Conversion to composite deck for this lakefront property
Before
Our customer faced issues with their aging pressure-treated deck, including warping boards, splintering wood, and overall structural instability. The deck had become a safety concern and required constant maintenance to preserve its appearance and functionality.
Demolition of the Old Deck
We safely dismantled and removed the old deck, ensuring that all debris was disposed of responsibly. Our efficient process minimized disruption to the surrounding property, allowing us to move quickly to the next phase.

To ensure a strong foundation, we installed screw piles, which offer superior stability and durability compared to traditional concrete footings. This method also reduces the risk of shifting or settling over time, making it ideal for Nova Scotia’s varied soil conditions.
