This large-scale outdoor renovation was completed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, combining refurbishment, expansion, and new structural additions into one cohesive backyard transformation. The project blended composite decking, concrete work, upgraded stairs, and a modern pergola system to create a fully integrated outdoor living space.
Existing Deck Refurbishment
The original 12′ x 12′ deck (approximately 240 SF total working area) was fully refurbished using Trex Tide Pool composite decking. The existing structure was upgraded with new decking boards and railing systems, restoring both safety and visual appeal while extending the lifespan of the original build.
Deck Expansion and Structural Framing
To increase usable outdoor space, an 8′ x 12′ deck extension was constructed. This included new framing, decking installation, and railing systems designed to seamlessly integrate with the refurbished structure. The expansion significantly improved the overall layout and functionality of the outdoor area.
Stair Reconfiguration and PVC Finishing
The stair system was redesigned into an L-shaped configuration to improve access and flow between levels. Structural posts, including 6×6 and 4×4 supports, were wrapped with Royal PVC trim and post sleeves, creating a clean, finished appearance while protecting the underlying framing from weather exposure.
Concrete Patios and Walkway Integration
Project Timeline and Investment

The final result is a fully upgraded outdoor living space that combines durability, functionality, and modern design throughout the property in Pennsylvania.
