AZEK Composite Deck Replacement for Long-Term Client
This project involved the replacement of an aging deck for a long-term client we have worked with for over 25 years. We chose AZEK composite materials for this iteration to ensure longevity, durability, and aesthetic appeal. The new deck enhances the home’s outdoor living space and features integrated lighting for an elegant nighttime ambiance.
Challenges
and Solutions
The project presented several challenges, including approximately 20 different elevation changes requiring careful planning and execution to ensure a smooth and cohesive design.
The second-story balcony, redone as part of this project, was built over a watertight area, providing additional protection and durability.
The client’s property features extensive, beautiful landscaping we needed to protect during the project. We completed the deck replacement without disturbing the surrounding greenery by taking extra precautions and working meticulously.
Long-Term Client Collaboration
Having worked with this client for 25 years, this project continues a long-standing relationship. The previous phase of work, completed over a decade ago, included building a patio that remains in excellent condition. This history of collaboration allowed us to seamlessly integrate the new deck with the existing patio and outdoor design.
Final Outcome
The new AZEK composite deck, with its numerous elevations and second-story balcony, has transformed the client’s outdoor space into a long-lasting, visually stunning area for relaxation and entertainment. The watertight construction and built-in lighting ensure the deck is functional and beautiful, day or night. This project is a testament to the quality of materials and craftsmanship that stand the test of time, providing clients with a durable, low-maintenance outdoor area they can enjoy for years.
