Often we are working with existing framing and adding/adjusting as needed. In the case of this deck, we had a lot of framing to work with, but I knew I wanted to really switch out how all the circulation worked (that is, how the stairs are laid out.) We more-or-less threw out the existing concept,…
This client has a rich history of visiting this lake in Weare every year since 1957, and eventually bought a cabin on the lake. They wanted to have a front deck from where they could see the beach and lake resort they are so fond of, where all their family gathers each year. It’s a…
This deck need some leveling and re-attaching to the house but you’d never know it. The Trex Lineage line of decking looks really nice. We installed a gate on the deck to keep the dogs in the yard. We also built the patio using Cambridge pavers. It’s ample space for entertaining. We added a gate…
This deck was smaller than the client liked and also just didn’t feel sturdy. It probably wasn’t going to fall down anytime soon but it was missing connections and had a bounce to it that was discomforting. The stairs were under-built but again, probably weren’t going to fall down but man did they feel shoddy….
This deck was a year in the making! Client contacted me over a year ago, we worked on a design, but tabled the project until this summer. A lot of Manchester is sand – this area is not. Excavation was DIFFICULT due to rocks and also due to heat and the shear number of holes…
Always fun to work with a neighbor! This home was only a block from my house, and now I know a neighbor much better. He had an aging deck and patio. The deck we could work with but the patio was too small and worn. We started with mulching the hillside. Then we built the…
A friend reached out because their deck was old and a previous contractor had tried to waterproof the underside (which is a garage) but had failed. We went with Trex Island Mist installed using GripRite Ninja clips. The all-black railing system is by Muzata and we used their fantastic new gate! Finally a cable rail…
We had completed a porch for his neighbor then came back over the winter and renovated his deck. New decking, new stairs, sleek new railings. And here are the results:
Beautiful backyard gets an upgraded deck. We also fixed a few things. The existing deck had been improperly flashed to the newer 3-season room. There had been significant water intrusion into the framing. We opened it up, replaced rot, built a new deck with proper flashing, and added a waterproof trough, gutter, and downspout system…
We love referrals! In this case, the son-in-law of a client we’ve built two projects for gave us a call. He wanted to do something fun in his backyard; create a level dining space and integrate a firepit since he loves having backyard fires. He absolutely loved the first design concept. He said “I want…
We worked with this client who had started the project, bought all the materials, but realized he did not have all the best tools to ensure the project turns as great as he had hoped. We stepped in, squared up the excavation, brought in some more sand, used our professional tools, end delivered an excellent…
This was a pleasure to build for friends of ours and they had us over for dinner afterward! This project included a new deck and roof (deck+roof=porch). However, before we could even think about building, we had to get a variance for the build due to the proximity of the road (someone built a road…
