A redecking in Lexington, SC, worthy of the beautiful views on Lake Murray

Our recent redecking project on Lake Murray in Lexington, SC.

One of our recently completed projects takes us to lovely Lake Murray in Lexington, SC. These homeowners not only have a stunning home, they also have the view to go along with it. Their large deck and covered porch spans almost the entire rear of their home and offers views of the lake. These homeowners contacted Archadeck of Central SC to upgrade their aging wooden deck with low-maintenance decking material. Their goal was to have an outdoor living space that not only looked elegant but could afford them more time for enjoyment rather than the chore of maintaining it.

Before: This image shows the tired wooden deck prior to beginning the redecking.

The homeowners chose beautiful AZEK PVC decking in Brownstone for the redecking project. AZEK decking boards are engineered to withstand the everyday accidents that can happen on a deck. This material resists spilled wine, fruit punch, and hamburger grease and is ultra stain resistant. AZEK decking boards are scratch-resistant so there is no worry about marks from patio furniture or pets. In addition, this material is impervious to mold, mildew, and insects providing the perfect setting for carefree outdoor living.

After: Here is an image of that same area after we completed redecking with AZEK.

In order to accommodate the change from a pressure treated wood surface to synthetic, Archadeck of Central SC added supports to handle characteristics of the new decking. Often, low-maintenance decking boards are installed using hidden fasteners, as well, which requires additional amendments be made to the structure of the deck to ensure there is ample structural reinforcement for proper installation.

This project also included making some changes to the footprint of the existing deck and covered porch for both cosmetic and functional reasons. Since the home’s facade is stucco, our redecking experts carefully cut around the areas of the new deck that make contact with the home. We did this to ensure the integrity of the stucco as well as that of the decking boards. Instead of installing the new decking boards in a traditional pattern, we installed them on a diagonal with a parting board to create visual interest. The final touch to the project was the addition of low-voltage deck lighting on the risers to enhance safety and promote ambiance when the homeowners are enjoying the deck in the evening.

The homeowners chose PVC decking in Brownstone, from the Harvest Collection by AZEK.

The homeowners couldn’t be more pleased with the redecking project. They are looking forward to enjoying the benefits of outdoor living for many years to come with less focus on maintenance and more on enjoying the lovely view from their deck and covered porch.
