Monroy’s Carpenters, Inc., a trusted Boston-area specialist in deck building, siding, and home improvements, recently transformed a weathered outdoor space in Roslindale, MA. This project showcases our expertise in creating durable, stylish decks that enhance curb appeal and functionality for local homeowners. From demolition to final installation, we prioritize quality materials, safety, and customer satisfaction to deliver stunning results tailored to New England weather challenges.
Modern Composite Deck Installation
The completed deck is a sleek, low-maintenance upgrade featuring gray composite decking boards for superior weather resistance and a contemporary look. Black metal railings with horizontal balusters provide modern safety and unobstructed views, paired with matching gray steps leading to the white door. Clean white lattice skirting hides the understructure, while terracotta pots with greenery add a touch of nature. Extension cords and minor site cleanup remnants show the fresh finish, ready for enjoyment. This design boosts property value by up to 80% ROI, ideal for Roslindale families seeking outdoor entertaining spaces.
Professional Demolition and Framing
In the construction phase, our team efficiently removed the old structure, exposing the foundation for a secure rebuild. Photos capture the skeletal framing stage, with pressure-treated lumber beams and posts anchored firmly to concrete footings. Yellow caution tape marked the work zone, and blue waterproofing barriers protected the house siding. Scattered tools, tarps, and plywood sheets indicated active progress, ensuring compliance with local building codes in Roslindale. This meticulous preparation prevents common issues like settling or instability, setting the stage for a long-lasting deck.
Assessing the Original Worn Deck
The initial setup featured an aging wooden deck attached to a beige-sided home, showing clear signs of deterioration. Red-painted railings and steps were chipped and peeling, with visible wood rot and uneven surfaces. A pop-up canopy provided temporary shade over mismatched red and beige folding chairs, while scattered items like a green plastic tarp, black trash bags, potted plants, garden gnomes, a soccer ball, and tools cluttered the area. The lattice skirting was frayed, and grass encroached on the edges, highlighting the need for a full replacement to restore safety and aesthetics. This common Roslindale scenario—older triple-decker style homes with outdated decks—often requires expert intervention to prevent further damage from moisture and freeze-thaw cycles.
