Deck Railing
Deck railing is a vital component of any deck, providing both safety and an opportunity to enhance the overall design. We offer a variety of railing brands and options that combine strength, durability, and style to suit any outdoor space. The brands we use include Trex, TimberTech, Westbury aluminum railing, and Regal ideas, and we also use wood.
- Composite Railings: A low-maintenance option that resists fading, staining, and weather damage, providing a clean, polished look for years to come.
- Aluminum Railings: Sleek and modern, aluminum railings are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and incredibly durable, making them perfect for long-lasting safety and style.
- Glass Panel Railings: Add a contemporary touch with glass panels that provide unobstructed views while maintaining safety and a clean, sophisticated appearance. We recommend Regal ideas’ CrystalRail frameless glass railing system.
- Cable Railings: A stylish, modern choice that uses tensioned cables for a minimalist look, allowing you to enjoy the view without bulky railings.
- Wood Railings: For homeowners who prefer a traditional aesthetic, wood railings deliver timeless charm and can be customized with stains or finishes to match your deck design.
Deck Lighting
Deck lighting enhances the beauty, safety, and functionality of your outdoor space, making evenings more enjoyable. At Deck & Drive Solutions, we offer professionally installed low-voltage LED systems that provide the perfect finishing touch for any deck.
- Post Cap Lights: Illuminate railing posts for subtle, ambient lighting that enhances safety and design.
- Stair Riser Lights: Embedded into steps for safe navigation while creating a warm, inviting glow.
- Accent Lighting: Mounted on railing posts or under the deck for focused, stylish illumination.
- Flush In-Deck Lights: Discreetly placed lights within the deck surface, providing a seamless and functional lighting solution.
Under-Deck Drainage Systems
An under-deck drainage system transforms the space beneath your deck into a dry, usable area by diverting rainwater and snowmelt away. Professionally installed systems from Deck & Drive Solutions maximize the functionality and comfort of your outdoor space.
- Create an Outdoor Room: Add lights, ceiling fans, or custom ceilings (options like cedar, PVC, or James Hardie) to create a cool, sheltered area perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
- Professional Installation: Systems like Trex RainEscape are installed above the joists before the decking is added, ensuring maximum water protection.
Privacy Screens
Privacy screens add comfort and style to your outdoor space, creating a secluded and relaxing area. At Deck & Drive Solutions, our privacy solutions provide functional benefits while enhancing your deck’s overall design.
- Secluded Comfort: Enjoy your outdoor space without distractions or prying eyes, turning your deck into a private retreat.
- Customizable Options: Choose from horizontal or vertical screens, aluminum panels, composite walls, or flower box designs to suit your preferences.
- Weather Protection: Privacy screens act as windbreaks and offer partial shade, improving comfort on windy or sunny days.
Deck Framing
The deck’s framing is the foundation that determines the strength, durability, and quality of your entire deck. At Deck & Drive Solutions, we go beyond basic standards to ensure your framing is built to last.
- Wood Framing: We use high-quality treated lumber purchased from specialty local lumberyards, ensuring better durability compared to lower-grade materials found at big-box stores.
- Aluminum Framing: For superior longevity and corrosion resistance, aluminum framing offers a lightweight and modern solution that won’t warp or rot.
- High Standards for Framing: We exceed building codes with engineered spans, top-tier connections, and meticulous attention to weight distribution.
- Joist Tape for Protection: Upgrade your deck’s lifespan with joist tape, which seals screw holes to prevent water penetration, protecting the substructure from rot and decay.
Deck Footings
Strong, stable deck footings are essential for supporting the weight and longevity of your deck. At Deck & Drive Solutions, we go beyond standard footing methods to ensure your deck remains structurally sound for years.
- Helical Piers for Foundations: Helical piers offer superior strength and stability, especially in areas with challenging soil conditions, reducing movement and increasing longevity.
- Engineered for Longevity: We use advanced footing techniques that exceed building codes, ensuring a solid foundation capable of withstanding weather and wear.
Higher Standards and Upgrades
At Deck & Drive Solutions, we build decks that exceed expectations by focusing on superior craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and long-lasting durability. Our approach ensures your deck not only meets but surpasses building codes for unmatched strength and performance.
- Exceeding Building Codes: We use engineered spans, precision connections, and premium materials to ensure structural integrity.
- Hidden Steel Fasteners: These provide a cleaner, more polished look while enhancing strength and durability.
- Joist Tape Protection: Joist tape seals substructure screw holes, preventing water infiltration and protecting against rot.
- Helical Piers: For ultimate stability, helical piers reinforce foundations and deliver lasting support in any soil condition.
- Quality Over Lower-Grade Materials: We source premium products, avoiding inferior options commonly found in big-box stores.
