Another contractor started this project... I was hired to make it right.
This composite deck had major installation issues that affected both the appearance and the structural integrity of the deck.
Here's what was required to correct it:
✔️ Removed and reinstalled the composite decking and fascia
✔️ Corrected framing issues and leveled the deck (it was 1" out of level in just 4 feet)
✔️ Replaced improperly installed vinyl columns with pressure-treated 4x4 posts wrapped with Kleer PVC wrap for a solid structural connection and finished look.
✔️ Relocated the posts so they lined up correctly over the supporting beam
✔️ Installed new TimberTech railing to accommodate the deck's unique angles
✔️ Furred out portions of the framing so the decking and railing system could be installed properly
✔️ Re-cut and installed clean, tight fascia and decking miters
✔️ Reinstalled the decking with properly installed plugs for a clean, finished appearance
One of the biggest concerns was that the original railing posts were not properly anchored into the deck framing, which is critical for a safe, sturdy railing system.
Composite decking and railing systems require careful planning, proper framing, and attention to detail. When those steps are skipped, the result can be uneven surfaces, poor fit and finish, and potential safety concerns.
The homeowner now has a deck that is level, structurally sound, and finished the way it should have been the first time.
If you're planning a new deck or have concerns about an existing one, I'd be happy to take a look.
