East Butler, PA
Composite Deck Remodel with Bronze RDI Railing
Making a difference…
A dated and weather-worn deck in East Butler was ready for a fresh start. The homeowner wanted a low-maintenance upgrade that would improve both appearance and long-term durability—without exceeding a modest budget. Our team delivered a complete deck refresh, replacing aging materials with composite decking and a refined bronze railing system that instantly elevated the space.
From structural improvements to finished details, the project transformed the deck into a clean, cohesive outdoor living area—all completed for under $15,000 (client budget target), proving that thoughtful planning and efficient execution can make a major impact without major overspending.
Why Choose Composite Decking and RDI Railing…
For this remodel, we focused on materials that balance performance, aesthetics, and value.
Fiberon Cabana composite decking was selected for its:
Warm, natural wood tone without the maintenance
Resistance to rot, warping, and insect damage
Low upkeep requirements—no staining or sealing
Long-term durability in changing seasons
RDI Bronze railing with Pellinore cap added:
A classic, architectural profile
Strong, code-compliant safety
A rich contrast against the Cabana decking color
Minimal maintenance with long-lasting finish integrity
Together, these materials created a timeless look while reducing future maintenance costs for the homeowner.
From framing to finish…
This project was a full-scope remodel focused on both structure and finish:
Demolition and removal of existing decking and railing
Reframing and rebuilding deck steps for stability and code compliance
Installation of protective deck tape to safeguard framing from moisture
Installation of entry-level Fiberon composite decking in Cabana
Installation of matching Cabana fascia for a seamless perimeter finish
Installation of RDI bronze railing system with Pellinore cap
Every phase was completed with attention to structural integrity and clean detailing, ensuring the finished deck looks polished while standing up to everyday use.
Time and investment…
The total investment remained under the client’s $15,000 budget, making this a high-value exterior upgrade. Timeline was approximately one week from demolition to final railing installation.
By combining efficient labor planning with durable, low-maintenance materials, this remodel delivered immediate visual impact and long-term peace of mind—an outdoor space the homeowner can enjoy for years without the upkeep of traditional wood.
