Meranti deck with aluminum railing

This owner was a high up at a one of the big local commercial construction companies in town. They specialize in large commercial buildings like condos, offices, and apartments. We occasionally sub contract decks for them, so he knew about us and our quality of work. He normally would do something like this himself but his busy schedule just wouldn’t allow time for it, so he hired us. We got the ball rolling on his project by installing the main deck, the framing for the second story deck, and the railing. He is planning on finishing out the upper deck, built in kitchen, and staining himself at a later date. His old deck had the built in fireplace so we maintained it and built the new deck up to it. The decking is Meranti, an exotic hardwood. The railing has Trex composite posts with Signature aluminum infill. This will be a fantastic area for hosting parties once it is all completed!
