About the Project

Composite Deck Upgrade in Chalfont, PA

For this project in Chalfont, Pennsylvania, we upgraded an existing composite deck to improve its safety, functionality, and overall appearance. The project included structural framing modifications, customer-supplied composite decking installation, new vinyl railings, and cosmetic improvements to the exposed foundation, resulting in a durable and code-compliant outdoor living space.

Deck Modifications and Structural Improvements

The project began by modifying the existing composite deck to accommodate new decking materials and improve the overall layout.

Our team completed several structural upgrades, including:

  • Installation of new framing to properly support the deck boards
  • Installation of customer-supplied composite deck boards
  • New deck skirting around the underside of the deck
  • Modification of the bottom stair to create a symmetrical appearance
  • Installation of a new transition board where the deck meets the entry door

These improvements provide a stronger foundation while creating a cleaner, more polished finished look.

Concrete Footing Improvements

To enhance the appearance beneath the deck, we removed the exposed cardboard concrete form tubes from the existing footings.

The visible concrete footers and foundation were then prepared and painted using customer-supplied paint, creating a cleaner and more finished appearance beneath the deck.

New Vinyl Railing System

To improve safety and meet current building standards, we installed a new vinyl railing system along the open sides of the deck.

The installation included:

  • White vinyl railing system
  • Black aluminum balusters
  • Five structural 4×4 support posts
  • Vinyl post sleeves
  • Decorative post caps and bases
  • Heavy-duty mounting hardware

Each railing section was carefully installed, leveled, and securely fastened to provide a safe, durable, and attractive safety barrier.
