The homeowners just outside of Halifax in Lucasville, Nova Scotia, wanted to upgrade their backyard living area. Private woodland surrounds the property and they wanted to get out and enjoy their yard as much as possible. The original builder-box wood deck was removed and the replaced with a multi-level entertainment area. The new deck incorporates plenty of space for dining and grilling, with patio doors just off the kitchen. Silver Maple TimberTech composite decking is accented with black aluminum rail and glass inlays to maximize the view. Riser lights help guide you down to the new patio below. The small gravel area outside the basement door was excavated and replaced with Trevista pavers. The curved patio includes a future hot tub space and a comfortable lounging area in the sunshine. Stone steps lead you to the shaded entertainment area beneath the deck. To finish the space and mimic the front of the home, columns were wrapped in white vinyl and custom stone facing.

This project was a tribute to the vision and optimism of the owners. This once-glorious home was so far gone that many people would have taken the easy path -tear it down and start over. Instead, the family hired Old Saratoga Restorations to save every original bit of material that could be salvaged and rebuild the home to its previous grandeur. OSR gutted the interior and reinvented it based on the archaeological evidence for this home restoration. They added a new kitchen and bathrooms with high-end fixtures, custom-cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances. Outside, everything from the siding and trim to the dilapidated cupola on top needed to be replaced with duplicates.
