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…
Although we love stonework, this stone entry had irregular rises on the steps. Irregular rises are an easy way to trip up a guests. It was also so difficult to get snow and ice off of. So, our client opted for new composite decking for the new stoop, plus we added granite! The finished product:…
On this project we were working with existing framing but added a lot. Let’s look at the details: Slide to see the before and after! The finished product:
A small backyard in Manchester with 40 years of disuse.Transformed. We took down a medium-sized multi-trunk maple. The largest we’ve taken down to date. Took a couple days to process. We used the woodchips for the forest bed. The rest of the project entailed brush clearing, concrete break-up, grading, and of course, nice planting beds…

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 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!
