Case History #126 - Private Residence

Project: Private Residence - Dawsonville, Georgia
Date: October 2011

Problem:
The home of a senior citizen had a deck that was aged and deteriorating. Beyond the esthetic appearance, the deck had become very shaky and unstable. As this is the only exit from the rear of the house, it became a priority to repair.


Being a senior citizen, it was very important for this homeowner to install a decking system that required little to no maintenance, and provided a safe and secure exit to the back yard.


Duradek Solution:
The homeowner's regular contractor rebuilt the deck and called their local Duradek Installer to finish it with Duradek Vinyl Waterproofing and Durarail Powder Coasted Aluminum Railing.




When the Duradek Installer arrived with samples of vinyl patterns and colors, the homeowner loved the first one she saw  -  Forest Floor Birch. After looking at the full variety of styles available, she decided to choose the Forest Floor Birch and was very excited to have a stylish new deck and a safe exit from her home.


Job Notes:
This lovely senior lady's favorite companion is her little dog, and she must regularly take him out to her back yard. With a new slip resistant and low maintenance Duradek, her and her four-legged friend can enjoy their days without worry!

Case History #125 - Private Residence

Project: Private Residence, Bountiful, UT
Date: Spring 2010



Problem:
The deck on this home served as both an elegant entry to the home as well as provide a large storage area. Due to improper waterproofing the substrate had been water damaged to the point of having to be completely replaced. The homeowners wanted a product that would look great but also provide waterproofing to protect the structure and storage underneath.


Duradek Solution:
With the entryway being a focal point of the home, Duradek Classic Sandstone was chosen for its durability and low maintenance. What drew the homeowner to Duradek was the proven history of the Duradek membrane and the simple cleaning steps. Now they have a great looking feature to their home with the piece of mind that they won't have to go through the expensive repair process again.

Job Notes:
Located on the "bench", this deck in front of the home has added a real touch of class and is a neighborhood eye-catcher.
