If you’re looking to invest in a larger outdoor space than your current cement or paver patio, you may have weighed the pros and cons of expanding your patio, or building a brand new deck. While there are many factors to take into consideration, there are definitely some major pros about choosing to install a deck. Patios are generally less expensive than decks, but the ROI on a new deck addition runs much greater than one on a patio. Since a patio’s surface is exposed to harsh weather, it can be stained with mud, mildew and other natural stains such as leaves, unlike composite decking materials, like TimberTech!
Brian Hannon, one of Fence & Deck Connection’s talented Sales Consultants, worked with homeowners in Annapolis, Maryland to reimagine their outdoor space. By transforming the walk out concrete patio into an actual raised deck, our Anne Arundel County customers are able to have a more cohesive relaxing, dining, and entertaining space directly outside their door!
Before:
We first removed the existing concrete patio slab before installing a frame and 168 sq. ft. of TimberTech Edge Prime+ composite decking in the Dark Cocoa hue with a matching feature board. As one of our stock boards, TimberTech Edge Prime+ Dark Cocoa offers the simple, traditional wood look you love without the rigorous maintenance of wood. Featuring subtle color blending and a rift- and quarter-sawn straight grain pattern, the lighter weight scalloped profile premium polymer capped composite boards deliver real wood aesthetics you’ll never have to sand, stain, or seal. Dark Cocoa color boasts a warm brown shade, flecked with varied hues that give natural color dimension.
The new platform deck is enclosed by white vinyl Washington-style railing with black round aluminum spindles and one matching step completes the project.
