To say that we didn’t start with much here was an overstatement. Multiple previous owners managed to pile on “features” (we use the term loosely) to the point that this deck was a disaster. At some point, a room coming off the basement was built under the old deck and the deck was leaking so we had to work around the room and keep it watertight. In the end, we came up with a functional deck design with a better design that moved the stairs to the side. A large, engineered beam was utilized to eliminate support posts under the deck to keep the view to the yard open.
Double-Decker Up High
This client was referred to us by his neighbor who had us build a relatively simple deck. Before arriving, he warned us that his deck was high up and he wasn’t kidding. The upper deck is 26’ above the ground below it but the grade falls away making it feel like you...
