Cantilevered Decks
Marin County Deck Contractor
Cantilevered Decks were a common type of construction on second and third story homes in Marin from the 1960’s through 1990’s. This type of deck had it’s original framing and structural support tied back into the home. The purpose of this was to eliminate framing that blocked views from doors and windows below the deck. This type of construction can have problems when the deck gets older; water infiltration can cause the framing to rot. This rot can spread quickly and compromise the structure of the home if not treated properly.
Clough’s Experience
Clough Construction has been repairing and replacing cantilevered decks in Marin County for decades. With Scott’s structural expertise, re-designing the existing deck with a glue lam beam is a way to keep a clean design and detach the deck framing from the home. There is also the possibility of installing a post and beams into the existing deck. This method of repair is less costly and does change the look of the substructure below the deck. Either method is an excellent way to protect your home and still enjoy marvelous views from a great deck!
