Historic Downtown Northville Deck Update with Deckorators® Summit Cliffside Decking

Posted on July 3, 2026July 4, 2026 by emetrio_devs

Modern Composite Deck Update in Historic Downtown Northville

Historic Downtown Northville is known for its timeless homes and distinctive neighborhoods, and this deck update demonstrates how premium composite materials can enhance an existing outdoor living space while complementing the character of the home. Rather than replacing the entire structure, Titan Decks transformed the deck by installing new composite decking, railings, and stairs, giving the homeowners the appearance and performance of a completely refreshed outdoor space.

The project began by removing the existing deck surface, railings, and staircase while leaving the existing framing in place. This approach allowed the existing structure to remain while creating a dramatic visual transformation with premium, low-maintenance materials.

The new deck surface was built using Deckorators® Summit Cliffside mineral-based composite decking. The Cliffside color offers a sophisticated blend of warm gray and brown tones that pairs beautifully with the home’s exterior. Matching fascia and a full picture-frame border provide clean, finished edges that define the deck and highlight the craftsmanship throughout the project.

One of the most striking features of the completed deck is the Trex® Signature black aluminum railing system. The slim balusters create an open, unobstructed view of the backyard while providing a sleek architectural appearance that complements both the deck and the home. A matching Deckorators Cliffside composite cocktail rail was installed along the top of the railing, creating a durable surface that’s perfect for entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying the backyard.

The staircase was rebuilt using matching Deckorators Summit Cliffside decking and Trex Signature railing, creating a seamless transition from the deck to the patio below. From every angle, the updated staircase blends naturally with the deck while providing safe and comfortable access to the backyard.

The completed project delivers a clean, modern outdoor living space that respects the historic character of the property while offering all the advantages of today’s premium composite decking. With virtually no ongoing maintenance beyond routine cleaning, the homeowners can spend more time enjoying their deck and less time maintaining it.

Why Homeowners Choose a Composite Deck Update

When the existing deck framing remains structurally sound, resurfacing a deck can dramatically improve its appearance without the expense of a complete rebuild. Replacing worn deck boards, stairs, and railings with premium composite materials creates a fresh, modern outdoor living space while significantly reducing long-term maintenance.

Deckorators Summit mineral-based composite decking offers exceptional durability, outstanding traction, and minimal expansion and contraction, making it an excellent choice for Michigan’s changing seasons. Combined with Trex Signature aluminum railings, the result is an outdoor living space designed to provide decades of beauty with very little upkeep.

Ready to Upgrade Your Deck?

If your deck’s structure is still in good condition but the decking, stairs, or railings have reached the end of their life, a professional deck update may be the perfect solution. Titan Decks can evaluate your existing deck and recommend whether resurfacing or a complete rebuild is the best investment for your home.

Composite Deck Update in Old Milford Farms | Milford, MI

Deckorators Summit Cliffside Deck Update in Old Milford Farms

An aging painted wood deck doesn’t always require a complete rebuild. This project in Milford’s Old Milford Farms subdivision demonstrates how resurfacing a structurally sound deck with premium composite materials can completely transform an outdoor living space while preserving much of the existing framework.

By combining Deckorators Summit Cliffside mineral-based composite decking, custom picture framing, composite skirting, and Trex Signature aluminum railing, Titan Decks delivered a beautiful, low-maintenance deck that looks and performs like new.

The Project

When Titan Decks evaluated this existing deck, the underlying framing was still in good condition and suitable for reuse. Rather than recommending a complete replacement, we developed a resurfacing plan that maximized the homeowner’s investment while addressing structural concerns discovered during construction.

The project began with the removal of the existing painted wood decking and stairs while preserving the structural framing below. Before installing the new decking, our team added framing to close the open section near the chimney, creating a cleaner deck layout and improving the usable outdoor living space.

To help protect the existing framing for years to come, every joist received premium joist tape before the new composite decking was installed.

The homeowners selected Deckorators Summit Cliffside, a sophisticated gray-brown color available exclusively in the lightweight Summit collection. The natural wood-inspired tones complement both the home’s brick exterior and mature landscaping while providing the long-term durability and low maintenance homeowners expect from today’s premium mineral-based composite decking.

