Dale's Remodeling of Salem, Oregon, has proven that a greener choice can be beautiful and functional. Using AZEK Pavers, made with up to 95% recycled scrap tires and plastics, the team from Dale's Remodeling recently transformed Anita and Mike Kennedy's unsightly painted deck into a living space they can be proud of.
The Kennedys, who also reside in Salem, wanted an outdoor space that was attractive and durable. "Our deck had been painted and it looked awful," said Anita Kennedy. "We called several contractors and they all wanted to charge tens of thousands of dollars for a new deck. Then we talked to Dale and learned about AZEK Pavers' lightweight resurfacing paver that could be installed right over our old deck."
Dale Van Lydegraf, President and CEO of Dale's Remodeling, which has been in business for 36 years, pointed out that his firm prides itself on listening to clients' needs and offering solutions like AZEK Pavers. "These pavers are a durable, versatile and beautiful resurfacing choice for old decks, cracked patios and balconies," he said.
Van Lydegraf also recommended AZEK Pavers to the Kennedys as a low-maintenance alternative for their busy lifestyle. "We've saved valuable time on maintenance and only have to hose it off to clean it," said Kennedy. "Sealing and staining is not required or recommended."
According to Van Lydegraf, installation is simple: set the 16" square grids in place and overlap the pavers to connect the grids together. A wide variety of patterns can be created and there are 5 different paver colors to choose from. "If one paver, or a small section, is ever damaged or needs to be replaced, you can simply take it out, and replace it with new ones," he said.
For the Kennedy's, the result is a stunning transformation. "Our deck looks amazing!" said Anita Kennedy. "Everyone comments on it and they're surprised to find out something so attractive is made of recycled tires. Before, our deck was just part of our house. Now it's part of our home."
In addition to the AZEK Resurfacing Paver, the style used on the Kennedy's deck, AZEK Pavers are available in Standard, a thicker landscape profile for new patios and driveways, and a Permeable Paver with built-in spacer lugs for areas that require water management.
