Our Shawnee Team Completed a Resurface to Revitalize This Kansas City Deck
With over 20 years of experience, Xtreme Exteriors specializes in transforming home exteriors. When planning a deck construction project, in many cases resurfacing can be a great option, not just for aesthetic appeal but for long-term durability and ease of maintenance. At XE, we are proud to offer a wide variety of deck solutions including rebuilds, new installations, and resurfacing. With every deck project we take on, we take the time to learn about our client’s unique needs and the vision they have for their new space. One such project we recently completed in North Kansas City exceeded our client’s expectations and created a space he and his family will enjoy for years to come.
Background and Client: Low-Maintenance Lifestyle
It’s a common challenge to maintain a traditional wood deck. Our client, a retired educator who enjoys traveling, had an eight-year-old pressure-treated wood deck that required annual staining, a task that had become increasingly tiresome. Despite its beauty, the deck’s requirement for annual staining was in direct conflict with our client’s desire for a carefree retirement. Additionally, the existing stairs were wobbly, posing a safety concern. Located in North Kansas City, this 16’x12’ deck became the ideal candidate for a transformation that promised ease without sacrificing aesthetics.
Process and Results: Efficiency and Expertise
After an initial consultation, it was clear that low-maintenance materials were the best option to match the client’s lifestyle. Under the leadership of the project manager, our aim began with a clear objective: to select materials that aligned with the client’s desire without compromising on the deck’s visual appeal. Below is a breakdown of the key steps:
- Material Selection: Our choice fell on TimberTech’s Legacy Collection composite decking in Pecan, noted for its resilience and ease of care.
- Preserved Framing: Since the existing framing was only a few years old and structurally sound, it was retained to optimize efficiency and minimize project costs.
- Staircase Reconstruction: To prioritize safety, we completely rebuilt the stairs, ensuring proper support and stability, and addressing the client’s initial concerns.
- Concealed Fasteners: The use of Camo concealed fasteners provided a clean and finished appearance, eliminating the visibility of screws on the composite decking.
The project was completed within a timeframe of only four days. The new deck not only eliminated the need for annual staining but also addressed safety concerns with the rebuilt stairs, creating a welcoming and worry-free outdoor space. Additionally, permit costs are included in our projects, ensuring a stress-free experience for our clients.
Upon completion, the client was provided with a deck that aligns with his lifestyle, requiring minimal maintenance and allowing more time for enjoyment. This transformation not only met the client’s expectations but also reaffirmed our reputation for delivering durable, high-quality outdoor living solutions.
