This deck restoration is a great example of how we approach deck repairs and improvements. The homeowner’s deck had seen better days; the deck needed to be reframed, resecured in some areas, and ultimately reinspected by the town. Years out in Westchester’s four seasons had taken a toll, and the homeowner hired us to bring this deck back to its original functionality and then make improvements to modernize it, increase its usable size, and improve its fuctionality for modern outdoor living.
Large decking projects like this one need to be broken down into clear stages. First, we need to stabilize the structure and book time with the town inspector to have the permits cleared; with that done, we are now preparing to add modern features to the deck that will not only add to its overall safety but boost its appeal. Outdoor living today is a much different idea than it was ten or fifteen years ago. The way we use our decks and outdoor spaces has really changed, and so has what homeowners are looking for from their decks.
The first stage of this project was all about ensuring the deck’s structural integrity. We began with a detailed inspection to assess the condition of the existing framing. Years of exposure to snow, rain, and humidity had caused certain areas to weaken, but we found portions of the structure that could still be salvaged.
Our team reinforced the framing with high-quality materials to extend its lifespan and ensure it met safety standards. Any compromised components were repaired or replaced, and the entire structure was brought up to code. After completing this phase, the deck’s framing passed inspection by the Town of Bronxville, giving us the green light to proceed with the next steps.
This foundational work is critical in any deck restoration project. Without a stable base, no amount of aesthetic upgrades or added features can truly transform a space. By prioritizing safety and durability, we’ve set this deck up for success in the years to come.
Replacing Damaged Deck Sections
Some parts of the deck were too far gone to repair. These areas will be replaced with durable, weather-resistant materials that can stand up to the fluctuating temperatures and precipitation common in Westchester County.
Modernizing the Design
To improve both functionality and appearance, we’ll be installing new railings and upgraded stairs. These modern features will enhance safety while giving the deck a fresh, updated look.
Expanding Usability
One of the most exciting aspects of this project is the planned platform extension. This addition will create more usable space, making the deck ideal for everything from family gatherings to quiet mornings with a cup of coffee.
Decks in Westchester County must endure some of the harshest weather conditions. From freezing winters to hot, humid summers, outdoor structures are constantly exposed to elements that can cause wear and tear over time.
This Bronxville deck was no exception. Years of snow, rain, and sun had taken their toll, leaving it weathered and in need of significant attention. These conditions make it essential to use materials and construction techniques that are built to last.
Pedro Ormeno, our lead contractor, explains:
“Decks in this region face a lot of challenges from the weather. That’s why it’s so important to focus on the right materials and solid craftsmanship. Our goal is to create outdoor spaces that are not only beautiful but also durable enough to handle Westchester’s climate.”
By addressing these challenges head-on, we’re ensuring that this deck won’t just look great—it will remain functional and safe for many years to come.
- Structural Replacements: Worn-out sections will be replaced with weather-resistant materials designed to handle the elements.
- Aesthetic Enhancements: Modern railings, updated stairs, and other design elements will bring the deck a fresh, stylish look.
- Space Expansion: A platform extension will create more room for outdoor living, making the deck more versatile and enjoyable.
