Out with the old, in with the new Prowood TrueFrame Joists!!

What happens here

After the old deck is removed, the foundation for the new deck is installed. This involves using a compact excavator equipped with a specialized auger attachment to drill and screw helical piles deep into the ground. These steel piles provide a stable and robust foundation that can support the weight of the new deck structure. Workers carefully guide the machinery to ensure precise placement of each pile.

Goal: Install a stable and deep foundation for the new deck
