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…
This deck was smaller than the client liked and also just didn’t feel sturdy. It probably wasn’t going to fall down anytime soon but it was missing connections and had a bounce to it that was discomforting. The stairs were under-built but again, probably weren’t going to fall down but man did they feel shoddy….
This deck was a year in the making! Client contacted me over a year ago, we worked on a design, but tabled the project until this summer. A lot of Manchester is sand – this area is not. Excavation was DIFFICULT due to rocks and also due to heat and the shear number of holes…
A friend reached out because their deck was old and a previous contractor had tried to waterproof the underside (which is a garage) but had failed. We went with Trex Island Mist installed using GripRite Ninja clips. The all-black railing system is by Muzata and we used their fantastic new gate! Finally a cable rail…
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:
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:
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:
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.
