Homeowners in Columbia, Maryland contacted Fence & Deck Connection looking for a bit of an outdoor makeover. Their existing wood deck was quite small, mismatched, worn and weathered, and did not offer the outdoor experience the home was designed to have. Tom Reese, one of\u00a0Fence & Deck Connection\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0knowledgeable\u00a0Sales Consultants<\/a>\u00a0worked with our clients to transform their outdoor space into one that requires far less maintenance and allows for maximum enjoyment! Composite decking is resistant to warping, rotting, staining, or fading. Plus, its quality low-maintenance material makes it easy to clean with just soap and water!<\/p>\n

We first removed and disposed of the existing 12\u00d716\u2032 wood decking materials, before constructing a new 16\u00d716\u2032 slightly raised deck using Trex Enhance composite decking in the Rocky Harbor hue. \u00a0A contemporary changing neutral, Rocky Harbor adds sandy undertones to a rustic slate grey, featuring a low-maintenance, wood-like grain pattern.\u00a0This hue belongs to Trex\u2019s Enhance collection, which offers an authentic wood-grain appearance with the durability of composite and the affordability of wood. Enhance decking boards are scalloped, making them as lightweight as lumber\u2014without the extra work. This long-lasting decking requires little upkeep and comes in seven colors.<\/p>\n

Tan Washington-style railing with black aluminum balusters safely enclose two of the deck sides, along with one set of steps leading down to the grassy backyard. To complete and hide the under deck area with a clean modern look, we installed tan fascia and tan vinyl skirting. The new deck completely transform the overall aesthetic of the home and backyard!<\/p>\n
