This deck was one family gathering away from disaster
Raritan Township, NJ
Project Photos
We were hired to build a deck in Raritan Township, NJ. The homeowner wanted a safe spot for family gatherings. The old deck just wasn't going to cut it.
The Challenge
The previous deck was in bad shape. It didn’t feel safe, and we knew we had to make it dependable for family use.
The Solution
We put together a new deck that should hold up well for get-togethers. We made sure to use joist tape over the joists and added flashing at the ledger board where the deck meets the house.
Materials Used
Trex composite deck boards Railings Stairs Pressure-treated framing Joist tape Ledger board flashing
