Enjoy Resilient, Maintenance Free Steps with Composite Decking
Posted by Alan Franca on Sat, Dec 10, 2011 @ 02:16 PM
If your home currently has any exterior steps that are made of concrete or brick, you might be familiar with the constant battles they present you with year after year. Over time, it is inevitable that the New England elements will ultimately take their toll and cause the steps to crack, sag, and become downright unsightly without frequent maintenance and costly repairs. Ice and snow have a tendency to break down the mortar joints, allowing bricks to crack and become unstable. Facing this situation can become a thing of the past by contacting us at Franca Services and allowing us to introduce you to the GAF Composite Decking Board product line.
That’s exactly what we did with this Marlborough MA customer, concerning his 120 year old Victorian home. Because we were already scheduled to perform a Hardiplank installation and a few other projects for the homeowner, he wanted us to additionally handle his back patio steps. Pleased by the convincing appearance of the product’s intricate grain variations and shade options, the customer decided to trust our solid reputation as a GAF composite deck contractor in MA and move forward with the project. We also recommended the addition of a GAF Composite Railing system as a much-needed safety feature for his family. During installation, we used an innovative, hidden fastening system to keep his deck boards free of cumbersome screw and nail heads. As you can tell from the photos, the addition perfectly accentuates the home’s screened-in patio.
At Franca Services, we take pride in being a premier composite decking installer in MA, but we also have the ability to install any kind of decking system, including those made with pressure treated wood. We can get the job done within your budget, on time, and in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure that your composite decking’s generous warranty will be honored if you need it. Give us a call at (508) 481-0150 or request a free consultation to see how we can serve your needs concerning composite decking around the Boston area.
