Blog Post: Successful Backyard Deck Renovation with a Modern Twist
At Harris Structures, we recently had the pleasure of completing a residential backyard deck renovation, transforming a well-loved space into something even more functional and visually striking. This project was a unique opportunity to breathe new life into an existing structure while adding modern features that make the space perfect for year-round enjoyment.
Project Overview: Expanding and Revamping the Space
The scope of the project was to not only refresh the deck but also expand it slightly to accommodate the new metal gazebo that was slightly larger than the previous iteration. By doing this, we created a seamless outdoor living space that combines comfort, aesthetics, and functionality.
Efficient Execution and Fast Turnaround
One of the key highlights of this project was the efficiency with which it was completed. From the moment we began planning to the final touches, every phase of the renovation proceeded smoothly. This fast execution was made possible by careful coordination and clear communication between our team and the client.
Keeping What Works: Reusing the Existing Structure
While some renovations require starting from scratch, this project was a great example of how reusing existing structures can lead to impressive results. We were able to retain the core structure of the original deck, which was still solid, and focused on recladding and upgrading its appearance. With expert craftsmanship and high-quality materials, the finished deck looks brand new—even though it builds on the existing foundation.
A Happy Client and a Stunning Outdoor Space
At the end of the day, the most rewarding part of this project was seeing our client’s reaction to the final result. It’s always a great feeling when a project goes exactly according to plan, but even more so when it exceeds the client’s expectations.

Transforming a Backyard: Efficient and Cost-Effective Deck Renovation
At Harris Structures, we understand the importance of having a functional and safe outdoor space, especially when it comes to family living. Recently, we had the pleasure of working on a residential backyard deck renovation, where both budget and speed were critical to meet the customer's needs. The result? A beautifully revamped deck that not only improved safety but also refreshed the backyard’s design—all without breaking the bank.
The Scope: A Smart and Simple Renovation
The original deck was worn, with its stairs awkwardly positioned on the side, which took away from the flow of the space. The homeowner wanted to update the deck while keeping costs manageable. Instead of a full rebuild, we focused on reshaping and improving the structure. The stairs were moved from the side of the deck to the front, providing easier access and a better visual flow from the backyard.
Challenges Met Head-On: Structural Improvements
One of the main challenges was removing the old railing posts and filling the existing stair opening. We expanded the deck, incorporating a stylish border and adding new railing with black aluminum pickets.
By retaining and improving the core structure of the original deck, we were able to provide a larger, safer, and more visually appealing outdoor area without unnecessary costs.
Results: Efficiency and Satisfaction
Thanks to a well-coordinated team effort and careful planning, the project was completed quickly, minimizing disruption to the homeowner’s daily life. Despite the structural modifications and added features, we were able to complete the job in record time.
The customer was thrilled with the results. Their new deck is now not only more functional but also safer for their young child. We’re proud to say that our ability to work efficiently and cost-effectively allowed us to deliver a beautiful end product that aligned with the homeowner's vision.
Why Efficiency Matters
For projects like this, efficiency is key. By keeping the project on schedule and within budget, we helped the homeowner achieve their goals without sacrificing quality or safety. This deck renovation showcases how smart planning, skilled craftsmanship, and clear communication can result in a quick and successful transformation.
