Mjolnir ConstructionThis was an interesting location for a deck! Located at the side of the house is a little alcove, where our customers were looking to create an outdoor living area as an extension of their living room.
We framed this 11' x 14' deck using pressure treated wood with a limestone and patio stone base. Dark brown TimberTech composite decking was chosen to provide a suitable floor, and the underside of the deck was closed off with 5/4" vertical wood deck boards as skirting. To finish it all off we closed in the space with charcoal grey aluminum railing.
Thank you to our clients for providing the aerial shot!
Mjolnir ConstructionThe most popular choice of deck among our customers is a floating deck, which is low to the ground and requires no railing or building permits!
We just put the finishing touches on our most recent floating deck coming in at 224 Sqft. (14' x 16')...
✔️ Stairs from existing landing are cut to sit on the new floating deck while keeping a consistent rise.
✔️ A 2" x 4" border is placed around the perimeter of the deck to hide the ugly end grain of the deck boards and skirting.
✔️ A deep step provides comfortable access to the yard, with patio stones set on limestone for a strong base.
If you are looking for a floating deck to enjoy for next year, please contact us today for a free estimate!
Mjolnir ConstructionA front porch deck with stairs and ramp was in dire need of replacing for our latest customer. With the winter season around the corner, it was a safety concern to have this project completed quickly.
We used pressure treated wood to complete the framing, decking and railing. A cost effective material that requires some maintenance.
The railing incorporates stylish black aluminum balusters, post anchors and rail brackets to give a modern appearance.
There are a few items we would like to point out that may not be obvious to the average homeowner, but are small finishing touches that we feel set us apart from our competition...
✔️ A 1"x6" fence board was used to border the top of the skirting, hiding the screws used to fasten the skirt boards. The 1"x6" also hides the ugly butt ends of the decking.
✔️ Rounded corners were used at the end of the railings for ease of use. All railings were also sanded down.
✔️ Three structural screws at 8" in length were used to secure the 4"x4" posts that were side mounted to the deck and ramp. These screws are just as strong as a 3/8"x8" galvanized lag screw, but blend in better with the wood and can be counter sunk to make them even less visible.
✔️ A double mid span deck board design was used to eliminate deck boards butting against each other, and also creates a nice visual when moving from the ramp to the deck.
✔️ Cold patch asphalt was put down at the bottom of the ramp to create a seamless transition from the driveway to the ramp surface.
We could not feel more proud that these homeowners chose us to build them an attractive and safe deck with access, trusting that it would be completed on schedule!
Built Better ConstructionDeck Renovation with Trex Decking and Railing for a beautiful Low Maintenance Outdoor Living space
Mjolnir ConstructionSome minor repairs were required to the wall before we could begin construction on this new deck.
The previous deck was bolted through the vinyl siding and situated on deck blocks, which is not code. After we removed the ledger board, there was water damage present to the wall sheathing along with many ants eating away at the structure. We filled the holes left behind by the lag bolts with a spray foam gap filler from GREAT STUFF. We then replaced two rows of vinyl siding to complete the repair. Finally, we were able to start construction of the new deck!
This is a typical floating deck on a patio stone and limestone base. The 14' x 22' platform provides many flexible options for use, there is plenty of room to include a BBQ, seating area, dining area.
The deck is skirted with 5/4" deck boards to keep animals out and is also a clean finish to the sides.
Across the front of the deck is a large set of stairs with a patio stone and limestone base to ensure no movement while in use. The large set of stairs provides access to the backyard no matter what the layout on the deck may be. It can also be used as casual seating if you have invited too many people to your party!

Mjolnir ConstructionA favorite among new homeowners! We are asked for this deck design more than any other design.
Shown is a 14' x 16' main area, with a 6' x 10' section to the right of the builder deck, where the BBQ is located.
This type of deck design incorporates the builder deck (3' x 6') without the added cost of building an elevated deck to match the height, which would include railings, permits, etc.
Important to note is the skirting which not only keeps unwanted animals from making their home under your deck, but is also a nice finishing touch.
Please be sure to check with your builder as to when you are able to begin construction, as most new home builders ask that you wait at least one year after closing so final inspections can be completed by the city.

一級建築士事務所エイチ・アーキテクツ道路に面した玄関には玄関ドアが道路から直接見えないように目隠しをするのが一般的ですが、敷地いっぱいに建物を計画した場合は道路と建物の離れが十分でないため目隠しを設置する余裕がありません。この計画では、玄関から見て人通りの多い方向に袖壁を設置して玄関の目隠しとしています。袖壁は庇と一体となって、建物と道路の間の緩衝空間を提供します。
