Hill and Harbor Construction completed a deck replacement in Duluth, MN, after the original deck and stairs leaned and became unsafe. The homeowners wanted a solid, low-maintenance deck with enough room to sit outside, share meals together, and enjoy their morning coffee. Seth Olson evaluated the structure and recommended a full rebuild because new construction would provide a safer, longer-lasting result than repairs.
The new Trex composite deck extends wider and deeper than the original, requiring the removal of a treehouse and several trees. Trex Enhance Naturals decking in Toasted Sand pairs with black Westbury Tuscany aluminum railing along the deck perimeter and the full staircase. The layout leaves room to pull chairs out from a table and walk freely between the house, seating area, and stairs.
The homeowners now have a safe, solid deck with comfortable space for outdoor dining, relaxing, and morning coffee. Composite decking and aluminum railing require little upkeep, so the homeowners can spend their time enjoying the space rather than maintaining it. The larger layout fits the property, improves how the homeowners use the backyard, and provides outdoor space they can enjoy for years.
