This strata project addressed safety and usability issues on a two-stage deck with stairs leading down to a retention pond. The lower section had significant rot and was unsafe, leaving the area unused. The strata’s request was to remove the deteriorated lower deck entirely while keeping the upper deck untouched, and to provide safe access to the pond.

Our solution was to fully remove the lower deck and build a new, sturdy stair system for direct pond access. This simplifies the structure, reduces future maintenance, and restores practical use of the space—without changing the existing upper deck.
