Chad and Kristen reached out to RenoVista because the back of their home had long been a source of frustration. The previous homeowner’s “handy” work had left behind a deck that was anything but stable — rickety boards, shaky railings, and an overall sense of insecurity every time they stepped outside.
They loved their home but hated the unsafe and neglected deck attached to it. Beyond safety concerns, the poor craftsmanship was preventing them from moving forward with their dream outdoor space — a future patio and pool area designed for family gatherings and entertaining.
For their growing family and their frequent visitors, this project was about more than aesthetics — it was about creating a functional, durable, and inviting backyard space that reflected how they actually lived.
Chad and Kristen wanted a deck that tied seamlessly into the future patio they envisioned — a cohesive, modern, and maintenance-free space where their family could gather comfortably year-round.
They pictured a bright, open, and high-quality deck that complemented their home’s exterior and served as the perfect bridge between their indoor and outdoor living spaces. The addition of a custom shed with updated electrical and doors would not only enhance functionality but also bring visual balance and architectural polish to the backyard.
One of their biggest concerns was heat retention — their backyard receives full sun, and their old deck became unbearably hot during the summer months.
Josh introduced them to TimberTech’s premium full-PVC decking, a product specifically engineered to resist heat absorption and eliminate the constant maintenance associated with traditional wood.
Challenge 1: Long Deck Span
Because Chad and Kristen wanted only one beam at the end of the deck to preserve an open look, the structure required an unusually large span.
Solution: RenoVista’s framing team used 2×12 lumber to meet span code requirements while maintaining a streamlined, beam-free appearance beneath most of the deck. The result is both structurally sound and visually minimal.
Challenge 2: Supporting the Sunroom and Roof During Shed Work
The new shed was built below an existing sunroom and roof structure. Removing the old supports risked compromising stability.
Solution: RenoVista’s carpenters engineered temporary supports and reinforced the new framing to ensure the roof and sunroom remained secure while the new shed structure was installed.
When the framing was completed, Chad and Kristen stepped out to see the scale of their new deck for the first time. The excitement was immediate — they finally had the spacious outdoor living area they’d been dreaming of.
Before:
A deteriorating wood deck with poor craftsmanship, structural instability, and unsafe railings. The design limited outdoor use and left the couple frustrated.
Today, the backyard has become their favorite place to unwind. The new deck connects beautifully to their home and will soon flow seamlessly into their upcoming patio — the perfect backdrop for entertaining friends, relaxing with family, and soaking in the sunshine.
The full-PVC decking stays cool underfoot even on the hottest days, and the sturdy construction gives them peace of mind every time they step outside.
Kristen had been following RenoVista’s work on social media for quite some time. She admired the craftsmanship and professionalism but assumed RenoVista didn’t service her area. After a quick call with Josh, that changed — he personally visited their home in Medway to assess the project and discuss design possibilities.
From the first meeting, Chad and Kristen were impressed by RenoVista’s clarity, transparency, and design-driven approach. They valued the team’s ability to handle every step — from concept to construction — while keeping them informed and confident throughout.
Ultimately, they chose RenoVista because they trusted the process, the people, and the proven results.
