How it went

From two worn-out decks to two built to outlast them

The challenge

Aging frames on a sloped lot

Two elevated decks serving a townhome community had aged past dependable service. The lot slopes, which meant tall support posts and footings that had to be sized and set for the grade — not a flat-yard job. The homeowners' association needed both decks brought back to full strength and current code, without changing the footprint or the way residents get in and out.

The solution

Down to the footings, then rebuilt

We stripped each deck back to the footings and rebuilt it with all-new pressure-treated framing — posts, beams, joists and ledgers — tied together with corrosion-resistant Simpson Strong-Tie hardware and properly flashed where the ledger meets the building. Composite decking went down for a durable, low-maintenance surface that shrugs off Pacific Northwest weather, and the existing metal railings were cleaned and repainted to leave both decks clean and uniform.

The result

Two decks, good for the long haul

Two structurally sound, code-compliant decks built to outlast the ones they replaced — fresh composite surfaces, clean repainted railings, same footprint, same egress. Safe, low-maintenance outdoor space handed back to the community for both units.

Professional from the first estimate to the final walkthrough. The new composite decks look great and feel rock solid, and we haven't had a single concern since.

A small deck, rebuilt bigger — then a patio to match

Redmond, WA

A cramped 8×10 deck torn down and reimagined as a larger 12×14 — new frame, composite decking and railings, and a composite privacy screen for a corner that finally feels private. Six months later, they brought us back for a 1,000 sq ft tile patio.