A custom composite picture frame defines the deck perimeter and highlights the deck’s distinctive angled design. Matching fascia and composite deck board skirting create a clean, finished appearance from every viewing angle.

The existing built-in bench was resurfaced with matching Deckorators decking, allowing one of the deck’s most popular gathering spaces to remain while blending seamlessly into the new design.

Because only one stairway required a railing, the homeowners selected Trex Signature black aluminum railing for the driveway-side stairs. Its sleek, contemporary profile provides safety without overwhelming the deck’s open views of the backyard.

During demolition, our crew also identified deteriorated structural beams beneath portions of the deck. These beams were replaced through a change order, ensuring the finished project rests on a solid structural foundation.

The completed project demonstrates how thoughtful planning and quality materials can dramatically extend the life of an existing deck. Instead of replacing the entire structure, this Milford homeowner now enjoys the appearance of a brand-new outdoor living space with the beauty, durability, and low-maintenance performance of today’s leading composite decking products.

A Smart Alternative to Complete Deck Replacement

Many older decks still have framing that remains structurally sound even though the decking, stairs, and railings have reached the end of their service life. In these situations, resurfacing can provide exceptional value by preserving usable structural components while replacing everything homeowners see and use every day.

For this Old Milford Farms project, the combination of structural improvements, protective framing upgrades, Deckorators Summit Cliffside decking, composite skirting, and Trex Signature railing created a deck that looks entirely new while maximizing the value of the existing structure.

Ready to Upgrade Your Deck?

If your deck is showing signs of age but the framing may still be serviceable, a professional evaluation can help determine whether resurfacing is the right solution. Titan Decks specializes in deck renovations, resurfacing, repairs, and complete rebuilds throughout Southeast Michigan, helping homeowners choose the approach that delivers the best long-term value.

Trex Composite Deck Rebuild with Privacy Screen in Pickwick Village, Canton Township MI

Posted on June 13, 2026June 23, 2026 by emetrio_devs

Project Overview

The original deck featured an angled design that limited usable space and no longer met the homeowners’ goals for their outdoor living area. Titan Decks removed the existing structure and constructed a completely new framing system designed to support a composite picture-frame layout and modern outdoor living features.

The new deck was finished with Trex Naturals Toasted Sand composite decking, matching fascia, and a picture-frame border that creates a clean architectural appearance. The redesigned layout squared off the original angle, increasing usable deck space and creating a more functional outdoor environment.

New Trex Select black aluminum railings provide safety while maintaining open sightlines to the backyard. To increase privacy and comfort, a Hideaway aluminum privacy screen was installed along the south side of the deck, creating a more secluded outdoor living space.

The project also included a completely rebuilt staircase and grading improvements around the deck perimeter. Additional river rock was installed to help correct negative grading and improve drainage away from the home.

The finished 437-square-foot deck provides a durable, low-maintenance outdoor living area designed to withstand Michigan weather while offering years of enjoyment for the homeowners.

Composite Pool Deck Build with Multi-Level Access – Salem Township MI

Posted on April 14, 2026April 15, 2026 by emetrio_devs

At Titan Decks, every project starts with structure—and ends with a space that completely transforms how homeowners use their backyard.

This featured project in Salem Township showcases a custom composite pool deck designed to create clean access, defined elevations, and a low-maintenance outdoor space built for long-term performance.

Project Overview

This build centered around a raised pool deck with multiple transition points between the home, yard, and pool area. The goal was to create a layout that felt natural and easy to navigate, while maintaining a strong, durable structure underneath.

The project moved through multiple visible stages—from framing, to decking installation, to final railing—highlighting the importance of proper sequencing in deck construction.

Built in Phases for Precision

One of the standout aspects of this project is how clearly the construction stages come together.

Early framing established the footprint and elevation of the deck. Once complete, the composite decking was installed across the main surface while leaving key areas—like stairs and transitions—open for final adjustments.

This approach ensures:

Proper alignment across the entire deck surface
Clean transitions between elevations
Strong, consistent structural support throughout

Decking Installed Before Final Details

Several images from this project capture a critical stage:
the decking is fully installed, but railing and stairs are still being completed.

This is intentional.

