Restored Poolside Living With Redwood Craftsmanship
See how JAZ Builders revitalized this poolside outdoor space.
Project Overview
This poolside redwood deck replacement was completed for a homeowner in the Almaden area of South San Jose seeking a safer, more durable, and visually refined outdoor environment around their swimming pool.
The existing deck had deteriorated due to age, moisture exposure, and structural wear. JAZ Builders Inc. was engaged to remove the compromised structure and construct a new Redwood Heart Smooth deck system designed for improved durability and poolside usability.
The goal was not simply replacement, but restoration. The new installation needed to feel solid underfoot, visually balanced with the pool area, and resilient against moisture and chemical exposure.


Project Goals
Replace deteriorated poolside decking
Improve safety and walking surface stability
Preserve natural redwood aesthetic
Increase resistance to moisture and pool chemicals
The homeowner envisioned a deck that maintained the warmth and authenticity of natural wood while offering upgraded structural performance in a moisture-prone environment.
Scope of Work
Demolition and Removal
The existing rotted deck structure was carefully dismantled and removed, clearing the site for proper reconstruction.
Structural Deck Reconstruction
New framing was installed and adjusted to accommodate existing pool conditions while ensuring proper support and alignment.
Redwood Heart Smooth Decking Installation
Premium 2x6 Redwood Heart Smooth boards were installed to provide a refined surface appearance and long-term durability.
Surface Finishing and Sealing
After initial finish evaluation, a marine-grade protective sealer was applied to enhance resistance against moisture and pool chemical exposure.
Final Inspection and Review
The installation was reviewed for structural stability, clean transitions near the pool structure, and consistent finish quality.


Materials Used
- 2x6 Redwood Heart Smooth decking boards
- Exterior-rated structural framing materials
- Pool-compatible fastening systems
- Marine-grade protective sealer
Redwood was selected for its natural beauty, durability, and ability to complement the surrounding pool environment while maintaining long-term performance.
Project Outcome
The completed installation now provides:
- A safe and refreshed poolside walking surface
- Natural redwood warmth and architectural presence
- Improved resistance to moisture and chemical exposure
- Enhanced usability and outdoor comfort
Despite minor finish selection delays and site alignment limitations caused by the original pool construction, the project was successfully completed with all concerns addressed and no outstanding complications.
