Deck Replacement: Suspended Balcony Decks in Redondo Beach, CA

(Jump to all pictures 👉)

Replacement of eight (8) suspended balcony decks in this HOA condo complex in Redondo Beach, CA.

This Redondo Beach condo complex, originally built in the 1960s, had eight suspended balcony decks showing significant deterioration. Years of exposure had led to water intrusion, dry rot, and termite damage, and several of the structural members were no longer reliable. The HOA hired Bay Cities Construction to redesign, engineer, and replace all eight balcony decks with a safer, stronger, and longer-lasting system.

Structural Challenges With the Existing Balcony Decks

Aging 1960s Balcony Systems With Water and Termite Damage

The original balconies were built with wood framing that had deteriorated significantly due to lack of maintenance. Moisture penetration caused dry rot, structural weakening, and material failure across multiple decks.

Unique 50-Foot Balcony Bridge Requiring Full Engineering Redesign

A distinctive feature of this property was a 50-foot wooden bridge system that connected two separate structures. The existing design was no longer safe, but the HOA wanted to preserve the architectural intent.

Our Engineering & Construction Solution

Rebuilding Suspended Balconies With New LVL Beam Bridge System

Our design team recreated the bridge system using heavy LVL beams engineered to safely span the distance between the two buildings. This preserved the original layout while delivering significantly improved structural strength and durability.

Installing Trex Composite Decking for Long-Term Durability

Each balcony was rebuilt using Trex composite decking, providing:

• Weather resistance
