and review care requirements for your new materials. Keeping design and construction under one roof reduces change orders, prevents miscommunication between separate designers and builders, and keeps your project moving on a realistic schedule.

Remodeling and Construction Services in Georgetown, DE
Remodeling & Construction Services
Our remodeling and construction services cover kitchen and bathroom renovations, home additions, whole-home renovations, and new construction. We manage design, permitting, and building under one contract so your project stays organized from the first measurement to the final inspection.
Home Remodeling
Home remodeling updates how your house works, from opening up a kitchen layout to finishing a basement or creating an accessible first-floor suite. We evaluate existing conditions early so outdated wiring, plumbing, or framing is addressed in the plan rather than discovered halfway through.
Outdoor Living Services in Sussex County, DE
Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor living spaces bring decks, patios, shade structures, kitchens, and fire features together into one cohesive plan. Designing every element at once means framing, drainage, and utility lines are coordinated before any surface is finished.
Deck Construction
Deck construction starts below the surface with properly sized footings, correctly spanned joists, and a securely flashed ledger connection. We build with composite, PVC, or pressure-treated decking and corrosion-resistant hardware suited to coastal Delaware.
Deck Design & Installation
Deck design and installation plans your deck around how you entertain, cook, and relax outdoors. Single-level, multi-level, wraparound, and elevated layouts are paired with railings, stairs, and lighting chosen for your home and view.
Patio Construction
Patio construction with pavers, poured concrete, stamped concrete, or natural stone depends on a well-compacted base and correct slope. We build patios that drain away from your foundation and stay level in Sussex County's sandy soils.
Pergola Design & Installation
Pergola design and installation adds filtered shade and structure to decks and patios. We build wood, vinyl, aluminum, and louvered pergolas anchored to resist the wind uplift common near the coast.
Gazebo Design & Installation
Gazebo design and installation creates a fully roofed retreat anywhere on your property, from poolside shade to a screened dining area. We plan foundations, roofing, and optional electrical for fans and lighting.

Retractable Awnings & Screen Shades
Retractable Awnings and patio temperatures, protect furniture from fading, and reduce heat gain through windows. We install retractable, motorized, fixed, and window awnings sized to the way the sun crosses your property.
Vinyl Shades
Vinyl shades enclose covered porches and patios with clear or tinted vinyl that blocks wind, rain, and cooler air. They extend the use of outdoor spaces into spring and fall for homes and restaurant patios alike.
Serving Georgetown, Milford, Millsboro, Rehoboth Beach, and All of Sussex County

In Rehoboth Beach, homeowners and rental property owners look for durable, coastal-ready construction and outdoor spaces that guests can enjoy throughout the season. Wherever your property sits in Sussex County, our design and build process adapts to its specific soil, exposure, and permitting requirements.

Neil Schuldenfrei
Josh and Andrew did a great job for us. We chose them because their estimate was much more detailed than the other estimates we got, They were very easy to work with, and they stayed on top of the project, working on it every day unless they were waiting for parts or a permit. And their subs did first-class work as well. We're really happy with the result, and we've already recommended them to our friends.
Cape Design & Build designed and installed a complicated electric blind system in our screened in porch. Josh and his team did an exceptional job. Measurements were precise and installation was seamless. They are professional and always on time. It's refreshing to have a contractor who works diligently to deliver a first class product.
