For this Columbia homeowner, years of weather exposure had taken a toll on the existing elevated wood deck. The decking boards showed significant wear, discoloration, and deterioration, while several structural components required attention to ensure long-term safety and performance.
The homeowners wanted a solution that would eliminate ongoing maintenance while dramatically improving the appearance and functionality of their outdoor living area.
Before construction began, our team conducted a thorough inspection of the elevated structure.
The existing deck featured aging wood decking, weathered railings, and multiple areas showing signs of deterioration from years of exposure to moisture, sunlight, and seasonal temperature changes.
Our goal was to preserve the sound structural components while replacing the elements that had reached the end of their service life.
The original deck boards and railing components were carefully removed to prepare the structure for its transformation.
This phase allowed our team to inspect framing members, identify areas requiring repair, and ensure the deck would provide a solid foundation for the new composite surface system.
Any compromised materials were replaced as needed before installation of the new decking began.
To provide lasting beauty and durability, the homeowners selected a premium composite decking system.
Unlike traditional wood decking, composite materials resist:
The new deck surface immediately modernized the appearance of the outdoor space while providing a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution.
One of the most dramatic improvements came from the installation of the new railing system.
The outdated wood railings were replaced with elegant dark aluminum balusters and composite posts, creating a cleaner, more contemporary look while improving safety and visibility.
The completed project completely transformed the appearance of the backyard.
What was once a weathered and aging wood deck is now a beautiful composite outdoor living space that complements the home’s architecture while providing years of maintenance-free enjoyment.
The upgraded deck offers a cleaner appearance, improved safety, and significantly reduced upkeep for the homeowners.