By installing decking first, we’re able to:

Lock in the primary deck surface
Fine-tune stair placement and access points
Ensure railing lines are straight and consistent

This level of detail is what separates a standard build from a professionally executed deck.

Stair and Entry Construction

The stair system and entry points were built after the main deck surface was established, allowing for precise positioning and clean integration with the surrounding space.

You’ll notice in the images:

Stair framing completed before decking is applied
Open access areas maintained until final layout decisions are locked in
Smooth transitions between ground level and deck surface

This phased approach results in a more natural flow and a better finished product.

Clean Finish with Black Aluminum Railing

The final stage of the project brings everything together with a black aluminum railing system that defines the space without blocking views.

Strong perimeter safety
Clean, modern appearance
Minimal maintenance required

The railing complements the composite decking and gives the entire project a finished, cohesive look.

Built for Michigan Conditions

Like all Titan Decks projects, this build was designed with Michigan’s changing seasons in mind.

Composite decking provides:

Resistance to moisture and temperature swings
Long-term durability without warping or splintering
Low maintenance compared to traditional wood

Combined with proper framing and spacing, this deck is built to perform year after year.

Trex Clamshell Composite Deck with Black Rod Rail – Townes at Oak Pointe, Green Oak Township MI

Posted on April 10, 2026April 13, 2026 by emetrio_devs

Project Overview

At Titan Decks, we build outdoor spaces that combine clean design, structural strength, and long-term performance. This featured project takes us to the Townes at Oak Pointe subdivision in Green Oak Township, where we constructed an elevated composite deck designed to deliver durability, low maintenance, and a sharp modern finish.

This deck was built with a strong framing package that includes 6×6 posts, 2×10 beams, and 2×10 joists spaced 12 inches on center. That tighter joist spacing helps create a more solid feel underfoot and provides the support needed for a premium composite deck surface.

For the decking and fascia, this project features Trex Clamshell. The color gives the deck a crisp, contemporary look while offering the low-maintenance benefits homeowners want from composite materials. It resists moisture, fading, and everyday wear, making it a smart choice for Michigan’s changing weather.

To complete the space, we installed black Trex Rod Rail. The horizontal profile keeps the design feeling open and modern while preserving backyard views. The contrast between the Clamshell decking and the black railing gives this deck a clean, finished appearance that fits the home well.

Below the deck, a weed barrier and gravel base were installed to help with drainage and reduce maintenance over time. That added detail helps keep the area beneath the deck cleaner and more functional.

The finished result is a strong, attractive outdoor living space built for everyday enjoyment and long-term performance.

This design allows the homeowner to move seamlessly between open-air and covered spaces.

Premium Composite Decking

The deck features TimberTech Terrain composite decking in Dark Cocoa, paired with a matching picture frame border and fascia for a clean, finished appearance.

This material was selected for:

Long-term durability in Michigan weather

These upgrades ensure the deck can handle both daily use and the additional weight of the hot tub without compromise.

Covered Hot Tub Retreat

A standout feature of this project is the fully covered hot tub area, designed with a shingled roof structure.

This creates:

Protection from sun and rain
A more private, enclosed feel
Extended usability throughout the year

Positioned as its own defined space, it adds a completely different experience within the same deck footprint.

Trex Composite Deck Resurfacing – Brighton Lake Village, Brighton MI

Posted on April 3, 2026April 6, 2026 by emetrio_devs

Project Overview

At Titan Decks, we help homeowners transform aging outdoor spaces into clean, functional environments built for everyday living. This featured project in Brighton Lake Village in Brighton shows how a well-planned resurfacing can completely redefine both the look and usability of a deck.

The original structure provided a solid foundation, making it an ideal candidate for resurfacing. By replacing the decking, fascia, and railing system, we delivered a modern, low-maintenance outdoor space without the need for a full rebuild.

This new design features Trex Enhance Naturals decking in Toasted Sand, paired with a Coastal Bluff picture frame and matching fascia. The contrast adds definition to the layout while creating a clean, finished appearance from every angle.

The layout naturally creates two distinct outdoor living areas. A dedicated dining space sits near the home, while the main platform functions as a comfortable lounge area for relaxing and entertaining. The open design keeps everything connected while still giving each space its own purpose.

