The Story

Decks of Distinction embarked on a grand venture in St. Albert with a substantial budget of $20,000. Within a firm two-week period, the task was to construct a multi-level deck using composite materials, equipped with features to provide shade and privacy, as well as incorporating glass for an unobstructed view.

Challenge

The project presented a trio of challenges: to create sufficient shade and privacy for the homeowners, incorporate an unobstructed view with glass, and execute a multi-level design that flows naturally with the home's existing architecture. Balancing these requirements within the set timeline and budget was key.

Solution

The design included multiple levels to define separate spaces and accommodate the slope of the backyard. The team chose high-quality composite decking for its durability and aesthetic appeal. For the railing, aluminum with glass inserts was selected to provide security without sacrificing the view. A pergola with glass was innovatively designed to offer shade and maintain an open, airy feel.

Execution

Decks of Distinction executed the build with precision, focusing on the seamless integration of each level. The aluminum and glass railings were installed to maximize visibility, while the pergola was strategically positioned to cast shade without overwhelming the space. The installation of each component was synchronized to maintain momentum and ensure the project stayed on track.

Outcome

Upon completion, the deck stood as a testament to modern design and functionality, delivered within the ambitious 2-week deadline. The result was a stunning, multi-level outdoor living area that blended privacy, shade, and clear views harmoniously. The project was a resounding success, meeting the client's desires and the company's high standards.

"Our experience with Decks of Distinction was absolutely exceptional. They delivered a sophisticated, multi-level deck that meets all our needs for privacy, shade, and enjoying our beautiful view. The aluminum and glass railing is a standout feature that we especially love. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the team worked diligently to complete everything within the two-week timeframe. Our backyard has been transformed into a serene escape, and it’s all thanks to the hard work and creativity of Decks of Distinction."
