This was a full new deck build in Edina - elevated off the back of the house with a full stair run down to the yard. The homeowner wanted something that would hold up for the long haul without the maintenance headache that comes with wood. That's exactly where TimberTech composite decking earns its keep.
We went with TimberTech for the decking surface and Westbury aluminum railing throughout - including the stair sections. Both products are built to handle Minnesota seasons without warping, fading, or rotting out on you. No staining every couple years. No boards cupping or splitting. Just a clean, solid deck that stays looking good.
The Westbury railing is what really ties the whole thing together. The dark aluminum finish against the warm brown of the TimberTech gives it a sharp, finished look. It's not just about aesthetics either - Westbury railing is genuinely tough. Aluminum doesn't rust, it doesn't need to be painted, and it stays tight and safe for decades.
Elevated decks like this one take more planning than a ground-level build. The post footings, structural framing, and stair layout all have to be right. We take that seriously on every job, whether it's a smaller platform deck or something with this much height and square footage.
If you've been sitting on the idea of a new deck, a composite build like this is worth the investment. The upfront cost is higher than pressure-treated wood, but you make it back over time - and then some - by skipping the annual maintenance cycle entirely.
