Cable Rail Deck Renovation
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:
New Entry with Granite Features
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:…

Big Backyard Remodel
The client and I worked together on a design, but then the pool he had wanted wasn’t available! We had to make serious changes but in the end it came out great. The pool was installed by others, but we designed the rest. We also worked with a plumber and electrician to underground the utilities…
Small Deck, Big Space, and a Shed!
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…
Dining Patio and Grill Deck
This client wanted living space but didn’t have room for much more deck. He also wanted his grill closer to his kitchen. We solved this by expanding his deck with a perfect space for a grill and then building a new patio space. We also planted (more coming in Spring) and added landscape lighting. We…
Balcony Over a Pond
What a beautiful home on a serene pond. Unfortunately, the balcony wasn’t built well and had rotted out, leading to a dangerous railing situation. We worked with the client to pick a railing system that matched the metal of their windows and used a stained mahogany wood for the deck and drink-rail.
Classic Composite
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.
Cable and Lights
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…
Cable Railing Maintenance & Care
Cable railing is one of our favorite types of railing to install. In the right setting, cable railing can emphasize a beautiful view with very little interruption. It is also an excellent low maintenance railing option for decks. This is because cable railing is not susceptible to rot or discoloration like wood railing. But this…
Epic Deck in the Trees
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+…
