This Seattle, WA, project transformed a rotted 288-square-foot wood deck into a new outdoor space finished with AZEK Vintage PVC decking. The homeowners wanted a full replacement that upgraded the deck surface from wood to PVC and included two staircases in the new design. A two-person Olympic Decks crew completed the installation in four days, starting and finishing on schedule and delivering the quality and attention to detail noted in the homeowner’s feedback.
