Rebuilding An Old Deck With New Decking & Railings

Here’s a recent deck project I completed.  My job was to repair and extend an existing deck. The railings and connections were loose and the wood decking was starting to show signs of failure. Check out the pictures below and see how I updated this deck.

I framed a new set of stairs:

Installed new posts and beam:

After flashing, I installed vinyl lattice panels and composite decking:
