Project Highlights: Complete Deck Teardown & Reconstruction A Modern Deck Rebuilt With Premium Materials
Location: Portland, Oregon
Type: Teardown & Reconstruction
When a deck reaches the end of its lifespan, a surface repair isn’t always enough. Sometimes the safest and most cost-effective solution is a full teardown and reconstruction—allowing the homeowner to start fresh with stronger framing, upgraded materials, and a layout designed for everyday comfort and long-term performance. That was the case with this recent Grand Decks project in Portland, Oregon, where an aging wooden deck was removed and rebuilt from the ground up using top-tier products from TimberTech and Trex.
Starting Fresh: Full Removal of the Old Deck
The project began with a complete teardown. All the original wood decking, railings, and deteriorated framing were safely removed to expose a clean foundation area. Starting from scratch allowed our team to rebuild the deck with proper structural support, updated hardware, and the latest installation standards, ensuring long-term durability in Portland’s wet climate.
Premium Decking: TimberTech AZEK in Ashwood
For the deck surface, the homeowner chose TimberTech AZEK decking in Ashwood, a premium PVC material known for its high-end appearance and unmatched durability. Unlike traditional wood, AZEK boards resist mold, moisture, fading, and cracking, making them an excellent fit for the Pacific Northwest. The Ashwood color delivers a warm, modern look that pairs beautifully with natural landscapes and contemporary homes.
The build also includes a vertical deck skirt in matching Ashwood, giving the new structure a polished, seamless appearance from top to bottom.
Trex Signature Aluminum Railings for Strength & Style
Safety and style were elevated through the installation of Trex Signature aluminum railings. These railings offer:
-
Exceptional strength
-
Low-maintenance powder-coated finish
-
Sleek, modern lines
-
Resistance to rust and corrosion
Their clean black finish contrasts the Ashwood deck boards perfectly, creating a refined and balanced look.

Added Privacy & Functionality
To give the homeowner extra comfort and usability, the new deck includes:
-
Custom privacy panels built to block visibility while allowing airflow
-
A hinged access gate with high-quality exterior hardware
-
Reinforced gate framing to prevent sagging over time
These features transform the deck into a private, functional outdoor retreat that fits the homeowner’s everyday needs.
A Modern Outdoor Space Built to Last
The completed deck is more than just a reconstruction—it’s a full upgrade. With premium materials like TimberTech AZEK, durable Trex Signature railings, and high-strength hardware throughout, the final result is a clean, modern, long-lasting outdoor space built for year-round enjoyment.
