Wood Deck Rebuild in Plymouth Township – Plymouth Commons

This featured project in the Plymouth Commons subdivision of Plymouth Township was a complete wood deck rebuild designed to restore structural integrity while elevating the overall aesthetic of the outdoor space.

The original structure had aging framing, worn decking, and a deteriorating lattice roof system. Titan Decks performed a full demolition and rebuilt the space from the ground up using premium cedar materials and a refreshed design that complements the home’s architecture and surrounding landscape.

Scope of Work

Full Demolition

• Removed existing deck framing

• Removed old deck surface

• Removed existing lattice roof structure

Everything was taken down to create a clean foundation for a properly engineered rebuild.

New Structural Framing

• Installed all new framing

• Ensured updated structural integrity

• Built to current code standards

The new framework provides long-term durability and stability.

Cedar Decking & Lattice

• Installed premium cedar decking

• Rebuilt the lattice roof system in cedar

• Restored architectural detail and shade structure

Cedar was selected for its natural beauty, dimensional stability, and timeless warmth. The lattice roof creates filtered light and shadow, adding visual depth and comfort to the space.

Bench Rebuild

• Reconstructed built-in benches

• Integrated seamlessly into the new deck layout

The rebuilt seating maintains functionality while matching the new structure perfectly.

Full Project Stain

• Stained entire deck and lattice structure

• Enhanced wood grain and color richness

• Added long-term protection against Michigan weather

The final stain ties everything together and protects the cedar against moisture, UV exposure, and seasonal temperature swings.

The Result

The finished deck is a dramatic transformation — a warm, architecturally detailed cedar outdoor living space that feels intentional, cohesive, and built to last.

The lattice roof system creates a stunning interplay of sunlight and shadow across the deck surface, while the rebuilt benches provide comfortable built-in seating. Surrounded by mature landscaping in Plymouth Commons, the space now feels private, refined, and completely renewed.

Why Wood Still Makes Sense

While many homeowners choose composite, this project demonstrates why premium cedar remains a beautiful option when properly installed and finished:

• Natural character and warmth

• Custom architectural detailing

• Refinishable surface

• Strong structural performance

When built and maintained correctly, a cedar deck delivers both beauty and longevity.
