Custom decks
From aging deck to finished outdoor space
The old backyard deck was removed and rebuilt as a raised outdoor living area tied directly to the home. The finished space adds updated railing, new stair access, stone-look skirting, and a custom compass-style inlay in the deck surface.

Project scope
What changed
The sequence shows the original conditions, the work that changed, and the finished details that make the space feel complete.
Built the new raised deck structure along the rear of the home.
Added a finished railing system with dark balusters and a cleaner connection to the house.
Finished the exterior face with a stone-look base below the deck.
Added a custom compass-style deck-board inlay detail as a focal point in the finished surface.
Project challenge
What needed to change
The original deck was visually dated and showed wear across the walking surface, stairs, railing, and lower skirting. The project needed to make the same backyard entry feel more finished without losing the practical connection from the sliding doors to the yard.
How S & B Construction and Remodeling handled it
How the finished space came together
The team rebuilt the deck area with a fresh raised platform, updated railings, new stair access, a cleaner stone-look base treatment, and a decorative inlay that gives the finished deck a more intentional custom look.