Finished with black Trex Signature aluminum railing, the deck offers strong visual contrast while maintaining open sightlines to the surrounding yard. Combined with the existing landscaping, the space feels fully integrated into the property.

Project Details

Project Type: Deck Resurfacing
Location: Brighton Lake Village, Brighton MI
Decking: Trex Enhance Naturals – Toasted Sand
Picture Frame & Fascia: Trex Enhance Naturals – Coastal Bluff
Railing: Trex Signature Aluminum – Black
Layout Features:
- Defined dining area near the home
- Separate lounge / conversation space
- Open flow between spaces
Key Benefits:
- Low maintenance composite materials
- Clean, modern contrast design
- Improved usability with multi-zone layout

Design Highlights

This project stands out for how efficiently the space is used. Instead of a single open platform, the layout creates purpose-driven zones that improve how the deck functions day to day.

The Coastal Bluff picture frame adds just enough contrast to define the perimeter without overpowering the main decking color. This detail ties the entire design together and gives the deck a polished, intentional look.

The black Trex Signature railing complements the darker accent tones while keeping views open to the yard. This helps maintain a spacious feel even within a defined footprint.

Resurfacing Benefits

For many homeowners, resurfacing is the most efficient way to upgrade an outdoor space. In this case, the existing framing allowed for a full visual transformation without the cost and timeline of a complete rebuild.

By upgrading to Trex composite materials, this deck now offers long-term durability with minimal maintenance. There’s no need for staining or sealing, and the materials are designed to perform through Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles.

Why This Deck Works

This Brighton project is a great example of how thoughtful design and material selection can completely elevate an outdoor space.

The two-zone layout improves functionality
The color combination creates a clean, modern aesthetic
The low-maintenance materials ensure long-term performance
The resurfacing approach maximizes value from the existing structure

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

Posted on March 27, 2026April 16, 2026 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.

Composite Deck with Picture Frame – Windridge Estates, Lyon Township MI

Posted on March 26, 2026March 31, 2026 by emetrio_devs

Project Overview

At Titan Decks, we enjoy building outdoor spaces that take full advantage of a home’s surroundings—and this deck in Windridge Estates, Lyon Township is a perfect example.

Designed as a clean, elevated platform, this composite deck creates a seamless transition from the home to the backyard while maximizing open views of the pond behind the property. The simple, square layout is enhanced with a thoughtful stair placement that provides easy access to the yard without interrupting the usable deck space.

This build combines low-maintenance materials, strong structural design, and a modern railing system to create a space that is both functional and visually striking.

Project Highlights

Deck Size: Approximately 20′ x 20′ main platform
Custom Layout: Offset stair bump-out with dedicated landing
Framing: Pressure-treated lumber with joists spaced 12″ on center
Decking: Deckorators® Summit composite decking
Picture Frame: Dark Slate border for clean visual definition
Railing: Trex® Signature black aluminum railing system
Stairs: Full staircase with matching railing for safe yard access
Under Deck: Pea gravel with weed barrier for clean drainage and low maintenance

Design & Build Details

This deck was designed with simplicity and performance in mind. The 20′ x 20′ platform provides ample space for outdoor furniture, entertaining, and everyday use, while the offset stair design allows for smooth traffic flow without taking away from the main deck area.

To enhance durability and long-term performance, the framing was constructed using pressure-treated lumber with joists spaced at 12 inches on center. This tighter spacing provides a more solid feel underfoot and is especially beneficial for composite decking installations.

The Deckorators Summit decking offers a clean, modern appearance with the added benefit of low maintenance. A Dark Slate picture frame border defines the perimeter of the deck, adding contrast and a finished look that elevates the overall design.

The Trex Signature black aluminum railing system ties everything together, providing safety while maintaining open sightlines to the pond and surrounding landscape.

Built for Michigan Conditions

Like all Titan Decks projects, this deck was built to handle Michigan’s changing seasons. From freeze-thaw cycles to moisture exposure, every material and construction method was selected for long-term durability.

The addition of a weed barrier and pea gravel beneath the deck helps control moisture, reduce maintenance, and keep the area clean and well-drained.
