Project Overview

Andrew’s deck and balcony were well-loved but showing their age.

The structure no longer felt safe, the materials had weathered significantly, and the design lacked the modern functionality he envisioned. He dreamed of a refreshed outdoor space that was stylish, low-maintenance, and seamlessly tied together the deck and balcony. Local Unlimited stepped in to make it happen, delivering a full transformation that exceeded Andrew’s expectations.

The Challenge

The existing deck and balcony required a complete rebuild to meet Andrew’s vision of a safe, durable, and visually cohesive outdoor area.

The original structure relied on aging footings, and the materials had deteriorated over time. We needed to retain and reinforce these footings to maintain structural integrity. Additionally, aligning the design of the deck with the balcony posed a unique challenge, requiring precise measurements and a coordinated approach to ensure a seamless and polished look.

The Project Required

✪ Inspecting and ensuring the integrity of the existing footings.

✪ Replacing all joists and posts to rebuild the structure.

✪ Installing PVC composite decking for both the deck and balcony.

✪ Adding powder-coated black aluminum railings for safety and aesthetics.

✪ Incorporating composite skirting and lattice for a polished finish.

✪ Adding a composite border accent along the deck perimeter.

✪ Reinforcing the balcony with a new footing and structural post.

✪ Ensuring cohesive design between the deck and balcony.

Our Approach

To bring Andrew’s vision to life, we focused on creating a durable, stylish, and cohesive design. By reinforcing the structure and choosing premium materials, we ensured the deck and balcony would be both functional and visually appealing. Key elements included:

Structural Integrity

We began by inspecting the existing footings to determine their structural soundness. Once confirmed, we rebuilt the foundation with new joists and posts, ensuring a stable, long-lasting base to support the deck and balcony. Structural integrity was a top priority, as these elements were crucial to both safety and longevity.

Modern Materials

For the materials, we selected PVC composite decking for its durability and resistance to weathering and pests. To complement the sleek, modern aesthetic, we installed powder-coated black aluminum railings, which not only provided safety but also elevated the overall look of the space.

Custom Design Details

Design played an essential role in this transformation. Composite skirting and lattice were added to give the deck a polished and refined appearance, while a composite border accent along the perimeter added a touch of sophistication. These details brought a cohesive and finished look to the project.

Balcony Integration

To tie the balcony into the design seamlessly, we matched the composite decking and railings to those of the deck. A new structural post was installed to reinforce the balcony, ensuring stability and safety. This integration created a unified aesthetic that tied both outdoor spaces together beautifully.

The Result

The completed deck and balcony are now a perfect blend of elegance and functionality. Andrew was thrilled with the sleek, low-maintenance design made possible by PVC composite materials and powder-coated black aluminum railings.

The deck has become a welcoming hub for outdoor gatherings, while the balcony offers a tranquil space for relaxation. Key features like composite lattice and a border accent along the deck’s perimeter elevate the aesthetic. The cohesive design ensured the deck and balcony complement each other beautifully. Andrew and his family now enjoy a safe, durable outdoor space that’s built to last.

Key outcomes:

Enhanced Durability: The new structure and materials ensure longevity and resistance to wear.

Seamless Design: A unified aesthetic ties the deck and balcony together beautifully.

Low Maintenance: PVC composite materials eliminate the need for regular upkeep.

Improved Functionality: New stairs, secure railings, and reinforced posts make the space safer and more practical for daily use.

"the balcony design is perfect—it ties into the deck so seamlessly, and the composite materials mean no more maintenance headaches."
