For the Walker family in Hampton, Virginia, their backyard has always been a favorite spot to unwind and entertain guests, with stunning water views that add a special charm to every gathering. However, their old pressure-treated wood deck, which had faithfully served them for years, was showing its age. Cracks, splinters, and general wear and tear were not only detracting from the beauty of their outdoor space but also raising safety concerns. The Walkers knew it was time for an upgrade.
After speaking with a friend who had recently worked with Bluewater Building Company, the Walkers decided to follow suit. Bluewater came highly recommended for its expertise in high-quality deck installations and custom home projects throughout Southeastern Virginia, including Williamsburg, Newport News, and Toano. The company’s reputation as a locally owned and operated business with over 20 years of experience gave the Walkers confidence in their choice.
Consultation and Design with Bluewater Building Company
The Walkers set up an appointment with James Mazzella, Bluewater’s owner and Class A contractor, who personally came to their home for an in-depth consultation. After a thorough inspection of the old deck, James sat down with the Walkers to discuss their vision for a new, long-lasting outdoor space.
The Walkers expressed their desire for a deck that would be low-maintenance, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. Based on their needs, James recommended Trex composite decking, a popular choice for its superior durability, minimal upkeep, and resistance to fading, staining, and mold—perfect for a waterfront environment.
Custom Features for the Perfect Outdoor Space
The Walkers also wanted their new deck to reflect their personal style. Bluewater helped them choose unique Trex decking colors that matched their home’s exterior and the natural tones of their backyard. For added sophistication, Bluewater installed matching black railings and balusters, along with a custom deck skirt designed to complement the natural decking color instead of the typical white PVC.
As a finishing touch, Bluewater’s signature two-tone border design was incorporated into the deck, adding visual depth and an elegant look. The result? A stunning new deck enhances the beauty of the Walkers’ waterfront view and provides a safe and comfortable space for entertaining guests.
Why Trex Decking?
Trex decking offers significant advantages over traditional wood, especially for homeowners near the water. Unlike wood, Trex won’t splinter, warp, or rot. It also requires far less maintenance, meaning the Walkers can enjoy their deck more and less time worrying about staining or repairing it. With a range of colors and finishes available, the Walkers achieved a high-end look that perfectly complements their home and outdoor space.
Hear what Debbie Walker had to say
In a video testimonial, Debbie Walker expressed her satisfaction with the new deck and the entire experience of working with Bluewater Building Company. She praised the team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to bring her vision to life. The Walkers are now enjoying their waterfront home more than ever, knowing their Trex deck will last for years to come.
