New aluminum gate and white stair trim for a deck in New Freedom, PA
Deck Construction · New Freedom, PA · completed September 2026
This deck construction job in New Freedom, PA was an update to a deck the homeowner already had. They called Herts Roofing & Construction to put an aluminum gate on it. They also wanted white trim on the stairs and a damaged post sleeve replaced.
The problem
The stairs had never been trimmed in white, so they didn't match the rest of the deck. One of the post sleeves was damaged too, and it needed to come off and be replaced.
What we did
We laid out where everything would go first, then started on the deck. Most of the work was hanging the white aluminum gate and putting white trim on the stairs. With the gate in, the homeowner can get on and off the deck more easily, and it's safer.
Materials
Aluminum deck gate, white stair trim, and a replacement post sleeve.
