A new front porch deck built for a home in Cranford, NJ
Deck Construction · Cranford, NJ · completed September 2024
We just finished a deck construction job in Cranford, NJ. The old wood deck at the front porch came out, and we built a new one in its place.
The problem
Getting the old deck out took some work. Once it was gone, we had to get the area ready for the new build. The siding on the top section was due for replacement too.
What we did
We pulled the old deck and built the new one, a composite deck installation using Trex boards. Up top we put on new James Hardie fiber cement siding. Where the deck meets the house, we installed proper ledger flashing so water can't get behind it.
Materials
James Hardie fiber cement siding for the top siding replacement. Trex deck boards. New aluminum railings.
