Deck Privacy Wall Replacement & Structural Repair – Cherry Hill Village, Canton Township MI

Posted on by emetrio_devs

Project Overview

At Titan Decks, not every project starts with a full rebuild. In Cherry Hill Village in Canton Township, this project focused on solving a very specific problem — a failing wood privacy wall combined with underlying structural deterioration.

The existing wall had reached the end of its life, with visible wear, aging materials, and sections that no longer provided consistent privacy. Once removal began, the bigger issue became clear: a rotted deck joist supporting part of the wall system.

Addressing the Structural Issue

Before any new materials could be installed, the damaged structure had to be corrected.

The compromised joist was repaired to restore the deck’s integrity and provide a solid foundation for the new wall system. This step is critical in projects like this — replacing surface elements without addressing underlying issues would only lead to future failure.

By resolving the structural problem first, we ensured the new installation would be both durable and long-lasting.

Rebuilding the Privacy Wall

With the structure corrected, we installed new wood panels designed to match the original layout while delivering a cleaner, more consistent appearance.

The updated wall includes:

  • New wood privacy panels
  • Pressure-treated structural components
  • Lattice detail along the top to match the original design
  • Improved alignment and finish throughout

The result is a wall system that blends seamlessly with the existing deck while significantly improving both function and appearance.

A Clean, Functional Upgrade

Projects like this highlight the importance of targeted repairs done correctly. Rather than replacing the entire deck, this homeowner was able to:

  • Restore structural integrity
  • Improve privacy and usability
  • Extend the life of the existing deck

All while maintaining a cohesive look that fits the home and neighborhood in Cherry Hill Village.

Built for Michigan Conditions

In a climate like Michigan, wood structures are constantly exposed to moisture, temperature swings, and seasonal wear.

By replacing deteriorated materials and repairing the underlying structure, this project is now positioned to perform reliably through changing conditions while maintaining its appearance over time.

Trex Basics Composite Deck Resurface with Stairs – Pickwick Village, Canton Township MI

Posted on by emetrio_devs

Project Overview

At Titan Decks, many homeowners aren’t looking to completely replace their deck—they’re looking to upgrade it. This featured project in the Pickwick Village subdivision of Canton Township is a perfect example of how a well-planned resurface can transform both the appearance and performance of an existing structure.

For this project, we removed the existing deck surface and railings while preserving the underlying frame. From there, we installed Trex Basics clamshell composite decking, giving the deck a clean, modern look with long-term durability and minimal maintenance.

To complement the new decking, we installed a Trex Select railing system, creating a crisp contrast that enhances both safety and visual appeal.

A key part of this transformation was the complete rebuild of the staircases, improving both functionality and code compliance while seamlessly integrating with the new deck surface and railing system.

To finish the project, we added white fascia and skirting, closing off the transition between the upper and lower sections of the deck for a polished, finished appearance.

The result is a refreshed outdoor living space that looks brand new—without the need for a full structural rebuild—giving the homeowner the benefits of composite decking with a more efficient upgrade approach.

Why This Project Stands Out

One of the biggest advantages of this project is that it shows how much impact a resurface can have when the right finish materials are selected. Replacing worn deck boards and outdated railings with composite decking and a coordinated railing system gave this deck a much more finished and modern appearance.

The rebuilt stairs were another important part of the upgrade. Stairs are one of the most visible and heavily used parts of any deck, so rebuilding them helped improve both everyday use and the overall visual flow of the project.

The addition of white fascia and skirting also made a major difference. These finishing details helped tie the upper and lower sections together and gave the deck a cleaner, more intentional look from every angle.

A Low-Maintenance Upgrade for Everyday Living

Composite resurfacing can be an excellent option for homeowners who want a fresh new look without the scope of a full rebuild. In this Pickwick Village project, the new Trex decking and railing system created a more inviting outdoor space while reducing the maintenance demands that often come with older wood surfaces.

With the updated decking, rebuilt stairs, and finished fascia details, this deck is now better suited for everyday use, easier to care for, and more visually aligned with the home.
