Completed
The existing deck had reached the end of its life. Boards were soft, the structure had movement in it, and patching would only have bought another season.
A deck repair service covers replacing damaged boards, tightening fasteners, inspecting joists and correcting structural issues, and regular inspections catch soft spots or rotted wood early, especially after harsh winters or wet springs. On this one the inspection said rebuild rather than repair.
Planning around how the space is actually used
Before any deck goes in we ask how the space needs to function. Entertaining, relaxing, or both. We look at the orientation for sunlight, the material the homeowner prefers, and whether the property needs permits or approvals. That conversation is what sets the footprint and the height, not a catalogue.
Built in pressure treated lumber
The rebuild is pressure treated throughout, with wide steps down to the lawn and black balusters set into a wood frame. Cedar and composite are both options we offer, and the choice comes down to how the deck will be maintained and what it needs to sit next to.
Working to the budget that existed
The brief came with a number attached, and the build was scoped to it. That is usually a question of where the money goes rather than what gets left out, and it is worth having early.



“We had a unique situation with a very large and very deteriorated deck. They were able to work within our budget and did a beautiful job.”
