This homeowner wanted to modernize their 15-year-old deck with a fresh and classic wood look. We demolished the existing deck and built a new pressure-treated frame, but used OC Lumber for the stair stringers to enhance durability. The deck boards are ipe (a Brazilian hardwood) and the skirt surrounding the new deck was done in cedar. These railings are from TimberTech and feature lighting along the handrail and at the base of each post. What was previously a basic backyard deck is now a beautiful statement feature of this home and a relaxing place to spend summer days and evenings. 

We replaced this 20-year-old pressure-treated deck with new pressure-treated framing and mahogany decking. As you can see, this decking was in bad shape with peeling paint and moldy deck boards, but it was even worse underneath with joists and ledger boards rotted nearly all the way through! We recommended mahogany in this particular space because it can stay wet after rainstorms and is often shaded during the day. The strong mahogany wood will stand up well against the damp environment.
