Our Approach

We tackled the project in phases over four weeks, handling every detail from demolition to finish:

  • Carefully demolished the old wooden deck, removing all debris

  • Rebuilt the deck framing to meet current code and support composite materials

  • Adjusted for irregular angles and uneven terrain to ensure a safe, level deck

  • Installed Trex composite decking for durability and low maintenance

  • Finished with attention to details including railings, stairs, and trim

Why It Matters

Replacing old wood with composite decking isn’t just about looks...it’s about safety, longevity, and reducing maintenance headaches. Composite decking resists rot, fading, and warping, so homeowners can enjoy their outdoor space without constant repairs or staining.
