Raised Backyard Deck Build with Staircase & Screened Patio

Nextora Construction designed and built this raised backyard deck to extend the home’s outdoor living space — engineered framing, a durable decking surface, a wide staircase, and a screened patio underneath, all built to handle years of everyday use.

Project Overview

This project centered on a raised wood deck connecting the home’s side entrance to the backyard. The frame was built with pressure-treated lumber, engineered to carry the full load of the decking surface, staircase, and railings above code minimums. On top, we installed a rich, cedar-tone decking surface, a finish chosen for its warmth and durability underfoot.

Below the deck, we enclosed the space into a screened patio, turning what’s often wasted under deck space into a usable, bug-free outdoor room. A wide staircase connects the deck to the lawn, and the surrounding fence ties the whole yard together.

Scope of Work & Executed Services

• Deck Frame Construction: Built the full structural frame  posts, beams, and joists  from pressure-treated lumber, engineered to support the decking, staircase, and full expected load.

• Decking Surface Installation: Installed cedar-tone decking boards across the entire platform, chosen for durability and a natural finish that holds up outdoors.

• Under-Deck Screened Patio: Converted the space beneath the deck into a screened-in patio, extending usable outdoor square footage.

• Staircase Construction: Built a wide, code-compliant staircase from the deck down to the yard.
• Railing Finish: Framed the deck perimeter with white PVC railings for safety and a clean finished look.
• Fencing & Site Cleanup: Installed matching perimeter fencing and regraded the yard for a finished, move-in-ready result.
