After a fire damaged a Trex deck at a home in Fair Oaks, the ABD team was hired to complete a full structural rebuild and deck replacement.

After

Before

Our team’s task was to safely remove all fire-damaged materials, restore the deck’s structural integrity, and install a high-quality, weather-resistant Trex deck that will ensure durability with minimal maintenance.

We handled every phase of the project, from demolition to final installation, delivering a complete deck replacement after fire damage that met all safety and durability standards.

Restoring a fire-damaged deck involves much more than replacing what was damaged on the surface.

The greatest challenge in projects to restore fire damage is that structural elements beneath the floor surface are often damaged in ways that are not immediately apparent. Therefore, before installing new materials, it was necessary to conduct a thorough assessment.

In addition, when selecting replacement materials, our team considered durability, which is why we sought a solution as close as possible to Trex’s fireproof deck standard. The new materials must withstand fire-related structural stress, Fair Oaks’ heat, and long-term weather exposure.

OUR SOLUTION

Our team paid special attention to structural reliability and climate adaptation to the conditions in Fair Oaks.

We began by erecting a reinforced frame system, including new load-bearing supports. Our specialists carefully aligned and secured every structural element to ensure durability.

Once the framework was complete, we performed a full Trex deck replacement, installing premium composite decking. Is a Trex deck fire-resistant? Yes, and that resistance to heat, moisture, and everyday wear was exactly why we chose it.

In the end, the homeowners received a deck that not only looks great but also provides the strength, stability, and low-maintenance performance they were looking for.

SCOPE OF WORK

Removal of fire-damaged deck structure

Assessment and clearance of compromised framing

Reconstruction of reinforced structural framework

Installation of new Trex composite decking

Final quality inspection and site cleanup

For us, safety has always been and remains our top priority. Every decision we made during this project took structural integrity into account.

We began by completely dismantling the damaged terrace, carefully removing all materials affected by the fire down to the foundation level. This step was absolutely critical to ensure that no damaged elements remained before restoration began.

Next, our team of specialists erected a new reinforced frame. It was designed to meet load-bearing requirements and withstand Fair Oaks’s seasonal weather conditions.

After erecting the frame, we carefully installed Trex composite decking.
Our final step was a quality inspection to ensure that every component met all safety and performance standards.

The transformation is truly impressive. What began as a fire damage Trex deck situation is now a fresh, sturdy, and beautiful outdoor space.

The new Trex deck restores both the functionality and the appearance of the home’s exterior. Unlike traditional wooden decks, which are far more Trex deck flammable, composite requires much less maintenance and holds up significantly better over time.

However, in addition to its aesthetic qualities, we must not forget the durability and strength of the new structure.
