Building a Front Porch Deck in Cranford, NJ
Cranford, NJ
Project Photos
We just wrapped up a deck project in Cranford, NJ. We tore out the old wood deck and put in a new one to improve the front porch.
The Challenge
Taking out the old deck was tricky. We also had to get the area ready for the new build and give the siding a refresh.
The Solution
We replaced the old deck and put in new James Hardie Fiber cement siding on the top. We made sure to add proper ledger flashing where the deck meets the house.
Materials Used
We're using James Hardie Fiber cement siding for the top siding replacement. we installed trex deck boards and install new aluminum railings
