Split-Level Trex Deck + Fence — Medford

A badly deteriorated wood deck, an inset hot-tub area the homeowners no longer wanted, and a failing fence were replaced with a cleaner, more usable split-level outdoor space built around low-maintenance Trex decking, redesigned stairs, a new cedar fence, and powder-coated metal railing.

Before

A worn-out deck and fence that were ready for a complete reset.

The original wood deck was in extremely rough shape. The lower section had been built around a hot tub, but the homeowners wanted the hot tub removed so the rebuilt space could feel more open and useful. The surrounding fence had also deteriorated and was ready to be replaced.

Footings + Site Work

New support where the redesigned deck needed it.

For the upper deck section, we cut into the existing concrete slab where necessary so new concrete footings could be poured for the rebuilt structure. The work was laid out around the revised deck configuration and the homeowners' preferred stair location.

Framing + Layout

Pressure-treated framing and stairs repositioned for better use.

The new deck structure was framed with pressure-treated lumber for durability. The split-level layout was rebuilt without the old inset hot-tub configuration, opening up the lower area and making the overall footprint easier to use.

The stairs were repositioned to better match the homeowners' preferences and create a more natural transition between the upper and lower levels.

Trex Installation

Low-maintenance composite decking replaces the weathered wood surface.

Trex composite decking was installed across the rebuilt structure, creating a cleaner surface that requires far less routine maintenance than the original wood deck. Careful cutting and edge work prepared the decking for the finished perimeter and stair details.

Project Scope

A complete outdoor-space replacement rather than a surface-only update.

The project addressed the deteriorated deck, the obsolete hot-tub layout, the failing fence, structural support, stair placement, composite decking, and finished railing as one coordinated build.

01

Demolition + Reconfiguration

The old deck and inset hot-tub arrangement were removed so the lower area could become more open and useful.

02

Footings + Framing

New concrete footings and pressure-treated framing supported the redesigned split-level deck.

03

Fence + Stairs

A deteriorated fence was replaced with new cedar fencing, and the stairs were moved to a location that better fit the homeowners' preferences.

04

Trex + Metal Railing

Low-maintenance Trex decking and strong powder-coated metal railing completed the new outdoor space.

Finished Result

A cleaner split-level deck with more open space and less maintenance.

The homeowners gained a completely refreshed outdoor area without the old inset hot tub, plus a new fence, better-positioned stairs, durable composite decking, and dependable powder-coated metal railing. The work moved quickly and efficiently, and the finished layout matched what the homeowners wanted from the replacement.
