St. Maru – Custom Deck

Case Study: St. Maru
Custom Deck Project

Our client approached J Kidd Construction with a clear vision: a maintenance-free outdoor deck that maximized comfort and aesthetic appeal while preserving her home’s spectacular view. She sought a synthetic deck material for longevity and minimal upkeep, as well as a handrail and guardrail system that complemented the surroundings without obstructing her scenic vistas.

Challenges

  • Material Selection: The deck needed to be made of durable, synthetic materials that could withstand Bayside’s coastal climate while maintaining a natural look.
  • Unobstructed Views: Designing a guardrail system that met safety standards without blocking the panoramic view.
  • Precision Craftsmanship: Achieving seamless installation to align with the client’s high standards and the project’s premium location.

Solutions

1. Material Selection and Design
J Kidd Construction proposed a high-performance synthetic decking material known for its weather resistance, UV stability, and low-maintenance properties. The material was chosen in a wood-grain texture to mimic the natural charm of hardwood while offering longevity and easy cleaning.

2. View-Friendly Rail System
To ensure the view remained unobstructed, the team installed a slim-profile, cable railing system with stainless steel cables. This option provided maximum visibility while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic. The posts and top rail were powder-coated aluminum for added durability and a refined finish.

3. Expert Installation
Meticulous attention to detail was applied throughout the installation process. The deck’s substructure was reinforced for stability, and all fasteners were concealed to maintain a clean, polished appearance. The cable rail tension was precisely adjusted to ensure compliance with safety standards without compromising the minimalist design.
