What to do … what to do?
This Cat Mountain family had been enjoying a two-level deck for years; but sadly it was originally constructed from wood and was badly in need of repair.
Before.
After.
The solution? An extreme deck makeover for the better led by Jim Schallon at Archadeck of Austin.
A Total Two Level Deck Transformation Keeping The Original Spirit, But Elevating It To A Whole New Level
After the original structure was removed, our team went to work with an enhanced design, increasing the top deck in size for more space for morning coffee, leisure, and relaxation.
To create this reborn low maintenance double decker deck, we chose AZEK Harvest decking from the TimberTech family of low maintenance deck building materials.
Meticulously engineered to last for years, its composition is all-plastic PVC, and these resilient deck boards have a tough shell that is resistant to mold, spills, and fading. The natural woodgrain texture provides superior traction and a natural wood feel, and is available in Slate Gray, Brownstone, and Kona. For this installation, we chose a combination of Brownstone for the richer, warmer hues it possesses and Kona for its dark brown textured vibrancy.
From the lower deck, a glance up reveals that the upper deck frame is now painted and finished, yielding a luxuriously cohesive and clean look.
Surrounded In Basic Black For Simple Elegance And High Style
To clearly define its space – and to protect family and friends while enjoying this new outdoor living space – we enclosed the perimeter of both levels with Fortress aluminum railing in sand black – a classic favorite.

The Upper Deck Designed To Broadcast Stunning Views Of The Colorado River
Flowing on the western side of the Continental Divide, the Colorado River has been called the America Nile. Its 1,400 miles make it the fifth longest river in the United States. A magnificent natural wonder, the Colorado River flows right through the heart of Austin, Texas. Dammed in two different spots, it forms Lake Austin and Lady Bird Lake. It is by far the most prominent natural feature in the Texas capital. There is a plethora of ways to enjoy the lake and the stunning scenery that surrounds it – and this lucky family has a front row seat right outside their door.
