From Failing Deck to Functional Beauty
From Failing Deck to Functional Beauty – A Patio Transformation with Custom Entry Steps

When the Deck’s a Wreck — It’s Time for a Change
At AMC Homes, we’ve seen it all: sun-damaged boards, rotting frames, loose nails, and decks that just don’t feel safe anymore. That’s exactly what our clients were facing when they reached out. Their once-beloved backyard deck had become a liability — worn out, unstable, and no longer matching the look of their home.
They wanted something better — and we delivered.
Step 1: Removing the Old Deck
Before we could build anything new, we had to say goodbye to the old. We safely tore out the deteriorated deck, cleared away debris, and prepped the area for a fresh start. No shortcuts — just proper removal, grading, and foundation work to get things done right.
Step 2: Designing a Custom Patio
We worked with the homeowners to design a low-maintenance paver patio that fit their lifestyle and aesthetic. The design included:
- High-quality, durable pavers for a clean and timeless look
- A layout that encourages outdoor relaxation and entertaining
- Proper drainage to prevent pooling or shifting over time
Step 3: Installing Custom Steps to the Home
Instead of rebuilding another bulky deck, we added custom steps that lead directly from the home down to the patio. These steps:
- Were designed to match the patio style
- Provide safe, easy access to the backyard
- Eliminate the need for railings or large platforms
- Create a sleek, modern entry point
The Result: A Clean, Functional Outdoor Upgrade
This transformation gave the homeowners a fresh outdoor space that's:
- Easier to maintain
- Safer to use
- More visually appealing
And best of all — no more worrying about warped deck boards or failing supports.
