Back In St. Charles For A New Outdoor Deck

We’ve been invited back to St. Charles to work at this gorgeous property once again. You may recall that last year we spent a few months gutting and renovating over fifty percent of the interior of this fifties ranch to make a new master bedroom suite. Evidently the owners really liked what we did, because they asked us to come back this summer and make a new outdoor living space for them.
We started by cutting in two new windows and a patio door into the brick exterior of their home so they will be able to take advantage of the great new view we will be creating. As you can see, our masons and to disassemble most of this wall to bring these views into the home, but it will be well worth the work!
The main scope of the project is to take a fifty year old concrete patio (with a pool buried somewhere underneath it) and turn it into a great new maintenance free deck with storage space underneath. The concrete is crumbling from fifty years of weather and it will be good to remove it and make something newer, safer and much more useable.
The new deck will be made with Azek decking (one of our favorites). It will have two levels, built-in benches, hidden lighting and stainless steel railings. It’s been a shame to waste these great backyard views. A new deck will be just the thing to make backyard lounging a great pastime!
