Stonework pool features, walkways and patios for entertaining are specialties of Enjoy Homes.

What Enjoy Homes owner Wagner Lucena likes most in the business he started is “feeling good about the accomplishment and seeing the customer’s face when they first see the completed work. Clients come to us with an unplanned backyard, sometimes messy, and a vision of what they want. We implement their vision, and they can hardly believe the change.”

Hardscaping projects have been the main focus for Enjoy Homes since 2013.

“I started out at another company in landscaping and then masonry work,” Lucena said. “It was 2011 when I decided to run my own business. Constructing brick patios and pool decks, driveways and walkways, and stone walls were the most fulfilling aspects, so in 2018 we dedicated ourselves to that and no longer do landscape maintenance.

“Because I’m a general contractor, we also do additions and remodeling, both inside and out, including roofing and siding. We have a good reputation there, too. I think because the results for the outdoors are a huge change, customers are really impressed. It’s turning a simple space into something completely new.”

As for the latest trends, Lucena cited outdoor kitchens or patios with fire pits.

“During the pandemic, they became popular, and that hasn’t slowed. Some people want a gas pit for cooking, others want a built-in grill and preparation area. We’ve even provided a pizza oven outside. It’s also common to build an entertainment area with a fire pit for socializing. One client had us create an outdoor fireplace so smoke from the wood would be carried up and away.”

In addition to brick and stone patios, Enjoy Homes constructs wooden or composite decks. Other common outdoor projects include creating or updating backyard pool spaces, and installing stone retaining walls and walkways for businesses.

Many Enjoy Homes jobs start with a plan that customers created with a landscape designer.

“Then the homeowner contacts us. We provide an estimate, discuss options, and implement it,” said Lucena. “If there isn’t a plan, we can create the drawing for them.”

Customers appreciate Enjoy Homes, said Lucena, “because we are trustworthy and friendly. People want that for a crew who is at their home for a while. They sometimes tell us about other contractors where they didn’t have that kind of experience or no one was overseeing the work, so things didn’t turn out as planned. They find the investment to be worthwhile, not just in terms of enjoying it, but it also increases a home’s value.”

On client, Jane S., provided this review: “We were very impressed with the project management, communication, flexibility with last-minute design change by us, and quality of work. Highly recommend!”

Lucena knows from his own home in Southborough how satisfying it is to have an attractive and comfortable outdoor space. He and his wife enjoy it with their two children. As for how he takes a break completely apart from anything related to homes, Lucena said, “I really like riding my motorcycle.”
