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
“We worked with G. Christianson on a pretty major kitchen remodel, and the whole project went wonderfully from start to finish. They helped us develop our vision for the new kitchen into a concrete set of plans, and they worked with us to keep the project within our budget. As construction progressed, they were communicative and responsive. We really appreciated the weekly meetings they held with us, where they updated us on their progress and consulted with us about any changes we needed to make to our original plan due to unforeseen quirks in our mid-century house. In the end, the work is solid and beautiful, and our new kitchen is a joy to cook and bake in. We really appreciated the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the whole G. Christianson team. We felt like we were in good hands the entire time we worked with them. Just as importantly, everyone we interacted with during the project was friendly and professional, from Carl, the owner, to Anna, the designer we worked with, to Ben and the G. Christianson crew, to all of the subcontractors they brought in, and everyone else. We wouldn't hesitate to work with G. Christianson again if we ever have more remodeling work to do, and we highly recommend them.”

“Larry's cedar deck had reached the end of it's life, the handrails were literally falling off. We rejuvenated it with new Trex and were able to reuse the tall telephone poles that support it. ”
