14 Burrill Pl, Boston, MA 02127 – Advanced PVC Roofing
Reading Time: 4 minutesWe recently completed a captivating deck transformation project at 14 Burrill Pl, Boston, MA 02127. This project perfectly illustrates our ability to blend modern construction techniques with preserving historical design elements required by local building regulations.
Scope of Work
- Deck Removal:
The old deck was removed entirely, but we carefully left the original railings intact. This strategy maintained the deck’s footprint as recorded by the building department, ensuring that no changes were made to its shape or size. - Structural Upgrades:
We identified and replaced all rotten joists with premium, durable materials, restoring the deck’s structural integrity. - Plywood Installation:
A new layer of plywood was installed to create a consistent, stable base for the subsequent layers. - PVC Membrane Application:
We applied a 60 mil white PVC membrane over the plywood, providing a sleek, weather-resistant surface. - Platform Build-Up:
A new platform was built to match the original deck’s dimensions. This careful build-up ensured that the new structure mirrored the documented specifications. - Final Deck Shielding:
The entire platform was then covered with Deckshield 60 mil PVC material in the elegant Fable Stone, adding aesthetic appeal and robust protection. - Cleanup:
All construction debris was efficiently removed using our dedicated dump truck, leaving the site pristine.
