Elevating Curb Appeal: A Mechanicsburg Dual Deck Transformation

  • Location: Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Size of Deck: 204
  • Type of Decking: Trex/Cinnamon -Toasted Sand
  • Days to Complete: 5
  • Total Cost: $16,000.00

This Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania project showcases the impact of coordinated front and back deck installations that transform a home’s entire outdoor living experience. With 204 square feet of combined deck space featuring sophisticated color combinations and premium materials, this project elevated both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Front Deck: Picture Frame Design

The front deck features an eye-catching picture frame border using Trex Cinnamon Cove with a Trex Toasted Sand field. This two-tone approach creates visual interest and a custom, high-end appearance. The darker Cinnamon Cove perimeter frames the lighter Toasted Sand center, drawing the eye and adding architectural detail that enhances the home’s curb appeal. Six stairs provide easy access while maintaining the design’s elegant flow.

Front Deck Railing: Sleek Black Aluminum

We installed Trex Black Aluminum Railing with black post sleeves on the front deck, creating a modern, sophisticated look. The aluminum railing offers exceptional durability and requires zero maintenance while its slim profile maximizes views. The black finish provides striking contrast against the warm cinnamon and sand tones of the decking.

Back Deck: Private Retreat

The 6′ x 16′ back deck uses Trex Cinnamon Cove throughout, creating a warm, inviting space for private relaxation. This deck features traditional Trex railing with substantial 2.5″ x 2.5″ posts, offering a more classic aesthetic that suits the backyard’s intimate setting while complementing the front deck’s design.

Five-Day Timeline

Completing two separate decks with different design elements required five days of focused work. This timeline allowed our team to properly execute the picture frame pattern, install two distinct railing systems, build stairs, and ensure every detail met our quality standards. The result was worth the careful attention to craftsmanship.

Investment in Complete Outdoor Living

At $16,000, this project represents a significant investment in the home’s overall value and livability. The cost reflects the complexity of dual installations, premium Trex materials in multiple colors, two different railing systems, and the skilled labor required to execute detailed design work. The return comes through increased property value, enhanced curb appeal, and years of low-maintenance enjoyment.

Coordinated Design Excellence

The success of this Mechanicsburg project lies in its thoughtful coordination. The front deck makes a bold first impression with its picture frame design and modern black railing, while the back deck offers a cohesive yet distinct space for private enjoyment. Together, these decks provide 204 square feet of outdoor living that will serve this home beautifully for decades to come.
