These photos follow the covered deck on the back of a home we are building in McLean, on the South Carolina side in Clover. Over about three weeks it went from open framing to finished boards, and now the stairs and landing run down the slope toward the water. Inside, the house is in trim-out at the same time, so the deck has been the outdoor half of the work.
Before the first board went down, the deck crew added extra straight edges along the deck supports so the finished surface would run flat and true. The decking is a composite board, and the stairs were framed on the slope and then finished in the same material so they match the deck above. The cap boards are the last piece, and they are on order. Under the roof, the covered section has a wood ceiling and a fan, and it looks out through the trees to the lake.
We have built in McLean since its first phase. If you are weighing a lot there, on either side of the state line, our McLean page has more on the community and how we work: https://mcspaddenhomes.com/mclean
