The problem

Where the job started

The deck surface was worn out, and once the old boards came off, parts of the frame needed repair too.

What Korvex did

  1. Remove old decking
  2. Inspect and repair framing
  3. Install new deck boards
  4. Finish the border next to the interlock

How we solved it

The hard parts of this job

  1. Boards notched around a steel post
    01

    Boards cut around the steel posts

    Black steel posts come up through the deck. The new boards were notched around each post, and the edge is finished with a mitred border board.

  2. Taped joists next to the new boards
    02

    Tape on the open frame

    Part of the frame stood open while new boards were already down on the rest. The tops of the joists were taped before those boards went on.
