Another stellar project for the Dexpert 2021 Portfolio! The pictures don't do this one justice, this deck needs to be appreciated up close and personal to get the the real picture. Check out our website for the drone flyover video of this beauty for some of the $ shots. The level of collaboration, thought, detail, and craftsmanship that went into this one is difficult to describe. We absolutely love how this one turned out, and look forward to doing more work in the neighborhood! 

The Glen View Farms Lady in White

Lets just take a moment to drink this one in... just wow. This was the most drastic backyard/outdoor living revamp we've ever taken on, the whole backside of this property is practically unrecognizable compared to what it was before. The first phase of this project was started and completed in the late-summer of 2020. This is when we stripped the deck down to the joists, replaced the footings and posts, extended the deck 12', installed the Trex RainEscape in-deck drainage system, installed Azek Vintage Brazilian Walnut 50 yr decking, black Westbury C10 Tuscany Rails w/ drinkrail, the decorative, stained and stamped concrete patio, and the decorative board and batten ceiling (3rd picture).  The second phase was stared and finished in July of 2021. The second phase was not nearly as extensive but just as if not more custom. We had to alter the retaining wall on the left and shorten for our screen wall to have clearance. After that we were able to install all the column wraps, custom made column base accent wraps, walls, screen tracks & screens, doors, trim, etc. 

     This is one of the more elegant deck/outdoor living projects we've done and wow did it ever turn out. The depths that we went to, to bring this vision alive was extensive, the amount of custom details and special methods we had to use could fill a small book. This beautiful deck overlooks the fairway of 4th hole on Oak Marsh Golf Course and has been graciously described by one of the neighbors as "the Cadillac of the neighborhood". His verbiage has stuck and we couldn't agree more. We could not be more proud of the product we we're able to deliver to this client and hope the pictures tell you everything you need to know about who we are and what we do at Dexpert LLC.

Oak Marsh Maintenance-Free Deck & Screen Porch

The client we performed this work for was an awesome client to work with. She had an image in mind of what she wanted the new front face of her house to look like and we worked together to bring it to life for a better price than she had even imagined. The satisfaction me and my carpenters get from doing a good job and our clients feeling they been taken care of, is why we love this industry so much. Lawyers describe a "Good Deal" as either both parties being happy or feeling shorted, we focus on the first option. This project captured exactly that.

This project turned out phenomenal and was a privilege to be a part of. We had to alter some of the existing framing and completely replace other parts as we always expect with resurface jobs. But all in all this was a great project for us to start off the 2021 fiscal year with. Another huge bonus to this project was we were finally able to lay some Trex Transcend Tiki Torch decking, we at Dexpert have been looking forward to trying out that decking and building some art with it for some time it seems. This deck, being a resurface, had it's own set of challenges like they all do. I'll try not to bore you with the details but the whole floor frame was slightly out of square in 2 directions, which made for some fun cutting all the mitered corners. We got it done and turned an older deteriorated deck on its last legs into an elegant structure again. We really loved the turnout of this deck and know the homeowners did too. We hope they make some good use out of it this summer and make lasting memories on their new, long lasting, maintenance-free deck.
