Modern Aluminum Deck
An Outdoor Living Space Integrated within the Forest
Mike and Karen asked us to replace their old, rotting back deck. They wanted to build an exceptional outdoor living space that extended their main floor into the expansive forest of Vineyard Mountain that surrounds their home. Our homeowners chose Nexan’s NextDeck powder coated aluminum decking in Light Gray and Nexan's Stainless Steel Cable Railing System. This new deck and cable rail system allow Mike, Karen, and any visitors to enjoy the beautiful views of Vineyard Mountain without obstructing their sightlines.
“Mike and Karen were so pleased with our work and our crew, they invited everyone who worked on the project over for a "deck-warming" party!”
Carl Christianson, Superintendent and Owner
PROJECT DETAILS
Aluminum Decking
NextDeck aluminum decking is a fireproof, pest-resistant product that will not rust, rot, sag, splinter, warp or crack at freezing temperatures. The powder-coated finish creates an extremely strong and UV stable surface finish that will not fade like traditional composite deck products. With a slip-resistant finish, this is a fantastic product for the Pacific Northwest weather!
Nexan Cable Railing
Because the fittings and cables are made out of marine grade 316L stainless steel, they are practically maintenance-free and are sturdy enough to last a lifetime. Compared to other railing types such as cedar that require regular and extensive maintenance, cable railing is low-maintenance. We worked with Nexan to incorporate LED rope lights under the handrails to provide ambient lighting.

What our Clients are Saying
“The house is so comfortable and welcoming and I feel very privileged to live in such a lovely place. The Aeroseal was a major advantage. Considering the house was partly constructed out of toothpicks, it is now a warm house, which is easy to heat. Also, we get ZERO insects in the house! ”

“We asked Christianson to design and build an entertainment center, a built in bookshelf and a built in desk and credenza. Designer Elizabeth captured our concept and turned it into a beautiful design plan. Ron at the cabinet shop came up with ideas for materials we would have never thought of. All the guys in the cabinet shop got excited about our project and we could tell we were in the hands of skilled craftsman. Jon kept us informed of the timing of construction throughout the project. They truly customized the space and the overall product exceeded our expectations.”

“There's a couple of unique features, certainly the stairway; That's really an organizing principle when you come into the house. When you come into the house, you see the stairs and you see right out to that super view. I think taking advantage of the view, and the way it functions and flows, I'd put it up there as one of the best projects I've done.”
