Mjolnir ConstructionAn enormous 750Sqft custom pressure treated wood deck and 70Sqft front porch we finished up in Merrickville this week.
To quote the building inspector for that area, "This is the nicest deck I've ever seen built".
Pictures speak louder than words however, so please enjoy!
Archadeck Piedmont TriadThis AZEK deck design in Harvest finish was built to replace the clients’ original wood deck. The original deck had limited space, and felt closed off from the expansive backyard, which includes a pool. Our new low-maintenance deck design is not only larger, but now flows into the expanse beyond the back of the home, providing cohesion between the pool and the home. This AZEK deck also features low-maintenance Westbury railings on the top level and built-in bench seating on the bottom. An extra-wide deck stair maintains the open feel.
Deck & Drive SolutionsThis was a complete tear off and rebuild of this new deck. Timbertech came out with a new series and new colors for 2020 this February. The homeowners wanted a maintenance free deck and chose the new stuff! The decking color they picked with their blue house was Timbertech’s Reserve Collection in the Driftwood Color. We then decided to add white railing from Westbury Tuscany Series to match the trim color on the house. We built this deck next to the hot tub with a removable panel so there is room to access the mechanical of the hot tub when needed. One thing they asked for which took some research is a low voltage light that could be installed on the side of the deck’s fascia that would aim into the yard for the dog in the night. We then added post cap lights from Westbury and Timbertech Riser lights for the stairs. The complete Deck Lighting looks great and is a great touch. The deck had Freedom Privacy Panels installed below the deck to the ground with the Boardwalk Style in the White color. The complete deck turned out great and this new decking is amazing. Perfect deck for this house and family. The homeowners will love it for many years.

Mjolnir ConstructionThis customer hired us to improve their backyard space, as the upper deck was in need of updating and they required a large deck with raised garden beds for planting.
We built a spectacular 360Sqft. pressure treated wood deck with a picture frame deck edge and mid span deck border. Skirting was installed across the front of the deck as well.
A large set of 6' wide pressure treated wood stairs feature the same design as the main deck. We always support our stairs with a limestone screening and patio stone base to prevent movement and sinking!
Two western red cedar garden beds finish the sides of the deck, which will be used for growing vegetables. As a special surprise for our customer, we dedicated the garden beds to the their mother and father who both recently passed away. Inscribed on a live edge piece of white cedar, are the words "Giardino di Maria" and "Giardino di Stefano" which translated from Italian is "Garden of Maria" and "Garden of Stefano".
To revitalize the upper balcony, we capped the drop beam and rim joists with new pressure treated wood. We also removed the old decking and replaced with new pressure treated wood. The railing was removed and replaced with an exterior post and rail system using pressure treated wood and black aluminum balusters.
This was a very special project for us, and one that we will always remember.
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!

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 ConstructionWe built a cedar porch for one of our latest customers to welcome friends and family into their home.
Cedar porches are beautiful, and the smell of fresh cedar is pleasing. The best reason for choosing cedar, though, is its durability. A cedar porch is likely to last twice as long as one built with pressure treated wood. While cedar does require some maintenance, it requires less maintenance than pressure treated.
The railing is built with a combination of 2x4 cedar and aluminum balusters from Deckorators. While the 4x4 cedar posts are mounted to the deck surface with code compliant Titan Post Anchors.
Cedar skirting finishes off the deck to the ground for great curb appeal.
