An aging elevated deck with serious support and stair-safety concerns was fully removed and rebuilt with pressure-treated framing, decking, stairs, and a lower-maintenance railing system using black face-mount metal balusters.
Project Overview
Decker fully removed the old deck and built a new elevated pressure-treated deck in its place. The rebuild included a safer new stair system and concrete landing, a stronger support structure with 6x6 posts and properly connected beam and flashed ledger framing, and pressure-treated decking and rails. Black face-mount metal balusters complete the railing system and make maintenance easier.

What We Had to Solve
The existing stair assembly had already failed while the homeowner was on it, causing a minor injury and making replacement urgent. The old deck also showed structural concerns, including a crooked, leaning support beam and inadequate 4x4 support posts.
Some siding replacement was needed near the ledger area before the new deck connection was completed.
The rebuild replaced the old support system with pressure-treated framing, 6x6 posts, a properly connected beam and flashed ledger system, and a new stair assembly with a concrete landing.
