This old 12×14 wood deck was badly in need of a replacement, and the homeowner wished to have something that did not require refinishing or any intense upkeep. The solution was to frame in a new solid treated wood structure (2×8 joists to replace the bouncy 2×6 joists) and top it off with UltraDeck Fusion® 2.0 low maintenance composite decking (color Rosewood). UltraDeck Fusion® 2.0 features a deep, rich, and consistent color with a plain-sawn woodgrain texture that is fade, slip, scratch, and stain resistant. The low sheen appearance of the decking offers a real wood visual appearance to every deck board. The product is eco-friendly, sustainable, made from 100% recycled wood and high-quality resins, and it is backed by Ultradeck’s limited 25 year warranty. The finished look is great, especially with the use of hidden fasteners. The rails are Fypon® QuickRail® Premium 36″ white synthetic with square spindles, backed by a lifetime warranty. They never require paint or stain! Finally, the old stone landscaping was removed, along with 4″ of topsoil to make way for the concrete pad extension. This created a nice smooth transition from the deck to the yard and around the side of the house. All-in-all, this homeowner can throw away the paint brushes and now spend more time enjoying the deck rather than maintaining. Can I help improve YOUR home? Estimates are always free: 419-212-3200.
