Deck Features

Deck Upgrades & Enhancements

Enhance your deck with custom features for added style, comfort, and functionality.

Stair configuration

We offer and design any style of stair configuration to fit your needs and style. Stairs are not meant to be a hassle to go up and down, but are supposed to be easy and comfortable. Adding landings help with relocating stairs or changing direction to add more functional space for the yard.

Multi tone decks

We love using accenting deck colors to further enhance a decks look. We can introduce new colors on the border, accenting inlays, or on the side of the deck fascia. The best part is that it typically does not cost any extra!

We love incorporating deck skirting which covers the sides of the deck. This helps with keeping animals out, creating a beautiful looking exterior of the deck, and allows for proper ventilation. We love coming up with new skirting ideas that haven’t been explored before.

We can customize and design any style of bench. This may be a simple straight bench for additional seating or even a curved bench which can curve with the contour of a curved deck. We offer backing on the benches as well.

We can create any style privacy wall to enhance your outdoor living on a private deck.

Frame wrapping

We oftenly wrap frames to match the overall look of a deck and to enhance the frame longevity. With high decks, we can enhance the posts, beams by wrapping them in custom pvc versawraps and pvc. For low decks we can incorporate any style skirting to create a unique design and functionality.

Drainage systems

We offer deck drainage for all high decks that need a clean and dry space below. We use many systems including Trex rainescape, zip up, Dexerdry, and this all depends on deck overall situation.

Using matching material, we can custom build any planter style to enhance the look of your deck and functionality of your plants or garden side deck.
