It is always such a pleasure to build with wood. One of the best aspects is the ability to shape, to correct, to combine. Wood comes together beautifully. One thing we do with wood often is introduce patterns. Sometimes its numbers, shapes, sizes… but repeating the pattern really helps bring it all together.
This client was after a modern look and so we suggested black posts to compliment his black awning, with cable rail between. We built a new stoop with two staircases (previous was one sided) and installed the beautiful cable rail system.
This project has a classic look combined with drink rails and sleek lighting. The design of this deck was very efficient. At 12′ x 24′ it is a decent size, but also used materials very efficiently. Our waste on this job was measured in inches.
We started with an existing deck of ample size. We had some changes in mind but they didn’t fit the budget, so we kept the existing structure. Thankfully the foundations were good, and the structure was to code except for a few joists that were spanning a bit too far. We fixed that (as well…
This project came out great! We started with an old deck that had some issues. It had been expanded at one time and built-out around a hot tub. Our task was to design a new deck using most of the old structure. We made a ton of repairs and upgrades and in the end, we…
This project was over a year in the making. Our client had just purchased a unique home with a rotten, poorly built, roof-top deck. It was an odd deck for certain, not an after-thought, but not well planned (at least not made to last), and definitely in a unique location on top of a 3+…
This project created three spaces: The entry area with well-lit steps that come on every evening. There is handrail for the steps but no guardrails on the side. This was a choice to keep it open and accessible. The main deck which has integrated lighting controlled by remote, as well as two gates to keep…
This client wanted a fun pool experience. So we lit it up!
The owners wanted a deck that created a comfortable flow from their home to their yard. We focused on openness in the design, only using railing on one side to keep the deck fully engaged with the yard. Since the deck height was less than a couple feet from the ground, the railing served more…
This hardwood deck is made up of ipe boards in varying applications to give it a sleek look. The ipe deck is a clean rectangle with horizontal railing slats that allow enough space to view the forest behind. Just beyond the forest are little creeks, small bridges, and an old tree house, making the deck…
This garapa deck takes full advantage of the lovely views. We opened up the kitchen to an inviting outdoor deck space overlooking the salt marsh. Although the deck’s size is modest (perfectly fitting the home and backyard), there were some large obstacles to completing this project, even before we started the construction*. There were moments…
Seasons in New Hampshire pose a challenge for outdoor builders like us, but by planning projects well we don’t have to stop construction. For this ipe deck we installed footings in the fall just before the ground froze. With the footings in place and the materials on site, we were able to return a few…
