Berman Deck Addition Testimonial

The Berman's wanted create a space outside where they could enjoy their yard with friends and family and have easy access to their young children while they played in the back yard.

Although their back and side lawns had two level areas well suited for activity, it was a little difficult to access them from the central living areas of the house. The side and back yards were at different elevations, with a steep slope between them. The family had to go downstairs through the unfinished basement to access the back, or out the front door and around the house. This was especially challenging for this mother with three young and very active children. She needed to connect her kitchen to her children’s favorite play area.

The answer for this family was a deck and an additional exterior door. The deck was built at the level of the kitchen and side yard, with stairs to both the side and lower back yards. The additional exterior door allows the family to access the deck and yards from the kitchen. Now the mother can have peace of mind while her children play in the yard, and entertain friends and family on the deck with easy access to the kitchen.

The Berman's wanted the durability of pressure-treated framing and railing material and the ease of low maintenance associated with composite decking. The decking also serves as a cap on the rail system and will not splinter with age like a pressure-treated cap would.
