In the picturesque lakeside town of Loveland, CO, a family dreamed of enjoying breathtaking views from a safe, comfortable outdoor living space. Their existing deck, equipped with high-quality composite decking, should have been the perfect vantage point for morning coffees and al fresco dinners.
However, the family encountered a problem because their deck had a strong composite decking surface but a weaker, non-pressure-treated lumber frame.
This unexpected combination resulted in the warping of the deck boards and created a safety hazard that negated the benefits of having a high-quality decking surface. The homeowners found themselves with an unsafe outdoor area, preventing them from enjoying their stunning lakeside property to the fullest.
O’Keefe Built recognized this issue and stepped in to address the core of the problem.
Our team replaced the old structure with pressure-treated LVL framing, ensuring a stable and long-lasting foundation for the durable composite decking. Using the right materials together allows the family to enjoy their outdoor area without worrying about warping or safety. Plus, we included an under-deck drainage system, making the covered patio below usable even in bad weather.
Now, the Loveland Lakeside Oasis family can host gatherings on the deck, relax by the patio firepit, and confidently enjoy the beautiful setting of their lakeside property, knowing that their investment is built on a strong foundation.
