Your deck is more than just an outdoor space – it’s an extension of your home, a place for relaxation, entertainment, and enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. But even the sturdiest decks have a lifespan. Over time, exposure to the elements, wear and tear, and the passing years can take their toll. Not only can an old deck look unsightly, it can also be dangerous and unfit for use. Signs of structural issues include loose wobbly railing, soft or rotting wood, and cracks and splits in the beams, joists, or ledgers. A new deck may also be necessary when you spot discoloration, moss growth, or areas where the wood feels spongy.
Homeowners in Eldersburg, Maryland reached out to Fence & Deck Connection for help redesigning their existing unsafe and unsightly deck using long-lasting composite decking. With the help of Project Consultant Chad Costello and our amazingly talented installation crew, our clients now have a timeless TimberTech composite deck that will last for decades to come!
BEFORE:
We first removed and hauled away 276 feet of the existing wooden deck, railing, and steps, as well as the footer concrete pads. We then installed a new, to-code pressure treated wood frame that supports 266 sq. ft. of TimberTech Edge Prime+ Sea Salt decking with a matching seam board. Sea Salt Gray is one of our popular stock deck boards — a medium gray with cool and warm undertones to create a versatile, gently weathered wood look.
The TimberTech Prime+ Collection delivers capped composite deck boards with subtle nuances of color for an attractive real wood aesthetic. No sanding, staining or sealing is required with maintenance-friendly composite decking! Additionally, this type of decking features a 100% polymer, 3-sided cap that extends inside the grooves of grooved-shoulder boards for enhanced protection against moisture.
White vinyl Washington-style railing with standard white square balusters safely encloses the new space, and white vinyl fascia board wraps the sides of the deck for a clean polished look. A total of ten “picture-framed” steps in Sea Salt Gray lead down to a small concrete pad in the backyard.
