Overlooking Mattapoisett Harbor, these coastal homeowners wanted a deck that was both beautiful and durable. This multi-level deck flows naturally down the property and helps define specific areas; the upper level accommodates a dinner table and sectional while the lower level features a bar, conversation area, hammock, and built-in hot tub! They chose TimberTech AZEK decking from the Vintage Collection in the classic color, Coastline. This designer series has a low-gloss finish for a natural, authentic wood look. Engineered for performance, this rot, fade, scratch, dent, and mold resistant capped polymer decking comes is a gorgeous collection of colors to suit your personal style. Illuminated rail caps and stairs provide both evening ambiance and safety. Cable rails facing the ocean maximize the view and a PVC vertical skirt around the base of the deck is provide a maintenance-free, clean finish.

From the very beginning, the goal and purpose of this master bathroom remodel was to improve functionality, specifically for future days when wheelchair access may become necessary on a regular basis.
The double bowl vanity with roll under access at one end means he can be at the sink with ease, and she doesn't sacrifice any valuable storage space. Zero barrier entry to shower with custom bench is really the spa look we are all looking for - large shower space with a seating option and hand held spray. The bathroom is large enough for a soaking tub and the minimal decking allows for easier maneuvering in and out. All water controls are at accessible height and location, as are the grab bars for optimal safety.

This custom elevated deck was designed to create a durable, low-maintenance outdoor living area that seamlessly extends the home into the backyard. Constructed with pressure-treated structural lumber, reinforced framing, and code-compliant railings, the build prioritizes safety, longevity, and everyday usability.
Wide stairs provide comfortable access, while the generous platform accommodates outdoor furniture, grilling, and entertaining. The elevated design improves sightlines, airflow, and overall functionality of the outdoor space.
Completed with precise craftsmanship and clean detailing, this deck delivers a strong, attractive structure built to withstand the elements while significantly enhancing the home’s usability, curb appeal, and resale value.

This Kirkland, WA deck resurfacing and repair project involved extensive structural upgrades and a complete transformation of the deck's appearance while preserving the existing framework where possible.
The scope included removing an aging hot tub, demolishing an existing half wall, and replacing it with a modern aluminum cable railing system to improve views and safety. Areas of siding affected by the half wall were repaired and restored to create a clean, finished appearance.
Due to moisture-related wear, 12 deck joists and their hangers were replaced as part of the structural rehabilitation. The deck, which features approximately 300 square feet of elevated surface reaching nearly 16 feet above grade, required careful material handling and installation due to steep terrain and limited side-yard access.
The existing decking was replaced with premium TimberTech Terrain composite decking in Vintage Weathered Teak, creating a low-maintenance outdoor living space with the warmth and character of natural wood. New picture-framed borders and finishing details enhanced the overall appearance, while strategic fascia installation was completed on visible interior step-down areas.
The result is a safer, stronger, and more visually appealing deck that maximizes the property's views while providing years of low-maintenance performance.

When our clients purchased this home, their main focus was updating both the primary and guest bathrooms while adjusting the layout to be more functional on the second floor.
They also wanted to make some other improvements to include adding a runner to the staircase for increased safety and refinishing all of the floors in the home.
We brought some new life to the powder room on the first floor with a fun wallpaper and a sink that has an integral backsplash. Upstairs we made the layouts much more functional by making a few slight changes that had a very large impact.

We increased safety and improved usage in the deep back yard by carving out a path following the natural swaleway. Incorporating the same honeycomb boulders and blackstar gravel used throughout the property, the home how has a beautiful path leading down to the greenbelt beyond the gate. The area has also been cleared for future wildflower seeding and future utilization of the back acreage.

This Capitol Hill remodeling project in Seattle improved the home’s indoor-outdoor connection by expanding the front deck, adding stairs and safety rail, and adding new windows to bring in more natural light. A unique custom door, crafted by the H&H woodshop in Portland and designed by project architects Ben Smith and Tom Mulica of Domestic Architecture, connects the remodeled interior living space to the newly expanded deck. The door combines two elements: a sliding pocket door and an inswing door. New bookshelves and a refaced fireplace in the study complete the project.

This is an attractive and affordable exterior home improvement to increase the home's value, energy efficiency, safety and conveniences. | Project Credits: ProLift Garage Doors of St. Louis
