BY CATEGORY
Browse Our Deck Projects
Every home and backyard is different. Some homeowners need a completely new deck, while others want to update an existing structure with new decking, railings, or stairs. Explore our projects by category to see different deck styles, materials, and construction options.
Before & After Deck Transformations
See how older decks have been updated with composite decking, new railings, contrasting borders, and other improvements. Our before-and-after projects show what can change when homeowners replace worn materials or remodel an existing outdoor space.
Second-Story & Elevated Decks
Elevated decks are common throughout Pittsburgh’s South Hills, particularly on homes with sloped yards and walkout basements. These projects require careful planning for the supporting structure, stairs, railings, and access to the yard below.
Ground-Level Decks
Ground-level decks can create a comfortable outdoor living area with a closer connection to the yard. Depending on the property, these decks may be used for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing.
Deck Lighting Projects
Lighting can make stairs, deck entrances, and outdoor gathering areas easier to navigate after dark while adding to the finished appearance of a deck. See examples of deck lighting incorporated into Lorenzi Deck Company projects.
Deck Railing Projects
The railing system plays a major role in how a finished deck looks and functions. Our projects include black aluminum railings, stainless steel vertical spindles, and other railing configurations selected to complement the decking and home.
Deck Stairs & Stairway Projects
Stairs are an important part of many deck designs, especially elevated decks and properties with changes in elevation. Their layout, placement, and railing configuration affect how homeowners move between the deck and yard.

SERVICES
Deck Construction & Resurfacing for Pittsburgh Homes
Not every deck project starts with the same conditions. Some homeowners contact us because their existing wood decking has deteriorated. Others want a larger deck, updated stairs and railings, or a completely different outdoor layout.
Before recommending resurfacing or replacement, it’s important to consider the condition of the existing structure. Deck boards may show obvious signs of age, but the supporting framing, posts, footings, and connections also need to be evaluated.
When Resurfacing May Make Sense
If the structure is suitable for continued use and compatible with the proposed improvements, resurfacing may be an option.
When Replacement May Make More Sense
If there are structural problems or the homeowner wants significant design changes, a complete deck replacement may make more sense.
Lorenzi Deck Company provides both new deck construction and deck resurfacing services throughout Pittsburgh’s South Hills.
MATERIALS
Composite Decking Options: TimberTech, Trex & AZEK
Choosing decking materials is an important part of planning a new deck or remodeling an existing one. Lorenzi Deck Company works with composite and PVC decking products from manufacturers including TimberTech, Trex, and AZEK. Each manufacturer offers different collections, colors, textures, and product characteristics.
Our completed projects show how these materials can be paired with contrasting borders, aluminum railings, stairs, and other design details. Vince works with homeowners to discuss material options based on the project, appearance preferences, maintenance expectations, and budget.
