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…
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.
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…
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…
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+…
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…
The request was for a new hang-out space… in the front yard! There were some unique challenges to overcome; the space wasn’t square, there is a huge tree nearby, and whatever we built would be right on the property line. We came back with a design for a paver patio, a new stoop, and a…
