A large rear deck on Old Boston Road paired with a custom sliding glass door installation that opens the kitchen directly onto the new outdoor living space. One scope, two trades, one mobilization.
The Ask
Build us a deck big enough to actually entertain on. While you're here, replace the sliding door so the inside-to-outside flow finally works. Communicate clearly, run it tight.
The Design
Composite decking specified for low maintenance and a 30-year service life, with a clean handrail profile that doesn't fight the line of the house. The new sliding glass door — a wider, taller unit than the original — was framed in to align with the deck height for a step-free transition. Posts and footers engineered to meet the slope of the lot.
The Build
Five weeks. Engineered footers below frost line, ledger flashed and lag-bolted to spec, joists at 12" on-center for the composite surface. The sliding door swap required reframing the rough opening, re-flashing the head, and matching the existing siding line. Nick and Reese ran the install — same crew on site every day, start to finish.

The moment it came together.
Details, from every angle.
“An outdoor living space that finally connects the kitchen to the back yard the way the family always wanted it to. Composite that holds up, a sliding door that does its job, and a clean line where the inside meets the outside.”
