This was a fun project; not only does the deck look awesome, but we were invited to celebrate their new deck with them at an upcoming party! For this project we used Deckorators mineral fiber composite; the field and fascia is in Sierra color and the perimeter is Slate. This is my 3rd project with…
As with a lot of builds, this project started 8 months before we broke ground. We worked with the homeowners to come up with a design that updated their 1905 multi-generational home. This would be a huge upgrade from the 120 year old 5′ deep porches. And here are the results:
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 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…
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 gave this deck a fresh new look by installing new Trex composite boards and new vinyl railings. The framing was still in great shape, but as a standard practice we always add a protective strip of deck tape to the top of all joists. This membrane will help protect the wood framing from water…
This project was a complete deck replacement with a dry space below. The key project features are:
For this deck recover we used two different colored deck boards. At the stair treads and around the deck border we installed the darker color and in the middle we used a lighter gray. On the railing posts we installed caps with lighting. The post cap lighting offers a diffused illumination for the space. To…
The goal here was simple; build a larger deck and add a dried-in storage space below. The homeowners previous deck was 2/3 this size, which ended up being too small to really do anything on. With a tight budget, we were able to build this deck at 12′ x 12′. We found a decking material…
Helping people is a part of this business. In this case, this couple had bought this house with plans to age-in-place. However, their stoop had irregular steps, and their front patio was falling apart. Their new stoop has regular steps and the patio is smooth and usable! More photos:
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.
